A cause worth giving to ...

Alright, so you guys know how I'll pump my alma mater from time-to-time, and maybe more than that. And on a day like today -- when the greatest rivalry in all of sports is renewed again -- my mind is with my school.
But there's one tie-in here I don't think anyone will mind me mentioning. The wife of a Buckeye great, Stefanie Spielman, lost her battle with breast cancer this week. When the guys took the field in Ann Arbor today, they did so with stickers with the initials "SS" affixed to their helmets, and I think this is a great time for another reminder of all we can do to join in the fight that Stefanie and Chris Spielman devoted their lives to waging.
So here's a link to the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research. I, like I'm sure a lot of you, have had my life affected by this horrible condition, and my hope here is that a least a few of you check out what the Spielman family accomplished in this regard and decide to help where you can.
As I'm sure all of you remember, the NFL allowed players to wear pink in October for Breast Cancer Awareness month, and there are a lot of guys out there in the league who've done a lot to help. I can tell you that if you're looking for a place to do the same, the Spielman Fund's a good one. A guy I used to cover in Dallas, Cowboys linebacker Bradie James, has a nice spot to give if you're looking to chip in, too.
See you tomorrow from Foxborough.
