Update? Eventually
I know it's been forever since I posted an update.. Well, this isn't that post.
I happen to have Kurt Warner on a few of my Fantasy Football teams as my QB. I saw an article today that made me want to cheer for him even more.. it began:
Warner Sets Example for His Family and the Cardinals
By KAREN CROUSE
TYSONS CORNER, Va. - The restaurant game before an away game is one of Kurt Warner’s favorites, a fringe benefit of being a well-paid football player that never gets old.
At dinner, Warner and his wife, Brenda, will sit back and watch as one or more of their seven children scan the dining area like a quarterback going through his progressions on the field.
Once they target a table, Warner, the Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback, quietly adds that dinner tab to his own. At a steakhouse here last Saturday, a family of four received a free meal without knowing the identity of their benefactor.
The Warners cooked up the idea many years ago, after their food-stamp-cashing days were behind them and Warner had become the toast of St. Louis by leading the Rams to victory in the 2000 Super Bowl.
They thought it would be a playful way of instilling in their children the joy of giving. “We want our kids to grow up knowing that because of football we are so blessed,” Warner said Wednesday. He added: “We never want them to lose sight of what it’s really about. Our circumstances are not the most important thing. It’s what we do with those circumstances.”

When a player was hurt during Sunday's game, it was Warner who led the group of players from both teams in a prayer.. "I can't get it out of my mind," Warner said. "I just told him I love him and I'll be praying for him. I just want to see him walk into the facility again."
To me he seems like a genuinely nice, good person. Anyhow, it's nice to have a reason to cheer for a player..
