Re: Brandon Jacobs helmet goes into the stands
Yeah, I saw that last night, I just wish that there was some video of him actually throwing it up there. He was saying that it was an accident, but who knows. Either way, he got benched after that. hahaha -
Re: Brandon Jacobs helmet goes into the stands
Stinks the fan has to give it back, from how the security was acting it does not look like there was going to be any kind of trade or compensation for the helmet.Looking for: Joey Votto game used items.

Re: Brandon Jacobs helmet goes into the stands
The fan is asking for a trade? Or Jacobs?
Just kidding... I saw the news about Jacobs asking for a trade.
I would have held onto that helmet until a police officer told me I had to give it back.Comment

He did. Watch the video. A cop or uniformed secruity guard literally ripped it out of his hand.Comment

Each player only has one helmet. They couldn't let the guy keep it. Even if Jacobs was benched what if he had to go back in the game at some point? He can't play helmetless.Comment

Although, you'd think throwing something at a fan (intentional or not) would automatically have you on the bench the rest of the game via some kind of NFL rule, not just the coaches opinion.- CINCINNATI REDS/JOEY VOTTO BATS

Re: Brandon Jacobs helmet goes into the stands
Thats a slippery slope. For example say player scores a TD in a home game he is celebrating and flings the ball in the air it lands in the stands. Should he be ejected for that? Let's say its a playoff game and the receiver is Randy Moss or Andre Johnson (i.e. a guy who his team would be at a competive disadvantage without).- CINCINNATI REDS/JOEY VOTTO BATS

Re: Brandon Jacobs helmet goes into the stands
Giving the helmet back stinks, but, unfortunately, is necessary, as a previous poster mentioned. The guy got a game ball (also indicated by a previous poster), so it isn't like he went home emptyhanded. And, with a story like he has to tell, the memory plus the ball...he could've done a lot worse.

Re: Brandon Jacobs helmet goes into the stands
I guess I'm not in the school that once something goes into the stands its fair play and its a fans to own.
Besides that, the NFL puts up nets for extra points and field goals, its not like the NFL has a habit of giving away stuff.Comment
