The image of Felix Wright dumping Beebe on his head will forever be burned into my brain

Here’s how to understand anti-bullying campaigns:

They give kids being bullied the means to speak up, and they are just as much about educating the faculty of schools as the kids so that when the bullied kids DO speak up something is done to protect them.

As big as he is now I highly doubt whoever was bullying him before would have the testicular fortitude to do it today

Back in the 90′s the Buffalo Bills played an exhibition game at Williams-Bryce stadium in Columbia, SC. My brother somehow ended up sitting next to Jim Kelly’s brother during the game and somehow made it into the locker room afterwards. He said he witnessed this guy getting all the Bills to sign a football to auction off at his bar to help raise money for a local kid’s chemotherapy treatment. All of the Bils gave their signature….except Don Beebe. He refused. Ever since then, Don Beebe is just known as DB in the rare times he’s mentioned in our circle.

I disagree about the ineffectiveness of anti-bullying campaigns. The thing is this – they’re not designed to convince bullies. I agree that these campaigns don’t really work on them. They sometimes do, though, work on bystanders, and that’s where they pay off. They aren’t game-changers, but they’re culture changers, and if some wealthy athlete wants to bankroll one, I’m all for it.

Good for him. Giants could use some Oline depth and have a great Oline coach.

Garrett started an anti-bullying campaign. By going back to his high school and stuffing all the bullies in their own lockers. With their shorts pulled up over their shoulders. It’s been effective so far.

Woot! Chadron State in western Nebraska. Woodhead didn’t have any troubles adjusting and many every single team underestimated him for being too small. Best of luck to this kid.

I doubt he is there at the 18th pick but if he is Dallas better call his name!

Good for him. Hope he has a successful career. Would be a heck of a way to stick it to the losers who picked on him at his high school reunion.

Danny Woodhead, RB for the Pats, succesfully made the transition from Chadron State to the NFL. Great 3rd down and change of pace back for the Pats.

I never understood the ‘anti-bullying’ campaigns. They fall on deaf ears. No one hears someone say ‘bullying people is bad! you shouldn’t do it!’ and goes ‘OHHHHHHH! I had no idea I was being hurtful!’.

Being hurtful is the whole point. It makes the other person feel bigger for doing it.
