Thanks to the playoff teams for their tsunami relief $$$$
New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft and the team's charitable foundation have raised $500,000 for the disaster relief. The Atlanta Falcons and owner Arthur Blank have raised $370,000.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is donating his playoff paycheck, worth $18,000, to the tsunami victims relief effort.
