This story about Houston Texans' WR Andre Johnson is about as far as you can get from the actions committed over the weekend by a person who formerly played linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs:
Here's an NFL story designed to warm your heart and terrify your wallet. Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson, one of the league's unquestioned good guys, on Tuesday performed what's becoming an annual ritual for him: a Toys "R" Us shopping spree for at-risk youth in Houston.
Johnson's Foundation, the Andre Johnson Charitable Foundation, funded the spree, in which 12 children selected by Child Protective Services had 80 seconds to fill up their carts with as many toys as they could. And oh, could they fill those carts.
The total bill for the shopping spree? $19,000. This is the story the media should be reporting instead.
