| He gets paid millions of dollars to play well and be nice to the fans. Great job on fulfilling your contract Vince!
Seriously, not that hard to write your name 100 times. |

Seriously, not that hard to write your name 100 times. | Where did you get a copy of his contract? I would like to see it because I wasn't aware it had a clause forcing him to stay for an hour in scorching heat to sign autographs. Signing your name a hundred times might not be "that hard" but most players don't do what he did. |

Seriously, not that hard to write your name 100 times. | You do your job out in the heat all day, then stay late and sign your name endlessly. I understand your point but not many of the big name players do this anymore. |

Signing your name a hundred times might not be "that hard" but most players don't do what he did. | The star player and leader of your team who makes the most money on your team should be expected to do that. It may not be written in his contract, but if I'm the Titans owner, that's what I expect. |

| | Raditude | I think you forgot to mention that 10 minutes into the autograph session, he forgot how to spell his name so they had to pull out his emergency signature stamp and ink pad. |
