Agreed. **** all the losers that feel entitled to autographs or pictures. They're just a notch below people who get sports tattoos

I have a pretty cool autograph story. Back when I was a teenager I went with my friend who was a HUGE Cowboys fan to Cowboys training camp. This was the year before they started winning Super Bowls in the '90s. Most of them already acted like they had won multiple Super Bowls and very few signed autographs. Aikman signed a few. Smith and Irvin couldn't be bothered. I've been a Cowboy hater ever since.

However, the Raiders were in town for a scrimmage and they couldn't have been nicer. Every Raider player I approached signed for me and I was wearing my Chiefs gear. Howie Long was a dick to my friend, but he still signed for us.

I can add, when we went to River Falls back in the day - Tony Gonzalez was one of the all-time uber pricks when it came to signing autographs.

Oh yeah. When I was in high school my uncle and two little cousins (8 years oldish) went to River Falls. It was after Tony's breakout year. Somehow he had timed it just right so there weren't any fans around when he was walking to the facility except for my two cousins and me. I understood that he probably wouldn't want to sign my stuff, so I just walked up and said, "Hey Tony, would it be okay if you signed a hat or two?"

He ignored me and kept walking.

My cousin then called out, "Mr. Gonzalez, could we have your autograph?"

Tony stops, grumbles, and goes, "Yeah, make it quick though. Which hat am I signing?"

My two cousins both gave their hat to him. "Which one, dudes? I'm only doing one." They just looked at each other. One of them thought he was joking around, so he said, "How about both?"

"Nuh-uh. You guys got 5 seconds to pick or I'm outta here." I looked at him and he was totally serious.

I started asking the older brother if he would be cool with letting his younger sibling have the autograph, but before he could say anything, Tony just goes, "Screw it. I'll do both. You guys are taking too long." He scribbled out a signature on each hat, shoved them at me and walked off. I told my cousins to say thank you, which they did, but I didn't even get a "Yep" in response.

You don't have to sign autographs, but it should be kind of an expectation that you be polite(ish) to fans. I know we all have bad days and if you're getting nothing but autograph requests it can get frustrating, but holy shit. What a ****ing bitch.

And I won't even call you a dumbass for it.

When a player is released he goes through waivers. If a team picks him up off of waivers, that team MUST add him to the 53 man roster. THEY CANNOT PUT THAT PLAYER ON THEIR PRACTICE SQUAD.

All practice squad players on every team must clear waivers first.

If that player clears waivers, then he is free to sign with anyone and those teams CAN place him on their practice squad.

Now I ask you, why would a team pass on Bray for 7 rounds, see him get cut by a QB-hungry team and pick him up off waivers and place him on their 53-man roster? Because they all of a sudden see him with amazing potential?

Bullshit. Won't happen.

If Bray were to be cut and he did clear waivers, why would he sign to another team's pratice squad when he chose the Chiefs as an undrafted rookie and went through an entire offseason with them?

I agree that it is entirely likely Bray will make the final roster, but if KC wanted to put him on the practice squad, it'll be likely because he didn't do much in the preseason and thus no team would pick him off waivers.

:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

i
****ing
know

Your entire argument is that:

A) A player only goes onto the practice squad if he were not good enough to be on the roster.
B) 31 other teams trust the evaluation of every other team "If he's not good enough for them, he's not good enough for us!"


By your rational, no player has ever been claimed off waivers and signed from someone's practice squad. It's a ****ing ridiculous argument. You're wrong. Accept it and move on.
