Serious Sports Fans

In the state of Washington a 37-year-old man wearing Pittsburgh Steelers attire took his daughters to a Mile Hill Drive fast food restaurant Saturday evening, and "began trading friendly barbs with an employee about his team and their victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL."

The employee told the man that he'd "better not say that to the guy that's making your food," but the man thought it was a joke until he opened his hamburger and discovered what he called a "loogie" on it, otherwise known as a "greener".

He told his daughters to stop eating, demanded a refund and called the restaurant's district manager.

A deputy was informed by the manager that the person responsible may be a 24-year-old South Kitsap man a fanatical Seattle Seahawks fan who was near his quitting time when the incident occurred. He also failed to show up for work the next day, the manager said.

The deputy went to the 24-year-old's house, and when he knocked on the door, a voice from inside yelled that he "wasn't buying any ... girl scout cookies," the deputy said.

The deputy told him, "I won't sell you any," and when the man opened the door, the deputy "was immediately confronted with the strong odor of burnt marijuana."

The man brought the deputy a bag of marijuana and was arrested. The man also confessed to spitting in the man's hamburger to "gross him out ... because he was a Steelers fan."

He was booked into the Kitsap County jail for fourth-degree assault and possession of marijuana, given a good beating and then released.
