Donald Driver rewards victim of softball cleat theft with special gift package

In case you were wondering (and you shouldn't be, if you know his life story), Green Bay Packers receiver Donald Driver is the epitome of a class act.

When he found out that young Stephen Wagner had the cleat that Driver threw into the stands following the Packers' charity softball game on Sunday stolen right out of his hands, he went on a mission to connect with the boy.

Wagner had the cleat stolen by a reprehensible person named Robyn Ereth, who actually had the temerity to brag about the get on her Facebook page before having to take said page down when she encountered a hail of well-deserved Internet abuse.

Meanwhile, Driver was using Twitter to set things right.

...before having to take said page down when she encountered a hail of well-deserved Internet abuse."

And I hope Facebook banned her permanently, too.

But I wouldn't refer to anyone who records and displays their illegal activities as "reprehensible." Suicidally stupid, yes. But not "reprehensible."

she is sorry for what she did and called to apologize to the family. They are in small towns in the area I grew up in. Apparently alcohol was involved ...

I hope the Packers cut him or something because it is a weird feeling to like someone on their team.
