Alabama fan gets 2 years in prison for vile 'teabagging' of LSU fan

If you don't know what "teabagging" is, you're so lucky. You also haven't been passed out in front of Brian Downing. The Alabama Crimson Tide fan started serving a two-year prison sentence Thursday after he was videotaped placing his genitals on the face (and body and head) of an unconscious Louisiana State University Tigers fan after the BCS National Championship game in January. Downing pleaded guilty to two counts of obscenity, accepting a plea deal that did not require him to register as a sex offender.
