Yeah, because nobody like waxy slippery factory fresh footballs. Which makes me wonder did they both pony up $7500 or was that the total bribe? Either way that’s a pretty sweet payday for scuffing up 100 balls.
Johnson says he does not remember the amount, but it was large. He also said he did not dun Gannon for his half. Yeah, the ball custodian made out pretty well considering it was probably a low-pay or no-pay job.
Football, even the NFL, used to have a lot more plain old fun in it!
