NFL Player Takes At-Risk Kids on Toys R Us Spree A group of 8-16 year old kids from family protective services in the Houston area were taken to a local Toys R Us by Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson and given 80 seconds to fill an empty shopping cart with any toy they wanted, bought by him as Christmas presents. They also got a videogame system and some games on top of that. The bill was $16,266.26. Johnson has done this for eight straight years. The 80-second-spree idea was his uncles. His reaction after the first year: Wow, I didnt think they could grab that much stuff in that amount of time. But the kids had better been at the right department before the clock started. How crappy would it be to be a 12 year old boy and accidentally make a wrong turn down the My Little Pony aisle? This is a cool thing for Andre Johnson to do. Those kids will remember it forever. 80 seconds of mayhem and the kids are still better behaved during it than Black Friday shoppers. blog.chron/ultimatetexans/2014/12/texans-andre-johnson-gives-away-16000-in-toys-at-annual-christmas-event/#28867101=0
