I wouldn't base my opinion on someone just cause he didn't sign an autograph the way you wanted him to.

My nephew had the same experience with DG. He's 19 now, but was 15 when he got "turned down" by Green. My brother and his family are slightly conceited; so they're at Smith and Wolensky's in downtown DC; my brother tells my nephew it's DG and tells him to go over and ask for an autograph. My nephew approaches DG, and DG tells my nephew "Sorry, I'm eating." Kinda rude, but here again my nephew, when he was younger was kind of a spoiled brat. I've never been into adults asking other adults, for their autograph; but for a 15 year old redskin fan?? I lost some respect for DG. Great player kind of a jerk. Alot of kids idolize athletes, and we in part pay their salaries, so to not sign for kids is not right IMO. That said if they don't want to sign an autograph they don't have to. Compared to DG, Sean Taylor, from what I heard was a friendly guy and great at signing autographs for the fans; On the surface you'd think it'd be the opposite.
