    Texan's Green fulfills dream home for single mom

    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.

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

        Very cool especially since recent headlines are all about Vick and the corrupt basketball official.
        I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
        "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
        You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
        It was all         true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
        He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can         mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

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

            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.
