Slingin33 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I see the Landry signing, but people would be foolish to think that he is actually going to show. I thought he got better with the last couple. Besides, if this is something the Redskins are putting on, I will bet they make sure he gets there. I am sure they know his history.:point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 The Sellars signing went well. I only waited in line for like 15 minutes, much better than the 2 1/2 hours for the Campbell signing at CC a few months ago. He seemed like a pretty cool guy.

I am sure they know his history.:point2sky Didn't Sean Taylor dodge a couple of the Free sigings that the Redskins put on at Montgomery Mall? He may have gotten better in some instances, but from where I live and where the signing is, it isn't worth it to chance it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been to these free signings, but I am sure that they are really fun. I would love to go to the DeAngelo Hall one out at the Leesburg Outlets.

mcarey032 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Anyone going to the D. Hall signing? I would really like to get a redskins picture signed. If anyone is going please let me know, so that I could work something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKOALSKIN Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Wow!!! Only 30 people at a free signing? You could have done half your Christmas shopping right there. Dude it's Devin Thomas. It's not exactly Joe Montana or Art Monk. I'm suprised he was able to get that many people. The only player possibly worth my time would be portis. And even that signature will be worth Zippy in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only player possibly worth my time would be portis. And even that signature will be worth Zippy in a few years. I'll never forget watching Joe Montana sign an autograph for a kid at one of the Chantilly shows a couple years back. Despite the kid's obvious awe at meeting him, I don't think Joe ever actually looked at or even acknowledged the kid's existence since he was too busy chatting on his cell phone and staring in the opposite direction. This was despite the fact that it cost around $150 for the privilege of having him sign (I don't recall exactly as I didn't buy one). Hopefully Devin Thomas was at least a bit more fan friendly.

Gracelander Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 You pay $150 for Montana and all you'll see is this on your football J__/__M^\____a H_F 2000 looks like it was written on a richter scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcarey032 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 The way I look at it, when I go to autograph shows, I go and I ask questions and I try to elicit some sort of response. No sense in paying money for an experience and the autograph and not be able to ask the guy a question about him. That is the way that I look at it.

Hoagie1980 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I went to meet Fred Davis today. I would estimate about 50 people there when I left. He was very nice, a little quiet. He showed up about 15 minutes late but all in all a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcarey032 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 sounds fun. With the free signings, they don't seem to be as relaxed. They are just trying to get through it. At least that is how it seemed with ARE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcarey032 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Don't get me wrong, he was nice, but being that he was only obligated for one hour it was definitely rushed, more than the paid signing I went to for London Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingin33 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 It might have nothing to do with being a paid or free signing - it could be personality of the player or what he had for breakfast that morning, and if his wife yelled at him about the trash.

mcarey032 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 OH I am not saying Antwaan was bad, but there was definitely a more hurried feel to that autograph session vs. the paid session where you could at least talk for a couple of minutes. I do agree with you that it does depend on the personality because I have been to signings and unless you talk and ask the players something, they will usually just sign pose for a picture and then jet.

Hoagie1980 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Went to see LaRon tonight. He showed up late, BUT HE SHOWED UP!!! I was up front so I got up to the table in about 5 minutes. My wife told him a story about us being stuck in traffic next to him. She was trying to get his attention to look at out tags (they say "DIRTY30"). He apologized for ignoring her and got a little laugh out of it. Overall he was very nice and seemed happy to be there. He took his time signing our stuff and even added "Dirty 30" to my license plate when he signed it. We left the mall about an hour after he got there and there was still a pretty big line.

mcarey032 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 well glad to hear that he showed up. I would have loved to have gone, but I have been burned by the guy once. I had bought tickets to the last CSA show and he didn't show and didn't explain why. Glad to hear you had a good experience. Perhaps he has turned a corner in his career.

Hoagie1980 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Yeah, I believe this is 3 in a row he has shown up for. He is such a great guy and awesome player. Its a shame he quickly got a bad reputation for screwing over his fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrccoach2001 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 went to landry signing as well, line moved pretty well once everything started, found it alittle odd about no pictures as the "security" staff would try to block pictures even if you were waiting in line and such, even witnessed a small incident where a guy walking by tried to take a pic with his cell phone and the security put their hand up and the guy taking the pic just went off on him telling him," its a free country, freedom of speech, etc etc etc" overall landry was pleasent, smiled thanked the wife and I for coming out so overall worth the trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingin33 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Yea, that is really weird. I don't know if I have ever been to an autograph thing, and not been allowed to take a picture of the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
