Speaker 1 (00:00):
I would like to find somebody. Actually, I'd like to
find two subsets of people. Somebody who has an NFL
game used football ball that was not a practice football
but a game used football.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Will I be able to find anybody? I should? I should?
I should be able to find somebody who has a
game used football. I would think.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Now it gets kicked into the stands, inadvertently thrown in
on site.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, people buy them as part of memorabilia.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
No no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I don't want that. I don't want that. I want
somebody who got the ball at the game. So it
gets kicked into the stands, It gets inadvertently thrown into
the stands a player. A player scores and in celebration,
or if defensive player gets an interception or whatever it is,
and in celebration, throws the ball into the stands, runs
(00:59):
it over and hands it to somebody in the stands.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
That's always cool.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
But yes, somebody who has an NFL game used football
but didn't buy it as part of like a memorabilia
sale or something, but obtained it at the game. At
the game, I think you'll find someone. Let me give
you a subset of that. Somebody who got the ball
(01:29):
but then had to turn it over.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Oh, like an official comes in as like a gimme Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, exactly exactly, so you got the ball again. They
kicked it into the stands. It was flung into the stands,
an overthrow and Aaron pass goes into the stands.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Celebration goes into the stands. But immediately.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Somebody comes over and they're like, okay, hey, you give
it back.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Here's the ball. Here's a different ball.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Different ball.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, a lot of time they'll swap them out.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I was thinking, like in baseball, when they give you
some of the other cool thing.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
No, and in baseball that's only if it's like a
meaningful ball.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
They try to celebrate it.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
But what's the other ball? Something from the gift shop?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
No, like a practice ball? Oh, a team's practice ball.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Okay, not as cool?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, no, nor do I want it? What do I want? Lot?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Well, they did say a lot of people do throw
throw them. I mean you see a baseball all the time.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Oh with opposing team home runs.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Right, Remember I wanted people at hockey games to throw
pucks back on the ice.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
You know who didn't find that funny?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Caps No, don't please don't encourage people throw pucks on
the ice. So anyway, I need somebody who either has one.
But it was obtained at the stadium. And again, like
Tyler said, I didn't go by. I didn't go by.
By the way, can I tangent for a second? Can
I tangent for a second? Commander related?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Because I don't think Tyler knows this, but Diane and
Kristen know this. Did you see the email the other
day about the new saleswoman.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Dawn?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I saw the email. I did not read it.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Oh, so we hired a new sales lady. Her name
is Dawn. I hope I have this right. I hope
I have this right. I did not fact check this.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I only read all the replies. So Dawn, that's her name, right,
nobody's talking she does because she doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
But oh, you know what I'm getting ready to tell Tyler.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
When you're sitting over there chewing on your bottom lips,
you don't talk.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
And it was not covered in that email.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Okay. Is this going to be another hide under the
desk situation like with Megan hot Gaus. Oh, by the way,
so Kristen, I I don't like this stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Somebody's said Megan was weird in here the other day
because she loves the vape anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
And for two seconds we took her away from her device.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The no, like she was just high. But anyway, it
doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Maybe is that TMJ massage?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Anyway? I just had let me get back to the
new Who's got TMJ?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
It was somebody who was accused on a plane of vaping,
but they had to tell their seat mate that heat
and massage for their awful lockjob.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Oh so you're gonna use so you're thinking of that
Milwaukee TV? Anyway? Can I get back to Dawn the
new sales lady.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I don't want to say please. Yeah, I'm really nervous
now she has a kid.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Okay, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Who the kid's father is? No, Freddy Smooth? Do you
know that that's what I was told?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And is that true? I believe so, I gos. Diane
doesn't seem so convinced.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
No, Diane believe the source.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yes, I believe the source. Now if the source has
it wrong, my apologies.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
To be gone and fred Smooth, Wow, we have some
mytory there. Yeah with Fred Yeah and his water bottles
of anyway, the but yeah, she's got a kid and
Fred Smooth's the dad.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
How awesome is that?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
If it's true, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Oh my god, are you kidding? That's great?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Is it something that she's open about? My understanding is yes,
Oh okay, yeah, well I feel better about knowing it. Yeah. No,
I didn't pride that, like, I don't know if Megan's
open about her thing. But I just didn't know if
this was like your story to tell. Well, it's not. Actually,
that's one hundred percent the case.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
That the words not for air were never uttered.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
No, no, no, no, I know that keeps eating there
when Elliott found out. Yes, oh was Kristen? Yes, oh
my god, this is the whole office No except for me.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Yes, now you know.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I don't know. I don't know if the whole office knows.
I don't know if the whole office.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I know about the news sales dawn woman, and I
know who Megan is.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, she's the high one in the back.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Anyway, vaping doesn't get to high if it's your vaping cannabis,
it does.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
It's potc here.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
What is this the Southern Maryland School.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I don't think she's doing it in the office. I
think she does it in the car in the stairwell.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Now, is is this your story to tell?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah? Yeah, anyway, can I get back to my original story?
I need somebody.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I don't even know how I ended up in hot
Gos Corner because of the football connection.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Oh that's right, because Dawn's kid is fathered by friend Smith.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I mean I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Anyway, I need someone who has a football, someone who
has a football line one.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Hi Elliott, good morning. Hey who's this?
Speaker 7 (07:04):
This is Mike.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Hey, Mike, do you have Do you have an NFL football?
Speaker 6 (07:09):
I do?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Can I ask? Can I ask how you got it?
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (07:14):
I bought it from the assistant equipment manager for I'll
say the team Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
See, I'm not going to be able to count that.
