For what its worth, Mike Pereira was on KNBR this morning, and he said the main reason the NFL doesn't want balls thrown into the stands is the potential for fights and injuries. Said its not like baseball, where the atmosphere is mellow and tons of balls go into the stands......said the fans always get a bit too crazy for footballs. Noted that the league has no problem with handing the ball to someone in the first row, its only balls chucked up into the deeper rows that draw fines.
Michael Crabtree is screwed then. Seems like he chucks the ball in the stands every time he scores lol
