I corresponded with her and purchased a NFL jersey from NfL.com and had it sent to her San Diego address. She had an event to attend with Drew the following weekend. Sure enough about three weeks after the correspondence with her, my jersey showed up in Iraq signed by Drew.

There I was -- I was just sort of starting to turn.... just beginning to gear myself up towards mildly hating on Drew, with the recent direction of this thread...plus for weeks now I've been kinda cold, unemotional and ruthless about it all -- like, "yeah it's strictly a business," whenever I think about the Drew contract mess these days... and then I read this post of yours and I kinda remembered, oh wow, Drew can be freaking awesome sometimes. That's a really awesome story.
