birdz4i Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 NEW YORK -- The NFL is showing appreciation for its fans after the lockout by having each team present a personalized jersey to 90 supporters.Some teams will have the 90 fans run through the tunnel flanked by players and coaches during a preseason game. Other clubs will hold a pregame ceremony before an exhibition.The Green Bay Packers kicked off the program Saturday during a special practice and scrimmage at Lambeau Field.In a release announcing the program Monday, Commissioner Roger Goodell said: "This is an opportunity to recognize the millions of fans for their dedication and passion for the NFL, its teams and players throughout the year."My link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderCookie Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 As much as I love our owner and organization, I am pretty sure that the Falcon's 90 will be based on who has the most expensive tickets.Just like the last time the Falcons showed their appreciation. Lower levels got awesome giveaways and the upper level got 10% off coupon to Aaron's Rentals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have anything to do with ticket price or ST loyalty. It's about as random as random can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrieu22 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Im going ahead and volunteering to be one of the 90... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdz4i Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 how about dropping ticket prices so you don t need to sell a kidney or take out a loan to go to a game w/ your family or friends. that would be the ultimate move towards fan appreciation.

muskokas finest © Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I rather see Goodell and DeMaurice Smith suit up for special teams practice and have them re-enact the classic wedge-buster role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power I Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I don't get it. I knew there were going to be some fans a little peeved about the whole situation, but what are you entitled to? What did you actually miss this offseason that really impacted your life? There was still a draft, still all but one preseason game, still a training camp...if you would've gone out of the country for the summer and come back now you would never know anything happened.

Lower levels got awesome giveaways and the upper level got 10% off coupon to Aaron's Rentals.That's BS. I've been in the lower levels since 99 and I havn't won a **** thing. I also sit too close to the field to get t-shirts from the cannon folks and the cows never make it down to me. :angry: Edited August 8, 2011 by ltstorm2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.F.W.O. Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Appreciation to MILLIONS of fans = 90 shirts x 32 teams, 2880 is not MILLIONS! :lol: Say Goodell, might you need an accountant? their math is all wrong! :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandy Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 How about not blacking out any games this year?You should send him an email or a tweet and suggest that. That gesture alone would go further than many other things they could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~SEAMILL~ Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Some guy that cant name 3 players on the team will get selected. Business type folks. reminds me of the commercial... Cant anyone tell me what inning we're in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papi Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Could care less about a jersey! They ought to fully discount all the pre season games and eat the cost. Wouldn't hurt to reduce the cost for STH that have been loyal for x amount of years or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb4242 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 90 fans to "recognize the millions of fans for their dedication and passion for the NFL". BS, if I'm not one of the 90 recognized by my team, then I'm more pizzed off than ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
