John pulled this Dwayne Bowe Autograph out of a box of 2007 Topps Triple Threads.  Not too bad either! It looks like a Platinum Blue parallel and is serial numbered 2/3!!

David pulled this beauty out of just one pack of 2007-08 Topps Co-Signers Basketball.  Although he opened most of the rest of the box the week before! (He gave you guys a chance!)  A Tri-Signers Triple Autograph of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade.  Not too shabby David!

Aaron approached Boomer with a Cincinnatti Bengals Mini-Helmet and Boomer looks up and says,  “I see you haven’t done this before.”  He proceeds to tear one of the stripes of the middle of the helmet so he can give a big and bold autograph.  Todd Heap, sitting next to Boomer, gave him a look like “What in the heck are you doin?”

The US Air Force tent only had football stars early in the day, but boy, did they have stars.  Friday and Saturday we received autographs from Chad Johnson, Braylon Edwards, and All Day Adrian Peterson.Â

There was no contest at this years NFL Experience in Arizona,  the Burger King tent ruled them all.  Every two hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of Super Bowl week they brought out two more featured stars.  We received signatures from Boomer Esiason, Alex Smith, Steve Smith (Panthers), Roy Williams (Cowboys), John Lynch, Jared Allen,  DeMarcus Ware, and Todd Heap.  And we just missed Cris Carter, Darrell Green, Archie Manning, and Derek Anderson by minutes.  They also had the King himself and several SF 49ers Cheerleaders available for photos all day.  Thanks Burger King!  We hope to see you next year in Tampa!

The artist formerly known as Chad Johnson brought his all-star act to the NFLX over an hour late.  There was no eye contact, only the refusal to sign your personal items.  However, he and the Air Force reps held up their end of the bargain.  Even after we received his co-signers autograph, Braylon Edwards, we were still the first to receive 85’s signature!! Because he made it that way, Thanks Chad!

We got to the NFL Experience as the gates opened at 10 A.M., and quickly realized that Adrian Peterson was appearing at the Air Force tent.  David and I waited for 3 1/2 hours but he finally arrived.  We were 5th in line, and when he signed my photo, I reached out to shake the Rookie of the Years hand…What a grip!!! He about broke my damn hand!  I wont make that mistake again…but that’s OK,  I was distracted by what had to be the most expensive watch I have ever seen.  Adrian only signed 200 Air Force photos during the entire NFL Experience.

At the NFL X After Dark party on Thursday, January 31st, we were some of the luckiest NFL fanatics anywhere to be found.  We turn a corner and bam…  the Lombardi Trophy!  We took pics, and tried to make a run for it, but the NFL had that thing pretty secure… 41 champions gave us all a pic of a lifetime.

Things are going great, other than having airport security rumble rifling through my bag, only to tell me that I can’t carry my $50 worth of shampoo aboard the plane, making go all the back to check that crap in! No way I was tossing that stuff…Hey that’s $50!!! Until next time…
