Falcon Fanatic Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 With all the bickering and negativity we have on these boards sometimes it is good to read about the classy players we have here. I met Corey Peters in Chattanooga last year and the young man is the epitome of a great guy. He is the kind of player that makes you proud to support this team. I hope he has a monster year as he is one of my favorite players. Atlanta Falcons: Corey Peters to help childhood cancer group9:19 am June 27, 2012, by D.

Tuggle'2 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I thought was pretty cool too. My father has been the President for the ACS ( American Cancer Society ) in northwest Florida for sometime. I have been a long time volunteer with him setting up things like Relay for Life and other functions. I lost several family members to cancer in one way or another and am always happy to help. NFC South links: Saints greatest unknown This is another feel good story. Palmer is in Serbia. I backpacked through there once upon a time and was extremely saddened. Its good to see our team out trying to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
