Forgiveness — and then some

The New York Times about Jerome McDougle, the Giants’ defensive end who works with troubled youth.

McDougle’s efforts to help youngsters would be admirable but not remarkable if McDougle hadn’t been shot by in 2005 by the same type of kids he’s trying to help.

“I want to make a difference,” McDougle told LaPointe. “I had some problems when I was young. I really know how it feels to be going down that path. It’s just like a spiral, but you can break it.”
