Obituary: family blames Seahawk's "lousy play call" for fan's death

[americanwitch]

[QUOTE]KENT, Wash. -- A Washington family poked fun at the Seattle Seahawks for a fan's death, writing in his obituary that the game-ending interception led to his fatal heart attack, CBS Seattle reports.

The family of Michael Sven Vedvik, 53, put in his obituary in The Spokesman-Review that "we blame the Seahawks lousy play call for Mike's untimely death." Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw a game-ending interception at the one-yard line as head coach Pete Carroll elected to pass it instead of run the ball with Marshawn Lynch to win the Super Bowl.

"My husband would have thought it was hysterical," Stephanie Vedvik, his wife, told The Review. "If I had read this obituary to my husband about somebody else, he would have had a laugh."

pretty sure they were making a joke, which is great i think, because honestly i'd be such a wreck if someone that close to me died only a couple weeks ago

"I expected" pretty much insinuates that they figured out they weren't serious.

And given the widow said her husband would find it hysterical, we can safely say it was a joke, instead of being "pretty sure".
