Byron Kennedy, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan to whomย wide receiver Mike Evans handed the ball that Tom Brady used to throw his 600th touchdown pass Sunday, received quite a haul from the Bucs after giving the ball back to team staff.

Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Timesย outlined the return:

Brady also tweeted that he was interested in giving Kennedy a Bitcoin:

The Bucs got a pretty good deal in the exchange, given that the ball was estimated to be worth around half a million dollars:

All Kennedy really wanted was to play a round of golf with Brady:

That probably isn't going to happen. But hey, he'll have quite the collection of memorabiliaโ€”and one hell of a storyโ€”as recompense. Not too shabby.
