Are you ready for some football?

I mean, do you have a bucket and loaf of bread?
A couple who admitted locking a 7-year-old boy in his room with a bucket for a toilet while they watched Packers games at a casino received jail sentences Monday. Circuit Judge Jeffrey Wagner called the couple's actions "abhorrent" and ordered them to undergo psychological screening.

"What both of you did certainly shocks the conscience of the community," Wagner said.

Scott Scherer, 39, and Melanie Hardrath, 30, admitted locking Hardrath's son in his room with a loaf of bread, peanut butter and jelly, and a bucket that he would have to clean when they returned.

Bread AND peanut butter? That kid was living like a king.

I've always said that the Packers have the most hardcore fans!

That judge is rightfully pissed that they made the kid miss the game. That IS abhorrent.
