Cowboys fan tries to salvage his dumb ‘Super Bowl champions’ tattoo

The premature championship tattoo is the oldest joke in the book. It’s almost always a bad idea (if they’re even real), but we never hear what happens to these idiots after their teams lose.

“Obviously, I’m not that great with guarantees,” the guy, 24-year-old Jordan Garnett, told the Palm Beach Post. “But I’ll guarantee it again: We’ll win it next year.”
