Tempest Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 http://sports.yahoo....-224310864.html You're 6 years old, and you love football. Specifically, you love the New York Giants and their big, bruising running back Brandon Jacobs. One day, you hear that Brandon Jacobs isn't playing for the Giants anymore; he's playing for some other team that wears different colors in some other place way far away. You ask your mother to explain, and she tells you that the Giants just don't have enough money to keep Brandon Jacobs. So you think to yourself, "Oh? Is that it? Money? All that we need to fix this is money? I have money! I'll send it to Brandon Jacobs and everything will be fine! Here! Here's money! All better!" And this arrived in Brandon Jacobs' mailbox: Jacobs shared the image on Tuesday via Twitter, saying that he cried and is considering paying the little fella a surprise visit. I hope he does. Somehow, the $3.36 failed to void an NFL contract and get Jacobs back with the Giants. He remains a 49er, but hopefully, young Joseph has found a way to heal his broken little heart.

Allstarjim Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Maybe I'm jaded, but the mom is the one who sent the letter and included his allowance money! I realize it's the kid's idea, but I'm a little skeptical about this mom's intentions with the letter. OK... Now that I got that off my chest, I have to say that it's a very heart warming story, er, if you have a heart, unlike me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GorillaNJ Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I have had a hard time explaining to my two boys 8 & 7 that Jacobs is no longer on the Giants, and why. Maybe Jacobs can send me some of his allouance to give to my kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osi724dasack Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 What a cheap family. Penny's? Really? Nice gesture but they could have just sent a $5 dollar bill. Jacobs would appreciate it more since it's just one bill and it's less messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
