With Training Camps Nearing...

[shevshenko]

The only bad thing was I was only about 13 or 14 at the time but I looked more like I was 16 or 17 so some players kinda ignored me to sign stuff for the younger kids.

haha

I have a problem with height so that helps(not really, but im quite short compared to my classmates)

well im a little biased and cowboys camp was just awesome. Went to cowboys came in 2005 in oxnard, i was up near the gates, while my wife and kids sat next to Keyshawn Johnsons parents and playing with his kids. Afterward we were invited to have dinner at a bbq place down the strett where we had dinner with him and terrance newman was the best ever. but here are some pic of the day after that night, i was in cowboys heaven

I took the family to the Bills TC in Pittsford (Rochester suburb) yesterday...we usually go a few times per year as they really enjoy meeting the players and the chase for the autos...luckily I have them to do the leg work and I just tell them who the players are and what each player should sign.

I think the Bills on a whole are a pretty good signing team over the last few years. In the past we have been able to get: Tom Dohahoe (former GM), Mike Mularky (former coach), Drew Bledsoe, JP Losman, Troy Vincent, Aaron Schobel, Chris Kelsay, Ryan Denney, Lee Evans, Josh Reed, Brian Moorman and Rian Lindell.

Yesterday my family was on the TO "quest" (so far they have only seen and heard of the good TO)...and unbeliveably they were able to get him to autograph a Mini Helmet, TO Tee Shirt that they were wearing and 2 Boxes of his TO's Cereal. He was very cordial and took his time signing despite the mob (we were actually in a VIP area so I guess it could have been worse in the open area). One odd thing is that in addition to his autograph and jersey number, he wrote a number on the cereal boxes (#17 & #18). So I don't know if he was counting how many cereal boxes he signed or what...but he did not number any of the other items.




We spent alot of time with TO so did not get many others but we did get these players:

Donte Whitner, Leodis McKelvin, Terrence McGee and George Wilson on a Mini Helmet (my DB theme)



Derek Fine (TE #86)

Shawn Nelson (Rookie TE #89)

Alvin Bowen (LB #50)

Jon Corto (LB #57 - Buffalo Area native)

For the lesser players I use the white decoy cards for the autographs...I actually saw a post on here a while back about them and I think they are a nice presentation as I like individual autos better than group items unless I am able to create a theme like the DB Mini Helmet.

Wife and kids have pics of the guys signing on their cameras but I have attached pics of the helmets and TO's Boxes.

The Bills do a nice job at the camp and I would recommend it to anyone in the area.

Thought I would add a few pics from the 2004 Camp:

Drew Bledsoe and the kids:

Mike Mularky and the kids:

JP Losman - walking to and then being carted from practice after breaking his ankle:
