 Lately in the headlines you hear a lot about negative news regarding NFL players. So it was totally refreshing to attend the Dallas Cowboys Brandon Carr charity event at Strikz bowling lanes in Frisco, Saturday. Fans got a chance to meet and bowl with at least a dozen players. I even met an air force veteran who served 3 tours in Afghanistan, and really enjoyed the chance to meet his favorite team. Players were given a chance to meet fans, sign autographs and take pictures. And of course let's not forget bowling! Players were given a chance to meet fans, sign autographs and take pictures. And of course let's not forget bowling! Founder, Brandon Carr talked in great length about how sports changed his life, and the importance of being a good role model and giving back to the community.
You often here athletes say, "I'm not a role model, I just play sports,"but not Carr. The other players also agreeing with the sentiments expressed. But the highlight of the evening was listening to Carr talk about his charity. It was really touching to hear him say that he will continue to use his NFL career as a platform to be a positive role model who motivates kids and at risk youth. Thanks @ninazavalagroup for inviting me & @chuck_wells @dallascowboys Players legendary Charles Haley, Jj Wilcox, Brandon Carr, Dwayne Harris, Tyler Patmon, Sterling Moore, Anthony Hitchens, Tyrone Crawford, Jakar Hamilton.