I'm not going to be and I appreciate it, and
I bet it's awesome. I bet it's awesome, but I
need it. I needed to be somebody who obtained it
during a play, like you bought it from the guiding
game to like. For example, if I were friends with
Fred Smooth right and Fred was like, oh, hey, I see.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
That you met the woman who has one of.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
My kids, I would be like, yeah, and he was like,
here's a football from when I played. I would have
gotten it from it, but I didn't get it at
the game. Now if Fred had picked off a ball
and scored a touchdown and was like, wow.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
We just threw it into the crowd and I got it.
Now I have a ball.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I do think that's awesome, but I need you to
have gotten it organically.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
Hi, Elliott in the morning, Hey Elliet, how're they're going?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Hey, I'm doing great. Who's this?
Speaker 8 (08:13):
This is Bobby from Jacksonville, Florida.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Hey Bobby, how are things down in Jacksonville? Cold?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Brother, very cold?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, Now listen, Diane, you can't it's Jacksonville cold and
it's cold.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
It's going to be sixty seven today.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Even the forecasters is there are going with.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
It's colder in a witch's Dad, it's in the seventies
this weekend.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Now this weekend it'll warm up. Anyway, What ball do
you have?
Speaker 8 (08:40):
So I just wanted to say, I from what I
know is that it is illegal to own a game
played football studies like throwing to the crowd or whatever,
because of the micro chip inside of the football is
confidential owned by the NFL. So anytime it goes into
the stands or whatever, they go down, they confiscate the
(09:00):
and they replace it with a different ball. Like they
don't allow any any fan to like leave with the
ball like that.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
That is a that is a.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Very common thought after misconception.
Speaker 8 (09:16):
Okay, I thought that was facked.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Okay, No, no, no, And that's okay. A lot of
people do. A lot of people think because the balls
are chipped and there is a lot of information that
is contained in those chips, But that is not true.
As a matter of fact, there is no NFL policy
requiring a game ball to be returned. Now, some stadiums
have policies, but the but the NFL does not have
(09:41):
a policy. And yes, you're right, and that misconception is
is out there that because the ball is chipped, that
there's a lot of info that.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
The league wants that back. But not the case. Not
the case. I'm assuming you got the ball though at
a Jags game.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Uh No, I was more so just calling just so
you know you may have a hard time.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
But no, I didn't know what's anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
So No, No, that's okay, that's all right, that's all right. Hey,
good luck with the cold. Hey you got it. Talk
to you later.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I am seventy four. Oh no, although we're in sixties.
So it's cutting glass next Thursday.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, it's going to be sixty degrees. Where am I going? Kristen? Who?

Colts during the year they went to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 7 (12:38):
It was not at the stadium, but it is a
game news.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Ball and it was.

All right, hold on one second, let me put you
in line with the girl who called with the gloves.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
It does seem like this is sport for hers, no
longer football. Now it's torturing Elliott.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Is there nobody who obtained one that way? There are
a lot of people that think that you can't.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Maybe the next line will count line eight.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Hi Elliott in the morning, Hey Elliott, Yes, sir, here
we go.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
I actually have two Super Bowl played balls. I have
and I have a Green Bay Packer played ball, and
then I have a Mark Moseley ball from way back
in the day that he kicked in one of the Redskins.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Games and did you catch it when it went into
the stands.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
No, he got it after he gave it to me
after the game.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Okay, very good, Thank you sir, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
So I'm reading No, Kristin, I'm not going to go
to line too, I'm not going to do it.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Is it possible that Kristen didn't understand what you were
solictening for.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
She was very busy.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
You understand what I'm looking for? Yeah? Yeah, And she's like, oh,
I've hung up on all events.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So I was reading a story about a lawsuit out
of it's actually an Eagles fan.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
So last year Eagles fan drives up to MetLife Stadium
when the Eagles are playing the Giants, right, Jalen Hurts
And it was a Week fourteen game and the only
reason that they So there's lawsuits around it.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
But let me give you the story.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Week fourteen against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium,
Jalen Hurts found a gap and darted for a ten
yard touchdown run in the third quarter. It made him
the first quarterback to post back to back seasons with
at least ten rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
For that reason, the Pro Football Hall of.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Fame announced that they were going to put something up
in the museum to celebrate that, and they got his uniform.
During the broadcast of the game, it shows Jalen Hurts
running through the end zone and handing the ball to
an Eagles fan who happened to be sitting in the
front row. That guy's name is Paul Hamilton. Hamilton gets
(15:20):
the ball from Jalen Hurts. He says, I'll never forget
that moment, but it's not because he shook hands with
Hurtz when he handed him the ball. Instead, it marked
the beginning of the end of his love for the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And the NFL.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Oh no, Josh, don't listen.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
He's furious, so he says, this is what happened.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Hamilton has now filed a lawsuit against the NFL, MetLife,
the New York Giants, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the New
Jersey State Police claiming false arrest, false imprisonment, assault, battery,
abusive process, and negligence. He has since dismissed the NFL
in the Eagles from the lawsuit, giving Giets no.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
No, no, no, no, no, not at all. He's done
with the NFL.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
He was approached at the stadium by employees after Jalen
Hurts handed him the ball, and they misrepresented and lied,
claiming the football was not his property and that he
was violating the law if he kept it, and demanded
that the football be turned back over to them.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
He did not.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
He says that an alternative gift was offered, but he
didn't want to give up the game ball. When he
tried to leave, the lawsuit says that he was thrown
into a gate and forcibly held against it. The lawsuit
also claims that approximately ten New Jersey State Police officers
swarmed him and threatened to arrest him if he didn't
turn the ball over.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Streakers are treated better.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
He eventually exited the stadium with the ball and still
has it in his possession.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
MetLife wouldn't talk to the reporter.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
How did he get away from all the tops?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
It's not illegal, it's not illegal to do but he said,
in some stadiums.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Some stadiums, some some stadiums will do it.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
This is not one where it is the pivoted.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
They Met Life won't comment.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Which sounds like, well, it's still I guess beated, right,
Oh yeah, yeah, so anything thing that's under and long
we don't comment on. Now, the NFL released a statement.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
There is no league policy requiring a fan to give
back a game ball. Astsk some stadiums may, and it's
not like it's not like a bait and switch where
all stadiums are like that. But the NFL doesn't have
