Marshmallow Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 OK, especially those of you who live in Buffalo and have asked for autographs, tried to have a conversation, etc. Who is number one in arrogance, rudeness, and self-importance? Share your nomination and the reason. 364922[/snapback] When I got Flutie's autograph, he walked by about 20 people holding out mini helmets and other little crappy things that they were obviously going to go sell. I had brand new full sized NFL football... He signed it and only it and got on the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRH Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Agreed. I would bet that the fukktard percentage amongst fans seeking autographs (disturbing during dinner, shoving others out of the way, selling them for cash, lying that it is for your kid) is identical to the fukktard percentage amongst players giving them out. 365616[/snapback] I got my last autograph when I was in high school. After that it just felt funny to even think about getting them. I remember when Bobby Grich came back to Silver for an appearance. He was signing autographs in the concourse during the game and I waited for a little lull, then tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Grich, I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed watching you play baseball because you always played hard and you played the game the right way. Thanks for the memories and I just wanted to shake your hand." Didn't ask for an autograph. He looked me in the eye, shook my hand and said, "Thank you. Thank you SO much." I remember that moment more than I remember any of the autographs I ever got, and when I was a kid I was lucky enough to get Willie Mays and Stan Musial, among others, back in a time when everyone signed freely without charging anything. Another time -- and I told this story once before -- I was walking on the Fisher campus when I came upon Don Beebe setting up signs for his House of Speed Camp. I said something stupid like "You're Don Beebe!" He was very gracious and shook my hand. I didn't stay to talk to him because the conversation probably would have gone like this: ME: Remember when you played that Super Bowl against Dallas? DB: Yeah...? ME: And Leon Lett picked up that fumble and started running to the end zone? DB: Yeah...? ME: And you started chasing after him? DB: Yeah...? ME: And then you caught up to him and knocked it away just before he scored? DB: Yeah...? ME: That was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 A friend flies from Buffalo to NYC a lot. Once he was seated next to Kelly on a flight. Instead of talking football (this is after Kelly retired) they talked about family, etc. He said Kelly was one of the nicest seatmates he has had. They don't want to talk shop all the time.

clayboy54 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I got OJ's autograph during camp in his rookie year at the old Camelot Inn and he was extremely nice to me. Unfortunately, he signed #30 under his name, because #32 was already taken. As for Flutie, a friend of mine has an autistic child and has a foundation for autistic children here in Indiana. I contacted Flutie's foundation and asked if he would consider sending something to be auctioned for the benefit here. He sent a signed copy of his band's CD. I thought that was very kind of him. Of course, he was a Charger by then. Go figure. I remember having a tough time getting Conrad Dobler to sign or even speak to me. I did tell him how much I admired him over the years and he basically blew me off and didn't even say thanks. During the same era, Ron Jesse was exceptionally nice and took several minutes talking with me personally. Jim Haslett and Isaiah Robertson were a-holes to me and my friends. They were nice to the women with big chests, however. Jim Kelly was great to me, joking and clowning around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Things Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Bledsoe came in to the Portland Bills Backers bar a couple years ago. (The day after we drafted Willis I think) Anyway... he was a really nice guy. He walked around the entire pub simply BS'ing with people. He signed me hat and even wrote a note for my wife on a bar napkin, because I told him that she was due with our second child that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a person I found him to be one of the coolest pro players I have ever met.
