Montel Williams alerts Cardinals of rude fan, team makes a kid’s day

[Iceman]

Such a cool story. I'm sure the ignorant adult that stole the ball from the kid could care less what he did, even if he saw this story. All he cares about is that he got a NFL football! Unreal

Here is the vid. CJ tries to hand it to the kid but the adults on both sides are grabbing. The kid never really gets the ball. The ball ends up back on the field. I would guess that the guy who ended up with the ball had no idea that CJ was trying to hand it to the kid first.

If you stop the video at the 17 second mark, the guy in the Cards 31 jersey knocks the ball away. They guy to the right of him (his left) is the one holding the ball in the pic earlier in this thread. Someone must have picked the ball up off the field and gave it to one of them. Anyway. It gives a pretty good picture of exactly what happened.

Yes I sat in the south end zone and saw many a fool think they were leaving with the ball. Well 1 game I did get one when the net malfunctioned before a field goal, I threw it as far as I could over to the east side stands where it could be liberated.

I was in the SEZ and a bunch there brought in pump needles and they quickly deflated the balls for whomever caught them.

You don't consult for the Patriots do you?

Upon further review the kid never had possession and CJ's arm was going forwards, so it's an incomplete pass.

After seeing this video, I wouldn't say the anyone 'took' the ball from the kid, unless there was another incident after the video. The ball ended up back on the grass so someone else handed the ball back to the fans.

Me too. Sat dead center of the goal posts about 10 rows from the top for the first 5yrs at SDS. Being in the center of the row it was always easy to hide the ball from security the first few years. Then they started sending security up the aisle's to watch where the ball went.

Ahhh it was a simpler time. LoL. As miserable as a lot of those years were, I remember the SDS days so fondly now.

I mean, befor we had season tickets, my dad used to just drop me off outside the stadium. I would get a ticket from a scalper for nothing. Half the time they would just give me one, and just go to the game by myself! I would start in the nosebleeds and sneak my way down to the field level by the end of the game lol. I was 12-14 when that was happening which seems insane now, lol, it was just different back then. Cards fans ere a family. Good times.

And Andy, the south end zone was the BEST!

Glad to see he stopped ripping off people by pimping out payday lenders long enough to do something.

Nicely done!

Glad it ended nicely for the kid.

I'm just surprised that Montel Williams has any pull in this whole thing!

Andy, that's a sweet collection of tickets there my brotha! I only made it once to SDS sad to say.

I was Section 39, Row 15. Good times, good times.

Wow. Section 37, Row 17, Seats 10 and 11.

Right behind a guy named Shelby who for many years wore the shirt, hat, jersey of whichever team we were playing that game.

So awesome.

That looks like the 88 season.

The Eagles game that year was my first NFL game ever, I was 8 years old.

It was such a great game. The Cardinals were seemingly dead when the Eagles whent to punt late in the 4th quarter, their long snapper hiked the ball way over the punters head and the Cardinals got the ball with a chance to win and potentially make the playoffs. JT Smith dropped a touchdown pass, we missed the playoffs, and I cried like an infant all the way out of the stadium.

My dad always says he did his best to comfort me, but what he should have said was; Get used to it kid. lol

I started pinning them on a cork board in my garage in 88, ran out of room after the 97 season but I still save them all.

Pretty cool story. The team and Montel are classy!

worked out good for the kid after all. Got 2 footballs. First one signed by Palmer and second one signed by CJ.

That is a great story.

My first "real" NFL game was Cardinal vs Giants, that same season. (I went to the Green Bay vs Denver Preseason game in '87 with tickets that someone gave me for free).

I was only mildly curious about the Cardinals when they first came to town. Watched them on TV, and listed to several games on the radio because I had to work a lot of Sunday's back then.

Well, the San Fran game changed everything for me. It was another game I had to listen to on the radio. Very exciting game, and I became a lifelong fan from that point forward. (I got a copy of it on DVD from a 49er fan a few years back, which was the first time I actually got to watch the game. )

I took a buddy to see the Cards play the Giants the next week, another win for the Cards, and my infatuation was set... I don't think we won another game that year. That should have been my clue to run away.

Go Cards!!!

Ugh. 1988. The year of the late season meltdown. Lost 5 games in a row. I went to the Eagles/Cards game in Philly, in a light drizzle. And watch Earl Ferrell fumble the ball on the 1 yard line when we could have taken a 14 point lead. Cliff Stoudt QB'd that game.

IIRC, that was a Saturday afternoon game. Before JT Smith dropped that ball Neil Lomax made a great 4th down and long pass to Roy Green to preserve that drive. I remember suffering through a hangover from the Friday night before that game.
