Catfish stunt all good, smelly fun

Yes, they are actually charging a Nashville Predator fan for throwing a catfish on the ice during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals in Pittsburgh.Jacob Waddell of Nolensville has been cited on criminal charges of possessing an instrument of crime, disorderly conduct and disrupting a meeting by tossing a rotting catfish onto the ice during a stoppage of play during the second period Monday night.The fang-fingered culprit said he smuggled the catfish into PPG Arena by vacuum sealing it and then putting it in his compression shorts to get it by security. He then removed it from his pants during a visit to the bathroom before strolling down the steps to the glass and hurling it onto the ice. He masked the stench of the foul-smelling fish by slathering it in Old Spice.This act of defiance came in the face of a decree by the Pittsburgh Penguins (the team which is playing the Predators for the championship) that any catfish would be immediately confiscated.
