Better Late Than Never

Last Saturday the Minnesota Vikings organization reversed its decision to withhold a week's salary from wide receiver Troy Williamson because Williamson missed a game while making funeral arrangements for his grandmother, the woman who raised him. Granted, it took a meeting between Vikings head coach Brad Childress and a veteran players council to rescind the initial boneheaded decision but better late than never. Williamson annunced that he would donate the one week's pay - $25,588.24 - to a charity to be determined in memory of his grandmother.
