Finally met Dan Marino!!!


 finally met Dan Marino yesterday one day after my birthday on Wednesday which was like an awesome present, I live in Las Vegas and as some of you might now he has a restaraunt there in the Hooters Casino, and he is part owner of the sports memorabillia store at Caesars Palace in their Forum Shops called Field of Dreams which is where he was at. He seemed like a nice guy but, then again he was specifically there for pictures and autographs from 12-2, I know a lot of people have come accross him and they haven't had the kindest of things to say about him but I guess being bothered every 5 seconds for pictures and autographs most your life can get old. What I will say is that I was very dissapointed in was he couldnt sign anything unless you bought something which I thought was BS, now I'm sure all that has to do with his agent and the company and I brought my own jersey and the guy told its $350 for him to sign it, and the cheapest thing that you could buy was $200. If I lived in Miami I probably wouldnt have bought anything but considering I'm 29 and this was the first chance I got to meet him and I live 3500 miles away  I was like F it, and got the autograph and pictures!!!

200 bones? G'damn

i have heard from several people as well that he is not the most cordial person when it comes to meeting fans. I guess he sucks it up for those events and pretends to like people. lol.

2009 is a year of respect ladies and gentlemen. Lets get it.
