This is good publicity for Zeke. He really needs it about now. Good job.

Why is it hypocrisy? Maybe Zeke is trying to be a better person. Has he made some bad decisions? Of course. Does he deserve kudos for doing something good? You bet.
I was referring to something completely different, it was in reference to some people’s comments that I’ve seen post in other threads.

My math says, 400,000 families wouldn't eat on 85k bucks. The message may be off.
It will help. The realistic goal of any individual act of charity isn't to eradicate a problem - hunger has been an issue forever and despite the efforts of untold numbers of people and organizations over that forever, it is still a problem. The collective efforts are to combat the problem. This act helped in that effort.

So? Would you like me to list all the other football players that have done similar charity work but manage not to assault people?

Again, if I drop a $1 in a Salvation Army kettle and then go knock someone out, try to fight someone else and bully a security guard after being suspended for domestic violence does that make me a good person? Does it negate all the bad things I’ve done?

I see how many negative articles you left out, would you like me to post several for you as a reminder or do you not care because he helped raise money?

Look at this guy, Greg Hardy, what a caring giving person. He deserves a pat on the back, just not as hard as the ones he gave his girlfriend.

Here’s another good guy, Joe Mixon. Forget that he knocked a girl out, he helped kids. Solid dude, he must be ok! Zeke has some good company!

we should start a complaint forum for those who just like to complain and whine about everything. misery loves company. that way they could all be together. i can't imagine dissing a guy for raising $85,000 to help people he doesn't personlly know. seems a nice thing to me.

I’m sure if I go through your post history there is plenty you complain about. IMOF, we can start with your comment directly above this you hypocrite. How man times have you complained about people complaining in this thread alone?

I’ll nominate you to start the thread, you seem to be pretty good at it.

I comment on posters like yourself who make no sense. I have been nothing but effusive in my praise of zeke for his most generous actions. If the only way you can draw attention to yourself is by spewing your hatred of zeke for all to read, expect to be criticized for your paltriness. have at it.

And if you want to start a thread about people complaining just be sure to include yourself. You should also start one on being a hypocrite, you seem very good at it. Why don’t you tell us how you feel about Marinelli, or do you only find complaining about current coaches and players unacceptable?

I couldn't stand marinelli. But if he raised $85,000 for charity i wouldn't vilify him for it. Just the opposite.

The point wasn’t whether or not you would like Marinelli for donating money, it was in reference to starting a thread for all the people that whine and complain which YOU suggested we start. Did you already forget about that?

Reading comprehension isn't your strong point, is it?

Cern NEVER said "for all the people that whine and complain". Of course we all do it on occasion. I challenge you to go back to his comment and find the key words.

Likewise. Thanks for the heads up, I think I’m going to start choking on zeke’s jock with his other fan boys so I can get more likes and hopefully win The Zone 2020 popularity contest.

Don't blame me for people not liking you. You achieve that status all on your own. Can you not figure out why?
