Apparently, wearing a Super Bowl ring doesn't give you the power to reverse a call at a high school girls' basketball game in Iowa. Colts tight end Dallas Clark found this out the hard way, as he was ejected from the Southeast Webster-Grand High gymnasium in Burnside, Iowa, after allegedly berating a ref from the stands.

Clark was watching his alma mater, Twin River Valley High, face off against Southeast Webster-Grand in a district final, and while several observers say they have seen worse behavior from parents, Clark said something bad enough to be asked to leave. Perhaps the zebras were distracted by the reflection coming from Clark's Super Bowl ring, which gave his heckling just too much authority.

Of course, all of this begs the question: Why is Dallas Clark spending his brief offseason vacation at a high school girls' basketball game? I mean, was he invited by his alma mater to be there? Was his niece playing? Is high school girls' hoops just a bigger deal in Iowa than in other states, because of the old 6-on-6 tradition? I'd like someone to explain that to me before I make a Mark Chmura joke that proves to be entirely inappropriate.
