Has everybody but me heard about this already? I'm not a football fan to speak of (at all, actually), so it may have been the talk of the halftime show for quite awhile...anyway, I cliped this from a Miami paper...

The NFL is scurrying busily as well entering the last weekend of the regular season, with three of 12 playoff berths still being contested. As coach Brian Billick of the contending Baltimore Ravens put it: ``This is for the whole ball of wax.''

Billick wasn't kidding, or simply spouting a cliché.

The Super Bowl champion used to receive a silver Vince Lombardi Trophy but will, beginning this season, receive a four-foot-high sphere of hand-shaped beeswax (the Vince Lombardi Ball of Wax) in a cost-cutting change not publicized by the league.

...or has this reporter simply found somebody dumb enough to believe this?
