Nope. That's just the result of a perfect spiral thrown by a somewhat inaccurate arm from a long ways away. A $182 throw, to be exact.
But finals had just ended, so it didn't hurt quite as bad as it could have.
And thank you for showing proper respect to that giant of a man, Andre.
Was the football made out of lead? Or was Andre the Giant, may his soul rest in peace, the thrower?
