Look, I believe in justice as much as the next guy - but 5 years for failure to appear for driving with a revoked license??? There are rapists and child molesters who get less time than this.
Having said that, this guy thinks 5 years in the pen is worth watching his brother play in the Super Bowl. I might love my brother as much as the next guy, but I don't think watching him play a game is worth five years of incarceration, either. Maybe the after party with Snoop Dogg made it all worth while...

Super Bowl trip adds 4.5 years to prison sentence
Associated Press
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. -- The brother of Pittsburgh Steelers safety Tyrone Carter had his sentence for driving with a revoked license increased from six months to five years because he failed to report to jail on time.
Tank Carter was scheduled to report to a Broward County prison on Jan. 6, but decided against it when his brother told him the Steelers had a good chance of going to the Super Bowl. On Tuesday, Broward Circuit Judge Stanton S. Kaplan increased the sentence.
"Even knowing what I know now, I would do it again," Carter said. "It was the greatest game in my life."
Carter watched the Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks from the 50-yard line in Detroit and partied with rapper Snoop Dogg after the game.
The brothers have been close since growing up in a rough section of Pompano Beach.
"I would have done the same thing," Tyrone Carter said of his brother's decision. Winning the Super Bowl meant "we finally made it together."
