Look, we’ve all done crazy things before in the name of sports.

We’ve made stupid bets that we never wished we made. We’ve skipped more hours of class and work than the average man should. We’ve painted areas of our body that should never be painted and felt emotions that nobody should ever feel while watching grown men run around in tight pants.

But this? This is a new low for men everywhere.

Broncos fan spends $21,000 on Super Bowl tickets without consulting his wife. 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/8TR21FkCiL — PatriotsNation™ (@Jordanems) February 6, 2016

Few things here: First, to spend anything more than 4 figures on ANYTHING that has to do with sports, in my mind, is insane. Even anything more than a few hundred bucks is bananas to me. Maybe I’m crazy – but if I can watch it on TV, that’s fine with me. Sure, go a bit crazy, throw down a few hundred and enjoy yourself, especially if your team is in the big game.

But $21,000? That’s fucking insane.

Secondly, did he say he plans on hitting 30K for the trip? 30?! What the fucking hell else is he doing when he’s there? 9 grand is a lot to spend in Vegas in a weekend – let alone San Fran. Jesus Christ dude, maybe mix in a fast-food meal once or twice and pass on the seafood towers & hookers for a night. Budgeting an extra 9K into this Super Bowl trip is low-key maybe the craziest thing about what this guy’s doing. I wanna party with you, dude. But you’re paying.

Three, that’s a BOLD move not telling the wife. By the looks of this guy, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he’s not going to have a whole lot left in his bank account after this withdrawal. That is a dangerous play without running it by the other half. Imagine how excited she’s going to be when she finds out she’s going to the Super Bowl!

But that’s okay, because it will be all worth it if the Broncos win.

Right?

Right.

My question is: do we root for him or against him?

I mean, if the Broncos lose, his life is clearly over. We can’t wish that on someone, can we? We need to give this guy something in life, right?

But if they win, do we really want someone who does this to be happy? I mean, we’d be kicking evolution in the dick if we did. People can’t be rewarded for shit like this, can they?

What do you think?

Me, I say we let the guy burn. Kind of hope the Panthers win just to see this guy’s reaction. Natural selection at it’s finest.
