NFL TTM Thread

[Luigi Fioravanti]

That's inexcusable for Deangelo Hall to be behind in taxes. His workout bonus is $500,000. Idk why anyone would expect to get him TTM either. Its another case of "use common sense".

The 1st time I got Desmond on a mini helmet I was disappointed with his sig it looked like 3 circles. I also got the mini signed by Woodson. The second time I got Desmond his sig looked a lot better. I have a letter out to him right now, with the Heisman pose pic I can't wait to get that one back. Also wrote griese c/o espn but I had been drinking so I dont remember what I wrote or how good my letter was. Maybe I'm like Hemingway and I write better while intoxicated. (let's hope so) also have my 97 SI with Marcus ray bout to smoke David Boston. I got his address on twitter so if anyone wants it pm me. He told me to spread his address around.

Hah yeah, I've got a couple of autographs that when I got them I was like whut is this? I remember Harvey Martin in person signed a card with his initials. It was on his Pro Set Super Bowl card. I almost thought his autograph wrecked the card. Later I got him again at a convention and asked him to sign his whole siggy.

Sterling was a guy who I got way back in the early 90s through the Packers when he played for them. It was a disappointingly pedestrian autograph (that looked like a signature). Recently I got his through NFL network who forwarded it to his home, and it was much more... 'autographically loopy'.

Yeah Marshall Faulk is pretty hard to get and I haven't ever seen a ttm Deion success. Cris Carter though has a 60-90 day window through his home addy for 1-2 autograph requests. So does former Eagles DB Eric Allen. Mark Maye and Meril Hoge can be hit or miss.

Anybody need any retired players addresses? Anybody have an address for Carl Painter? (I know. Obscure. I collect WLAF autographs.)

LOVE that Marcus Ray SI cover! Getting that signed would look sweet!

Keep holding out hope for your Griese to come back. If I remember right, mine took about 2 months during the college football season. Sending to Afghanistan I'm sure would take even longer than that in the offseason.

Got new Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas back today via home. 3 cards.

Desmond was before his time. If he were coming out of college now, he would be Devin Hester or Reggie Bush. Recognized as more of an elite return specialist and play out his career on one team. Green Bay and Detroit got it right and he rewarded them with Pro Bowl seasons and even keyed Green Bay's Super Bowl win. Desmond is a borderline HOF-caliber returner. Washington should have had him focus on returning and not as much on running routes, and not given up on him after a couple years. I know you don't wanna hear this from a Giants fan but Washington seems to either sign or cut the wrong guys. Another thing you won't wanna hear...Roy Helu and Evan Royster over Jordan Todman...idk man. San Diego got away with a steal there because everyone reached on RB's this year.

Totally agree about signing and cutting the wrong guys, been frustrated about that for years now. Really hoping that things are going to be different now. I really think Royster can thrive in Shanahan's system, but not too sure about Helu being able to carry the load (hopefully he's not asked to.) Still I've gone for a "collect them all" mentality TTM when it comes to the Redskins' picks this year because I really think a lot of them can make the team and have solid contributions.

In the case of Hankerson and Jarvis Jenkins, totally agree.

Just saw this on sc.net so whoever was asking about boldin here ya go; "Boldin, Anquan
6/13/2011 failure 471 E Crescent Pl. Chandler, AZ 85249 3 sent (2) 2010T & IC - RTS - Not Deliverable As Addressed - Unable to Forward"

That's because the dipsh!t used an address from his Arizona Cardinals days. And that's why common sense is so important, especially with stamps riding on your decisions. At the very least, think about the address you're about to use. Chandler, AZ happens to be where all of the Arizona Cardinals reside. You find one, you tend to find them all. I would never waste my time trying Boldin in the first place but if I saw the "Chandler, AZ" address, knowing he's a member of the Baltimore Ravens and has most likely moved, I wouldn't have used that address. No offense to anyone here but a lot of people you run across on the 'net are dumb. Proceed with caution if you're using addresses other people found.

Yeah so, remember that post I had the other day about not sending out anymore requests until I get a success? I knew I wouldn't be able to stick to that! Seeing all these posts about Michigan players, past and present, has inspired me to work on my Michigan collection while I wait for some of my Redskins stuff to come in. So here's my list of who's going out either today or tomorrow:

Chad Henne
LaMarr Woodley
Roy Roundtree
Junior Hemingway

Of course this means I will now have to buy another book of stamps. I've decided not to post where I'm sending my requests from now on, since it makes no sense for me to get flooded with PMs about what address I used when in some cases I'm not even sure if it's correct. If I end up adding more to this list, I'll be sure to post it.