to say they have a policy.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, I get that.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Earlier this season, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes sent
a pass into the first row while playing.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
The Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
The fan who caught it was shown on the broadcast
switching out the game use ball with an employee on
the field. CBS color commentator Tony Romo said it was
a result of the NFL wanting the game balls back
because the data chips inside them, which tracked next gen
stats like speed, acceleration and distance. Said that's what Romo said,
(18:21):
and it turned out that's not the case.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Now, the Chiefs did want the ball back.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Now, I don't know if Arrowhead has a rule that
they must be returned, but Romo's wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
He wasn't in that first year. That's why we gave
him that big contract. A representative from the bill, so
there was a guy at at the stadium in Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
What is that high Mark.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Who had caught several balls in the past and had
been told we want him back. He got one and
he just took the ball and sprinted. He caught one
and just took off and ran.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Oh was that this year?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:59):
That went viral.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, because like the announcer was like and there because
he was wearing a jersey I think it.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Said Milano or something on it. Yeah, and he was like,
there goes Milano.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Ten.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
He's at the tenth throw, fifteenth row, and he hauled
ass necessarical. A representative from the bill said balls are
retrieved by the guest experienced team at high Mark Stadium
and exchanged with an alternative football. Many times, fans will
just throw balls back onto the field.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
A representative for.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
The Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium similarly said fans
are required to return footballs that land in the stands.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Security will assist if necessary. So it sounds like it's
all over the place. Let the fans have the balls.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Every sport baseball, now listen, it happens a lot more
in other sports. And by the way, every NFL, NFL,
every NHL puck is chipped, every one of them. They're logged,
they're chipped. You get the information. The league wants all
that stuff. But if one goes into the stands, it
goes into the stands. Yeah, figure a way around it.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
How many balls that you hear a lot about hockey
pucks and baseballs? How many balls do they have for
each game?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I want to say, it's written in here. It's written
in here. It's a long article.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I assume though the numbers, it's.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Not anywhere after year no baseball or.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Close to where they would run out. No, they're there's
not that many scoring plays.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
No, No, they're not gonna run out.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I think it's seven offensive, seven defensive, and maybe two
additional per team.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I thought i'd be a little more. This says up
to thirty six.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, so that's fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, and then the other
team has theirs, so you're at thirty two, thirty eight. Oh,
here it is teams have a limited number of game balls.
Twelve primary, twelve backup, and three kicking. So that's twelve
and twelve.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Diana's twenty four and then three is twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
And that's per team.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yes, fifty four, you're not running out of balls. Get
over it, by the way. Half the time, and listen,
like the Mahomes one was inadvertently thrown into the stands.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
The the what you call it.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
The kicking sometimes they go The league does get pissed
when players handballs to fans.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Some players get fined. What Yeah, some players get fined.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Do you know how much?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
A couple thousand bucks?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
So what is the reason though, for the restrictions where
they're in place. I need the data from the So
Tony Romo is right.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
No he's not. He's not. I don't understand it. Then
I don't either.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I don't either, by the way, and I'm not I'm
not one of those cheap penny pincher guys. But people
are investing a lot to go to a game. What
a great keep saying exactly. People love catching a baseball, people, listen.
I see it all the time at cash games. People
love getting a puck. But this is gonna completely.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Like if I get one, I just give it to people.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I have so many distort when you see that. Now
I'm moving forward on TV.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, I do the Lambeau leap.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
And then and then here comes Elliott with the football switch.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
It really will kind of spoil what is a fun moment.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, so my and I don't know what is what
is Northwest Stadium?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
What is the what is their policy? Do I get
to keep a football?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
I don't know. We didn't hear from anyone who has
one the no, but.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I know somebody who has gloves from the Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
What is the policy at Northwest stadiums? Where's Adam Peters?
But he even know?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Say again, are these policies actually published on.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
It's like on the back of the ticket where it's
like if you.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Get hit, you're at fault cost Pronounce is saying looking up.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Diane Christen's telling me to go to line five. God
only knows what I'm getting. There's a lot about the
clear bag policy. Let's just so they can see if
you're trying to sneak out a ball.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Hi, elliot in the morning, Hi, can you hear me?
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Yeah? Hi?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Who's this?
Speaker 7 (23:23):
My name is Tim White. I was on I caught
a football in the stand. I heard you guys were
looking for people who caught Thank you?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Where did you catch the ball?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
High school?
Speaker 7 (23:34):
It was a candlestick park in two thousand and eight,
right before I moved out here to the to the
d m D.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Right, so you're at a forty nine ers game and
the ball goes into the crowd.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Did they make you give it back or did you
keep it? Well?
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I was afraid they make me give it back because
in college games, I've been a college game where they
make it take it back. So I caught Randy Boss
through it to me. You got more right down in
my seat the end. I didn't have it, and people
are looking at me, and the refs are looking at me,
and everybody's looking at me, and I'm pretending nothing happened,
and I got to keep the ball.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Dude. That's awesome. Good for you, Good for you. What
was the year?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
What was the year?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What'd you say? It was two thousand and eight, two.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
Thousand and eight at Caount Stick Park. I was in
the front row in the end zone, and it was
one of, you know, the best memories of my life,
right beside the birth of my kids. I still have
the ball, and you know, it's one hundred and eighty
six touchdown ball Randy Moss, and it was just I
love it when they throw the ball out in the
stands because I mean, it was such a great memory.
I get chilled talking about it.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 7 (24:36):
D of the game and I had the ball and
that's and that's.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And by the way, and listen, I get it was
a Randy Moss touchdown and that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
But it could have just been it could have just
been anything but it. But just to have the ball
is pretty freaking cool.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Yeah, it's really awesome. It's sitting right there in my
living room right you know, it's one of my prize possessors.
