Yardbarker helps Ronnie Lott help kids

Ronnie Lott will knock you into next week. Unless you're a kid in need. That's because the hardest-hitting defensive back in the history of the NFL has a soft side, too. Ronnie Lott's charity (All Stars Helping Kids) works to provide a safe learning environment for underprivileged children, and tonight ASHK is holding a charity event in San Francisco. Tickets are still available, and a lot of great athletes will attend: Jerry Rice, Marcus Allen, Michael Irvin, Ted Hendricks, Warren Moon, Tim Brown, Charles Haley, Brent Jones, Eric Davis, Keena Turner, Darren McFadden, Nnamdi Asomugha, Justin Forsett, Thomas Williams, Justin Fargas, Joe Nedney, Adimchinobe Echemandu, Joe Alston and Lavelle Hawkins. Visit the link for tickets ($250). The event is in San Francisco, and it's a HOF fantasy draft. Basically, all of the Hall of Famers I just mentioned will be competing all season long in a fantasy football league hosted by Fox Sports. If you can't attend, no worries. The Yard will be there. We'll be helping facilitate the event, and we'll capture some exclusive footage to share with the Yard throughout the season. If you want to stay up to date, add this profile as a Favorite so you'll get updates in your News Feed. Thanks to Ronnie Lott and all of the other athletes who are participating. We're proud to be involved with Ronnie off the field, because y'all know we wouldn't stand a chance with him on the field. The guy is a beast and a legend, the greatest off all-time at his trade. The guy who Roy Williams wishes he was. But that's another story for another time. Join us at the event if you can, and if you can't, stay tuned in the Yard for updates from Ronnie and his football friends. - Dewey
