ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions have banned the fan who allegedly shined a laser pointer into the eyes of Bills quarterback Kyle Orton and holder Colton Schmidt during the Bills' 17-14 victory Sunday.
The fan, Mark Beslach, was cited for misdemeanor disorderly conduct and will have to pay a small fine for the action, and the season-ticket holder who gave him the ticket will have his season tickets revoked for the rest of the season. Lions team president Tom Lewand said Thursday the season-ticket holder and Beslach shared a close relationship, but he would not say if it was a father-son relationship.

Beslach actually tweeted about shining the laser pointer in the eyes of Orton and Carpenter on Monday, but then his account was deleted.
"You see a green light on any of the bills players just laugh cause it's me," he tweeted. "Got Kyle Orton complained to the ref when I got him with the laser," he wrote in another tweet.

Don't know what the "small fine" was, but I think the douchebag got off too easily.

I hadn't heard about that. What a fucked up thing to do. A real fan would want our Lions to win fair and square. Cheating is for losers. What a dick.