I love it.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
And nobody from nobody from Candlestick they tried to say
anything or do anything, or you just you.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
Just hit No, no, I hit it. But then I
eventually unhit it and was showing people and nobody tried
to get it from me. And somebody said, oh, in
the NFL, you're allowed to keep them, and so I
was like okay, and I didn't. I didn't hide it anymore.
Now I'm a season ticket holder of the Commanders and
I'm front row end zone because I've got great experience.
(25:23):
I was front row enzone Candlesticks, and now I'm front
row end zone at Northwest Stadium. And I haven't gotten
a ball yet there. But when a kicking ball comes
into the stands, I've seen kicking balls come in the
right and then it's as far as not having a
clear palsy. Sometimes if you return the kicking ball. I
haven't gone a kicking ball, but I've seen people getting
a kicking ball, and sometimes though, if you return the
(25:45):
kicking ball, they'll give you a game ball. But then
I've seen other times where they make you return the
kicking ball and nobody gets anything. So it's like you
got to negotiate.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
That right, by the way, Good on you. You're a
diehard football guy, aren't you.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
Yeah, yeah, it's good for you.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Good for you, all right, my friend, I appreciate it,
Thank you, sir, thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
But that year would have placed it well before any
chipping in the ball.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
There's no the NFL has no policy.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Did Tony Romo blow something that he was supposed to
keep secret?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
What the chips?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
That that's why they want them, But they don't want
to go on record and say.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Why wouldn't you.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Everybody knows the balls are chipped, and everybody knows that
the reason they keep they track it is all for analytics.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Like it's it's not hidden.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah, but the NFL again are they hiding behind certain
jurisdictions policies? But it is really tony.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I don't think said out.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Loud what you were supposed to keep hushed, but I
mean listen.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Like for example, like I told you the pugs are chips,
so are players jerseys?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Players jerseys are chipped? I didn't know that Yeah either, Yeah,
players jerseys are chipped. So do they get upset when
there's a swap between players?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Well, no, because they probably ripped the thing off.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Oh, an equipment manager gets to it before that, I
would imagine, So where's all the information probably downloaded already?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Since that could be Like when OV like swapped with
on j Coepatar? Who else do you just swapped with?
You think copa Tar was like, oh my god, look
at all the career goals I have. This is amazing.
Where am I going? Line three?
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Elliot in the morning?
Speaker 6 (27:28):
How is this mean?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Who's this? Hi?
Speaker 7 (27:31):
This is Page.
Speaker 9 (27:32):
I just wanted to call and tell you that we
had caught a field goal one time and were security
immediately swarmed on us to give it back and like
they wouldn't replace it.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
At all.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Where were you? What stadium were you at?
Speaker 9 (27:46):
We were at the the inaugural XFL game for the
DC Defenders.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Okay, that's that's a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
They probably don't have the bud the ball budget that
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, they've also launched the team a couple of times.
Is it the one way? I was at Sane McMahon.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
Joy, but I had my kid, like, they took the
ball from the kid and everything, and I was like,
you guys are so mean.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, I know, I know. It was a different time,
different time. All right, very good, Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.
Isn't that nuts? Though? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:22):
I know.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I want to know what Northwest Stadium's policy is.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Diane was like, I don't see anything. We're stan Quinn
he would know, right.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I bet he does it. No way, I bet he
does it. Oh, wait, line one, here we go, Hi
Elliot in the morning.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
Dan Quinn, Elliott.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Head reardon, I'm sorry, Yes, who's this.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
Sir?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Oh yes it is.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Hey. Yeah, I just let you know. Back in I
guess nineteen ninety seven, nineteen ninety eight at FedEx Field.
Then worked on the grounds crew and one of the
jobs was after the field goals and extra points. We
would run to pull the.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Nets up right.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
And you go back to talking about how many balls
or in the game. Well, we had an old cable
system didn't work that well, and we continuously messed up
the nets and the balls would constantly fly into the stadium,
and eventually they kind of got tired of that, and
we pretty much all got fired. I also had a
if you go back and look at some video of
nineteen ninety ninety seven, ninety eight ish, you'll see an
(29:26):
abnormal amount of footballs going into the stands at FedExField.
All those fans that caught one there could thank me
for that. But I often do have a game used
ball from actually Skip Hicks. He returned a punt, ran
to the sideline, got tackled, and he tossed me the
ball on the sidelines and no one was ever really
aware of it.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
And thanks cool, good for you, Good for you.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
But do you know, do you know what the current
policy is if a ball goes in at Northwest?
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Does somebody I don't know what the current policy is.
I know they do ask. I don't know if they
if they swap it out. I know back in obviously
nineteen ninety seven, ninety eight ish there. They weren't chipped
back then, so yeah, right, there was a you know,
a major thing as far as the chip goes back then.
But they would definitely, security would definitely go ask. I
(30:12):
don't think it was anything where it was like this
incident in Philadelphia the right, I got.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
You, I got you, thank you. Why don't we just
ask Dawn?
Speaker 3 (30:22):
That would have been pre chip era though, right, Yeah,
but I'm.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Sure she told still talks to Fred. Do you know
that don't know that part of the story
Speaker 4 (30:31):
That wasn't specified to my recollection
I would like to find somebody. Actually, I'd like to
find two subsets of people. Somebody who has an NFL
game used football ball that was not a practice football
but a game used football.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Will I be able to find anybody? I should? I should?
