hammerva Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 if you like to collect autographs of NFL quarterbacks, you might want to avoid the NFC East. We already the issue with Eli Manning and his fake autographs and now Dak Prescott is using a auto-pen when signing some cards that he was supposed to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 That's going to turn into a bigger story. People have already started looking at other guys and have found some suspicious sets of autographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The autograph/memorabilia industry is about the sleaziest and scummiest industry imaginable. It makes the porn industry look clean in comparison. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Ain't that the truth. The biggest name in the entire industry was Barry Halper and he ended up being a total fraud who paid people to steal stuff from the HOF when outright faking it wasn't good enough.

Death From Above Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I've never really understood the autograph thing, but the few stories I've seen on authenticating them doesn't exactly encourage me that people are routinely getting what they paid for. I think it was last summer TSN did basically a sting piece at some major convention in Toronto and had no trouble getting any number of fakes authenticated.

Kevin Wilson Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Autograph cards aren't really the same as buying an autograph photo at a show, that's always been hit or miss. It really just comes down to if you trust the player or not, as they all sign something with Panini, Topps, etc. saying they signed the card (or stickers). So it wouldn't be a mistake or like Bob The Flea Market Guy selling a photo he signed himself, the athlete would have to intentionally break a contract, and most players either for legal or moral reasons (probably more legal) will go ahead and sign them rather than have someone forge it and risk it getting out. What is more common is they just don't ever sign the cards at all, sometimes redemptions go out and are never redeemable since the player never signed the card.

Ryan Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Or you just ask every player you meet to sign your ass until one agrees and you get it tattooed then try to sell yourself on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes the porn industry look clean in comparison. The autograph/memorabilia industry is pretty low on the sports sleaze list. Football as a whole is pretty sleazy. The NCAA is my vote for the most immoral association in all of sports. Are we counting wrestling? What about the entire unwritten rules thing in baseball, which is pretty much all derivative of "keeping the black players in line," after integration? People exploiting a bunch of grown men hero worshiping athletes, pretty low on my list of sleaze. It ain't right, but it isn't going to ruin my day.

Death From Above Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I would rank the Olympic Committee and FIFA behind the NCAA for morals but man those are some thin margins. I wouldn't trust any of them to housesit my cat let alone a child. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no details to what happened, so it could range from a drunk person yelling at Elliot, to Elliot stomping that dude to the ground. The only thing it does is make people think negatively about Elliot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Quote Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was involved in a late-night incident at a Dallas bar Sunday, a source confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter. According to the Dallas Police Department, officers were dispatched to the bar around 9:40 p.m. A 30-year-old man said he was physically assaulted but could not identify who assaulted him. The man was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A Dallas Police spokesperson said no arrests or suspects have been reported in connection with the incident, which was first reported by 105.3 FM The Fan in Dallas. The investigation is ongoing, according to police. An NFL official said the league is aware of the situation involving Elliott and "looking into it to understand the facts." http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20086346/ezekiel-elliott-dallas-cowboys-involved-incident-dallas-bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Ezekiel needs to get him a keeper. I don't think he has reached the Dez-level of needing to be watched 24/7 but someone already on the cusp of probably being suspended should know better than to get into another incident. Maybe the guy deserved to be punched, who knows, but it isn't a good look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Why is anything involving a car more likely to make a person unreasonably angry than anything else on earth. I was talking about how someone stole less than a dollar out of the ashtray in my car, and how I don't remember ever being that mad before or since. I honestly don't want to know what I would have done if I caught that person. It also reminded me of the time when I saw a knockdown dragout brawl over a "stolen" parking space. The whole car thing, makes regularly reasonable people do some insane things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Lucky "I need a new nickname" Whitehead, got cut from the Cowboys for getting arrested for shoplifting then skipping his court date. Except, he didn't actually steal anything. He wasn't even in the state where the stealing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I am generally in favor of letting things play out a bit before people are fired or suspended across the board. Not that someone has to be convicted before taking action in some cases but at least let the investigation finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
