Did Al Harris Take Out An Ad In The Journal Sentinel?

[Scott Campbell]

I read that he made a gesture like the one Aaron Kampman made when he left town. Did anybody see it?

[MJZiggy]

I'd like to see that too.

Other players, in the past, have made different gestures on the way out of town...

By the way, Al's website is still COMPLETELY green & gold.

The love is mutual, Al. Best of everything in your warm new home.

That about brings a tear to my eye.

Very cool! Al is a great guy - and a great Packer.

Al has a smart agent. The rehab videos were genius. This is more of the same, and follows the path pioneered by a number of agents who have worked on humanizing their clients, building their relationships with the fan base. Good job Mr. Bechta!

OK, OK, I'm being sarcastic; but I'm certainly not going to get all teary eyed and choked up over this! More and more athletes are doing it; it will soon become commonplace....and then meaningless.

That's true, Patler, though a bit cynical. There's nothing that suggests Harris is being insincere here. It's a classy thing to do, even if it is also in his own best interests.

I agree, except we don't even know if he did it himself, or if his agent called and said, "Al, this is what we are going to do...." It could be sincere, but not conceived by Harris himself. Or, it could simply be something that he decided to do on his own.

Athletes careers are really small businesses (some not so small) and good agents handle them that way.

For all the work that Al has done (e.g., Make-A-Wish, etc.) I'd take this as a sincere move.

His work ethic with the Packers was always very classy as well. I wish him the best with his new team.
