Last week, when the Kansas City Chiefs donated $35,000 to the Joplin, Missouri tornado relief efforts, some of you wondered whether the St. Louis Rams would do the same.

Others of you wondered why a billion-dollar business like the Chiefs was coughing up only $35,000.

As it turns out, the Rams will donate $25,000. The team also will match contributions from its employees.

And, again, some of you may wonder why a billion-dollar business is giving only $25,000.
