Paint their face?
CD: Yeah, it's awesome to see that and to know that the fans support you and believe in you. It feels like the people are behind you and it gives you a little sense of home.

Bring a sign?
CD: If there is a certain player you're trying to get the attention of, you have a better chance with a sign than without one. When I'm playing games, I can't help but read the different signs. The big signs with the replica of our faces are pretty great. When people have a passion for a certain player, players are able to notice that.
