Dak Prescott is being accused of using a machine to sign his autograph for memorabilia company selling to collectors instead of signing himself.

An authentication service has refused to verify the Dallas Cowboysquarterback's signature in a recent card set.

Steve Grad, principal authenticator of Beckett Grading Services, said his company personally looked at five autographed cards from collectors who received a Prescott autograph redemption in Panini's 2016 Prizm set.

"They had a very machine-like feel," Grad said. "You could see the starts and stops."

Atlanta Falcons first-round draft pick Takkarist McKinley were not actually signed by him.

The company promised to send authentic autographs to customers that returned their McKinley signed cards.

Wouldn't doubt it. Coming from Mara / Goodell dictatorship.

Dumb, this is a non issue and won't result in anything.

 

[jazzcat22]

So if a player is the one operating the machine. Can that be considered a technical way to sign.
It's not like some sales clerk is in the back room doing this.
LOL.

Is this some the NFL could punish Dak for?

It's really not a coincidence in my opinion. We have opened with the Giants almost every year and there is always someone suspended for it. Who's next? Zeke? Gosh I hope not!

 

[DeaconMoss]

Is this some the NFL could punish Dak for?

Yes.

"Conduct that undermines or puts at risk the integrity and reputation of the NFL, NFL clubs, or NFL players"

Dak will get a 1 game for this. Miss the opener. Just happens to be the Giants.

Stupid Commander fan keeps tagging me whenever there is a story about a Cowboy player on FB. Like idiot I can see it for myself.

Seriously it feels like this off season has been a distraction. Not that it has been, but man it sure feels like it.

Cut him. Bring back Romo

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

If true that's pretty lame on Dak's part.

 

[DallasEast]

Cut him. Bring back Romo

Golf courses are the only things Romo will be tackling in the near future.
