Andre Johnson Showing Once Again That He Gets It

The best wide receiver in the NFL has treated underprivileged kids to a shopping spree at Toys R Us for the holidays for the last several years (e.g., last year's shopping spree can be found here), but his charitable acts don't get anywhere near the attention they should. Perhaps mainstream recognition would follow if he changed his name to Andre Ochenta.

Texans fans know how fortunate we are to be able to root for a guy like this. Here's hoping the rest of the country gets a glimpse of what Andre Johnson's all about.

For Andre. He does this every year.

We are blessed to have him in our team.

"Perhaps mainstream recognition would follow if he changed his name to Andre Ochenta."

LOL!!! So true. If he were a clown seeking attention, the national media woud be all over him.

Andre is way cool. Almost too cool for words.

It could be forgiven

if it was all in a 30 second span, I meant who hasn’t double/triple clicked a link to post, etc. But these occurred over a 17 minute interval.

Damn your black hearts...

In other news I just got back from an intimate luncheon where I got to meet none other than…..Rick Smith.

So you decided to take pictures instead.

And use that picture as the cover of your yearly christmas cards sent to friends and family members.

A little unorthodox, but it’s not too outlandish.

I’ll be expecting mines the next time I check my mailbox.

Ok so actually it was a guy named rick Smith who works in the Rockets organization in sales.

What??! I never said it was THAT Rick Smith!

I can't imagine that

they would be nicer than yours. So im not gonna feign too much interest on them.

Post REC'd

It’s too bad we didn’t have the REC function around when he did this last year.

Or the year before that, when Walmart tried to fuck Andre over.

If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?

by Shake on Dec 16, 2009 4:40 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I bet AJ could have broke the tackles from that Black Friday Walmart Stampede and still scored!

Sure!

And BFD would have parted even the Dead Sea! (or wait, was that the Red Sea??) and Andre (covering his eyes, lest they be burned from looking at them) would have scored and then gone into therapy….(BTW BFD, lose the tassles…)

Sorry for the confusion

That literally is one of the nicest things he could have done. I see that and I think I want to buy his jersey now.

NFL players like that are the best of the best, and it doesn’t hurt he is pretty damn good at football, too.

by dolphinsinbuffalo on Dec 17, 2009 2:21 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

he's ok.

He’s no Greg Camarillo, but we make him look alright.

Camarillo

I know we have rules for how we can refer to white WRs. My question is does an Italian count as white? Because I need to know if Camarillo is gritty and has great hands, or if I should make IROC-Z jokes about him.

Yay, sports.

by MDC on Dec 18, 2009 7:28 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

If you white, you're Wes Welker

Internet: Suck it, You “gritty” white slot receiver with “great hands”!
Greg Camarillo: Im not Wes Welker.
Internet: You white, then you Wes Welker
Chad Henne: You are white.
Greg Camarillo: That’s true, I am white.

by Jordann on Dec 18, 2009 9:17 AM CST up reply actions   1 recs

He's white

I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
