Texan's Green fulfills dream home for single mom

[OpIv37]

Foster's dream of home ownership is coming true thanks to Ahman Green and the Houston Texans. On Monday, Green made good on a promise to make the down payment on a home for a single parent in exchange for reclaiming his No. 30 from teammate Jason Simmons.

We always rip on these guys when they get busted for roids, pot, dog fighting or strip club brawls. Let's give Green and Simmons some credit on this one.

Yeah, I saw that last night on NFLN. Great story.

[Mr. Miyagi]

This is a very nice feel good story. I wish every pro athlete would do something like that.

[The King]

Very cool especially since recent headlines are all about Vick and the corrupt basketball official.

[Voltron]

Don't know an awful lot about Simmons but Green has always been a class act in my book.

[Bulldog]

Props to both Green & Simmons on this one. What a great story.

Now why can't Pacman and Tank and Vicks look at this and realize that it isnt that hard to be a good person. $25,000! Thats nothing to these guys and yet it meant so much to that woman and her son. Think about it... you could spend $80,000 "making it rain" and ending up with a court case. Or you could spend $25,000 and improve the life of a under privilaged mother and her autistic son dramatically. Its sad that some choose to do the former.