I should be able to find somebody who has a
game used football. I would think.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Now it gets kicked into the stands, inadvertently thrown in
on site.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, people buy them as part of memorabilia.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
No no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I don't want that. I don't want that. I want
somebody who got the ball at the game. So it
gets kicked into the stands, It gets inadvertently thrown into
the stands a player. A player scores and in celebration,
or if defensive player gets an interception or whatever it is,
and in celebration, throws the ball into the stands, runs
(00:59):
it over and hands it to somebody in the stands.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
That's always cool.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
But yes, somebody who has an NFL game used football
but didn't buy it as part of like a memorabilia
sale or something, but obtained it at the game. At
the game, I think you'll find someone. Let me give
you a subset of that. Somebody who got the ball
(01:29):
but then had to turn it over.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Oh, like an official comes in as like a gimme Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, exactly exactly, so you got the ball again. They
kicked it into the stands. It was flung into the stands,
an overthrow and Aaron pass goes into the stands.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Celebration goes into the stands. But immediately.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Somebody comes over and they're like, okay, hey, you give
it back.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Here's the ball. Here's a different ball.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Different ball.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, a lot of time they'll swap them out.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I was thinking, like in baseball, when they give you
some of the other cool thing.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
No, and in baseball that's only if it's like a
meaningful ball.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
They try to celebrate it.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
But what's the other ball? Something from the gift shop?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
No, like a practice ball? Oh, a team's practice ball.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Okay, not as cool?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, no, nor do I want it? What do I want? Lot?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Well, they did say a lot of people do throw
throw them. I mean you see a baseball all the time.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Oh with opposing team home runs.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Right, Remember I wanted people at hockey games to throw
pucks back on the ice.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
You know who didn't find that funny?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Caps No, don't please don't encourage people throw pucks on
the ice. So anyway, I need somebody who either has one.
But it was obtained at the stadium. And again, like
Tyler said, I didn't go by. I didn't go by.
By the way, can I tangent for a second? Can
I tangent for a second? Commander related?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Because I don't think Tyler knows this, but Diane and
Kristen know this. Did you see the email the other
day about the new saleswoman.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Dawn?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I saw the email. I did not read it.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Oh, so we hired a new sales lady. Her name
is Dawn. I hope I have this right. I hope
I have this right. I did not fact check this.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I only read all the replies. So Dawn, that's her name, right,
nobody's talking she does because she doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
But oh, you know what I'm getting ready to tell Tyler.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
When you're sitting over there chewing on your bottom lips,
you don't talk.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
And it was not covered in that email.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Okay. Is this going to be another hide under the
desk situation like with Megan hot Gaus. Oh, by the way,
so Kristen, I I don't like this stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Somebody's said Megan was weird in here the other day
because she loves the vape anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
And for two seconds we took her away from her device.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The no, like she was just high. But anyway, it
doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Maybe is that TMJ massage?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Anyway? I just had let me get back to the
new Who's got TMJ?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
It was somebody who was accused on a plane of vaping,
but they had to tell their seat mate that heat
and massage for their awful lockjob.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Oh so you're gonna use so you're thinking of that
Milwaukee TV? Anyway? Can I get back to Dawn the
new sales lady.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I don't want to say please. Yeah, I'm really nervous
now she has a kid.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Okay, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Who the kid's father is? No, Freddy Smooth? Do you
know that that's what I was told?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And is that true? I believe so, I gos. Diane
doesn't seem so convinced.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
No, Diane believe the source.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yes, I believe the source. Now if the source has
it wrong, my apologies.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
To be gone and fred Smooth, Wow, we have some
mytory there. Yeah with Fred Yeah and his water bottles
of anyway, the but yeah, she's got a kid and
Fred Smooth's the dad.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
How awesome is that?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
If it's true, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Oh my god, are you kidding? That's great?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Is it something that she's open about? My understanding is yes,
Oh okay, yeah, well I feel better about knowing it. Yeah. No,
I didn't pride that, like, I don't know if Megan's
open about her thing. But I just didn't know if
this was like your story to tell. Well, it's not. Actually,
that's one hundred percent the case.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
That the words not for air were never uttered.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
No, no, no, no, I know that keeps eating there
when Elliott found out. Yes, oh was Kristen? Yes, oh
my god, this is the whole office No except for me.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Yes, now you know.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I don't know. I don't know if the whole office knows.
I don't know if the whole office.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I know about the news sales dawn woman, and I
know who Megan is.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, she's the high one in the back.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Anyway, vaping doesn't get to high if it's your vaping cannabis,
it does.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
It's potc here.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
What is this the Southern Maryland School.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I don't think she's doing it in the office. I
think she does it in the car in the stairwell.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Now, is is this your story to tell?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah? Yeah, anyway, can I get back to my original story?
I need somebody.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I don't even know how I ended up in hot
Gos Corner because of the football connection.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Oh that's right, because Dawn's kid is fathered by friend Smith.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I mean I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Anyway, I need someone who has a football, someone who
has a football line one.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Hi Elliott, good morning. Hey who's this?
Speaker 7 (07:04):
This is Mike.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Hey, Mike, do you have Do you have an NFL football?
Speaker 6 (07:09):
I do?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Can I ask? Can I ask how you got it?
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (07:14):
I bought it from the assistant equipment manager for I'll
say the team Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
See, I'm not going to be able to count that.
I'm not going to be and I appreciate it, and
I bet it's awesome. I bet it's awesome, but I
need it. I needed to be somebody who obtained it
during a play, like you bought it from the guiding
game to like. For example, if I were friends with
Fred Smooth right and Fred was like, oh, hey, I see.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
That you met the woman who has one of.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
My kids, I would be like, yeah, and he was like,
here's a football from when I played. I would have
gotten it from it, but I didn't get it at
the game. Now if Fred had picked off a ball
and scored a touchdown and was like, wow.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
We just threw it into the crowd and I got it.
Now I have a ball.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I do think that's awesome, but I need you to
have gotten it organically.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
Hi, Elliott in the morning, Hey Elliet, how're they're going?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Hey, I'm doing great. Who's this?
