WTF: LSU players smoking cigars to celebrate the national championship were threatened with arrest

Uh oh. . .

Some LSU players apparently dared to smoke celebratory cigars after defeating Clemson in last night’s national championship game in New Orleans:

There is cigar smoke emanating from the #LSU locker room.

And thankfully they did because now we have this iconic shot of soon-to-be NFL QB Joe Burrow:

The smoke was “suffocating” according to this journo who was in the room:

It was so unbelievably smoky in the LSU locker room from the players smoking cigars I can taste it … and no, I didn’t have one. It was suffocating.

And that’s when the cops came in to rain on the victory celebration:

Cop just walked into a smokey LSU locker room dead serious and said everyone smoking a cigar is subject to arrest.

No arrests were made, however:

Several players holding stogies laughed at the warning like it was a joke but the officer wasn’t smiling.
