    Not much sports news. A lot of this goes under the radar and no one knows how much is really donated annually or how much time is spent. Good stuff and hopefuly lots will benefit from it.

    haha, cheap indeed.</p>

    when you're donating, donate at least 10 mill. that's how you get more media attention.</p>

    Still good what VC did. [​IMG]</p>

    He's getting divorced, those aren't cheap. Funny tidbit, went to high school with a girl who had twins, Chris Gatling's twins back in 1995. One boy one girl. boy is bipolar, both are tall. Gat did whatever he was legally bound to do, child support and more, visited kids, every summer, took them on shopping sprees. Got a nice house in town where I grew up. When Gatling's career expired in Europe, everything stopped, child support, got a court order to sell the house, kids and mom had 14 days to move,since Gat's name was on the house, the money went into his account and that was the last anyone has heard from him. Supposedly he's in Texas somewhere.

    Just to clarify.....Gatling did NOT get a court order to sell the house......he sold it against a court order. Your info is a little off.....</p>
