When he came out, the crowd on the other side didn't see him. So we were like "Hurry up and drive out, before the huge throng comes running over here!" There was a guy putting something in the back of DD's Cadilac SUV. It was wrapped in a blanket. So we asked DD what it was......it was the "mirror ball" trophy! LOL!

I enjoyed going down there when I lived in Green Bay... and I tried yearly to at least catch a practice or two.

Much like a game, I like to be able to watch the elements of the game I want to, not what the TV dictates to me.

Maybe someday I will return again, but honestly the lockouts bitter taste still looms too strong for me to spend an extra dime on the NFL game.

No offense to anyone who enjoys this kind of thing, but the idea of grown men asking other grown men for their autograph is not something I am comfortable with. I'd like to know how the majority of you feel about it?

I don't ask for autographs, but I'm fine with those that do. If that's something they enjoy...go for it. I don't understand why you would be uncomfortable with it. It would be like being uncomfortable with stamp collectors, fantasy football people, etc. - in my mind. But, to each his own.

He stole no one's opportunity in that session nor any other time.

I guess it's the "kid" in me that enjoys it. Plus, all the autographs i have have stories to go with them, which makes it fun to look at the photos/things i have in the off season.
LJ (my wife) went up with me to the last open practice Tuesday.
I had a picture i took of A.J. Hawk his first day as a Packer. He was signing, (for everyone) and i waited and told him the story of the photo and he signed it for me. When he handed it back to me, i realized my Sharpie marker pooped out on me, and asked him if he could sign it again....he said "Sure!" and used someone elses marker.....it still didn't work! LOL! So he says "I'm going to try it in a different spot on the photo" and gets a pretty good signature the third time. It was nice of him, and kind of funny too.
I could tell stories about all my autographs. Some pretty funny stuff.
I know not all enjoy or even understand it. But if you saw my collection, you'd probably enjoy seeing it. Plus, i TRY to get pictures that i myself have taken signed, which of course then makes them one of a kind. It's not always possible, but that's one of the things i try to do.

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.
