I like to debone my ham's too. We do it while the deer's still haning though, a little trickier but that way you dont need a saw. I like to take apart into the major muscles as well, one big ham is hard to handle and the smaller pieces take marinades better i think, also their easier to wrap in bacon. Never thought about calling it a "football roast" but thats a perfect description. good luck with all that meat.
