Any way Laron didn't show and basically wasted a day of mine as I traveled a considerable amount of time and stood in line only to stand in line more so i could return the prepaid autograph tickets when he did not show. I just wanted a personalized helmet for my brother's 30th b-day since Laron is # 30. I wanted "the dirty 30" on it. But he stood me and a bunch of other fans up who are not fat collector types. Anyway like everyone else has said don't sign up for this shit if you are not going to show up Laron. Laron was quickly becoming my favorite Redskin and now I think he is a pompous asshole because of his inability to show up to be paid thousands of dollars for 2 hours of work with the fans.

Well if a person gets paid to sign stuff is he really doing it for the fans in the first place? Thats what I don't get about this signing stuff. He gets paid to sign your stuff, the person who sells the tickets makes money doing this stuff and the fan feels like the player did them a favor by sign something for them.
