Texans WR Andre Johnson drops 19K on toy shopping spree for charity. Jay Busbee, Yahoo! Sports
Johnson's Foundation, the Andre Johnson Charitable Foundation, funded the spree, in which 12 children selected by Child Protective Services had 80 seconds to fill up their carts with as many toys as they could. And oh, could they fill those carts.Never mind his on the field performance, which is great, the simple fact is Andre Johnson is one of the best men in the Texans organization period.
"You hear a minute and twenty seconds, and you don't think that's a long time, but you'd be surprised by what these kids can put into their buckets," Johnson said afterward. You can see his gargantuan receipt in the photo at right.
Amazingly, this didn't hit the radar for the Texans beat reporters at the former newspaper of record in Houston. Far more important to try and rehabilitate Bud Adam's reputation here I guess.
