Veteran NFL quarterback, and Christian, Randall Cunningham was recently cut from the Minnesota Vikings (and has been signed by the Dallas Cowboys). He left behind a good impression in Minnesota. After Cunningham was cut, sports writer Tom Powers wrote in the St. Paul Pioneer Press:

Virtually all professional athletes take extraordinary measures to keep from coming in contact with their adoring public…Except for Randall Cunningham.

Whenever the Vikings were on the road, Cunningham usually could be found sitting in the hotel coffee shop…. He'd have breakfast with anyone who stopped by. Fans approached timidly and wound up sharing a sandwich with an NFL star. Instead of running with the pack, Cunningham preferred the company of ordinary stiffs….

Randall inevitably would get deep into the Scriptures with his dining companions. Even the most hard-boiled-looking lug would get an earful of Randall's testimony. But they never seemed to mind.…

I have received numerous e-mails from people who wanted to share the random acts of kindness they saw performed by Randall.

One father wrote about how his daughter had made a sign for Cunningham and waited by the Dome exit after a game, hoping he would see it. He didn't. Not at first, anyway. In the crush of back-slappers and autograph-seekers, the girl couldn't get close enough.

But as Cunningham drove off, he apparently glanced in his rear view mirror and saw her standing there dejectedly. He backed up, waved her over to the car and said: "Would you like me to sign that for you?''
