In case you did not hear about the prank Evan pulled on a few national writers here is a link. He was so gracious enough to send me the fake receipt and have it encapsulated by PSA. Chris Olds(also being an Alabama alum) asked me to do an interview at the National about this work of art.

    Awesome piece Kirk!!!

    Evan sent me a pic of this and I was dying! What a tremendous item!

    So cool!

    Great gesture Evan! I like instead of being afraid of the media and what the media can do to him, Evan is the one who had turned the table and has the media on their toes. Keep it up! I love the collectible and glad that a 'Bama fan/CU member has it.

    Nice Kirk. It was great seeing the receipt in person at the National.

    Great of Evan to send it to you. Now you'll need to help him on his next prank although I think it may be a lot harder to pull off now.

    Evan just got taken off the field.

    I hope he is okay.

    Positive thoughts from the CU Community!!!

    From NFL.COM:

    Eagles guard Evan Mathis left the game with an apparent left leg injury when LeSean McCoy was tackled into him late in the second quarter. Mathis was helped to the sideline, then carted to the locker room.

    Prayers heading your way Evan ... hope it is nothing serious.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    The only NFL player I follow is Evan and I just hope he can quickly recover from this injury.

    Nice to see you in the magazine.

    This is a great story! I remember the media coming down hard. I didn't know it was a prank until 5 minutes ago. Funny and cool on so many levels. Congrats Kirk!

    Very cool article. This is an SMR that I will file on the bookshelf for safe keeping with my SMR magazines of Dpeck and thenavarro. I really enjoy when our CU members are featured. Hoping to see you on the field soon Evan!

    That was a fun read.

    I'm looking forward to seeing "Rage" back on the field and putting the smackdown on the Panthers come November 10th. image
