Chris Wilson, Rocky McIntosh Doodle For Charity

RockyMcIntosh
A charitable organization called Neurofibromatosis, Inc. is running their third annual National Doodle Day auction, which raises funds to help them provide support to individuals and families affected by neurofibromatosis. (Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to form on the nerves. If you, like me, are a bit of a hypochondriac, it sounds absolutely terrifying.)

Anyhow, for this auction, various celebrities have dashed off quick doodles which are being auctioned off on eBay. It sounds unremarkable when described like that, but the roster of artists actually has some big names on it, including a few DC and Baltimore-area celebrities, sports and otherwise: Capitals head coach Bruce Boudreau, Baltimore Orioles great Cal Ripken, Jr., Chef Duff from Ace of Cakes, Adam Dunn of the Washington Nationals ... and Rocky McIntosh and Chris Wilson of your Washington Redskins.

"I was at the draft day party, and they said it was for charity," Wilson told me. "That's my Running Man character. Back in high school, that was kind of my logo. I used to draw it on my shoes when I played basketball. Jordan had his Jumpman, I had my Running Man."

Bids are still fairly low on Wilson and McIntosh, so it's a good way to acquire an interesting piece of Redskins memorabilia while helping a worthy cause. (Chef Duff, meanwhile, is a much bigger draw than even I would have expected, and I'm a fan of his show who used to live a few blocks away from his bakery. Go figure.)

Wilson and McIntosh and all the rest join an impressive roster of past doodlers, including Cindy Crawford, a pre-Presidential Barack Obama, Scarlett Johansson, and the girl who played Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years. None of their doodles, though, can hold a candle to the one created by Food Network personality and general threat to public health Paula Deen.

Even Deen's doodles love pie and butter, y'all! Chris Wilson's Running Man would have to do some serious mountaineering to burn off the pounds that Deen's doodle is pushing.
