He was the best. He never complained. I did disobey the wife and had him go throughout the show floor with a good friend who I know would never let anything happen to him. There was just times that my knee needed a break and sitting at the autograph pavilion was the cure. He loved joking with my friends and seeing his Blue Jays guys for autographs. And of course, every night, he wanted to go to Raising Canes for dinner.

Don’t think that’s Keto! Good to hear you boys had fun.

The new Topps commercial was hilarious that they debuted at the party. I don't know where they are showing it at, but it was at their booth the next few days.

Premise: Kid goes to card store with his Dad and picks out a Topps Chrome pack. Dad is wiping dishes (good equal opportunity moment) and the kid pulls the 1/1 Ohtani Superfractor. He sleaves it, puts it in a top loader, and puts it away into a cigar box. Years later, he's a Dad and shows the card to his kid. Kid asks what it's worth and the Dad says "everything." Kid asks if he can keep it and after a few seconds of silence, Dad says, "Nah!"

What dumb question did TBP ask?

Why aren’t you going next year?

Yeah. We had to move after the first day as TriStar decided to add more outer booths for the Cool Runnings Cast, the USA Soccer Team, Randy Quaid, and Jerry The King Lawler. We actually setup camp behind the King. My Son is actually in one of the TriStar photos on Facebook they took of Jerry's booth.

I was shocked that he didn't thank them (AKA kiss their butt) for having the Q&A. I don't even remember his question, but Clay of Product Development did bust on him later in the Q&A about his not liking the RC logo that he talked about last year in the Q&A.

I'm done with the show for many reasons; the #1 being TriStar has run it into the ground. They keep changing the VIP packages offered, what you get, same old guests, and then sell 5,000 of them. The lines for what few autograph guests are worth it as a VIP are too long now. The Platinum package sucks no with the same guests just like the VIP ones and this new you get a choice of 5 guys but you don't know who you get until you get to the show. And then the boxer in the Platinum package ended up canceling. The autograph guests are overpriced verse what other shows charge for them. Topps was a total joke this year with that idiot woman in charge of Q&A entrance and the guests. Fanatics is not willing to do deals at all anymore on the memorabilia they bring to the show. None of it is worth it anymore.

I think we are going to see Deadpool & Wolverine Sunday. I've seen the other Deadpool movies, so I might as well see this one. Her daughter has her monthly modeling and acting class from 9:00-5:30, so I figure movie, lunch, maybe hit a few stores, then pick her daughter up and grab something to eat. Hopefully not CiCi's Pizza again.

I was just watching a random youtube video on the biggest blunders in NFL playoff history, and my college friend Brandon Bostick was on it. Still feel bad for him and it's almost a decade after he made that mistake.

believe me....we know how that chief feels

All he had to do was his job and block on that play right? Jordy was there to catch it?

You could just make one big old wall of text instead of 25 mini walls of text, FT.
