I sure hope Paul McEvoy and Richard Whelan aren't their real names. I fully expect that the NFL won't take kindly to this. Considering that the seats were valued at $25k each they could potentially be charged with felony theft.

The guy on the left has a Patriots SB ring on too ... in the article it says they were Seahawk fans ... what a couple mercenaries, the Irish have no allegiance ... you saw that scene in Braveheart where they switched sides right in the middle of a battle, eh?
