Sort of OT...Kidney Donation

Has anyone heard about Everson Walls donating his kidney to former Cowboy teammate Ron Springs? I'm just so impressed by Walls, a truly great football player in his day, that he would do such a thing for a former teammate in such great need. It wasn't even supposed to get out, but Ron's son Shawn Springs, a good NFL player in his own right, apparently let the cat out of the bag. In this day of greed and selfishness in sports and in society, this is a truly heartwarming story of what generosity and class are all about, especially during the holiday season. How can you even measure such a contribution and gift? A great story...

    Yea, I read that piece in SI and was taken back by that. Unbelievable friend.

    I heard about that. I've pretty much always disliked the Cowboys (which is pretty much a sin since moving to Texas), but you can't help but respect such a selfless act.

    I agree - solid move. As an Eagles fan, I have to confess that I never minded Aikman as a player ... just hate the team.
