And one that get you to meet the player and give you multiple autograph footballs. For the record, he didn't ask for it back

So..... They were coming back from Wal-Mart and just decided to swing by and give him the ball ?

He voiced his upset at some fan having it. That is saying it would be nice to have it back.

He was not upset that a fan had the ball; he was upset with HIMSELF for given away a sentimental football. You can only imagine the scrutiny he went through and to be given a second chance to prove his worth, he give it away to a fan

Makes no sense. He is not upset with what he did, just with the outcome?

Putting the fans as second fiddle to a player is exactly what the league does... its bassakwards, with out the fans there is no league.

It was "some fan" that caught it, so I don't see anything wrong with the statement.
He obviously made it worth the fan's while to bring it back to him.

Meach is a cool guy off the field. At least when I met him he was all smiles. I'd trade that ball for an autographed one any day.
