I'll see your drunk fan and raise you a QB!

Tattletales: NFL teams ask for text messages about rowdy fans

Drunk and unruly fans are a huge problem in NFL stadiums. Between the drinking, the cursing, the fights, the cursing, the stumbling and the cursing, NFL games provide as much of a kid-friendly atmosphere as a night out with Plaxico Burress. But now, NFL teams think they have developed a technique to curb boorish, abusive behavior at games: tattling.

At 29 of the NFL's 32 stadiums, fans can now send a text message to report disorderly conduct of nearby fans. The texts are received by stadium security, who address the situation and determine if the offending fan should receive a warning or ejection.

Awesome! I love passive aggression. It's so much easier than aggressive aggression.

But I envision something even better; might we also send them text messages if our team sucks and have them removed?

That'll come in so handy when J.P. Losman throws another interception.

Yeah!
