Man posts picture of Super Bowl credential; NFL takes it away image

We've all put up those questionable Facebook photos. 

Russ Knight is a former DJ in Arizona and landed a gig with the NFL as an assistant frequency coordinator for Super Bowl week. Of course they issue him a credential for the week's events. The number one rule is don't post a picture of it, the NFL has a strict policy. Sounds simple enough. Except for Knight.

In an attempt to show-off to his friends and family, Knight posted the picture to Facebook ... with him wearing it. Take some time for a collective face palm. A little bit after posting it, he received one of the worst phone calls possible.

"He said Russ, we've got a problem," Knight told CBS. "Apparently, on my picture, even though it's far away, they could zoom in and they could read my credential on the bottom."

"I can't blame anybody else," Knight said. "I was the guy. I was the who didn't read the fine print. I was that guy."
