So we all know that Jeff is the biggest Bear fan ever, well we have this Chicago sports channel on our TV so Jeff can watch all the pre and post game shows and interviews they do. So on this channel after games you can send emails in with comments and they post some on the screen and comment on some as well. So this particular game Jeff sent one saying how he named his son Briggs after the best linebacker the bears have right. So they brought this up on the show and were talking about it and Jeff thought is was awesome. Then few days later they were doing a interview with Lance Briggs and brought this email up again and asked Lance what he thought about Jeff from Millville naming his son after him. Lance said he thought it was an honor to have him named after him and that he is sure he will be a great young man someday. Jeff thought this was the coolest thing ever and decided this might be a great way to get a autograph. So he emailed the guy that hosts the show and asked what would be the best way to maybe get an autograph from Lance Briggs. So he emailed us back and said send what you want autographed and he would see what he could do but could not promise anything. So we sent a picture and a football and then sent a couple pictures of Briggs so he could see him. He autographed everything we sent. The look on Jeff's face was priceless as he opened the package. Someday when Briggs gets older hopefully he will think it is really cool to have an autograph of who we named him after.
