Sporting News, The,  July 22, 2005  by Stephen Lake,  Jerry Chaplin,  Alyssa Buuck,  Galen Tinnell,  Crystal Watkins,  Tom Roth

'In this day of extravagant salaries and major excess, it was refreshing and inspiring to read how the Good Guys (TSN, July 8) are giving so generously to the sick and the needy.--Stephen Lake, Sydney, Nova Scotia

* I was completing my syllabus for the college course I teach (Life Lessons in Sport) when your Good Guys issue hit my desk. Our class will utilize this article, which I expect will be a tremendous resource for the students as they learn about the life lessons that participation in sports teaches. Thanks for highlighting the athletes who are doing the good and right thing.--Jerry Chaplin, Mechanicsburg, Pa.

* You left out one key Good Guy: Brett Favre. The guy donates tons to charities every year.--Alyssa Buuck, Detroit

* Thanks for the article on Warrick Dunn and the other athletes who donate their time and money to so many great causes. They are all better human beings than athletes.--Galen Tinnell, West Chester, Pa.

* It was so great to see the Good Guys article. A lot of the images we have of professional athletes are as greedy, spoiled and self-centered individuals. Reading about these players who are really trying to make a difference in people's lives was absolutely eye-opening and heartwarming.--Crystal Watkins, Henderson, N.C.

* Overpaid athletes donate 5 percent of their bloated salaries to charity and they're considered philanthropists?--Tom Roth, Dayton, Ohio
