did he go to jail yesterday?

My understanding was he had a court appearance the day after the SB. If he was supposed to report to jail to serve a sentence, then the SB tickets would have been irrelevant, since leaving the state might have been a violation of the court order.

And I'm a Rams fan and I'm still pissed, even more so because I was at that game!!

I hope neither of you are being remotely serious.

And while we're talking "I would have"s, I would have run it with Lynch.

Now on the other hand, the last play Butler interception ball is worth the 20K and more.

As I stated before, not so much!

I was at the game and I'm a Seahawks fan;however, this football is kind of interesting. Perhaps the Patriot players simply squeezed the extra 2psi out of the balls?

To be honest, that ball that you show could have easily been 13-14 psi. That ball is being squeezed. Now, if it looked like that sitting on the ground... that's how 9-10 psi looks.

I think if Seattle wins the Super Bowl, then that's a great ball. If not, not so much.

As I stated before, not so much!

As stated in the original post (which was edited in a later post), the Patriots CHEAT, while the Seahawks don't appear to. That's why I'll be supporting the Seahawks now.

I agree completely. Thats why the Rams lost to them in the Superbowl!

Re: I would have taken the $20k...

After the conference championships, I initially declared that I would take a pass on the Super Bowl due to both teams being from blue states. After this, I have taken a mulligan and have decided to pull for the Seahawks. The team may be from one of the furthest left-wing cities in the nation, but at least they don't cheat!

Curious if this is due to social or economic policies?

Re: I would have taken the $20k...

Interesting story...

I don't usually let random politics interfere with which sports team I enjoy or don't. I just can't imagine not collecting or only collecting based on the surroundings of the political minds in the city the team I like is based in or not in.

But every collector collects what they like for the reasons they like--I just hadn't thought about politics being involved in worth/value before. I always thought Chicago was a blue region, but perhaps I am misinformed.

Good luck to both teams in the Super Bowl.

You're correct about Chicago, but I'm not of a blue mindset.

I didn't mean to take this original thread in to a different area--we all collect and root for what we like for our own reasons!

I don't think ANY modern game ball is worth $20,000 initially--If I were in that guys position I would probably go with cash, but it seems that he may be a true fan of the Seahawks and wanted to get the ball back to Kearse or the team.

That $20,000 could buy a lot of Kearse GU jerseys though...
