i will be the first to remind you of this, if Hilliary wins. this is almost like taking your ball and going home

1. There was no other person there that knew the value of this football and that would be hard to believe because your in Northern VA. or
2. Other's noted that it was the son and not the dad's sig.

funny you mention, i brought up those exact points to him. he was sure of it, in fact he told me that not a lot of people were bidding on the sports stuff to begin with. im not even sure what the auction was for, i believe it was a charity thing. either way these are two very legit points that i grilled him on, he swears he read it over and over. his company is also based in boston, so im not sure if it was just a bunch of bostonians bidding on items and maybe they were oblivious to it. hes also got other stuff with signatures that are real so its not like it was his first go around at things like this which is kinda why he was so pissed.

and no, im not going to throw the ball away like someone mentioned. i think i can scrub off the sharpie somehow, so dissapointing.

I would not mess with the ball and if he ever does become president or something like that it may be worth something. Last night they had a show on the NFL network about the biggest 10 rivals in football. I think it was number 3 or 4 biggest and was Allen and his rival against Dallas. He really hated dallas and they said he would game plan all year just for the Dallas games.
