Just one more...

Brad officially has a new obsession... Autographs!! It all started in February at the Bass Master Classic. Before we left for New Orleans I get a call that Brad and John (his BF) are going to Hobby Lobby to make a special card holder. Don't call me prejudice but two boys in Hobby Lobby made me laugh. Then I come home to the two of them asking me if we own baby powder as the need to specially rub the fishing cards so the sharpie autograph will be a better quality. All I could do at this point was crack up with their silly obsession. Fast forward us being at the Classic me hiding everywhere we are at as Brad is getting every one's autograph. Literally he got EVERYONES autograph, we would be in mid conversation and he would run over to have someone sign something. He even held up our tour bus to get some one's autograph. I will say that the fishing world appreciates the autograph love and we did get lots of free stuff because of him knowing everyone and every detail of their professional and private life. It all ended for him at the Classic with KVD (Kevin Van Dam) autograph on special Allan and Ginter cards. Brad was the only one to get his autograph right after his million dollar win. Brad was shaking, smiling and over all in dis-belief he pulled it off.

Right after winning the Classic

Pure joy that he was the the only one to pull off the autograph

It continued in the Spring when he went with John early to the Rockies game to get autographs. There is a special "society" as I will refer to it. This society is OBSESSED with the Colorado Rockies and get to the games 4-6 hours before to stand in the shade in the hope of the players pulling over in there cars before they park. I can't lie I have partook in the society but have always felt creepy doing so like a stalker. One member in the society even knows all the players cars! Back to the topic at hand. The first time Brad partook in the autograph activities who does he get... Troy Tulowitzki's autograph on a ball. This is the same player that will be a Colorado Rockie for life, he is definitely an all star here in Denver. And so it began a summer full of autographs and obsessions.

Fast forward to us a day on Pearl Street mall. Brad found a free magazine with a title "Who does Denver love Best, Tim Tebow or Troy Tulowitzki?" I saw his face and officially knew the autograph hunt was on. Brad set the goal to get both of their autographs on the front. Tulowitzki he knew was going to be much easier with knowing all the tricks from the special society. Sure enough it took Brad and John one game day and Brad pulled off getting Tulowitzki to pull over in his pimped out Camero and vola one down one to go. Tebow was Brad's unicorn and he was in for the challenge.

Note-Definition in autograph world for unicorn: someone who is near impossible if not impossible to get there autograph.

Brad devised his game plan that the only chance for Tebow's signature would be during Training camp. For those of you who don't live in Denver, Tebow is CRAZY popular here with a HUGE fan base. We went to the practice at Mile High first, Brad patiently wanted for practice to end to start the hunt. Unfortunately he had no luck that day. The following week we went to Dove Valley for the first time for training camp. First thing Brad said to me when we woke up was "today is the day". We sat through 4 hours of practice, sun in our eyes, 95 degree weather when much to every one's surprise all the quarterbacks started to sign autographs for fans. There was a scary mad dash with girls screaming and pushing to get close to Tebow. Brad was in the thick of it while I took my normal hiding stance. Tebow only signed for 20 minutes and guess what... BRAD DID IT! He got his unicorn! He was so happy and giddy about it.

The prized possession soon to be framed

We went to the first Bronco's preseason home game and what did we do after, you guessed it... We got autographs. There will always be a new quest Brad will be working on and I will always be in the corner chuckling and shaking my head hearing, "Just one more!"
