ORLANDO -- March 27, 2006 -- NFL clubs today unanimously endorsed a recommendation to return the name of the official game ball to “The Duke” in honor of the late New York Giants owner WELLINGTON MARA, one of the most beloved and respected figures in professional sports history. Mara died last October.

I wonder what they will do for Ralph when he dies... oh wait, the only teams that matter are the Cowboys Giants Eagles and Patriots.

....And in a related story...NFL owners voted 31-1 to rule all instant replay challanges in favor of the Bills opponents for the entire 2006 season, as punnishment for putting his team in Buffalo in the first place.
