ST. LOUIS — Soon after a $790 million wire transfer from the NFL arrived in St. Louis just in time for the holidays, Bob Blitz did a little online shopping.
He sent his Team STL teammates, from secretaries who plowed through piles of paperwork, to attorneys who clashed with the league’s best suits, a small pouch tied up with ribbon.
Inside they found a Christmas ornament in the shape of a medallion. It showed a man spinning a sling over his head. Standing in his path was a giant.
