Something about this story doesn’t seem right.
Where would you put the trophy? It won’t go underneath the seat and is probably too heavy to be put in the overhead bins. If it fell out…
Did he try to buy a seat for it? Did he actually take it to the airport and try to get it on or did he call and ask? If I were being asked about it I would recommend shipping it as well.
Why so much indignation now when pre-9/11 Eddie George had his trophy sent through x-ray. Was Eddie George smuggling something in his trophy?
Like I said, too many holes in this story. Sounds like a simple story blown into something to make people look stupid and create a story.
I wonder what would happen if I tried to take a bronze statue as carry on? If I couldn’t do it why should he get a pass?

Think of the heft that thing has.
And I suspect that used properly, you could use to take an eye out!

Well, according to the story, Eddie’s trophy got dented & lost a finger going through the x-ray. I guess the TSA guys in NY must be basketball fans…
No, that would be Ricky Williams…

So Eddie gave TSA the finger? How fitting.

So, does this mean that the Heisman Trophy is on the “No Fly List”?
