He's a good kid along with being one of the most exciting quarterbacks I've ever seen. Protect him, please!!!!

I have donated.

I've always appreciated that most of our stars have had some type of foundation.

There is so much we take for granted as a population. Kudos to JB and others for using their platforms to bring awareness to these and other causes. I'm ashamed to admit I had to goggle what "food insecurity" is. I thought it was kids afraid to eat too much.

I was free to starve when I was having it tough..

Props to Joe for creating a foundation in the spirit of making society better. It seems he's intent on really trying to help individuals in need, which I find commendable.

Hopefully he has better people in charge of it than the Daltons did.

Yikes. Hopefully with Joe’s parents heavily involved nothing like that will happen.

The fee itself isn't illegal, it's just a lot more than other management companies charge. I don't know how their involvement differs from others but i'd guess they justify the percentage based on how much of the logistics they handle, off a quick perusal of the article. Being Burrow's third year in the league, he's had plenty of time to suss all the details out. The Dalton's charity was up and running before he even took a snap in the NFL.

Awesome that Kay still loves and supports the Bengals. If anyone is feeling charitable during the holiday season this is obviously a great cause. And our QB deserves the support. |