Speaker 8 (08:13):
This is Bobby from Jacksonville, Florida.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Hey Bobby, how are things down in Jacksonville? Cold?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Brother, very cold?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, Now listen, Diane, you can't it's Jacksonville cold and
it's cold.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
It's going to be sixty seven today.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Even the forecasters is there are going with.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
It's colder in a witch's Dad, it's in the seventies
this weekend.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Now this weekend it'll warm up. Anyway, What ball do
you have?
Speaker 8 (08:40):
So I just wanted to say, I from what I
know is that it is illegal to own a game
played football studies like throwing to the crowd or whatever,
because of the micro chip inside of the football is
confidential owned by the NFL. So anytime it goes into
the stands or whatever, they go down, they confiscate the
(09:00):
and they replace it with a different ball. Like they
don't allow any any fan to like leave with the
ball like that.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
That is a that is a.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Very common thought after misconception.
Speaker 8 (09:16):
Okay, I thought that was facked.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Okay, No, no, no, And that's okay. A lot of
people do. A lot of people think because the balls
are chipped and there is a lot of information that
is contained in those chips, But that is not true.
As a matter of fact, there is no NFL policy
requiring a game ball to be returned. Now, some stadiums
have policies, but the but the NFL does not have
(09:41):
a policy. And yes, you're right, and that misconception is
is out there that because the ball is chipped, that
there's a lot of info that.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
The league wants that back. But not the case. Not
the case. I'm assuming you got the ball though at
a Jags game.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Uh No, I was more so just calling just so
you know you may have a hard time.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
But no, I didn't know what's anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
So No, No, that's okay, that's all right, that's all right. Hey,
good luck with the cold. Hey you got it. Talk
to you later.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I am seventy four. Oh no, although we're in sixties.
So it's cutting glass next Thursday.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, it's going to be sixty degrees. Where am I going? Kristen? Who?
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (10:24):

Speaker 6 (10:28):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (10:29):

Speaker 6 (10:29):

So my friend was an athletic trainer for the Indianapolis
Colts during the year they went to the Super Bowl.
And I have a pair of the NFL gloves that
one of the players discarded because one of the velcrow
didn't fit right.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
So that's awesome. Can I Can I ask you something?

I need somebody who has a ball, and you were like,
I don't, but I'm gonna call until I have gloves.
Speaker 9 (11:06):

You she took a phone line away from maybe.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Somebody that has a ball, Like right now there's somebody
going like, oh god, damn it, it's busy, and then
you hear gloves.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
And you're like that shouldn't have that should have been
my line.
Speaker 3 (12:06):

haven't gotten one yet. Where am I going? Line two? Hi?

Speaker 1 (12:31):
He gave me now when you say he gave it

Speaker 7 (12:38):
It was not at the stadium, but it is a
game news.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Ball and it was.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
So he came to my sports.

Right. So is Kristen doing this on purpose because you
didn't open her gift yet?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
All right, hold on one second, let me put you
in line with the girl who called with the gloves.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
It does seem like this is sport for hers, no
longer football. Now it's torturing Elliott.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Is there nobody who obtained one that way? There are
a lot of people that think that you can't.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Maybe the next line will count line eight.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Hi Elliott in the morning, Hey Elliott, Yes, sir, here
we go.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
I actually have two Super Bowl played balls. I have
and I have a Green Bay Packer played ball, and
then I have a Mark Moseley ball from way back
in the day that he kicked in one of the Redskins.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Games and did you catch it when it went into
the stands.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
No, he got it after he gave it to me
after the game.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Okay, very good, Thank you sir, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
So I'm reading No, Kristin, I'm not going to go
to line too, I'm not going to do it.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Is it possible that Kristen didn't understand what you were
solictening for.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
She was very busy.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
You understand what I'm looking for? Yeah? Yeah, And she's like, oh,
I've hung up on all events.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So I was reading a story about a lawsuit out
of it's actually an Eagles fan.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
So last year Eagles fan drives up to MetLife Stadium
when the Eagles are playing the Giants, right, Jalen Hurts
And it was a Week fourteen game and the only
reason that they So there's lawsuits around it.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
But let me give you the story.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Week fourteen against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium,
Jalen Hurts found a gap and darted for a ten
yard touchdown run in the third quarter. It made him
the first quarterback to post back to back seasons with
at least ten rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
For that reason, the Pro Football Hall of.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Fame announced that they were going to put something up
in the museum to celebrate that, and they got his uniform.
