You're a Packers Fan, Son ... Got It?

22 hours ago

PORTAGE, Wis. (AP) — Upset that his 7-year-old son wouldn't wear a Green Bay Packers jersey during the team's playoff victory Saturday, a man restrained the boy for an hour with tape and taped the jersey onto him.

Mathew Kowald was cited for disorderly conduct in connection with the incident with his son at their home in Pardeeville, Lt. Wayne Smith of the Columbia County Sheriff's Department said. Pardeeville is about 30 miles north of Madison.

The 36-year-old Kowald was arrested Monday after his wife told authorities about the incident. Kowald was taken to the county jail and held until Wednesday, when he pleaded no contest, paid a fine of $186 and was released.

Kowald's wife filed a restraining order Wednesday, so Kowald will not be able to have contact with his family, Smith said. Smith said other domestic issues have surfaced, though he wouldn't elaborate.

The boy refused to wear the jersey Saturday, when the Packers beat the Seattle Seahawks in a playoff game, Smith said. Smith said the incident sounded strange when reported at first, but the mother took pictures with her cell phone and that type of evidence is difficult to dispute.

Kowald, contacted later Wednesday by the Portage Daily Register, said the incident started as a joke. His son challenged him by saying he wouldn't root for the Packers. When he tied the boy up, the youngster was laughing while his wife took pictures, he said.

"Then he couldn't get out and he got upset and that's it. It lasted a minute," he said. "I didn't mean no harm, and he knows that, but I haven't been able to tell him that."

District Attorney Jane Kohlwey said there wasn't enough evidence to support felony charges.

"I wouldn't agree with what he did, but legally a parent can restrain a child," she said. "I have no proof of emotional damage. ... I have to follow the law.

Taping a jersey, no big deal.

Taping a Cheese Head to a young man's head, now that's a different story!

As an honorary Wisconsinite, I see nothing wrong in this.

I am led to believe that the Packers are in an important game this weekend. Go Mr. Favre. Yea assorted Cheeseheads. Etc.

Patriots Fan Gets Helmet Tattooed On Head

Tattoo Will Be Detailed, Life-Size Replica Of Brady's Helmet

LACONIA, N.H. -- New England Patriots fans have been buying hats or shirts to show off their team pride, but one fan is getting something a bit more permanent -- a helmet tattooed on his head.

Victor Thompson is taking his Patriots pride seriously with the extensive tattoo, reported Manchester, N.H., TV station WMUR.

"It just popped into my head that I wanted it to look like Tom Brady's helmet," Thompson said.

House of Tattoo artist Gary Laroche has been working on the tattoo. Thompson had one side done on New Year's Eve.

"He's kind of off the wall," Laroche said.

Thompson's plan is to get every bit of the helmet down to the smallest detail, including the dot that marks Brady's helmet as having a microphone.

Thompson said he is hoping the Pats win the Super Bowl. If they do, he will get the Lombardi Trophy tattooed on his head, along with the years the team has won it all.

Laroche said Thompson's dedication shows off his love of the team, but he thinks it also makes Thompson feel good about himself.

"If you change the way their appearance is, it boosts their ego and makes them feel better," he said.

Thompson said he's excited to be a walking embodiment of the New England Patriots.

"I feel awesome," he said. "I feel like the Pats now."
