We knew Pete Carroll's decision to pass instead of run late in the Super Bowl devastated Seattle Seahawks fans, but we didn't know how much until now.
Michael Vedvik of Spokane, Wash. died of a heart attack shortly after the end of the Super Bowl. And as his obituary from his family reads, "We blame the Seahawks' lousy play call for Mike's untimely demise."
Funny, yes, but not entirely true. Mike, 53, wasn't feeling well during the Super Bowl, and recorded it to watch later. Stephanie Vedvik, Mike's wife, found him the next morning; he had passed away at some point in the night.
Stephanie said the line about the Seahawks was added to Mike's obituary by a family member, and she approved of it. “My husband would have thought it was hysterical,” she says. “If I had read this obituary to my husband about somebody else, he would have had a laugh.”
