Most of these things don't go to charity unless it is advertised as that.

Oh yea, and you should see what your boy DG gets... if you want him to sign a jersey, it is almost 200.

Oh Yea that's right it does, it goes in the Rock Cartwright pocket charity, that makes it a little easier.

Well, think of it this way... these guys have been working for years just to make it to the NFL... and in a few years, most of them could walk down the street and no one would know who they were.... they have to make the bucks while they can.

A FEW BUCKS MY A**! It would be nice to think you could give back an hour or two to the fans FREE OF CHARGE. You know the season tic holders like myself. Other folks that are less fortunate that scrap to get a lid and skin jersey. GET REAL! Most average folks don't have 20 spots jumping outta there A**! :smashfrea

That's like me saying to someone.... "hey, I really like the work you do... come spend 2 hours driving somewhere, and work for me for free for a couple of hours... and then spend 2 hours driving home". Most people won't work for their boss without being paid.

thats why i said i dont know the details cuz never saw a link to it. also well it didnt cost me anything except a trip to the nfl experiece a few years back in New Orleans to get DGs autograph. but he also has a youth foundation too

This could get out of hand. So let's not let it.

i think the point skinsfan is trying to make is that Cartwright is paid very well for his job, and sitting somewhere and signing autographs for 2 hours is hardly taxing on the body. i would gladly give up 2 hours of my time for a trade of about 500,000.00 per year. would you? these guys are living a dream, all people want is for them to give back alittle

But you can't trade because you don't have the ability. If you have a problem with it then don't show up, that will make it pretty clear. I also think it is kind of presumptuous for Cartright to ask $20 for an auto, but I bet he isn't the only one making money off the event. There is a Redskins Store in Spotsylvania Mall (my home town before I ended up in SC) so I'm thinking the event is yet another marketing opportunity by the Redskins. Who do you think is going to pocket the cash from all the jerseys, mini-helmets, coffee mugs, and other crap they presumably sell at the store that day? Hmmmmm, I wonder.

Fredericksburg? Hell No! I might run into my idiot in-laws at Gander Mountain!

[dmek25]

i will not buy anyones autograph. i think it is a stupid ploy by whoever the athlete to make a cheap buck. i have no problem with Dan Snyder making the money he is due. but for an athlete to make 20.00, or whatever, playing a game, thats right, a game, thats just flat out wrong. Cartwright's NATURAL ABILITY, plus some hard work, got him into the NFL. not any savvy business decision

Chris Cooley just had a signing today at the Marriott in Williamsburg VA.

Each person could get up to 3 items signed for free.

Now how much is this Rock Cartwright signing again?

Thanks for the info though.

[skinsfan_nn]

That's GREAT, just as it should be,FREE! Most normal people would not argue such a dumb point. The Capt. will also be there tomorrow FREE NO CHARGE, THANKS CC, your greatly appreciated for spending DAYS of your time FREE of charge, to the FANS THAT SUPPORT YOU. ALL FREE!

I'm agree with dmek, I'm not paying for a graph from ANY player. They already get bunches of my cash via season tics, hats/jerseys, concessions, etc. That's were MY buck stops.
