Nominate Me for the Members Project!

I’ve submitted a proposal to the American Express Members Project to close the youth mentoring gap. This is a HUGE opportunity to reach thousands of youth across the country. Would you help me get the project into the Top 25?

Members Project is an exciting initiative that brings people together to make a difference in the world. It's simple. People go online to share ideas for projects—and ultimately vote on which projects will share $2.5 million in funding from American Express. For more information on the Amex Members Project visit:

And so it is...

Due to the fact that I've had multiple people remark on my affinity for Jeremy Shockey, and his exodus from New York, I have decided to pay homage to him, and to welcome our new friend Brett Favre to the Jets. I don't feel good about this. I like my legendary, record-setting QBs to be settled in nice places like Minnesota and Wisconsin. Rebellious tight ends with too much to prove should be on the East Coast, where I could run into them at the Borgata or something.

But...is it me or.....does he actually look happy here?
