Wonderful guy.

Funny that no one from the "Religious" Right does stuff like this.

I see that public display I cringe. Like the Pharisees, soooooo religious. Showing their piety, in public, when it's no more than hypocrisy because of their lack of help for the poor in private.

The one republican that could get my vote

He was obviously within the 1% (of his field)...and you're bitching because he wasn't the .01%.

And just came back to delete.

The rabid football fan in me got the best of me.

Apologies to the community.

He said that his agent told him he was making the worst mistake of his life, and he answered "no I'm not".

He also said he'd never farmed a day in his life and learned everything from YouTube and with help from local farmers.

Here is a hero to uphold for the children.

If Brown made that $20 million or so, he's set for life unless he makes a lot of stupid investments.

farm is probably a good investment.

That's why he thought it was a mistake.

he was hoping for one more contract.

His contract ended at the end of the 2013 season.
He made $37.5 million minus agent fees and taxes.

Also, I have a friend that's a sports agent. Hd told me that
most agents only get 3% commission off football players
maybe 5%. He also said most football players are pretty dumb.

Obviously this one wasn't.

Good for him.

that later became an accountant/CPA for one of the big national accounting firms. He worked out of Boston, so his company had clients that were in every major team sport - basketball, baseball, football and hockey. In his opinion (and this was back in the mid 1990s), hockey players were the worst with their money. Of course, this was before the rush from high school to the NBA became so common, so maybe it's changed?

His agent was just pissed because he wasn't going to get a piece of him anymore.
This is a great story. Giving back is good. If I had gazillions of dollars, I'd give it back too. How much money could one possibly need for a comfortable life? I've never understood the greed of the 1%.

It feels good to give back.

Heaven knows, we get our share of fake good news as well as plenty of the bad stuff.

A sweet man growing sweet potatoes.

cutting into their profits?

Wish there were more like him.

glad he chooses to feed the hungry, the ultimate team player!

You don't come across people like this very often!

Would put it to good use. So many only support rich car makers, home builders, fashion designers and jewelers and encourage selfish behavior in their family and fans. What a wonderful human being, I would love to meet him.

ReThug Heaven...we gotta change a LOT!

others. That's our main problem today. We have this clique of people for whom there's never enough money. You don't need $1 billion. That's an absurd amount of money.

His play began to suffer, that's why the Rams released him. Good for him, found an outlet for his energy and purpose.

Wonder what 46,000 pounds of sweet potatoes looks like.

my type of human being. Cares.

saw helping others, rather than growing power for their sect, as "god's plan," the world would be a better place.

Instead of inflated ego like so many...he is showing his gratitude by a life of service to others. Hey religious right,,this is what a Christian looks like.

It helps restore a bit of my faith in humans.

My wife thinks I'm crazy, but I've told her that if we ever had tens of millions of dollars in the bank, I'd just start buying land, growing food, planting trees for wildlife habitat, and be content for the rest of my life.

Good for Brown; he's living the dream and I applaud him for that!

same thing.
That is always my first thought if I came into money (but I don't play football or the lottery, so it probably won't happen!)...buy a farm! Lots of land for growing food, lots of barns for animals, houses for people. What's the point of hanging on to more than one needs?
