So I had a graduation announcement left over, and figured what the hell, I'll send one to Sam Bradford. He responded! On the envelope it said that it was postmarked through Oklahoma City. It's a generic letter, except the end, where he congratulated me. Either way, it's awesome that he/his secretary did that. I'm impressed. Go Rams!!

It seems Sam has a lot of class in areas other that the football field

It’s the fact that he set up an organization to respond to things like says a lot-

damn

I shoulda done that, but I graduated in 09 so I don’t think Bulger would have responded lol. O well. Congrats dude, Sam is impressing me off-field and on.

well, Bulger would have tried to send it to you

but the letter would’ve been incomplete or intercepted.

Good question

That’s really cool though. When I graduate college, I’ll send a letter to SJax to see if he replies.

Pettis is gonna be a good one. BLAM!

Sam's a class act, through and through

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it!

Hell, my dad was pretty impressed when I showed him the letter, and he can’t even remember what my favorite teams are half the time (even though there are reminders of Rams and Beavers EVERYWHERE).
I am very impressed with Sam, he’s a stud. I just sent the letter to the general Rams address, something like Attn: Sam Bradford, One Rams Way, St. Louis, MO; I guess they got it to him, cause it was sent back from OKC.
I honestly was next expecting it, so it was an awesome surprise last night.

Does Sam have any..

brothers/cousins/uncles that can play OLB, S, OG, RB, and/or DT?

by mcihaelT on May 18, 2011 11:41 AM CDT reply actions

Congrats

I imagine Sam has a secretary or publicist that sorts through his fan mail and ensures everyone gets a response but the fact they took the time to mention your graduation is a nice touch. Sending a graduation announcement is unique enough that it would have been something Sam would have been made aware of. Is that an actual signature ora facsimile? If Sam takes the time to personally sign his correspondence that’s a classy touch. Generally most players will respond to their fan mail which surprises me.

by Sggladden on May 18, 2011 11:51 AM CDT reply actions

it's a facsimile, but I'm happy regardless

one day I’ll get a real one…on mah jersey

hey its all good in my eyes! in this day, and age where were seeing pro athletes going BANKRUPT!...

because they have to live by a certain code. live the rapper/thug life. no diamond studded necklace/bracelets are too much, if you dont have “at least” 18 cars? tricked out? your nothing! mansion (s), women, jewelry, it all sounds good…for a little while. thats why i see sam as the anti-athlete. as in, he seems like the type of guy that wouldnt go stupid with his money. seems like a concervative dude. pacman jones, and the rest of those knotheads, should take a page out of sam.

78 million dollars

biggest expense: Ping Pong Table

you don’t need to have a doctorate in Economics to realize he has a little spending money.

All I’m saying is…Bradford…buy a Ferrari, or a Bentley, or both. You can still save the other 77 million you will have left.

only 50 is guaranteed though, right?

I’m sure he’s bought a house or something, but he probably doesn’t want to come off as that guys that signs the biggest contract in history and immediately blows a chunk of it on unnecessary things i.e. makin it rain on dem hoes.

What the hell...

He sent me the exact same letter…And I didn’t graduate from the Univ of Alaska.
For the record Serg, I am also a fan of the Rams and Beavers (maybe a different Beaver than the one you support though).
Cheers
