Thanks for sharing that. Very nice thing that Cole did, I'm even a bigger fan of his now.

Hard to believe that Cole is a veteran given that it seems like just yesterday that he was drafted. He's a good man, respected by all. Cole has had to hear the comments about him being "soft", etc during his career. Nothing could be further from the truth. He is a fierce competitor and those who have played with him will tell you some of the comments could not be further from the truth. He was that respected as a teammate.

It doesn't surprise me to hear this given that he has put the same energy and drive into his foundation work as he has put into his playing career.

Good on Cole.

Great move but why would they be building a 32,000 sq ft home? That’s insane.

LET ME SEE...my house is a little over 2,000 sf living area.
So the monstrosity below is about equal or larger than 16 of my modest, little houses, depending on its non living areas. The steep attic roofs in the main portion of the "house" could "house" my "house".

Never understood what my grandfather meant when he told me "you can by brains for two bits". Should have been slinging baseballs more than equations.
