Seeking autographs at training camp are sad,creepy, and pathetic.

Not the ones who come down to the fence after watching practice but the ones who sit at the fence the whole practice and scream for players 10 years their junior and calling then sir and Mr.

I think that if they're calling them sir and Mr that at least those adults were raised with manners and some class.

Nothing wrong with any person of any age trying to get an autograph of his favorite player or players imo

Now if said adults are shoving little kids out of the way, then I do have a serious problem with that!

All you need to do is bring your kid or a neighbor's kid and it is all legit. You get to be a hero to the child and get some autographs.

[Panthro]

No it's weird. If it was their favorite player they'd also watch them practice. But there they sit...

I don't call anyone younger than me sir or Mr. but I do to anyone older than me

Most of them are probably looking to resell them. But why anyone wants an autograph in the first place is beyond me. Then again, some of these people swear to rage if Medlock doesn't start. Some people take this team and sport wayyyy too seriously.

Yeah I was standing near the field yesterday and got ass raped by what felt like 12,000 penis's from old folks trying to get auto's.

I'm like back the hell off.

Was the guy that was yelling Mr. an older guy trying to get a helmet signed?

[XClown1986]

I think of sir or Mr.as a sign of respect not a tier system based on age.

I'm ok with autographs. It makes for nice memorabilia but what I witnessed was pathetic

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I think it's fricken weird to see a man 3x my age (20) yelling out Mr. Smith, Mr. Smith let me shake your hand.

I've heard a lot of negative comments about adults asking for or and trying to get autographs for themselves. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it. It is the adults that are buying the tickets, paying for overpriced parking, drinking the overpriced beer in the stadiums, buying the overpriced paraphernalia, vehicle stickers, tags on the front of our vehicles and so forth. I have never gotten an autograph from anyone, but I would not feel bad about asking for an autograph from a player on my favorite team that I support.

No offense, but if you, like the rest of us, post on a message board specifically about this team, you're also guilty of taking this team and sport very seriously.

Yeah autographs are cool, but I feel like I'm beyond that now at my age. Dick LeBeau played golf at my club this year and I could've easily gotten an autograph, but I just said I'd like to shake hands with a hall of famer and joke about him being the godfather of the 3-4. He smiled and we talked a little football. He had nothing but praise about Cam.

I agree...but these people weren't watching practice
