While you watch Seattle Seahawks fans in Washington set things on fire, there was some more drunken post-Super Bowl shenanigans occurring closer to the game. A pair of brothers in New York were “wrestling” when one of the men bit the other’s ear off. He then proceeded to punch him in the face until he was unconscious.

From the Democrat & Chronicle:

"A Rochester man allegedly bit off part of his brother’s right ear following a Super Bowl party.Sean Fallon-Nebbia, 27, of Lake Avenue was charged with first-degree assault, a felony, after he and his brother fought at the tail end of a Super Bowl party in Fallon-Nebbia’s apartment, just before midnight on Sunday, according to City Court documents. He is also accused of punching his brother Frank Fallon-Nebbia in the face several times, rendering him unconscious when emergency responders arrived."

If you were curious if alcohol was involved, it most definitely was. According to court papers, the brothers drank more than a bottle of whiskey together. The ear is also permanently disfigured.