During the broadcast of the game, it shows Jalen Hurts
running through the end zone and handing the ball to
an Eagles fan who happened to be sitting in the
front row. That guy's name is Paul Hamilton. Hamilton gets
(15:20):
the ball from Jalen Hurts. He says, I'll never forget
that moment, but it's not because he shook hands with
Hurtz when he handed him the ball. Instead, it marked
the beginning of the end of his love for the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And the NFL.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Oh no, Josh, don't listen.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
He's furious, so he says, this is what happened.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Hamilton has now filed a lawsuit against the NFL, MetLife,
the New York Giants, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the New
Jersey State Police claiming false arrest, false imprisonment, assault, battery,
abusive process, and negligence. He has since dismissed the NFL
in the Eagles from the lawsuit, giving Giets no.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
No, no, no, no, no, not at all. He's done
with the NFL.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
He was approached at the stadium by employees after Jalen
Hurts handed him the ball, and they misrepresented and lied,
claiming the football was not his property and that he
was violating the law if he kept it, and demanded
that the football be turned back over to them.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
He did not.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
He says that an alternative gift was offered, but he
didn't want to give up the game ball. When he
tried to leave, the lawsuit says that he was thrown
into a gate and forcibly held against it. The lawsuit
also claims that approximately ten New Jersey State Police officers
swarmed him and threatened to arrest him if he didn't
turn the ball over.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Streakers are treated better.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
He eventually exited the stadium with the ball and still
has it in his possession.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
MetLife wouldn't talk to the reporter.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
How did he get away from all the tops?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
It's not illegal, it's not illegal to do but he said,
in some stadiums.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Some stadiums, some some stadiums will do it.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
This is not one where it is the pivoted.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
They Met Life won't comment.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Which sounds like, well, it's still I guess beated, right,
Oh yeah, yeah, so anything thing that's under and long
we don't comment on. Now, the NFL released a statement.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
There is no league policy requiring a fan to give
back a game ball. Astsk some stadiums may, and it's
not like it's not like a bait and switch where
all stadiums are like that. But the NFL doesn't have
to say they have a policy.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, I get that.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Earlier this season, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes sent
a pass into the first row while playing.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
The Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
The fan who caught it was shown on the broadcast
switching out the game use ball with an employee on
the field. CBS color commentator Tony Romo said it was
a result of the NFL wanting the game balls back
because the data chips inside them, which tracked next gen
stats like speed, acceleration and distance. Said that's what Romo said,
(18:21):
and it turned out that's not the case.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Now, the Chiefs did want the ball back.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Now, I don't know if Arrowhead has a rule that
they must be returned, but Romo's wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
He wasn't in that first year. That's why we gave
him that big contract. A representative from the bill, so
there was a guy at at the stadium in Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
What is that high Mark.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Who had caught several balls in the past and had
been told we want him back. He got one and
he just took the ball and sprinted. He caught one
and just took off and ran.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Oh was that this year?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:59):
That went viral.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, because like the announcer was like and there because
he was wearing a jersey I think it.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Said Milano or something on it. Yeah, and he was like,
there goes Milano.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Ten.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
He's at the tenth throw, fifteenth row, and he hauled
ass necessarical. A representative from the bill said balls are
retrieved by the guest experienced team at high Mark Stadium
and exchanged with an alternative football. Many times, fans will
just throw balls back onto the field.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
A representative for.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
The Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium similarly said fans
are required to return footballs that land in the stands.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Security will assist if necessary. So it sounds like it's
all over the place. Let the fans have the balls.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Every sport baseball, now listen, it happens a lot more
in other sports. And by the way, every NFL, NFL,
every NHL puck is chipped, every one of them. They're logged,
they're chipped. You get the information. The league wants all
that stuff. But if one goes into the stands, it
goes into the stands. Yeah, figure a way around it.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
How many balls that you hear a lot about hockey
pucks and baseballs? How many balls do they have for
each game?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I want to say, it's written in here. It's written
in here. It's a long article.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I assume though the numbers, it's.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Not anywhere after year no baseball or.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Close to where they would run out. No, they're there's
not that many scoring plays.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
No, No, they're not gonna run out.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I think it's seven offensive, seven defensive, and maybe two
additional per team.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I thought i'd be a little more. This says up
to thirty six.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, so that's fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, and then the other
team has theirs, so you're at thirty two, thirty eight. Oh,
here it is teams have a limited number of game balls.
Twelve primary, twelve backup, and three kicking. So that's twelve
and twelve.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Diana's twenty four and then three is twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
And that's per team.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yes, fifty four, you're not running out of balls. Get
over it, by the way. Half the time, and listen,
like the Mahomes one was inadvertently thrown into the stands.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
The the what you call it.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
The kicking sometimes they go The league does get pissed
when players handballs to fans.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Some players get fined. What Yeah, some players get fined.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Do you know how much?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
A couple thousand bucks?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
So what is the reason though, for the restrictions where
they're in place. I need the data from the So
Tony Romo is right.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
No he's not. He's not. I don't understand it. Then
I don't either.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I don't either, by the way, and I'm not I'm
not one of those cheap penny pincher guys. But people
are investing a lot to go to a game. What
a great keep saying exactly. People love catching a baseball, people, listen.
I see it all the time at cash games. People
love getting a puck. But this is gonna completely.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Like if I get one, I just give it to people.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I have so many distort when you see that. Now
I'm moving forward on TV.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, I do the Lambeau leap.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
And then and then here comes Elliott with the football switch.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
It really will kind of spoil what is a fun moment.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, so my and I don't know what is what
is Northwest Stadium?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
What is the what is their policy? Do I get
to keep a football?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
I don't know. We didn't hear from anyone who has
one the no, but.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I know somebody who has gloves from the Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
What is the policy at Northwest stadiums? Where's Adam Peters?
But he even know?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Say again, are these policies actually published on.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
It's like on the back of the ticket where it's
like if you.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Get hit, you're at fault cost Pronounce is saying looking up.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Diane Christen's telling me to go to line five. God
only knows what I'm getting. There's a lot about the
clear bag policy. Let's just so they can see if
you're trying to sneak out a ball.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Hi, elliot in the morning, Hi, can you hear me?
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Yeah? Hi?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Who's this?
Speaker 7 (23:23):
My name is Tim White. I was on I caught
a football in the stand. I heard you guys were
looking for people who caught Thank you?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Where did you catch the ball?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
High school?
Speaker 7 (23:34):
It was a candlestick park in two thousand and eight,
right before I moved out here to the to the
d m D.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Right, so you're at a forty nine ers game and
the ball goes into the crowd.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Did they make you give it back or did you
keep it? Well?
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I was afraid they make me give it back because
in college games, I've been a college game where they
make it take it back. So I caught Randy Boss
through it to me. You got more right down in
my seat the end. I didn't have it, and people
are looking at me, and the refs are looking at me,
and everybody's looking at me, and I'm pretending nothing happened,
and I got to keep the ball.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Dude. That's awesome. Good for you, Good for you. What
was the year?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
What was the year?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What'd you say? It was two thousand and eight, two.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
Thousand and eight at Caount Stick Park. I was in
the front row in the end zone, and it was
one of, you know, the best memories of my life,
right beside the birth of my kids. I still have
the ball, and you know, it's one hundred and eighty
six touchdown ball Randy Moss, and it was just I
love it when they throw the ball out in the
stands because I mean, it was such a great memory.
