The Cowboy Formerly Known As Number 31

Yes, of course we are referring to the player the media loves to bash, Roy Williams.

For all the negativity Williams seems to get these days, he hasn't allowed it to bring him down one bit. It's as if he really is the "Man of Steel", Superman. Well it turns out that he's actually a big softy... at least when it comes to honoring moms on Mothers Day.

Sports Illustrated ran a great piece that will explain in greater detail what I mean...

Last Mother's Day, 12 single moms from the Dallas area thought they were attending a health fair at the headquarters of Cowboys safety Roy Williams' foundation when two stretch Hummer limos pulled up and shuttled them to a posh mall. There they were greeted by Williams who handed out bouquets of flowers before they were treated to new outfits, shoes and makeovers.

This year Williams is planning something bigger with a spa day, where a group of women will be pampered with manicures and massages while their kids will be having fun at a go-kart racing track.

"Sometimes I can go a little crazy, but it just makes me so happy to see their faces," says Williams. "You have to respect the moms for Mother's Day."

You really have to love a player like Williams who is as selfless and as giving as you can get. It's something you rarely find these days in sports and illustrates just how much character Roy has. Say what you will about his decline in the field last season, his ability off the field is still among the best in the game.

Everyone is so willing to give second chances to the worst characters the NFL has to offer, but are so reluctant to give a second chance to great human beings like Roy Williams. He deserves better from Cowboys fans and that's where I'll leave it.

So in the spirit of the Roy Williams Foundation, we at Lone Star Struck wish all of you moms out there a very Happy Mothers Day!

Thank you for sharing this with us Joe. No matter what Roy does on the field I will ALWAYS respect him for what he has done off the field.

I hope this year he has a COMEBACK year and showsup everyone who has bashed him in the last 2 years.

Happy Mothers Day Everyone!

Roy has been making the rounds on talk shows raising money for single moms, having been inspired by his own sister's struggles. Regardless of his current status with The Cowboys, I salute him.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's that I know.

I would like to extend a special greeting and salute to all the single moms out there.

Roy is the man and I have much respect for him! I also would like to wish all Moms out there a very Happy Mothers Day! Good blog btw
