It's easy, and only takes a few moments.There is a chance we're seeing things differently, and I'm possibly mixing up my version of the "slot" and quick passing attack that will be kept, but in reality--there's certainly going to be WR's lined up in, and continuing to catch passes out of the slot position, no? Maybe we're not on the same page as to how much the "slot position" will be used? Enlighten me please (not meaning it to sound sarcastic either).
On Twitter just now:
I know BB wants to move away from the slot receiver-based offense, but this makes me hope Amendola sets an NFL record for receptions next season.

If you were intending sarcasm, Condon, I apologize. Like a lot of people, my emotions are running a little high today and it just pissed me off to read responses which seemed critical of what I interpreted as just a generous, heart-felt gesture from a pro athlete. I can be as cynical and snarky as anyone at times, but I just feel like this is a point in time when good deeds need to simply be taken at face value, and what Amendola has pledged seems just that to me - a good deed.Maybe I should add a sarcastic smiley?
Just to put this in perspective:
Amendola will make about $3.5M next year. If he catches 100 passes, he'll donate 10k, or 0.28% of his salary. Let's say that an average person is making 50,000 a year... to match the proportionate donation, they would need to donate $144. However, that person will not get an article written about them.
Amendola will probably make more money from endorsements/good publicity to more than match that figure.
I would like to see a big time Boston athlete really step up and make a impactful donation.

How about a different perspective?
This is a generous and heartfelt gesture which will be graciously welcomed and appreciated by the community.
We don't know whether this has happened in the past and/or will in the future. My guess is that it both likely has happened and will again in the future, but we never hear of it. To be honest, the amount of charity work done by members of all of our pro teams is more than substantial. This has been noted by those on both local and national levels.Just to put this in perspective:
