so you gave your social security number and other information to irsay's assistant who was filling out a tax form and now you are thinking of not reporting the money as income? ok, got it.

He sent a letter with the colts on it. He didn't give away business money in this I wouldn't think. I'm sure it was his own pocket money. Wink.

What are you talking about? It's not like gambling, it's like marketing. He held a contest using Twitter as the medium. Apparently he's been doing it for quite a while. Seems like a reasonable way to increase Twitter followers, thereby increasing the Colts' advertising potential.

Companies hold contests all the time. Sending the prize money in cash is a little unorthodox, and maybe they didn't expect it to be such a public thing, but I can't see how anyone is harmed by this or why the NFL would care if an owner gives away his money in an effort to gain exposure.

I'm not saying I think anything should happen or will... bud Goodell loves to get all uptight about people bringing down the NFL brand

This is not taxable income from gambling or services rendered. It's a gift. Congrats, OP!

I don't see how it brings the NFL brand down. To me it's just increasing visibility. Kinda weird the guy picked a random figure ($8500), kinda strange he shipped it in cash, and overall having an impromptu contest for that much money is just surprising, but I don't see anything wrong with it.
