It’s not a pissing match. I’m not even arguing with Kevin. even if he thinks I am.
I see them as people as well. I just can’t understand why, when they become “stars”, they suddenly forget us “little people”. When Favre first got to Green Bay, he took the time to sign for fans. Once he hit the big time, he disappeared. But he would show up at card shows to sign for $100 a pop (or more)each. It priced guys like me out, as I didn’t have that kind of money.
I see Kevin’s point.
He might be right.
He might not be. Maybe I’m totally wrong. Maybe I’m just trying to figure out why so many of them lose touch with the people.
I can only say what I have experienced, and try to make sense of it.

I get that. I think part of their job, part of being famous, is giving some of your free time to the people that helped to make you famous. Guys like Clay Matthews, I never saw him sign anything for anyone. Never even saw him acknowledge fans after a practice.
I think some of them think their “you-know- what” doesn’t stink.
Ahman Green? Exact opposite. I never saw him not take a few minutes to sign for people.
The only money point I was trying to make (maybe not well) is that, if someone sells something they sign, it won’t take food out of their families mouths, or make it so they can’t pay their rent. They lose nothing, and most likely would make some fans day. Someone that may have spent money and vacation time to spend a day watching practice. I can’t tell you how many out of state license plates I have seen at a practice.

Focus on the Ahman Green's and ignore the Clay Matthew III's because I assure you, there are more Greens than Matthews.
