Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Video: Ever wonder what players do on the road?

They sign autographs, of course. A lot of 'em. Behold the world's largest collection of privately-held Steve Bernier hockey cards...



And yes, the market for Bill Lindsay remains strong, at least outside of Boston. Sweet job getting those rarities from Sanstortelli, Reepik, and Dandonov. Have to hand it to the Cats, who may be the most generous team - timewise - in North America.

Litter Box Cats - Your tarp-free Florida Panthers Colossus

At least we’re used to them. That guy is an example of one of the most hardcore sports fans in South Florida.

Don’t think he’s in FLA; hit them up for the goods at a hotel somewhere.

Or maybe – and going out on a weak link here – a Dairy Queen.

Think maybe the Panthers Party Patrol hit up that Dairy Queen?

Listen very closely at 4:41..

I think that sums up how our season has gone this year…

as well as 4:44 and 5:39 marks. I wonder if this should be a comedy routine.

I don't know...

…whether to be amazed or scared.

Scared.. do he say he collected all 200+ items in 1 day? Isn’t that kind of rude to ask guys to sign a BUNCH of stuff at once? I got my David Booth hockey stick signed in Dallas in preseason last year and that was a small act of g-d.

Same thoughts here, I have only been able to get signatures at the Den of Honor opening and when Billy signed during 1st intermission earlier this year…. 200 items… He must have held the team hostage at gunpoint or something.

Be afraid… be very afraid.

Listen carefully and you’ll also hear him horribly mispernounce Dadanov and Repik. Holy god this made me laugh.

well… you can tell by some of his actions or the way he speaks that he has some sort of “problem”. Not saying theres anything wrong with that but it would explain a lot. Such as having no problem asking a team for 200+ autographs, ripping one and acting like u havent a care in a world putting it on youtube, and then the mispronunciation of names.

I had been following weiss’ career since I came and saw him drafted here in south florida, it only took me 7 years to finally get his autograph on a jersey.. and even that was as he was rushing out of the arena and I almost had to tackle him. I did feel relieved to finally get it though.

by Rob PKane McMahon on Apr 5, 2011 6:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah this kinda pisses me off, I’m sure players dont mind the occasional autograph (even at a bad time) especially since no one on the roster is a superstar, but people who walk up with a stack of cards to sign is just a waste of thier time and patience. There is a line between fans and players that should not be crossed.

I went to a marlins spring training game, and most players I could tell didnt want to sign these cards and pictures(yes pictures) of themselves. Hanley ONLY signed baseballs, no cards or anything like that.

hehe took me one trip to philly :)

by Colt1235 on Apr 5, 2011 6:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

When I went to the panthers game in boston, there were a bunch of guys waiting outside near the bus with books of cards…pretty sad people follow teams for JUST autographs. That day, i got my TVO jersey autographed…but I was in the hotel and caught him on his way out :)
