I would have given it back to Brady, but not at that time. I would have simply given the person asking for it my number and said have him call me for the ball. Like anything, I would want to research what it would fairly be worth. Tom is probably a billionaire, money is no object to him whatsoever. Would you sell a winning powerball ticket worth a million or more to a rich guy who offers you a couple thousand dollars just because he is a nice guy.
Brady himself said last night that the guy lost all his bargaining power the moment he gave up the ball.
He's worth a few hundred million but he's not a billionaire. Yet.
