[the Earl of Whirl]

I know I have talked about this before but I can't seem to find it in an old thread.  I am at TJ Chumps (a little south of where we hold our whirled top fests) and watching our undefeated Cincinnati Bengals take it to Buffalo (sorry Jim Neff).  There are TVs and football games everywhere at this sports bar.  Out of the corner of my eye I see a player score and take the football and spin it on one end like a top!!!  It seems like I have seen this activity more and more in the NFL.

I need a good spinable football in the Hall of Fame.  I have been cleaning out some old non-top spinning related items and adding more shelves.  There should be plenty of room for a football that Austen and Eli can spin and challenge each other with next time they are up this way!

any football works really, I use to do it when I played as a kid.

A search of youtube came up with these videos:



the geek (our) way:



There must be a way of doing this forcefully using a kick. But I don't have an American football to try. Or to do a boomerang (challenge made!  ).

I also found that you get penalized if done in the middle of a play: "To clarify, an NFL spokesman told deadspin.com that penalties will only be called for ball spinning on non-scoring plays. Inside the endzone, players are free to spin the football to their hearts content"
