Brandon Jacobs Has Got Class

Young Brandon Jacobs fan gets his $3.36 back, plus bounce house time with his hero

Remember the adorable little Giants fan named Joe who sent the contents of his piggy bank to Brandon Jacobs because "money" was the reason that Jacobs had to leave the Giants? The young fellow got his money back this week, hand-delivered by Jacobs, along with a signed Giants helmet and a bouncy, memorable afternoon with his favorite football player.
Jacobs told Matt Barrow of the Sacramento Bee that he and his son took Joe and his brother out to a bounce house for the afternoon and had a blast.
"It was just us in the whole place and we were just going room to room - just bouncing and flipping all over the place, hitting each other with balls, sweating, our shirts filthy. We were just dirty, stinky boys, you know?"
Added Joe's mom, Julie:
"He told me he really wanted to get out there with the kids. He really wanted to enjoy it, and he did. It was amazing."
I love a story that ends with warm fuzzies all around. It was a sweet act by the child to send Jacobs his piggy bank money, and it was sweet of Jacobs to make sure the little guy knew that the gesture was appreciated. Jacobs is even pulling inspiration from the whole thing to get him motivated for the season.
"I'm at a point in my career when people have stopped believing in me and not believing that I can still play. But that's not the case. Joe believes in me, gave me a lot of confidence and a lot of want-to. And I'm ready to go. I can't wait until the season starts."
Well, if karma exists in that bounce house, Jacobs hopefully picked up enough today to improve on the 571 yards and 3.8 per carry he averaged last season. He won't get to do it in New York, like Joe wanted, but now maybe Joe can put his $3.36 towards the Sunday Ticket package and watch his hero in San Francisco.
MTW- There are a lot of people who play a game for a living, making millions of dollars that should look at this act of kindness and Thank God for what they have. Maybe stop acting like arrogant fools, who are so selfish, we, the fans to them seem as if we do not exist. Brandon, you are a hell of a guy for this one man. Good luck in San Francisco. To all of the LeBron James haters: get over it. Sorry, Ohio, but it takes more than one player. He is very generous to Akron, still, and in Miami, and gives a lot more than 3 bucks; so if he kicks your team's ass, it does not make him arrogant. It makes him good. The best player in the NBA according to Sir Charles Barkely.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
