Honor Brett Farve: Tie up your kid

Last week, the Green Bay Packers hammered the Seattle Seahawks at Lambeau Field, causing great jubilation in Packers nation.
We would never chastise anyone for having pride in their team or even trying to make those close to them understand just how amazing their team is, but one Green Bay fan took it a bit too far. Mathew Kowald of Wisconsin really wanted his 7-year-old son to become a true cheesehead. When Kowald’s son refused to don a green and yellow packers jersey to celebrate the victory over the Seahawks, Kowald took it upon himself to make sure that his son would wear the jersey, so he tied the boy up and taped a Packers jersey on him in an effort to make his son understand the importance of Packer pride.

So, what was the result of tying up his son? Did the young lad become a Packer fan for life? Did he vow to go to every game with his father? Did he make a paper mache statue of Brett Favre and rub its head before he went to bed every night?

No. The kid cried and screamed as his mother took camera phone pictures, sent them to the police, had Kowald arrested and file a restraining order against him. Kowald insists that the incident was nothing more than a joke. We always thought tying up little kids was hilarious too. Maybe this guy should open up a day care center. We’re glad that his wife was able to put a restraining order on him. What would have happened if he had been around his kid when the Packers lost to the Giants in the NFC title game?
