Dont you think it is sort of BS that the NFL has only pledged $1MM to the hurricane relief fund? ( I know, something is better than nothing)

But here is an organization which makes billions of dollars, just signed and $8BB dollar TV contract, charges full price for pre season, making money hand over fist for entertianment (and in tax payer funded stadiums) . Its stars, such as Randy Moss, brag that they piss away $10K a day. Each one of these teams ought to step up and do the same as the Yankees and Stienbrenner did.

i am glad to see they are helping...but considering the amounts of dollars that are mentioned in the every day life of the nfl - it sure does seem a little on the low side.
