http://nypost.com/2015/02/03/how-2-irish-seahawks-fans-snuck-into-25k-super-bowl-seats/

Talk about the luck of the Irish.
Two Seahawks fans from the Emerald Isle snuck their way into the Super Bowl, and landed prime seats worth $25,000 apiece, according to The Independent.
Paul McEvoy from Cahir and Richard Whelan from Dublin couldn’t afford scalper prices outside the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, with Whelan even getting interviewed by the NFL Network in an effort to try to land tickets. But in the end, the blokes just blagged their way in.
(No, I wouldn’t have known what that meant if I hadn’t seen “Snatch.”)
Whelan tweeted: “I f–king made it!! Snook in straight through the front door! NOW LET’S GO HAWKS!”
They convinced the New England Patriots mascot to pose with the flag of Ireland, and spent the first half hopping from seat to seat.

“Our game plan was to be super confident,” Whelan said on RTE Radio One Morning Ireland, according to the paper. “We just thought if we pretend we belong there, nobody will question us. Between one layer of security and another, we just walked in behind these 20 first aid workers, straight up to the front door and hid in behind them.
“Paul was looking at his phone, pretending to text me, as if we had just popped out to look at an email we got or something. We walked past another security guard that just wasn’t paying attention. We could see the field then, the stadium and the atmosphere was insane … I remember looking at Paul’s face, we just couldn’t believe we got in.’’
They didn’t just get in, but got over, Ferris Buhler-style. After seat-hopping for the first half, they got lucky again when they stumbled across empty seats.
“We spoke to this guy and told him we had sneaked in. He told us the girls beside him were in the halftime show and so wouldn’t be coming back to their seats after halftime,’’ said Whelan. “So we ended up in the fourth row, sitting beside a former Super Bowl champion, Lawyer Milloy, who gave us a play-by-play of the game … It was pretty cool to have the Super Bowl champion sharing all the details.’’

Peace

Having attended the previous Super Bowl in Glendale, I don't buy that these guys just snuck in. Security lines were massive, no chance you sneak by. Plus it says they are 2 Seahawks fans, why is one of them wearing a Pats shirt?

I call BS on the whole story.

Ok, so you think they paid 25k for each of those seats they apparently sat in and took that picture of the Patriot mascot.

Why would anyone give a shit if a couple dudes snuck into the Super Bowl, didn't harm a person and just had a good time.

Isn't there a guy that has snuck into every Super Bowl up until a few years ago?

There was a guy that a buddy of mine in college knew through his family. I met his son a few times years ago and he was a cool/crazy guy as well.
They called him the great imposter.
He took NBA warm ups with players, played rounds of golf with pros, did all sorts of shit that you wouldn't believe. (Of course this was before they worried about crazies as much as they do now.)
I didnt know ESPN did a 30 for 30 on him until I typed his name into google.

Or they paid for nosebleed seats and snuck down to the expensive seats later.

The worst PJ show experience of my life was when I had decent side stage seats at Boston II 04... my friend had to bail after Boston I so I gave the seat next to me away outside.

Well 20 seconds before the lights go down, like 4 people pile into the seat next to me and my space. Complete scum move. They tried to tell me I was in the wrong seat. Show starts. Things are dark, loud, and crazy and I couldnt do anything about it, but stand behind 2 people, being in contact, with no room the entire show.


Im a big proponent of sit your ass in the seat(s) you have tickets for.


I have a friend who goes to concerts/sporting events and does nothing but obsess with how to move up and get better seats. It drives me crazy. He spends time trying to monitor empty seats and secuity patterns... Then gets to the front and takes like 20 facebook photos. He does a move too where he grabs 2 beers and holds them up, nudging to the front as if he belongs and just went to get a round for him and someone.

Its scummy.

$25,000. Thats Grand Larceny right?

Don't even get me started on the SCUM OF THE EARTH PEARL JAM FANS I have witnessed do the same thing. They don't give a FUCK who they fuck over, just as long as they can get their fat asses closer to the stage.

Yeah, that is terrible, but that is not what these guys did. They sat in empty seats they found and bounced around. Doesn't seem like they ruined anyone's time and the people they told helped them find seats.

My wife and I were in two decent aisle seats at PJ in Vancouver in 2011. Two drunk chicks thought they could just stand next to us, half in, half out of the aisle. Halfway thru the show I had an usher remove our "new friends."

Jerry Rice: Sticky Handed Hypocrite

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/02/06/rice-admits-to-illegal-use-of-stickum/

Poncier

I lost a ton of respect for Rice and Aikman during the past 3 weeks, that only adds to it.

JimmyV

As of 2:14pm EDT, ESPN still has a link to Charles Haley's comments up on their front page. Not surprisingly there is no mention of Jerry Rice's hypocrisy, or Boomer Esiason's recent comments that Deflategate was a frame job, etc.

Why Aikman?

His statements like:

“Now twice, under Bill Belichick and possibly a third time, they’ve cheated and given themselves an advantage. To me, the punishment for the Patriots and/or Bill Belichick has to be more severe than what the punishment was for the New Orleans Saints.”

JimmyV

The silence on Rice from the worldwide leader is deafening.

Poncier

Apparently Rice deleted his tweets about the Patriots...cause if you delete them they never happened Jerry.

Fuck troy aikman. He's a douche bag

Yeah I'll say. They have a story up about Charles Haley shit-talking...which is fine. But in a world where Haley accusing someone of cheating is a story, then someone ADMITTING to cheating has to be one too. And this is cheating. What on earth was Rice thinking admitting this? We all know it was legal in the 70's and the Raiders (and probably others) took full advantage. But it was banned in 1981. BANNED.

Actually it's funny that Rice of all people would criticize the Patriots because he IS the Patriots. My knock on the Patriots isn't so much that they cheat, but they're so good that don't even need to! I've compared to that time the actress Winona Ryder got caught stealing clothes. What for? She could afford it. Why videotape the JETS' handsignals? They suck. You don't need to do that. Well that goes tenfold for Rice. He's the greatest ever with or without stickum...but he chose "with"....and for some reason admitted it. Dumbass. Like Marshall Faulk and many others that I loved watching when they played, Rice became a total douche as a so-called analyst and I'm happy to see him knee-deep in shit here.
