Charles Grant Spending his Chedda'

numpster · 06-18-2007, 05:29 PM

Read this story the other day and had some questions about it (why just the women? was it the last day of the camp mentioned close to Mother's day? did he say something rude to some of the staff? etc...), but you know what? It's done.

Even a little generosity is generous. Reckon I should be more worried about how he's coming off the edge than how he spends his pocket change.

Double Geeez!! Yes, we should be waaaay more worried about how the team performs on the field... Like you wouldn't do the same thing??

I'm sure the people behind the scenes get overlooked all the time in professional sports. It's a nice gesture. Take it for what it was intended.

Yeah the guy did a nice thing for some people who don't get any credit for the organization's success. Classy Charles, very classy.

By the way, I'm going to go ahead and use this forum to reiterate how awesome Charles Grant is. I always blabber on about how he brings the energy to our defense, and I usually say some stuff about his solid statistics. But there was one thing I came across today that I hadn't realized. The guy has started every game since he's been a Saint. You know he gets banged up and stuff, but he brings it every Sunday. This guy is a stud, and I'm glad he's in the black and gold. That is all.

100 dollars a plate for 20 people is a great meal. nice deal. You got to remember the office grunts. His paper work wont get lost anytime soon.
Yep he is an old school type of player.

Well said. Grant made a nice gesture and didn't advertise it.

On a related story before DOGgate broke:

Michael "what a long summer" Vick donated $10,000 to the victim's families at Va Tech, his alma mater. People here in ATL went ballistic that he donated such a small amount.

My thought was, the families were not victims of a natural disaster or fire. Money was not needed, as was and is the case with Katrina, or Hugo, or now in Texas. The amount he gave didn't bother me, but the fact he didn't do it anonymously was just stupid.

office grunts ok... but why just the women?
