Record-setting ball to be bronzed

We asked Micheal Spurlock this afternoon whether he would mind being photographed with the ball he took 90 yards for the franchise's first kickoff-return touchdown.

He was more than happy to do it, but there's just one roadblock: Spurlock gave the ball to the team which plans to bronze it and place it on display at the team's headquarters.

It seems the same lobby where statues recently were constructed to pay tribute to some of the stars of the team's 2002 championship will soon have another piece of memorabilia. There also are plans to showcase the Lombardi championship trophy at some point, too. For now, it's in a very safe place that apparently no one has the security clearance to divulge.

Guess we won't be snapping that photo after all.
