OCALA, Fla. (AP) -- Emma Culpepper, the adoptive mother of Miami Dolphins quarterback Daunte Culpepper, has died. She was 92.
Daunte Culpepper told The Associated Press his adoptive mother died at her home in Ocala on Saturday. The cause of death was not immediately known, but Daunte Culpepper said she suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
He said Emma Culpepper raised as many as 15 children, none of whom was biologically hers.
I hate that ****head, but the woman did a lot of good.
You think you're hot **** in a champagne glass, but you're really cold diarrhea in a Dixie cup!
RIP

She raised 15 kids and none were hers?
The optomist in me says she must have been a wonderful woman.
The pessimist wonders if that was a social assitance scam.
not sure which side wins out in me
If it kept those kids out of the streets then more power to women like her.She raised 15 kids and none were hers?

If she adopted them she gets squat from the state unless she's on welfare or something. IMO she was probably trying to give 15 people better lives. Have to admire someone like that...RIP

the likely retort is "aww come one it's just a joke" but that was one pretty pathetic joke. Pretty classless man.
Back to the main subject, it's really too bad, especially since it seems like she had Alzheimer's towards the end. Hopefully she passed away peacefully.
Here's a great, but sad article that was recently done on Emma Culpepper:
In her 92 years, she raised butchers and bankers and teachers and caregivers and, yes, pro football players. She made such an impact on people's lives that even Randy Moss, Daunte's long, lost teammate, sent five arrangements of flowers Saturday.
And you know the most amazing part of the 17 children she raised? None of them was her own -- at least biologically. She never gave birth; she just gave life. Her children weren't conceived from her womb but from her heart. As the old preacher said Saturday, Emma took rags nobody wanted and turned them into quilts.
"She was our gift from God," says Betty Isaac, her niece. "Without her love, her care and her discipline, who knows what would have happened to us."
don't be a moran , Hurricane. Not cool.
I was hoping this thread would die, literally. It was a bad joke, in bad form, and I apologize. Unfortunately, Papa resurrected it, again, and I have no way of deleting it or it would be history.
Calling me a moron for something I regret posting doesn't make it any better.
get back on your short bus and scribble comments like that in crayon on the back of the seat!
