Setting off fireworks indoors is about as good an idea as not trying to pressure Peyton Manning(notes) or giving Randy Moss(notes) a 15-yard cushion off the line of scrimmage. But, that didn't stop Indianapolis Colts employees from celebrating the team's first touchdown in tonight's game versus the New England Patriots by lighting a few pyrotechnics. Some of those remnants then fell to the ground and burned the artificial grass at Lucas Oil Field.
Someone from the sideline put out the blaze with a Gatorade bottle, but the fire burned long enough for NBC cameras to pick it up and for people nationwide to make jokes ranging from the lame to the obvious Billy Madison reference.
