[Trajan88]

I can see keeping the football on the record-breaking run. Deserved and he should get his props.

With #22, it has always been about HIS numbers. He keeps every football that he scores a td with.

What the hell does he do with all that pigskin? Does he have a plexiglass wall at home with the 150 something balls? If so, does he lay out a mat a pray to it every day (like Jimmy "life-like" hair use to stare at his fish tanks)?

If Smith donates the balls to charity - that's fine, but if he keeps these things, he's a dork.

For the record, I'm a Redskin fan (and no I don't like Danny Snider as their owner).

Never gonna happen. Although the bitterness runs deep in Michigan, Barry was also a class act (other than the suddent retirement). I only remember seeing him spike the football once. Every other time, he simply handed it to the official.

He's saving the footballs and other memorabilia to have a charity auction. He also contacted Walter Payton's widow and son and invited them to the game. In addition, he's contributed time to Walter Payton's foundation for finding cancer cures.

Of course, if you're a Redskin fan and a graduate of A&M, I understand your bitterness.

He used to own a collectibles shop in Pensacola, Florida. That's where the balls when. He sold it three years ago.

I'll leave you with this quote from Emmitt:

“You think you're in the ultimate arena by playing the game, but you're not. The ultimate arena of competition is free enterprise,” Smith said. “That's the true arena.”
