Default Three cheers for Je'Rod Cherry!!!!

This is one of the most generous, selfless things I've ever seen from a professional athlete. Just a great story:

For this former Patriot, charity has a (very) nice ring to it

Wow... he's giving up the FIRST ring?!? Pretty amazing story.

I'm gonna get in on this for sure: https://www.celebritiesforcharity.or...erBowlRing.cfm

Thought this was a very cool line:
Quote:
Cherry wants his story to inspire other people to do whatever they can to help make the world a better place. And it doesn't necessarily mean giving up something as precious as a Super Bowl ring.


"It doesn't matter what it is, you can have a role and a part, and you can make a difference," he said. "I totally believe that. The Patriots of 2001 proved it."

What is the % paid on winning prizes in the US? The cash prize in addition to the ring (which is used to pay the IRS) is quite large ...

I love this story - it may be old to some of us but I'm glad to see it has a second wind. Je'Rod is an awesome individual.
