A true Giant held his third annual turkey giveaway in the Craven County town of Vanceboro.

More than 300 turkeys were handed out to several hundred needy and elderly residents today at the Vanceboro Community Center.

Anthony Wright of the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants holds the giveaway every year, and his friends say it's a way for him to give back to the community.

Wright attended West Craven High School and played football for them.

I know Anthony Wright, Mr. Fabulous. He is a genuinely nice person. I know your pessimistic but not all athletes are jerks. He does a lot for the community that never sees press coverage. However, with your arrogance, you will never admit that you are wrong!

It does not matter how much you get paid, or what the grammar says, and Grammar Cop, I could care less if it says torkie's or turkys or turkeyzz. Anthony Wright done a great deed and is helping out poor people. If you want to complain about grammar, do not do this on the board, just speak from the mouth. For Mr. Fab, no offense but it sounds like you are jealous that he can afford everything that he wants and you can't. There are too many grumpy people. Give the man some credit people.

Mr. Fabulous.. I agree that NFL atheletes are overpaid, however he is helping out people that are less fortunate. I respect that. I suspect you were not active in sports as a kid, yet this is simply my opinion. Athletics teach kids many lessons in life. I encourage my children to be a part of team sports, but both are well aware that good grades are paramount. Thankfully, they handle both very good. Simply put, get over yourself as well, and stop being so negative. Merry Christmas
