    Relief contributions by various sports teams/figures/associations (as reported on Sportscenter):

    The NFL: $1million
    New York Yankees: $1million
    Houston Texans: $1million
    University of Florida: $75,000

    They also mentioned the Astros, but I did not hear an amount.

    This truely warmed my heart. Especially from The Boss and the Gators.:)

    For somebody who wanted out of New Orleans so badly to put up money out of his own pocket says a lot, in my opinion. I've always like Baron Davis and like him even more now.

    I cant help but look at NFL: 1 million and think: This is from a league who's individual teams are worth hundreds of millions... I would think they can do alot better...

    I was thinking the same thing. But better yet, all those players in pro-sports that make muli-millions yearly need to cough up some big $. Each.

    But anything is a start.

    Baron Davis supposedly loved New Orleans, just hated the Hornets.

    Every person on the planet COULD do more. I could sell my house and car, and move into the Astrodome and donate quite a bit.

    None of us are in a position to judge the philanthropy of others.

    Don't count on TO giving money because he has to feed his family!:dis: :hihi: :dis:


    Sorry, just had to lighten up on the mood some.

    I pray for all of the families that still have family unaccounted for, I myself am still missing some cousins.

    Glad to see this and was surprised to see Baron Davis on the list.
    University of Florida and the Yankees also surprised me.
