    The pink stuff players wear are auctioned off post game with the proceeds going to support breast cancer research and prevention.

    If I were the commish, I'd make every home team wear pink uniforms in October.

    A portion of the proceeds from the sale of "pink gear" goes to the foundation. The foundation spends only a portion of the money raised to find a cure. If you want to help, make a donation. I've heard that as little as $.35 on a $10 purchase actually goes to the cure.

    Yep. And it doesn't go to a cure at all. It goes into public awareness programs (to promote screenings for example) and other fund raising campaigns.

    Its the circle of grift.

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    the well of cynicism which I find myself in just grew a little bit deeper.

    Like Guiness said, enough of this pink shit.

    Who gives a shit?

    This is a league whose leadership saw a woman get blasted unconscious and dragged around like a like a used rug...and decided to find a way to cover it up and hope it would blow over.

    You think they honestly care about anyone's cancerous tit?

    They care about money. And that is all.
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

    I agree with that comment.

    The NFL is one fat, greedy monopoly.
