Team gets fined everytime they give out a ball.

How much?? I have never heard that. Jerry will get that taken care of ;)

Edit: I think the league can fine the player if they deem it necessary but not the teams. I think it is a judgement call.

Why is this an article? If it were a kid in a wheelchair or cancer or something, that'd be great. But the kid was normal as can be. Kids get foul balls all night long in every baseball stadium in America.

Because this is the kind of stuff Scott Fowler dreams to write about.

I remembering talking with a buddy of mine that plays in the NFL and he said the player gets fined if they give a ball away. I want to say it was like $500 or something? Might be wrong.

Thats so fuging dumb. Shouldn't the league be about giving back to fans. Are they really that fuging cheap?

I don't know if it's a judgement call by the NFL on a case by case basis, or if they just fine the player no matter what. I'm sure there is some review process before they just send down a fine. I mean the NFL probably gets the balls from Wilson for next to nothing. You can buy them retail for $75 in a sporting goods store, so even if the NFL or team pays $50 a ball, what's the big deal?

why hasn't anyone done this before?

oh wait....dwill did it after his TDs in '08 at home and away games. in oakland he got spit on by raider fans for trying it and after one of his TDs and in green bay a packers fan knocked the ball away from the fan.

this isn't a new thing, but it's been a while since we had a team that scored very much so the tradition went away.

it would be nice to see us do that on a regular basis, though. sure, they'll get fined, but i think there is more than enough cash around to pay it between the players.

Silence, run off elsewhere and blab ur true statements. :p

But yeah... Props goes to Shula here, yea Cams a good guy but lets not act like it was his idea. In the conference Cam even said he was about to run off when he heard Shula yellin to give the ball to a kid. Shulas doing a great job with cam on the field and seems to be teaching him a lil more than just executing plays on the field.
