ha!  So how did you end up getting to play in that game anyway? 

they had people bid for the right to play in the game...i had no idea how much to bid so i went with $75.  i guess they picked the top 10-12 bidders & i was one of them.  unfortunately for our team, most of the other high bidders looked as if they had never seen a basketball before.

That's a hefty price to pay just to play a b-ball game but I'm guessing the money goes to charity so it's not that bad.  Besides, you get to play some hoops with a few Eagles and I'm guessing/hoping that they were open to signing some auto's after the game.

the game was a fundraiser for a sick child.  his father organized the game along with FHF.  and yeah, they signed a ton of stuff before and after the game.  they were all really friendly...joking around with us, letting kids from the crowd shoot their free throws during the game, posing for pictures, etc.
it was definitely worth it.

i got along fine with th3answer...he was one of the few who actually knew how to play hoops.

[Sgt PSN]

Iverson was there too?  Didn't know that. 

[Dillen]

th3answer is someone from the EMB.

[Sgt PSN]

I shoulda known better. 

[Dillen]

Dumbass.

[Sgt PSN]

At least I don't get stuffed by the rim.

It goes to the Eagles rookie salary pool.

I just got done reading details of that game & it looks like $75 was a bargain to play against those guys. A lot of fans would pay just that much have something signed, so to be able to be physically man-handled by them, then have them sign your stuff/pose for pics, was worth 4 times that amount.

That's what I was thinking BM.  You go online to ebay or even a memorabilia site like Tri Star or Steiner Sports and you're going to pay a couple hundred bucks to get an autographed football or something from a pro athlete without even meeting them.  And if you go to a show, you usually have to pay an admission fee and then an autograph fee which will run you just as much, if not more than $75 and you only get to stand there and talk to the guy for as long as it takes him to sign your item before you're told to move along.

so to be able to be physically man-handled by them,... was worth 4 times that amount.

Uhhh...

Don't front.  You'd pay $75 for the opportunity to polish Sheldon Brown's mud nickle and you know it.
