Loyal sports fans are known for doing some pretty insane things in order to inspire their teams to win. But a recent event involving a crazy Cubs fans take things to a whole new level.

Yesterday, a package was found outside of Chicago's Wrigley Field addressed to Tom Ricketts, the owner of the Cubs. And it contained a very strange item. When someone got around to opening the package, which was left outside of Wrigley's Gate K, they found a goat's head. Yes, a goat's head. No note was included with the goat's head so it's not 100 percent clear what the person who sent it was trying to say with it. But it appears as though the fan was trying to kill off the infamous "curse of the Billy Goat" that was placed on the Cubs back in 1945. However, police are investigating the package further.

"We got a call at 2:30 p.m., responding to 1060 West Addison, Wrigley Field," a Chicago PD spokesman said. "W're investigating it as an intimidating package."

But was the goat's head really meant to be intimidating? Or was some Cubs fans trying to single-handedly destroy one of the biggest curses in sports history? Whatever the case, this was definitely a weird way to go about things.
