Favre signed for me when he came off the practice field in 1993. Of course that was before he became a big "star".
After that, i didn't see him sign for anyone.....adults or kids. When he came out or went into the locker room, he would wave to the people, but wouldn't sign.
I myself can't see why a player, i don't care who he is, can't take 10 minutes out a day to sign a few things. Even if some jerk just wants to sell it, how does that hurt him? He (not just Favre) makes a boat load of money, so who cares if someone makes a few bucks?
I have NEVER sold any of my autographs. Not ONE. They are for me.
I CAN see a player refusing to sign more then one item per person. Because that shows that the person is just looking to sell it.
It's the FANS that make the players rich. If we didn't watch them, they couldn't demand the huge amounts of money they make.
JMO of course.

Stuff like this makes me respect Donald Driver even more. I think most of us see Driver as a big star. He's someone who's consistently good, dependable, catches passes, goes up the middle when other WRs are afraid to make those catches, tough as nails, never misses a game. Yet, he stops to sign (as you've all said, I'm in California but I trust your words).
Favre seems to have let fame turn him into a prima donna. Driver is still Driver. Got to love that.
