Hey 81, What did you say to Lloyd to have him tell you to **** off? I'm sensing a story behind this.
My company procures football players for retail autograph sessions (2hrs each event). Players fall in tiered categories for that 2hr length. $1-2K, $3-5k, $8-10k, $15k+
Kickers, punter, ST players are the lowest tier. Next tiers are former players that were not stars, but may have been beloved by the fan base. next tier is retired Stars and current players (non stars). Highest tier are rostered stars. I'm sure it isn't cheap to secure AB for a 2hr signing. As a procurer, if he shows up late and/or leaves early and doesn't do the full 2hr commitment, we can withhold some or all of that player's payment as a penalty. The only Steeler I've worked with was Franco. We have been working with NYG Ruben Randall, Amani Toomer, PHI Celek, ARI Andre Ellington, 49ers Joe Staley and Raiders Latavius Murray the last couple seasons. Most were good people, hard working, and were great with. Ruben Randall got caught in traffic in his limo, and it took him an extra hour to get on site. We entertained the crowd, and bought them all gatorades. He stayed late to fulfill his obligation.
Usually former players are the best to work with. They're very appreciative and generally have great people skills. JPP on the Giants, we did a rookie event with Pepsi Max for him. He was a complete douche. Disinterested, unappreciative, and rude. I'm not sorry that it took him a loss of a couple fingers to get him a tad more humble.
