Attack of the Silent Fans

There are tons of real fans here, obviously. But what I don't get are the automaton sheeple who see a coach/player/front office executive and proceed to swarm and stick pens and objects into their faces for them to sign. I mean, it's like a silent feeding frenzy. Poor Dom Capers walked out of a room, walked about 5 feet, and was besieged by silent people sticking things in front of him for him to sign. I mean, tell the guy how happy you are that he is here (which I did, and wished him luck on the upcoming season) ANYTHING. But these people just wait, get the autograph, and move on, trying to find their next prey.

Oh - and Corey just stopped by to tell me he met James Campen. Did I mention this place is like Packer Geek HEAVEN....?

Well, I guess it's better than the jerkwad who got in TTs face last year to say ARod was going to take us to the toilet bowl

Some skiers operate on a "dollars per run"
(DPR) system, trying to get the most out of their exorbitantly-priced lift tickets; maybe the "silent fans" have adapted this to
their Fan Fest experience--"dollars per
autograph" (DPA). I'm not defending it, I'm just sayin'...

Subsitute "Stupid" for "Silent"

On twitter they'd be Twidiots.

I hate the whole autograph scene. I don't get them at all. I'll take a pic with a Packer any day.
