Hey Chris...what was the turnout like for this? Being Easter weekend, I don't know that I would have expected to see a ton of people there (vs. a normal weekend), but maybe there was.

Congratulations. Obviously not everyone shares your opinion. If you don't care for him, then don't post in threads like this about him.

So you bash Cam Newton in every thread possible, but if someone makes a factual statement about DJK you jump all over him? Makes sense.
 


It disgusts me that parents take their children to get an autograph from DJK. What a great role model for your kids!

I would hardly say he jumped all over Chosen. Cam Newton and DJK aren't even comparable. DJK did drugs, which was stupid, but he wasn't a cheater. Cam is a complete fraud, and I hope he fails in the NFL.

I bash Newton's character and ability in threads that pertain to his success in the NFL. This is a thread about an autograph signing. It has NOTHING to do with his abilities or his character (or how that character might affect his success in the NFL).
 


The event was great! Great turnout.. I got there 30 min before it started and there were about 60 people already there and by time the signing started there was well over 100 people there.. DJK was great.. He embraced the chance to talk to each fan which made the line move slow but well worth it.. People make mistakes.. He understands his mistake. He got caught up in the "party scene" and gave into his friend's temptation. There are few people who can say that they have not made any mistakes in life especially when you were in college or in early 20s.. Everyone needs to stop judging him. Also you can tell he loves children. He was smiling and waiving to all the children that were waiting in line to see him and once they got their turn and he them hugs and took pictures with them. I am too dissappointed with how his career ended with the drugs but that does not change all the memories he gave us on the field and what kind of person he truly is.. Just keep that in mind.. I hope that he gets a chance in the NFL because he should..
