Derek Carr named NFLPA Community MVP

Carr's one of the good guys in life. Carrying on the tradition of Brees of giving back to the community and caring in general. I just wish from an X-and-O standpoint that things around him were in better shape.

An addendum here if anyone notices what I'm typing .... the NFL's PR machine is the reason why charitable donations from players get publicized. Even back when the NFL was more watchable than it is now, you still had players on each team featured in United Way commercials posing with special-needs children and such. IIRC, Archie Manning and Derland Moore did a few Saints-themed ads for it. And Tom Benson himself did, too. Anyone else over 45 remember the line they'd always say? "The United Way -- it brings out the best in all of us."

If players had their way most of the time, no one would ever know about donations. The ones who are genuine would do it and not tell a soul about it.
