Unfortunately as sports fans we are all to quick to jump on a blog to complain about a sports figure in our town but when one does something genuinely good such as Madieu Williams with his foundation, the string of comments appear few and far in-between.

I'm happy to be the first of what I hope are many comments commedning Madieu on being a guy we can root for both on and off the field.

Thanks to Madieu. He is a class guy, doing his part in the community. There are lots of others on the roster who are class guys also. Too bad there are also a few on Madieu's own team who could stand to benefit from one of these "life skills" clinics.

Thanks for all you do in our Community, Madieu! I will be rooting for you ON the field, for what you do there and OFF the field. WHODEY!
