moondog Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 http://www.dallascowboys.com/news.cfm?id=D61E5850-C42F-6744-2B1862FB3115E929 Phillip Christian, a die-hard Cowboys fan from Sanger, Calif., spent the last three days trying to get his poster-size portrait of Roy Williams signed before or after a training camp practice. While Williams had missed Christian's efforts, the safety finally spotted the poster just before Thursday's practice. But instead of signing it, Williams asked if he could keep the poster. Christian hesitantly obliged in exchange for Williams' practice gloves after practice. Sure enough, Williams handed the gloves to Christian, and then signed them to complete the trade. The offseason is almost over and this is more unimportant news, I just thought it was really different to see a player ask a fan to take a poster of himself instead of signing it for him, even if he did give him his gloves. Anybody else find this wierd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeHateMe Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Actually, I'd be honored if I made a poster and it was so good that the player actually wanted to keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurd Cudins Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 My opinion is that the fan can always recreate the poster, but game or practice gear that is signed is MUCH harder to come by. I think there is an added value considering the gear was given to the fan directly by said player. :2cents: If I were the fan I would get another poster and go back to the next open practice and try to either get that poster signed or make another deal.

WeownU Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I pulled up to Mr. T once in Chicago on the freeway. Had his windows rolled down, jamming to some music, and get this, had a Mr. T air freshener haning from his rear veiw mirror. I'll never forget it.

MisterPinstripe Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Ok... I guess I was confused. I thought it was just a poster the dude wanted signed, so I did think it was weird. But if it is something the guy drew as it seems to imply, then its not weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I would give the poster to somebody else so he wouldn't know it was me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it is something the guy drew as it seems to imply, then its not weird. Yeah if it was a regular poster it may have been wierd LOL, but this was a piece of art drawn by someone at cowboyszone.com that he traded the gloves for.

NewCliche21 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Ohhhhhhh! I thought that this was a poster of himself. That would be really weird. Pretty classy of Williams, though. Maybe he's not such a bad guy off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins4481 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Oh dude made the poster? I thought it was one of those cut out posters of Roy Williams and when Roy Williams saw it, Roy Williams fell in love with Roy Williams and Roy Williams HAD to have the poster of Roy Williams.

kevinklein Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 This is nothing to criticize Roy for. It's actually pretty funny. It was probably a rare item Roy and never seen before and wanted to keep it. Not to mention the fan got practice used gloves from his favorite player, signed. I'd have probably done something similar if I was Roy. Honestly...it probably made the fan feel more connected than the team than he ever had before, having a personal experience like that. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacase Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Yeah the poster was one that fan had drawn, Roy traded him for the gloves. Then Roy asked if he had anymore and if he brought duplicates he would sign one set and keep the other. Sounds like the kid has some pretty good artistic talent. I know it was a great expereince for him. Roy is a class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
