Kerry Collins...
For those of you who don't know...I created a facebook profile for Kerry Collins a couple of months ago as a joke with some friends. I left comments on friends pages and they left me comments. It was all in good fun. I didn't think about the number of friends requests and messages I would receive from Collins fans. I would like to post some of the more fun messages I have received. I would also like to note that I have replied to EVERY single person who has sent a message or friend requested me that I am not the real Kerry Collins and was simply making a joke with some friends so as not to make them think that the real Kerry Collins is ignoring them...this is because I have received many requests from old acquaintances and even teammates of Collins. Onto the show...
*I have a TON of "please write something on my wall" requests like this one...
"Just moved to Nashville from KC and you were my favorite even there! I'd be honored if you'd write me a hello on my wall...in fact I'd probably freak! ;)."
*I also have a TON of "we went to PSU and you kind of know somebody of somebody that I knew and good luck!" like this...
"Hey, Kerry! We still love you. Two '91 PSU grads here and my sister-in-law, *** ****, was a buddy of yours in Happy Valley. Continued success....you are a comeback kid!!"
and this...
*Someone who works in advertising for the 49ers...

"Kerry,
A blast from the past. I was Kyle Brady's tutor when you lived across the hall from him sophomore year. It's been great watching your career--you have done PSU proud!"

*Someone who works in advertising for the 49ers...
"Hey Kerry,
We met when I was working at the 49ers...after all these years, I'm still rooting for you!!!"
*People claiming to be Kerry's family (gold diggers obviously :-p) and seeking him out on facebook...
"Hi Kerry,

"Hi Kerry,
I have been wanting to get in touch with you for years!!! You are my 4th cousin ~ Honest!! My Mother (Portia Klingerman and Aunt Phylis Capretti are first cousins). My family and I live in Forest/Wakefield, NC. Hope to hear from you!!"
*Lendale White maybe?
*People who now live in Kerry's old homes (small world isn't it?...I guess so...)...
"I went to Penn State 1990-94. You were friends with my room-mate Michelle Minotti and her boyfriend, Greg Troxell. My neighbor's brother lives in your old house in Basking Ridge. Small world isn't it?"
*People who went to High School with Kerry...
"Kerry--You are kicking ass this year! I am proud to have known you since high school. I still have a senior prom pic of you somewhere! LOL!"
*Oh yeah...there are haterz too...
"Ray Ray and the Ravens are comming to your house. It will be the same result as it was in the super bowl.....LETS GO RAVENS !!!!!"
*I get a BUNCH of offers about Kerry's music which I didn't know he actually took part in...
"I understand you love writting music, I know your really busy right now, but when you have time I want to get together for a chat. I am doing some great things in Nashville, live downtown in a small penthouse. I want to see if you would like to participate in some.
I have recently worked with Tommy Cash, John's younger brother building the " Johnny Cash Memorial" in Dyess Arkansas.
I am going to be working with Martina doing a Red Cross FundRaiser later this year, call me when you can...(he goes on to give his email, phone number and myspace account)."
*There are a ton more but this is my favorite...
"Thanks for helping me carry that Keg upstairs sophomore year."
A very interesting thing to say the least. I've considered deleting the account (I'd rather not get an email from Kerry Collins lawyer saying "please shut this down") but I think I'll hold off until after the football season just because this has been kind of nifty to watch.
