Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]sdr: One of our friends locally works on the staff of the Marshall Faulk Foundation. A couple of years back, I asked the Foundation for a small donation of a signed item that my youth football team could raffle to help raise money.
Marshall donated two signed helmets, two signed jerseys and multiple pictures and cards (all signed as well) to the team. He also got teammate Torry Holt to donate a signed helmet and signed jersey. Needless to say, we were completely blown away by the generosity. What made it truly amazing is the letter we received from him the following season asking if we needed anything for that year.
Truly a class act. I enjoyed watching him play for SDSU back in the day (back when they were good), but I really became a fan (of the person) after that act of incredible generosity.[/quote]
This is the kinda thing that would make me want to ‘collect’ IF/WHEN I ever got really wealthy. Id pay extra knowing I was promoting a class act, rather than another wanna be.

ParticipantDWCAP: The kids I coach run the gamut from 9 years of age to 13, and I spend a lot of time talking about conduct and attitude, both on and off the field. Unfortunately, the guys like Faulk and LT are outnumbered by the TOs and the Pacman Jones of the world, and a lot of the youth players emulate the attitude and the conduct.
It’s gratifying to see certain players who give so much of themselves and they do it unconditionally.
About five years back our Mitey Mite team (the youngest age group) was invited to scrimmage a team from Murrieta at halftime during a Chargers – Rams preseason game at the Q. All of the Pop Warner players in attendance got to meet the Charger players as they came onto the field and I remember Drew Brees and Lorenzo Neal in particular greeting EVERY SINGLE KID as they came out and Neal telling the players: “This is where it all starts” (meaning youth football). The kids were literally awestruck that a pro player was talking to THEM. That did more for these kids as far as instilling a love for the game then an entire season of coaching could have.
These pro players have little to no idea as to how much of an impact they have on these kids.

Participantsdrealtor I was under the impression that he lived over in the composer district? I could be wrong about that. I do know at one point he had a son in Little League.
Also as a Cleveland guy I’d been hoping to bump into Joe Walsh like you said but I think he was selling or sold his house in Olivenhain.
