Re: Brandon Jacobs helmet goes into the stands
That's pretty much what I figured, but Snee told me that the equipment guys didn't want him to give up his helmet before the end of the season. It may have just been them being lazy, but if it really only took 10 min, I can't imagine that is the case.
But, what did end up happening is that he sent me the helmet after the last game of the season, but he was an alternate for the Pro Bowl and he ended up having to play in it. I asked him if he needed it back and he said that he'd just use that time to start breaking in a new one for the next season.
So, it obviously wasn't too big of a deal for them to do in a couple weeks (after he sent it to me but before he needed it for the Pro Bowl), but it seems unlikely that if it were to take just 10 min they would tell him not to get rid of it till the end.

Re: Brandon Jacobs helmet goes into the stands
No, I don't think that his intention was to throw it into the stands, but it was his fault. In your basketball situation, the ball gets blocked or thrown into the stands during the normal play of a game. I would expect that if the ball was thrown into the stands out of anger, the fan would keep the ball.
Just my opinion, but I think there's a line between normal play and some idiot throwing his equipment around in anger.

Re: Brandon Jacobs helmet goes into the stands
So if the guy had managed to escape with the helmet, what would it have brought on the open market?

Re: Brandon Jacobs helmet goes into the stands
I hope B-Jake got his money's worth out of that heave...he was fined 10 grand for it.
