A nice deed by Vince Young

Unfortunately, a lot of players explicitly state that they do not want any media coverage of their good deeds. Why? I don't really know. But there were multiple times when I had wanted to tell a good story and was told by the player, the player's agent, the player's publicist, etc. that was going to fly. I mean I think I understand why, in many cases. It's because they don't want the beneficiary of the good deed to think they were all just part of some public relations stunt.

True, but the media doesn't have to get a quote from the Player or Publicist to let folks know what these guys are doing. Self-promotion isn't required, just a journalist (and media outlet) wanting to show the brighter side of life. Unfortunately there aren't too many of those around these days.

Has nothing to do with getting a quote from them. They just don't want it covered at all, and so often times no one knows about it until after the fact.
