Dwight Freeney will drive your kid to school... in a limo

by Brad Wells on Oct 27, 2009 1:20 PM EDT in Horse Bucket

When Dwight Freeney is not feasting on quarterbacks every Sunday (seven straight games with a sack!), or using his super human healing powers to recover from a strained quad, he's likely driving someone's kid to school in a limo.

In all seriousness, this is one of those stories that makes you respect Dwight Freeney, the man.

Defensive end Dwight Freeney spent Tuesday morning working with students at Indianapolis Public School No. 63, in the 1100 block of North Belmont Avenue, on the city's west side.
Jareal Smith was the local winner of NFL Take a Player to School day, a contest sponsored by the league and JCPenney.

Freeney went to Smith's home to pick the boy up for a limousine ride to school.

And no, this post was not sponsored by JC Penny, the NFL's Take a Player to School Day contest, or anything like that. This post was sponsored by the Dwight Freeney Is One Cool Dude Fan Club. We're currently open to new members.

D Free is a classy dude.

He deserves another Super Bowl ring. Who’s with me?

I can't say yes fast or emphatically enough to that!

How can you not love a team that does this?

I love Dwight Freeney, I'm in.

I wear his T-shirt to sleep.

so I could enter the contest.

That sounded warped, I meant Borrow someone's kid for a day.

Indy Lori,

I hear the FBI is really interested in you as of late. Any idea why?

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: This video right here has produced one of my favorite lines ever. It was so awesome that there has been 2 sequels. One where you must put a banana in your ear, and another where you must grab their tongues. Purely awesome.

So this is the reason to have kids?

But I dunno… sounds like the “kid” gets to hang out with Freeney and not me. I would end up being jealous of the kid, which would lead to resentment. And then years later the kid would be all “why didn’t you love me!” and I would be all “you never introduced me to Freeney!”

Go Colts!

Sounds like a perfectly normal dysfunctional family!

Probably more fun

Than driving around a bunch of gold diggers they way he did before. Kids are probably a lot more fun to be with.

It is sad though that you are jealous of kids winning such a contest.

returned to the game

but then left again as a precaution since it was a blowout

Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.

same as dre.

they had to hide dude’s helmet from him…. he went down in the fourth after spitting up blood. he had taken a shot to the back earlier in the game, and kept it secret. should be good to go this week.
