That is interesting Greg, and clearly shows Brady was well aware of the football being sold. It also brings into question Brady's motives and doing what he did in announcing his unretirement right after the auction closed. I had heard rumors there was speculation in some corners that Brady may have intentionally done the unretirement announcement to get back at the seller because he wouldn't return the football Mike Evans unfortunately threw into the stands. Have no proof or basis, just repeating rumors heard.

Such a seemingly generous offer to donate a Bitcoin in someone's name may not be what it seems, and could easily be a stunt to throw people off from looking at this retirement announcement as a form of retribution that was supposed to impact the seller, not the buyer. Just look at this thread, can easily see someone initially thinking that the timing of the announcement would give the buyer reason to cancel and back out of the purchase, to the seller's detriment. But the person doing so may not have realized that the buyer may legally still have to go through with the transaction. So possibly as a PR move they offer to donate a Bitcoin in the buyer's name to the charity of their choice.

So what, that doesn't do crap for the buyer, he's potentially still out close to $500K. The donation is only made in the buyer's name, so want to bet who's going to actually get credit on their tax return for the charitable donation? It just makes you wonder a little more if there was something else going on.

Brady in some way has a relationship with Lelands as a few months ago he auctioned off a meet and greet experience for charity “This too shall pass” via WHIP Fundraising. That meet and greet is to occur in April. It is a fundraiser to benefit victims of the pandemic.

In that instance, if he is working with Leland's you'd think he wouldn't want to do anything that could be detrimental to the AH. This whole situation with the timing and all is crazy. We'll just have to sit back and see how it all plays out.

It looks like the sale was voided. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...ase-at-auction

But a few posters were adamant it was cut and dry and said the buyer is stuck to the purchase despite the changed circumstances.

Since these adamant posters were wrong, they should be forced to pony up and buy this football at the runner-up bid amount.

Well in fairness to the people who expressed that view of the law, this was an agreed upon resolution, the issue was not litigated.

I don�t doubt that this was a sticky issue, close call, and it begged for a settled resolution.

But the posters are not always right. Right? I knew Josh and he was a standup guy. Set up at shows were he had tables. Consigned and bought from his auctions. Correct decision, a big hit for the auction company, but he left the auction site with his values. RIP Josh.
