With a possibility of no NFL season next year, the players need to do something with their spare time. According to the article here, the football have some pretty different ideas. 10 players, including Roy Williams, Adrian Peterson, and Santonio Holmes, spent a week in Uganda doing a variety of different tasks. They helped to dig water wells at schools, helped to fit hearing aids, and also passed out "mislabeled" super bowl championship shirts that were made if the Jets had won. I think it is really cool that they are spending their time helping others. I also found it interesting that they actually got to hand out the shirts. I had already know that the shirts were given to poorer countries, but I did not know that on occasion actual players distribute the shirts. Chad Ochocinco is staying in shape by spending his time on the reserve team for a soccer club in Kansas city. He is very excited that he made it on the squad, and he says he will be in great shape, because soccer is a lot longer time period, without the breaks in between. His action is not as great as going to Uganda, but it's always good to stay in shape. Then, with an entirely unproductive story, is Dez Bryant. Now Dez Bryant is one of my favorite players as far as skills go, but as an NFL player, he needs to make sure he behaves well in public, which is the opposite of what he did. In a Florida mall, Dez Bryant and his "posse" had been kicked out after violating the dress code by having his pants too low. He was asked to pull up his pants, but being who he is, he argued with the security, and then was kicked out of the mall.
