What an awesome chance for us Giants fans. Wished was closer, but those who are will enjoy this.Thanks for the opportunity and for bringing us closer to the game!
Looks like a fun promotion for those who can attend, it will be interesting to hear what he has to say about his first time on an NFL sideline during a rivalry game like Giants/Cowboys. Thanks Tracy!
Can’t wait , I’ll be there!
Just an FYI.
Went to the signing on Tuesday.
Usually these are haphazard, have poor communication and generally not fun.
Ryan was very personable; chatted with people; shook hands and posed for photos.
Even with all this it went very smoothly and was FUN! Shouldn’t it be 🙂
Even those who I believe were Panini rep’s were very personable and accommodating!
KUDO’S to Modell’s and Panini for a very enjoyable time.
I only wish other store’s would follow their lead.
PLEASE do some more in the future!
