2012 NFLPA Rookie Premiere Pics.

That is Dwayne Bowe comparing his sleeve to my friend's sleeve. He was by far the coolest. He came up to us and was shooting the **** with us. I had just caught that mini ball signed by Weeden (See the pic with the hand smeared with Sharpie and the one after with mini football with the smeared autograph). While he was talking, he just reached out and grabbed the mini ball (which I was saving for my dad, the diehard Brownie), and signed it. I'm like, "Dude, that ball was for my Dad and he is a Browns fan." He's like "Whoops, my bad." And I told him it was cool and that I didn't think Pops would mind having D. Bowe's signature along with Weeden's. You could tell he was comfortable with the crowds of hoarding fans and all the rookies looked a little lost compared to him. It was pretty awesome.

No one was watching the game once they all started making rounds for autographs. The celebs and x-players playing in the game were definitely not the draw there, though Sean Astin, of the Gonnies, Rudy, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy fame, was there and people were pretty excited to see him. Seriously, nobody was watching the game.

his tats are pretty cool, and thats a good story.....how'd your dad take the signature when he saw it?

He was pretty excited, but he lives in Pennsylvania, so he only saw pictures so far. I had a Browns hat for Weeden to sign and I was holding it up, yelling "Brandon, for my Dad, for my Dad. He nodded at me then signed the mini football, pointed right at me and fired away. It was high and in a crowd of people, so I had to use my height and size to grab it, but I came down with it clean. Lol. Yeah it was fun as hell. I'm surprised no other Finheaveners were there. I posted about it a week ahead of time and I know there are a number of SoCal guys on here. Oh well. It was a blast for me.
