An Arizona Cardinals fan was so enraged by the hype surrounding Sunday’s Giants-Patriots Super Bowl game that he chewed up two $900 game tickets.
Buddy, a 3-year-old Labrador retriever, was home alone when a courier delivered the pricey tickets for Chris Gallagher, Buddy’s human companion. The courier, instructed to leave the tickets under the front door mat, put them through the front door mail slot instead.
Buddy made a fair catch but then slobbered, clawed, chawed, bent, folded, spindled and mutilated $1800-worth of treasured tickets.
While the courier may have been Out-of-Bounds, Buddy knew he was guilty of Unnecessary Roughness. When Chris came home Buddy faked left, then went straight up the middle through the doggy door, across the backyard and into the End Zone. It is not known if he did a Victory Dance.
As the clock ran down, Chris got another pair of tickets and Buddy got a more nourishing meal.
As for the Arizona Cardinals, wait until next year.

Mike — great job. Just don’t tell Grits how good the tickets were. Actually, Grits prefers World Series tickets.
