On another note I think it's commendable that the NFL is chipping in to help victims of this disaster out. I may not always like some of the things that go on in pro sports but the NFL is always there volunteerning and putting up money when things like this happens. May not seem like a lot of cash compared to what these teams make but at least they're doing something to help, very classy IMO.

Like millions around the globe, the NFL and its teams share the grief of survivors and are pitching in to assist the relief efforts in areas affected by last weekend's disaster.

Here are some examples of how NFL teams are supporting the efforts:

On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks will team with Northwest Medical Teams to collect monetary donations at all entrances at Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Donations from fans enable Northwest Medical Teams to send volunteers, medical supplies and support the efforts of local partners in the tsunami struck regions.

The Baltimore Ravens will donate $15,000 to the American Red Cross International Response Fund in support of the relief efforts, and will match up to an additional $10,000 of funds contributed by fans at this Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Volunteers will be collecting money at entrances from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

The New York Giants will partner with AmeriCares to conduct a monetary collection at Giants Stadium entrance gates prior to this Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Collected funds will be used by AmeriCares in their ongoing efforts to deliver antibiotics, analgesics, basic first aid supplies, and water treatment sachets to the tsunami-damaged areas of Sri Lanka, India and Indonesia.
