Completely absurd.

Love the logic of, hey Tebow charged this amount of $ so that means its fine if Cam does it for this amount.

These assholes need to remember without the fans they are nobody.

About 7-10 years ago when the Astros were good and had a few known names, there would be crowds at their hotels and in the bars when they returned after the game. They would mingle, sign autos, etc. I asked Berkman and Bagwell once why they don’t sign much and the response was- people sell them. They will sign but personalize it and I witnessed a few times people would get mad because they personalized the sign.

Knobs bellied up to the bar and we chatted and laughed at Undertaker not even being able to get near a bar to order a beer.

I got to belly up to the bar with Mershawn Lynch, Jason Peters and a couple other Bills a few years back when they were in Fayetteville for something. they were taking shots of Patron at 6:00 and were real cool. I sat there and bs’d with them for a couple minutes.

Remember ‘em both. Breland was good for a little bit. Loved Simpson on Video Soul. Him and Sherry Carter made good hosts. Classy as hell, and she is fine.

Sherry Carter! Damn she was fine! Donnie Simpson was the King of DC Morning radio for years. Mark Breland…NYC Legend!!

Charles Barkley by all account is one of the nicest celebrity you will ever meet. Tom Hanks, too. Proof that fame doesn’t instantly turn you into an asshole.

A good friend of mine was a huge Dan Marino fan. He worked his way up in sports business. One day, he was working with a HOF athlete who said he knew that my friend loved Marino, that Marino was in town, and would he like to go meet him. They go to a hotel, all have a drink. My friend brought a football he had in his office for Marino to sign. Marino goes, let’s go out and play catch.

Most of these pro guys are real prima donnas when it comes to money/salary, but a # of them are cool with their fans. Some cases, both.

But, does Timmy not see it? Is there no trusted adviser near him to tell him this?

His homeschooling curriculum wasn’t exactly heavy on critical thinking.

If you were a Falcons fan, you would side with me. Trust me on that.

Thought you were an Eagles fan?

The only trusted advisor he listens to is a few miles up in the sky, doesn’t have a voice, and doesn’t exist.

You mean Steve Perry?

That 225$ will be small change when Tebow gets elected president. (Shoot me now)

i have nothing against you personally, but if you did this, and he jacked you in the face, id have said “goebbels had it coming.”

I was in college and Wrestlemania rolled through town. We were out drinking on a Thursday night at our usual spot and who rolls in? Undertaker and Brian Knobs. Everybody hounded Undertaker and Knobs bellied up to the bar and we chatted and laughed at Undertaker not even being able to get near a bar to order a beer. I still remember that, I’d have lost an autograph before I even left the bar that night.

He’s got some people in his ear who want to suck all the money out of him that the can and they will gladly exploit his faith for the almighty dollar.

Breland was dating my boy’s sister and hung out with us one night. Played Spades and then he took us to the movies. He fell asleep. And Donnie is possibly the coolest dude on the planet. We hang occasionally.

I don’t follow Nascar. But is that ESPN commercial with some kid named Dillon or something real?

I’ll remember this when I send my nephew over to get your autograph when you are WWE Champion.

The Champ signs for kids. And fake internet friends.
