ladyskin76 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 First off this is my first thread post so admins please move if this is in the wrong spot..Just wanted to share my experience meeting Fletcher and Orakpo at Tyson's yesterday. Got my first autograph photos didn't have a decent cam so I don't have more pics. Sorry guys. They called it the GMC tailgate so I assumed it was outside the mall (silly me) and my crappy phone cam would be fine. Actually they did a little setup by the customer service desk and Macy's. There wasn't as many people as I thought they would be (maybe it wasn't promoted well?). The line wasn't terribly long and it moved fairly fast. Brian signed only his photo and wore his signature Orakpo "The Beast" tee which showed off the guns :laugh:. Dude seems all about his business but he chatted with me a lil I told him I was a huge fan and he thanked me for coming out. Fletcher was super sweet even signed memorabilia but I I think they stopped that because it was taking up time and we were taking up a considerable amount of space up in the mall. I thought it was funny that I was pretty much the only chick in line and when Orakpo came up other chicks kept coming up asking who was that signing autographs lol. I thought them taking the pics with the kids and babies where too cute. Anywho I thought it was a kewl experience and I got some free signing out of it which is pretty rare these days. If you have any pics please share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's been here for three years lol ... And how ridiculously fortunate were the Skins to be able to land Orakpo at #13 (!!)...and the media at the time made fun of us for picking him so quickly instead of waiting the entire 15 minutes to see if we'd get offers lol :doh:...

MWCREDSKINS Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 It wasn't highly publicized at all, I didn't know about it. But I'm glad you got to meet those 2. They are class acts, I wish London could've been a Skins his whole career but at least he has a Super Bowl ring and has given his heart to this team for 4+ years. Orakpo's potential is scary is he's so dedicated that I can't see him failing barring injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I was there, I met London and Orakpo. I asked Fletch to write "Dallas Sucks!" on my hat and he lol'ed and signed my hat "Dallas Sucks!" Once I upload that pic I'll post it here. I'm on the left my bro is on the right: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatBuzz Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I met Rak at the Pentagon session and he was awesome to talk to. Very down to earth. Huge arms. And he signed my ball **** Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
