    Yes we should. Really great of Watson to do that. 

    Did the  article mention(sorry , i didn't read it) that when he was a young kid that Warrick Dunn gave his mom a home? Warrick Dunn would give a house to a single mom every year(not sure if he still does that since he's been out of the NFL). Great to see Deshaun Watson paying it forward to those in need. I'm sure Warrick Dunn is proud.
    I did not know that.  That's awesome!!!

    Yes it was:

    Warrick Dunn helped give Deshaun Watson a home 10 years ago


    Dunn's foundation teamed up with Habitat for Humanity to furnish a home for Watson and his family.


    Clemson quarterback and soon-to-be NFL first-round draft pick Deshaun Watson’s upbringing came with assistance from none other than former NFL running back Warrick Dunn.

    Dunn played 12 years in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons, and after retiring, he established the Warrick Dunn Charities foundation. The foundation’s goal was to provide affordable housing for families in need. Dunn’s motive was that he lost his own mother when he was 18.

    Watson, along with his mother Deann and three siblings, lived in a small, cramped apartment in Gainesville, Ga. Deshaun brought home a Habitat for Humanity note one day that gave steps to home ownership, which Deann pursued. She spent over 300 hours helping build new houses before they could move into one of their own.

    Through his foundation, Dunn was able to surprise the Watson family with a furnished home with four bedrooms, two baths, and even a full refrigerator.

    "I felt grown having my own room," Watson told the Associated Press. "Just having my own bed, not really being squished, not really worrying about someone sneaking up on me, it was a great moment, a special moment."

    It’s something Dunn loves to help people with, especially when the effort is put in. "We're helping people who are helping themselves," Dunn said. "It's crazy how much pride people have when it's something they work for and not something they're given."

    Dunn might not have known that Deshaun would become a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist and national champion, but it shows the impact can be even greater than imagined.


    And Warrick Dunn still does it: https://wdc.org/

    Wow that hit in Adams was awful. That should warrant a multiple game suspension in my mind. NFL and football in general have BIG problems going forward and they have nothing to do with an idiotic president or kneeling players. I have a 6 year old son and I don't want him playing. Youth football and high school numbers are way down in Northern California. Size and speed of today's athletes doesn't lend itself to anything but a flat out brutal game. Shame because there was a time I loved the NFL. But between watching guys literally destroy their lives and the fact that the overall quality of play is sloppier and less cohesive than ever I'm rapidly losing interest.

    I watched it out, so I didn't have the best view....no rewind in hand....but the Bears guy appeared to have his head down when he made the hit.  If so, he may have launched and not seen what was going to happen.  That stated, it is the wrong way to tackle and he deserves a fine but I don't know that it was intentional.  A bad hit but I don't think he meant to tee up the dudes head like he ended up doing.
    Brutal hit.  Hope he is ok, that looked really bad.  Damn, the NFL is tough stuff.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Gotta admit, I think Romo's pretty good so far. Might yap too much for my liking but he's offering up valuable insights.

    Way too much yapping. He needs to cool it down with the guessing of the plays and yelling while plays are happening like "he's open" when the guy if off screen and we can't see him. I'm very surprised his voice isn't more annoying.

    Zero excuse on the hit whether he meant it or not. You're not supposed to lead with your helmet for your own and the ball carrier's safety. Throw the chair at him.

    After watching it again, it was fully intentional. He sees his target, then lowers his head, then launches so the crown of the helmet nails him.

    Not to mention he was celebrating the hit cheap shot
  • DewieCoxDewieCox Posts: 11,429
    Not that egregious imo. He was going for a pop and it was unnecessary, but there are hits with more intent every game. Didn’t see any celebrating either. He was begging off the refs pretty quickly and it looked like he was checking on the guy when the jawing started. 

  • MayDay10MayDay10 Posts: 11,723
    lol.  that was bad 

    The runner was obviously wrapped up and defenseless.  This pea-brain decided to charge at him and launch the crown of his head into the guy's face.  
  • pjhawkspjhawks Posts: 12,521
    that has to be a multiple game suspension.  he is lucky Adams isn't paralyzed or even dead. just an extremely dirty hit.
  • JK_LivinJK_Livin Posts: 7,365
    That shot of him laughing is going to add a few games.

    Of course the Patriots take advantage of Folk's missed fgs. But the Giants can't

    thought it was a dumb move for the Bucs to on-sides kick at the end.  essentially gave the Pats 3 extra points and forced you to score a TD.  of course not sure you could have trusted Folk at that point but you'd have a shorter field to score a td. the on-sides kick wasn't needed there.  and i hate shots of people patting shitty kickers on the back.

    i'm sure the two Super Bowl rings and Super Bowl MVPs give him great comfort.  Maybe someday one of our Eagles QBs will enjoy the same.

    i would just like more winning seasons. He's been playing his best football the past 3 to 4 years. But the record doesn't show it.

    Jeez, I could never imagine being unhappy if my team won 2 sb's in the last decade and 4 in my lifetime. I have friends who are Giants fans that are always bitching and complaining. It's SO annoying. Try being an Eagles fan!


    But....yeah, poor ol' Eli. Never getting the credit he so rightfully deserves! ugh.

    My 6 year old son tells his Mother a story yesterday. A kid in his class is a Patriots fan via his father. My son decided to tell him the Pats are cheaters and convinced him of this. Kid was going home to tell his father. 

    My 9 year old daughter a couple of weeks ago asked me what game was on and said she was good with any game except the Pats. They cheat. 

    Point of this your your reputation is horrible when small children on the West Coast call you cheaters.
