Gadzooks, do you actually believe Cam is the first one to give a football to a child in the stands? In 1952, when I was 5 years old, my parents were fans of the original NFL Dallas Texans. On October 18th, 1952, they took me to the game against the Green Bay Packers in the old Cotton Bowl. We were seated in the end zone.

Now, I really don't remember any of this, but the story my parents told for years afterward was that after Texan received George Taliaferro caught a 78 yard pass from Texan quarterback Bob Celeri, he flipped the ball up to me. I caught it but as it was back then, the Ref came up and took the ball back.

At halftime, George Taliaferro came over and gave me a signed game program. My late Father had that program framed but somewhere through the years in our many, many moves, it got lost. I even bid upon one on eBay a few years ago but got outbid.

So, don't hand me this crap of Cam being the first to have a touchdown ball given to a child in the stands--

His arrogant history of always making himself the center of attention leaves me cold, no matter how good of a football player he appears.
