These football players scored a touchdown without setting foot on the field.
Four members of the William Paterson University football team in New Jersey each scored $50 gift cards after surveillance cameras captured them at a Wayne store paying for batteries and sunglasses, even though no employees were around.

Buddy's management got a call from police that there had been a break-in, but upon arrival, nothing was missing from the store, New 12 New Jersey reported.

Nice story!
Wow...kids doing the right thing, and NJ to “boot”!
Good for them!

These kids will, no doubt, have great futures ahead of them.

Glad they were rewarded. Great story.
Excellent. Nice to see the store rewarded them. :) Bet their business increases! :)
Congratulations for not being a thief!

FINALLY! A story to feel good about!

You didn’t commit petty theft!” It alsoshows the obsequious obsession our sick culture has with people who play a game in front of an audience that kids play at recess.if this wasn’t about a f***ing football team you couldn’t dare the media to care.
Did they calculate sales tax?
They are probably not NFL material.
Just the sentiment I posted on the other thread.
Still, good move by the players and very smart move by the store.
