I won't be shocked if NFL bans Cam's TD tradition

Its really not about danger. There is an element concerning danger that has been mentioned.

 

But from a purely business standpoint, I wouldn't  be surprised if the league banned it as well.

 

Why? Because we as a  nation have grown accustomed to me me me. One kid gets a ball , and it means umpteen number of other kids didn't. This is not a situation where a ball is kicked and not caught by the net in the stands. Its one where a star player selectively chooses one kid of another, or one fan over another. One fan happy in getting a ball is 30 more fans pissed they didn't get it.

 

I know and agree its stupid, but its the nature of business. Making one person happy at the expense of 30, 40, 100, 1000 others is a big no no. Of course it isn't an "expense" really , but fickle people that think they deserve a ball see it that way. If i paid big money for me and my family to be placed in the front row in prime spot to possibly get a ball,only to see it given away to some kid that ran down from the cheap seats....I might be pissed as well.

Are you serious!?

You think people would get that upset they didn't get a ball and hold a grudge.

Shoot! If that's the case: Companies, would stop giving away free stuff (which they do all the time to promote stuff), cause they almost always never have enough. 

Hell! Wouldn't people get mad for not winning various contest and lotteries (yes, we know it's random, but only a few win). Just think about Radio contest (who calls in first; the 110th caller, etc..).

So you are one of those "me me me" persons that you were just describing as being stupid???

I could see they limiting it to one ball a game. Even though the NFL makes so much money they'll do whatever they can to save some. Those balls are expensive 

For some reason, I thought the NFL already fined players who gave balls away?  I just always thought Cam did it anyway.  Shows how much I know.

Common misconception. There's fines for throwing balls into the stands, not handing them.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
