So there probably won't be many posts in this thread, but here's a place for the rare occasion that an NFL player actually does something good.

Tony Gonzalez saves a guy from choking.
how can nobody in a restaurant know what to do when somebody chokes? it should be mandatory training, especially for waitstaff.
Philadelphians have a lot more familiarity with choking than other folks. Met fans might be catching up, though.

You'd think that. My Dad has been in the restaurant business for 35 years, and my step Mom is a registered nurse. I was having dinner with them New Years eve a few years back when a piece of steak got lodged in my throat. I didn't panic and took a swig of beer hoping to wash it down. Didn't work, so I rose to my feet and put my hands around my neck which is the universal sign for choking. They all just stood there dumbfounded and watched me. Finally I leaned over and coughed it up. Beer was even coming out my nose because the piece was lodged in there so bad. Moral of the story: Don't choke on food
Like SD said, its really weird when someone is choking in a restaurant. We were at a Sushi place, and some guy yelled, we stood up and saw one guy behind the guy choking, we didnt know if it was a fight or a heart attack. Ends up the guy choked on a sushi roll, but luckily had a paramedic sitting at the table next to him.

By the way....this thread will most likely not be updated with another example for about a year.

Have you considered that they simply chose not to help?

No, but I am willing to learn.
Sounds like you're already well on your way.
I love it when we banter like this.

Great story. Terrible timing. I'll come back to it in a few weeks and appreciate it a lot more.
oh yeah the whole "farg dallas" thing right?
I don't give a shtein about Dallas. Just happens to be the team the Eagles are playing this week and I prefer to despise the opposing team and its players in the days leading up to a game. Makes it more enjoyable to root against them. But you knew that.

My guess is TO jizz.
Of course he stopped and fixed the flat for nothing. He's half mexican, its in their DNA.

Wilson matches $100,000 food drive gift
By Mark Gaughan NEWS SPORTS REPORTER
Updated: 09/13/08 6:43 AM
David and Myra Conley discovered on the spur of the moment that Buffalo Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. is a man of his word during Sunday's season opener against Seattle.
The Bills held their annual Fan Food Drive at Ralph Wilson Stadium to benefit the Food Bank of Western New York. Wilson annually matches all cash donations made at the stadium. Typically, those donations amount to about $12,000.
The Conleys, who live in East Amherst, surprised the Bills with a check for $100,000.
Conley owns Medlab Inc., a medical testing company in Cheektowaga. He had been thinking about donating to the Food Bank for several years, since he saw a news report that showed Wilson's wife, Mary, on a forklift helping the charity distribute goods.
"My father-in-law, Dick Sebian, is 84 years old, and since he retired he has been working for 22 years as a volunteer at the St. Vincent de Paul soup kitchen on Main Street," Conley said. "He told me that this year, they're doing twice the meals served that they were doing a year ago.
"So I heard on the news that Mr. Wilson was matching all the money that's being collected. And I wondered, would he give $100,000? He might cap it. He would have that right."
The Conleys showed up at the stadium about 10 minutes after the opening kickoff to drop off their check. They were ushered into the Bills' administration building. Food Bank officials needed to check if Wilson would match.
"This is where it gets complicated," Conley said. "Ralph's policy is he's never to be interfered with during Bills games. It's an absolute no-no."
Mary Wilson popped the question early in the second quarter, Conley said, and Wilson insisted on meeting the Conleys in his suite.
"He couldn't have been more charming," Conley said. "After the game I spoke to him for a pretty long time and I thanked him for his 40-plus years of service to Western New York. . . . He told me he was so pleased with the matching donation. He told me he loves Buffalo because the people are so down to earth."
Counting the donations of the Conleys and Wilsons, the Fan Food Drive collected a record total of $219,178.08, in addition to donations of 6,287 pounds of food. "I said, 'Ralph, next year are you going to cap it?' " Conley said. "He said, 'No, I'm not.' I said, 'Ralph, you don't know me. When you tell me it's not capped for next year, I'm asking you to rethink it.' He said, 'No cap for next year.' I said, 'I'll see you next year.' "
