It’s not a pissing match. I’m not even arguing with Kevin. even if he thinks I am.
I see them as people as well. I just can’t understand why, when they become “stars”, they suddenly forget us “little people”. When Favre first got to Green Bay, he took the time to sign for fans. Once he hit the big time, he disappeared. But he would show up at card shows to sign for $100 a pop (or more)each. It priced guys like me out, as I didn’t have that kind of money.
I see Kevin’s point.
He might be right.
He might not be. Maybe I’m totally wrong. Maybe I’m just trying to figure out why so many of them lose touch with the people.
I can only say what I have experienced, and try to make sense of it.

I think some of them think their “you-know- what” doesn’t stink.
Ahman Green? Exact opposite. I never saw him not take a few minutes to sign for people.
The only money point I was trying to make (maybe not well) is that, if someone sells something they sign, it won’t take food out of their families mouths, or make it so they can’t pay their rent. They lose nothing, and most likely would make some fans day. Someone that may have spent money and vacation time to spend a day watching practice. I can’t tell you how many out of state license plates I have seen at a practice.

They should give everybody tons of autographs to flood the market so the value is minimal - problem solved!😕 😕 😝

Yes, there are many good guys. I realize that. That is why I brought up Green. Not all of them are bad.
William Henderson was another great guy. DD was another.

Don't forget these stars don't only deal with adoring fans. Most of them deal with hecklers constantly or have bullshit stories written about them in the media. That would certainly turn me off from the people too. Might just ruin the whole thing.
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Zero2Cool (5m) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (18m) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
beast (25m) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?
Zero2Cool (1h) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

TheKanataThrilla (26-Apr) : Sam Howell to Vikings...guess no Aaron

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : NO NO NO NO NO NO!!1 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
