Brett Tessler said:Getting an NFL front office or scouting position is very difficult. Some of the scouts and front office people have been doing this for 30+ years, so it's not like jobs are opening up daily. Most of the newer guys I know started out as interns and were either lucky or had connections. Obviously you need to know football and be a great evaluator of talent. Some guys start their own scouting services and develop quite a reputation (Mel Kiper). I recommend that you call your local NFL team and ask to speak to someone in the college scouting department. Hopefully they will take the time to point you in the right direction.
The best way to get player autographs through the mail is to send your item to the team (care of: the player) with a self-addressed stamped envelope. You can find all the team addresses on NFL.com or the other league websites. Good luck.dolphindan1970 said:Brett, not sure if you can help me with this or not,but I am hoping anyway. I run a sportsbased website as well, and I was trying to get information such as from NFL,NBA,MLB,Nascar, with such things as driver addresses, team mailing and e-mailing addresses, etcc, along those lines, so fans can write in and ask for autographs, get team information, etc...
I have found a site or two that list all sports teams, or they say they do anyway, but the site price is ridicuosly priced, and Im no rich man here... LOL Several years ago , I remember in some magazine seeing all NFL teams mailing addresses given, and even wrote the Dolphins then, but that was many years ago, and I dont even know where to try to find all these different sports mailing addreses and such now... any help from you, or any staff or anyone would certainly be appreciated my friend..... Oh, and BTW, how is that new little girl doing ? Hope all is well, take care, and thanks again Brett, Dan
He confused you with Simon (Boomer) he just had a little girl.Brett Tessler said:P.S. There's no little girl here... you must have me confused with somebody else.
Yeah, I had indeed, thanks for the assist in explaining it for me. I think maybe the columns had flip flopped or something, or maybe I was that night !MNFINFAN said:He confused you with Simon (Boomer) he just had a little girl.

Brett Tessler said:Greetings from the Las Vegas All-American Classic... Everything is going very well here. I've signed a few more players, and all of my guys have been very impressive this week. I've been busy helping them with all the team questionares, and arranging interviews with the many scouts who've wanted to speak with them. In fact, the Dolphins seem to have serious interest in more than one of my guys.
As I mentioned before, I signed OT Erik Pears from Colorado State (who just tore his right shoulder at the East/West Shrine Game and had successful surgery last week), as well as QB Chad Friehauf from Colorado Mines who was the Division II Player of the Year, fullback Jon Goldsberry from Purdue who has incredible size, speed, and athleticism and was named The Sporting News' Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Year. I also signed Stephen Cucci from the University of Houston who's a prototypical NFL tight end at 6'5" and 270 pounds that can run and has amazing hands. There's a few more including Paul Ernster, a punter from Northern Arizona who has a cannon for a leg and just set the NCAA record for net punting average.VanDolPhan said:Which guys did you end up signing?
