Here's an interesting incident that occurred yesterday.

I was watching the game. That helmet should be the fans, especially since the player threw it into the crowd. The fact that he missed his intended target of the bench means nothing. The fan should get something for that players ignorance.

It was probably his only helmet without it what would he do play helmetless so some fan could keep it? I believe Football players dont have extra helmets. If you recall that time in the Super Bowl Thurman Thomas missed a couple of plays while a mad search was conducted for his missing helmet.

It's true, they don't have extra helmets. When I was buying my Chris Snee helmet from him, he told me that I had to wait till the end of the season because the equipment staff only has one ready for him.

But, Jacobs was benched after that incident anyway, so he certainly didn't need his helmet to sit on the bench. I'd think that the fan would've been able to broker some sort of a deal, but who knows. In my opinion, I'd think it would work like people catching HR balls... "Let's Make a Deal"

IsIsis there any legal action that would protect the fan in being able to keep te helmet? Jacobs did erractically throw a helmet at him, so would he forfeit possesion of it? To me it doesn't seem fair to the fan, even though it was unintentional; Jacobs did throw the helmet at him.

Why not a game-used football as a consolation prize? I would have been happy with that.

It was in The Indianapolis Star that the fan received a football from the Giants in return.

Pretty funny video. The guy actually believes he should be able to keep the helmet!
