Here's one more thing you can blame on Seattle Seahawk's head coach Pete Carroll. In an obituary, a Seattle family blamed Carroll's game-losing "lousy play call" at the end of the Super Bowl for the "untimely death" of Michael Sven Vedvik, according to CBS Seattle.

But it's all in good fun apparently; Vedvik's death on the Monday after the Super Bowl had no relation to the game. "My husband would have thought it was hysterical," Stephanie Vedvik reportedly said.
