BrandonJ83 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I am taking my wife and my sister who turns 25 on the 17th and just got her Kerrigan Jersey, to the patriots game on Sunday. This is a Christmas/B-Day present for her and just my annual pilgrimage to Fedex. My question is me being a diehard Skins fan for life, would it be wrong for me to go over to the Pats tunnel before the game and try to get Bradys autograph? I mean I have always respected the guy being that he came from 6th round pick to superstar but being the diehard I am, I just would feel weird in my D. Green jersey standing there hollering at Golden Boy? So what would you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCnDaHouse Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I don't see a problem getting a sports stars' autograph. However I'd probably take off the other teams jersey while attempting it. MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Not wrong at all...I'm not sure the tunnel right before kickoff is the best shot at getting his autograph, but I don't see why anyone would give you a hard time for trying!

Stophovr6 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Just get it personalized. Something like "I couldn't have done it without your support....and Adam Venateiri....and some video tape....Tom." I keed I keed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I dont see a problem with that at all. But i also dont see Brady the kind of guy willing to give his sig before the game. But maybe after half time when he's on the bench b/c they are killing us you might have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Whoever bags on you for trying to get his autograph is stupid and/or jealous....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonJ83 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Yeah I didn't know, and my sister is a Skins fan but of course she loves Brady. Yeah I never got Cooley to give me an Autograph before the game but I met him in Charlotte when we stayed at the hilton where the the team stayed and I did get a picture with him. Santana Moss signed my jersey before the game one time though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFKFedEx Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 You're asking for opinions so I'll give you mine. You don't have to agree with me. I am taking my wife. would it be wrong for me to try to get Bradys autograph? If you're old enough to be married, you're too old to ask another man for his autograph. So what would you do? I've seen parents with their kids try to get down near the player tunnels only to have the ushers chase them away. This is an hour+ before gametime. I don't think you'll be able to get close enough for an auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 why not? Funny, Brady's kind of the reason I'm going. Guy I work with, not a Skins fan, managed to score tickets through a distributor of ours, and we had a pick of any home game left. I said Vikings since we might win that one and he says "aww man you know that Brady guys gonna be in the record books, I wanna see him". So meh. I doubt it will be as easy as leaning over the tunnel though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaRonDontLikeUgly Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 If you're old enough to be married, you're too old to ask another man for his autograph. Hahaha I really like this one right here. And personally-- if I was Brian Orakpo warming up before the game and saw a Redskins fan leaning over the railing asking for Brady's autograph... It would reiterate what most people already know about our fanbase: Redskins fans are soft. I'm not saying we need to be anything like Philly-- but imagine an Eagles' fan asking for Brady's autograph at Lincoln Financial... They would literally run the risk of bodily harm at the hands of their own peers. If you want Brady's autograph then hit up Ebay, not FedEx. It's disrespectful to our players and franchise in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetThePointsSoar Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 If you're old enough to be married, you're too old to ask another man for his autograph. Really?!?!?!? Seems like a bit of a silly statement. I'm sorry, but I'm 33, but if I'm standing next to Art Monk, you best damned believe I'm asking for an autograph. Seems childish & possessing of a bit of a self confidence issue if trying to look macho convinces you otherwise. Just my $.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Pressure Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 If you're old enough to be married, you're too old to ask another man for his autograph. You and your crazy scientist friend step out of his DeLorean time machine and walk down the road. You happen upon Abraham Lincoln on his way to deliver the Gettysburg address. Your friend goes to ask him for his signature but you shoot out your arm and say "What are you thinking, don't do that" Your scientist friend replies "of course! Any interaction with a famous figure like Abraham Lincoln, no matter how short and insignificant could have a PROFOUND effect on our future as we know it! You quickly reply: "No, its not that. I mean c'mon, you're like 50. Aren't you a little old to be asking another man for his autograph, little boy?" "Bu...But its Abraham Lincoln...the man who freed the slaves...who in their right mind wouldn't want his autograph as a souvenir?" "Me, obviously. What do I look like, some little child? Oh pwees!!! PWEESE MISTUH LINCOLN!!! May I has your autograph?? PWEEEEEESSSEEE? You make me sick!" *end scene* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyConway Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Not wrong at all. He's arguably the greatest QB of all time. I would only hesitate if it was a Cowgirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's disrespectful to our players and franchise in my opinion. Well I would never ask for Aikman's autograph but if getting one of the Greatest QBs of all time autograph is disrespectful, then when the game is going on and there is a TV time out or break in the action, they shouldn't talk to the players on the other team. That make me mad as hell but then I realize this is a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I ever crossed paths with the man and it were appropriate to speak, I'd politely give him some thanks for the memories and then I'd be on my way. Adult autograph hounds are a little creepy IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallsux Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 So what would you do? Yes, it's wrong. :patriotsu BTW, please, please, please, stay the whole game. Don't go & then leave with the rest of the crowd when the score is 42-10 at halftime. Be the die-hard you say you are & stay anyway! :helmet: ---------- Post added December-9th-2011 at 11:56 PM ---------- Not wrong at all. He's arguably the greatest QB of all time.

rumplestilskin Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Anyone who has been in Giselle's pants is Autograph worthy. However on the street I wouldn't hesitate to get a superstar of Brady's stature's autograph but in the skins house I personally wouldn't. It just seems wrong.

I'm sure he's not gonna play til he's 40, no, but I'm quite sure he'll be making at least one more appearance here before he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
