He’s got a heart of green. Atlanta Falcons fullback Ovie Mughelli has a foundation with the  motto “Our future is green.” Despite pictures of the larger-than-life NFLer on his (frankly, very well-executed) site clubbing with tight-dressed ladies and holding some sort of liquor named “bling,” the guy manages to come across as a down-to-earth do-gooder. He has a football camp in his home state of South Carolina where he’s big on promoting self-esteem and environmental awareness; said camp is being “greened” via recycling bins and reusable totes (it’s a start!) and he buys 40 seats per game to award to worthy kids. Also, he posed with Captain Planet (having received the “Superhero for the Earth” award). And that’s nothing if not ballsy. Also, read his blog, despite the fact that he hasn’t updated it in a year. Choice quote: “I was kinda upset because it didn’t stop raining all night, and I didn’t bring an umbrella.”
