It broke into pieces no larger than a football. I haven't seen any
mention when exactly the pieces will fall.

Anyone know?

It would be nice if one fell harmlessly into my yard.

I hear they go for a nice price.

"Due to the relatively low altitude of the satellite at the time of the
engagement, debris will begin to re-enter the earth’s atmosphere immediately.
Nearly all of the debris will burn up on reentry within 24-48 hours and the
remaining debris should re-enter within 40 days. "

Most burn up. For some reason, the smaller they are the more likely
that is, but I don't understand why.

Wouldn't it burn up on re-entry?
