Dan Kelly had done something really dumb -- but something extremely hilarious. Something that has gone viral every Patriots' Day for 15 straight years. Something that Boston sports fans revere like, well, Paul Revere.
Both Kellys were mortified that people would be able to identify them. Perhaps they'd joke around later with some close friends about it, but they wanted to take their ejection and run back off into anonymity.
