Triple Overtime and she was bothering him?

You'd think by now that woman would have figured this out but she apparently didn't.

Seems like a bit of an over-reaction.

Unless she did something like pull the plug on the TV, in which case it's justifiable. /s

I think of crazy people like this when I hear that Obama wants to CONTROL everyone. You can’t control crazy people like this. Obama wants Utopia. But we are all HUMAN and some of us are stark raving mad with bad tempers. Obama is CLUELESS!

Funny. We aren’t having this problem in Dallas this year. But I remember an overtime game from years past where Hully’s foot was not over the line.

Was alcohol involved? This guy definitely had some money riding on the game and his wife was nagging him
