It's ok. I get it. I'm 28 years old, so I should WAAAAAYYYYY over the whole autograph thing, but I'm not. I have many collectibles, and to me, having them signed makes them that much better. This will probably make me look worse in your eyes, but I actually do collect these for my own personal collection (and NOT sell them on EBAY like many others do).
Anyways, my brother and I have been HUGE Randy Moss fans going back to his rookie year with Minnesota. I won't lie and tell you that I followed him since college. I didn't, and I don't really watch college football anyway. I've been trying to get his autograph for three years, and finally I found success on the first day of training camp 2010.
I get it, it's sad, but this was a special Patriots moment for me and my brother in our Patriots fandom.
