Awesome! Many people in his position would be too busy pounding them down for the upcoming DUI getting home, but he's probably ruining an expensive suit changing a woman's tire. Outstanding.

Yep very awesome! Just when you think you never hear anything good about athletes for the most part, you hear something like this and it restores a little bit of faith (for me at least) in mankind again.

Why couldn't they change their own tire? :P I'm not really kidding. Why would anyone go out in a car without knowing how to change a tire?

Props to him. You hear a few stories about pro athletes doing goo things for their fans, their alum, or just any person on the street. It's just unfortunate that when an athlete does something bad the media decides to exert all of their time into that, and the good deeds are often left unnoticed.
