Jevon Kearse Gobble Gobble Gobble – 40 Points

With his free time–available to him since becoming a “might start, might be inactive” NFL player–Jevon Kearse still finds time to be a nice guy. Pro Football Talk reports that Kearse has donated 600 turkeys and Thanksgiving meals to the fine folks of our armed services at Fort Myers.  It is, according to the article, something he does every year. Hard to knock a guy who uses some of his wealth and fame to help the less fortunate, even if he is a diva who leaves games entirely after finding out he’s been deemed inactive for the game. 40 Points to Kearse and Titans owners...

If Hot Dogs Were Money, Sanchez Would Have Donated $1,000 – 40 Points

Still feeling bad over the whole “eating a hot dog on the sideline during a game” thing, Mark Sanchez decided to turn it into a positive.  The NY Jets rookie quarterback donated 500 hot dogs and 500 hamburgers (along with plenty of buns for both) to a local soup kitchen. That’s actually pretty cool… except for the fact that most soups don’t have hot dog chunks in them.  I mean, wouldn’t a more practical gift have been 500 containers of chicken stock? Anyway, it’s a great nice-guy move, and a pretty savvy PR move for a rookie.  Of course, I’m still not...

Chad Ochocinco Is Freaking Cool – 80 Points

I’m creating a new PQE just on the awesomeness of this story. You may have heard that first-place Cincinnati has been having trouble selling tickets to this Sunday’s game.  It’s probably because the local fans have 20+ years of history with the team sucking.  I wouldn’t be surprised if there were Bengals fans in Cincy that still don’t know the team is actually doing really well this year. At any rate, the game was under blackout threat.  It was, that is, until Chad Ochocinco and Motorolla bought up the remaining tickets. That’s right.  A player bought the...

Lofa Tatupu Donates Cash – 40 Points

Man, Lofa Tatupu is one giving dude.  First, he donates his brain to science.  Now, he’s giving $10,000 to tsunami relief in the Pacific Rim. One of our “Good Deed” PQE’s states: “Makes national news for a good deed not already on this list – 40 Points”.  So, he just earned his owners (and owners of the Seahawks) 40 more points. Good work, Lofa.  You da man. Tweet This...

Vince Young Takes McNair Boys To Father-Son Breakfast – 40 Points

We don’t get enough chances here at Fantasy UnSports to give out points for positive things–hey, I can only award points for what NFL players do, whether their actions are good or bad–so it’s nice to see a story like this come along. Steve McNair, tragically killed in July, used to take his sons to an annual father-son breakfast at a local restaurant.  This year, Vince Young showed up and surprised the boys, taking them to the breakfast himself.  The article says the kids were thrilled.  What a great gesture. You may remember that Young saw McNair as a mentor, and they were...
