The Story Behind The Fan That Caught The Ball From Josh And Ran Up The Stairs

[US Egg]

A far cry from the no net free-for-all behind the end zone for the ball at the Old War Memorial.
 

My father wouldn’t let me go down there.

So why is it you cant keep a ball if it flys into the stands?  Its not like baseball where it happens multiple times a game.    The NFL that hard up?

[DuckyBoys]

Pegula  cant afford another $100 Wilson FB?

Why not just let the guy have the ball?  They have like 50 more at hand.  He would save this forever.  Giving him another ball isn’t the same.  It’s BS to me.

He said he had caught balls in the stands before and the Bills took them back and promised replacement footballs - then reneged.

 

This time the team came through.

I’d love to know how many people have caught more than one football at NFL games. 
 

My guess is close to zero. 
 

I call bullsh*t.

What’s the point of the bills getting the ball back? Especially when they give you a different ball ?? Just let the fans keep it

it looked to me like his wife was telling him to make a run for it. Or could it be that wasn’t his wife? 😂

I think he has to be a CEO….

This sounds like a guy who thought he could steal a football got caught on the kiss cam than made up a heartwarming BS story to share with the kids

I think the call from Mike Tirico in national television is well worth way more than the ball (original ball or not). I mean he has a party story for life with Tirico calling him out of the stadium

Tirico was hilarious.  

 

Funniest prime time football moment since this one in 1972:

Perhaps the most exciting part of the game/broadcast

Wilson "The Duke" footballs are $160 nowadays, so it's not like losing a baseball into the stands.

[Playoffs?]

Stupid that the fans can’t keep the balls that they catch. 

The NFL and the owners bring in so much money.  Let’s say 3 balls go into the stands each game (which may be on the high side), the NFL can’t afford $500 per game?  Give me a break.
