Giants fan arrested for trying to set Bucs flag on fire

The Giants rebounded Sunday with a win over the Bucs in Tampa, and one Big Blue supporter decided to celebrate in blatantly illegal fashion.

A Giants fan named Daniel Justin Raboni, 32, of North Palm Beach, Florida, was arrested Sunday night after trying to set fire to a massive, 80-by-50 foot Bucs flag at the team headquarters, police said. The flag costs $26,000 and hangs from 15-foot pole at One Buccaneer Place, the Tampa Tribune reports.

There was one problem, though. The flag was made of fire-retardant material, according to police, so Raboni was only able to melt a small portion of the flag.
