Stupid, football loving criminal is stupid.

--On Monday, 49-year-old Nathan Burris was on trial in Martinez, California for murdering his ex-girlfriend.  And while he was being cross-examined, he did something SHOCKING.

--Burris snapped his fingers, told the jury he was guilty, and asked them to hurry up and convict him . . . so he could get back to jail in time for "Monday Night Football".

--In California, the game starts at about 5:30 P.M.  So he knew he'd have to hustle to catch the kickoff between the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles.

--The jury did NOT end up deliberating on Monday, and it's not clear whether Burris got back to jail in time for the game. (San Francisco Chronicle)
