A Dallas Cowboys fan's obituary made mention of how the deceased may have chosen to shuffle off this mortal coil to avoid watching the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles battle it out in Super Bowl LII.
"Robert Clyde Drew, beloved husband, father, and Papa, drew his last breath January 25, 2018, mainly, we suspect, to prevent himself from having to watch the Patriots and Eagles in the Super Bowl," the obituary reads on the Wichita Falls funeral home Dignity Memorial, via SportsDay.
The obituary also brings up a play from a few years back that still sticks in the craw of Cowboys Nation: Dez Bryant's controversial no-catch from a divisional round playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers in 2015.
"A loyal Cowboys fan, he died peacefully with his daughter by his side, knowing full well that Dez, did, in fact, catch the ball," the obituary notes.
Mall rules
The Mall of America in Minnesota has been the headquarters for fans, players, media and literally anyone else around in the week leading up to Super Bowl LII between the Patriots and Eagles today.
From Tom Brady telling a ridiculous story about getting bit by a dog to playing Pictionary on one of the roller coasters, the mall has provided some delightful entertainment for the people there and who are watching from afar on the internet. But while it all seems like fun and games, there's apparently a couple of things the mall will not tolerate.
Among them, Eagles chants.
According to the mall's conduct rules, loud, offensive language, intimidating behavior and demonstrating are on the list of don'ts, and chanting E-A-G-L-E-S could fall under any of those categories, especially if you're a Vikings fan.
No Wahoo
Newly elected Hall of Famer Jim Thome won't be enshrined with Chief Wahoo.
Thome played most of his career with the Cleveland Indians and "fully" supports the team's decision to remove the divisive Wahoo logo from their uniforms. He prefers to have the club's block "C" logo on his Cooperstown plaque.
"I know my decision would be to wear the 'C' because I think it's the right thing to do," Thome said. "I think I need to have a conversation with the Hall of Fame because of all the history and everything involved. I just think that's the right thing to do."
Thome wore the Chief Wahoo logo while playing for the Indians from 1991-2002 and again when he returned in 2011. The left-handed hitter belted 612 home runs, eighth on the career list.
The Wahoo logo will be removed from jersey sleeves and caps starting in the 2019 season, when Cleveland hosts the All-Star Game.
