I talked to Robo the other day when he and Beanie were eating lunch together and asked him about this...he's going to be in Orlando most of the time training. I'm betting that Terry is telling him he really doesn't need the $1K/hour for inscribing his "John Hancock" on items but he needs to be working out for that "payday" come April! It's not like he really needs the money anyway. I'd be shocked if he doesn't do at least a few appearances but would understand if he didn't. From what he said he's not going to be spending much time in Cbus from now on.
Putting a group of these guys together would be great. If I had the money to do it I would. The current promoters running around Beanie and James Laurinaitis are focused on them b/c they bring the most profits in. Same thing with AJ Hawk compared to the other two LB's. If Hawk was not part of the "show" then the crowds were smaller for Bobby and Anthony by far compared to if AJ was included. The "b list" guys get screwed out of the equation so to speak b/c the promoters don't want to work with them. You'll have the MF, MJ, Hartlines etc but they don't want to invest in the others in risking of losing too much. The C Heroes of the world are ONLY in it for THEIR GAIN and not the interest of the player! IF they were in it for the player they'd include them no matter what. I could go on and on about this whole thing but my fingers would cramp. In the end it's sad but true the "b listers" don't draw the crowds but if they could be included when the crowds show up for the "STARS" then it may be of some help. Ok, I better stop!
. They were so dead I even got to talk to malcolm for awhile. Wish I would have brought my camera, but other than that, good times and I hope he kicks ass in the League that pays for play.
I went to cardboard hero's at Polaris . Bought my ticket at the register and a 16 by 20 pic of beanie jumping the ill player . Walked right up and he signed it no line what so ever . He saw my buckeye tattoo on my hand and said that a cool tat . I said thats nothing so i broke out the big guns and showed him my other 6 buckeye tats . he says man those are really cool . He loved it . I told him i hope he gets drafted early but i want him going to my colts . He laughed and said thats your team i said ya i .I SAID I WANT YOU THERE WITH GONZO AND ROY. Was weird that there was no line line at all but hey it worked out great for me.
