Brenjetsfan Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 MAWAE MOVEMENT 09/14/05 ON SEPTEMBER 17TH, WE WILL BE HOLDING A DRIVE THRU DROP OFF COLLECTION SITE FOR SUPPLIES TO BE SENT TO BATON ROUGE FOR VICTIMS OF HURRICANE KATRINA. MY WIFE AND I ARE ASKING PEOPLE FROM LONG ISLAND TO PLEASE STOP BY AND HELP WITH THE DONATIONS. WE WILL BE COLLECTING FOOD ITEMS, WATER, BABY ITEMS (DIAPERS, WIPES, FORMULA ETC) AND TOILETRIES AND HYGIENE ITEMS. PLEASE, NO CLOTHING, WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING CLOTHING DONATIONS AT THIS TIME. PLEASE COME TO ST PAULS FIELDHOUSE IN GARDEN CITY, NY SEPTEMBER 17 10am to 4 pm AND HELP WITH OUR EFFORTS Visit to Baton Rouge Shelters 09/14/05 This past Monday myself and 3 teammates (John Abraham, Oliver Celestin, and Jerald Sowell) flew to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to visit a few shelters that are housing Katrina victims. The only words I can use to describe it is heart breaking. People sleeping on top of people, communal showers and restrooms, babies next to elderly, teens next to adults, it's a very sad situation. My heart hurts for the people of my home state of Louisiana. We went down there to provide encouragement and moral support. What I came back with was a perspective on how really blessed me and my family are. I will continue to pray for the people affected by this disaster, and try my best to help when possible. Fan Mail Response 09/14/05 To those who have emailed me via this site, I am currently having difficulty respoding to the email. I apologize as I am waiting on the situation to get fixed. Aftermath of KC 09/14/05 What a disaster in KC!!!! I can't really say much except that thank God we are in week 2. It was a horrible game, both collectively and individually. Enough said!

Don't you think the cheap-shot artist should have been at Hofstra working on his shotgun snap? He could have donated supplies and money to help the victims instead of missing practice.

Jetheelz Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Exactly PatsFanTx... Helping your fellow man and visiting those who lost everything in the hurricane is way less important than football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Exactly PatsFanTx... Helping your fellow man and visiting those who lost everything in the hurricane is way less important than football. Then he should get a job at FEMA. I understand they are looking for a Director.

Jetfan13 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 now you are showing what a troll you really are...take notes people, this is the real Tx, he'd rather bash a Jet player doing the right thing then give him any credit FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING Im sorry for your family Tx, they must be real proud of you right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetheelz Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 He could have donated supplies and money to help the victims instead of missing practice. Well it's also his home state, so I can understand why he would do more than just donate money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatsFanTX Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 where did you go Tx? no response about calling you out on your cold heart? typical.... Not cold hearted at all. I applaud his efforts in helping out the victims, along with all his other charitable work that he has done. My point is, there are other ways (providing supplies or money) then taking off from practice after you had a game where he stunk up the joint.

joewilly Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 i dont want to sound like an spoiled brat cause i didnt go through that down there, but i have to agree with TEX... at the risk of sounding cold hearted as well, I agree that it probably wasn't neccessary for him to deliver the canned goods & diapers in person. perhaps kevin had personal issues & he felt it was more important to be there personally. as messageboard talk goes, lighten up 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetheelz Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah I didn't quote that correctly but my point in showing Tx's statement was that Mawae is from LA so I take it that he felt the need to go beyond the call of duty.

faba Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 There really should be no arguing that someone helping others for charity is good or the right thing to do in whatever form- people lives are more important than a football game!

Now that I realize he went to his hometown where family members are, fine take time off kevin. My family did not fly down here when my home was whacked by Ivan last year,yet they were a huge help to me without missing any work at home and I am no worse off cause they didn't make a personal visit to see me. as a matter of fact, I flew up there for a week. ain't that kinda how its supposed to go when your house gets whacked in the south, you go see family in the north?

joewilly Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 JW, glad to see you are still with us, I remember the devastation there in the Caymans, I am if S Fla.. thanks 13, a lot of folks are still lickin our wounds. sept 11 was our 1 yr anniversary. as I'm sure you know all too well, I really feel for those that will go month after month without power & water.Our chief minister really downplayed the devestation, thinking it was in this country's best interest & lots of people suffered more than they should've because of it. I had 10 generaters flown in for employees, & the gov't confiscated them for their own use. ahhhhhhh the memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffneycatch Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I really don't see this as a negative reference gaff, & I challenge you to find one on the 1st 2 pages of nfl talk. well, I'd argue that GGG's comment WAS in fact intended to cast negative aspersions on JI...but perhaps it would've been simpler if I'd said plain old references, of which there are many on this board. I don't come here a whole lot, but in the first 5 threads I opened there were half a dozen JI references at least. see exhibit one (from page 1 of NFL talk): My favorite part about Jet Nation [ Goto page: 1, 2, 3, 4 ] but anyway, I'm not over here to make enemies and I don't really have a dog in that fight, I just thought GGG's comment about JI's obsession with TX was slightly absurd in light of what seems to be a semi-obsession with JI over here. like I said, I really don't spend a whole lot of time over here, but I decided I needed a change because all the stupidity and juvenile BS was over there was making me cranky. it DOES get to be too much sometimes. so I came here looking for some actual Jets football talk -- I know there are some very good posters over here....I just wish there were MORE here overall. 150 people are bound to have and/or be able to track down more stuff than 15. problem is, if 80 percent of that 150 haven't finished 7th grade, you've got a problem. it becomes a bit difficult to determine where is the better place to find well-thought out football opinions and Jets info. and that -- for the most part -- is what I come to these boards for. so, I don't really know where that leaves me -- I'm in limbo I guess.

joewilly Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 glad you came over gaff, it seems folks here can find humor in anything & ji does get in the line of fire I suppose at times,so does the pope, mother theresa, even the virgin connie swail I don't think theres any malicious intent though, now can we please get back to bashing tx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