I get chilled talking about it.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 7 (24:36):
D of the game and I had the ball and
that's and that's.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And by the way, and listen, I get it was
a Randy Moss touchdown and that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
But it could have just been it could have just
been anything but it. But just to have the ball
is pretty freaking cool.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Yeah, it's really awesome. It's sitting right there in my
living room right you know, it's one of my prize possessors.
I love it.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
And nobody from nobody from Candlestick they tried to say
anything or do anything, or you just you.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
Just hit No, no, I hit it. But then I
eventually unhit it and was showing people and nobody tried
to get it from me. And somebody said, oh, in
the NFL, you're allowed to keep them, and so I
was like okay, and I didn't. I didn't hide it anymore.
Now I'm a season ticket holder of the Commanders and
I'm front row end zone because I've got great experience.
(25:23):
I was front row enzone Candlesticks, and now I'm front
row end zone at Northwest Stadium. And I haven't gotten
a ball yet there. But when a kicking ball comes
into the stands, I've seen kicking balls come in the
right and then it's as far as not having a
clear palsy. Sometimes if you return the kicking ball. I
haven't gone a kicking ball, but I've seen people getting
a kicking ball, and sometimes though, if you return the
(25:45):
kicking ball, they'll give you a game ball. But then
I've seen other times where they make you return the
kicking ball and nobody gets anything. So it's like you
got to negotiate.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
That right, by the way, Good on you. You're a
diehard football guy, aren't you.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
Yeah, yeah, it's good for you.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Good for you, all right, my friend, I appreciate it,
Thank you, sir, thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
But that year would have placed it well before any
chipping in the ball.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
There's no the NFL has no policy.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Did Tony Romo blow something that he was supposed to
keep secret?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
What the chips?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
That that's why they want them, But they don't want
to go on record and say.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Why wouldn't you.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Everybody knows the balls are chipped, and everybody knows that
the reason they keep they track it is all for analytics.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Like it's it's not hidden.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah, but the NFL again are they hiding behind certain
jurisdictions policies? But it is really tony.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I don't think said out.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Loud what you were supposed to keep hushed, but I
mean listen.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Like for example, like I told you the pugs are chips,
so are players jerseys?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Players jerseys are chipped? I didn't know that Yeah either, Yeah,
players jerseys are chipped. So do they get upset when
there's a swap between players?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Well, no, because they probably ripped the thing off.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Oh, an equipment manager gets to it before that, I
would imagine, So where's all the information probably downloaded already?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Since that could be Like when OV like swapped with
on j Coepatar? Who else do you just swapped with?
You think copa Tar was like, oh my god, look
at all the career goals I have. This is amazing.
Where am I going? Line three?
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Elliot in the morning?
Speaker 6 (27:28):
How is this mean?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Who's this? Hi?
Speaker 7 (27:31):
This is Page.
Speaker 9 (27:32):
I just wanted to call and tell you that we
had caught a field goal one time and were security
immediately swarmed on us to give it back and like
they wouldn't replace it.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
At all.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Where were you? What stadium were you at?
Speaker 9 (27:46):
We were at the the inaugural XFL game for the
DC Defenders.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Okay, that's that's a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
They probably don't have the bud the ball budget that
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, they've also launched the team a couple of times.
Is it the one way? I was at Sane McMahon.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
Joy, but I had my kid, like, they took the
ball from the kid and everything, and I was like,
you guys are so mean.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, I know, I know. It was a different time,
different time. All right, very good, Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.
Isn't that nuts? Though? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:22):
I know.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I want to know what Northwest Stadium's policy is.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Diane was like, I don't see anything. We're stan Quinn
he would know, right.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I bet he does it. No way, I bet he
does it. Oh, wait, line one, here we go, Hi
Elliot in the morning.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
Dan Quinn, Elliott.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Head reardon, I'm sorry, Yes, who's this.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
Sir?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Oh yes it is.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Hey. Yeah, I just let you know. Back in I
guess nineteen ninety seven, nineteen ninety eight at FedEx Field.
Then worked on the grounds crew and one of the
jobs was after the field goals and extra points. We
would run to pull the.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Nets up right.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
And you go back to talking about how many balls
or in the game. Well, we had an old cable
system didn't work that well, and we continuously messed up
the nets and the balls would constantly fly into the stadium,
and eventually they kind of got tired of that, and
we pretty much all got fired. I also had a
if you go back and look at some video of
nineteen ninety ninety seven, ninety eight ish, you'll see an
(29:26):
abnormal amount of footballs going into the stands at FedExField.
All those fans that caught one there could thank me
for that. But I often do have a game used
ball from actually Skip Hicks. He returned a punt, ran
to the sideline, got tackled, and he tossed me the
ball on the sidelines and no one was ever really
aware of it.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
And thanks cool, good for you, Good for you.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
But do you know, do you know what the current
policy is if a ball goes in at Northwest?
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Does somebody I don't know what the current policy is.
I know they do ask. I don't know if they
if they swap it out. I know back in obviously
nineteen ninety seven, ninety eight ish there. They weren't chipped
back then, so yeah, right, there was a you know,
a major thing as far as the chip goes back then.
But they would definitely, security would definitely go ask. I
(30:12):
don't think it was anything where it was like this
incident in Philadelphia the right, I got.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
You, I got you, thank you. Why don't we just
ask Dawn?
Speaker 3 (30:22):
That would have been pre chip era though, right, Yeah,
but I'm.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Sure she told still talks to Fred. Do you know
that don't know that part of the story
Speaker 4 (30:31):
That wasn't specified to my recollection

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
