On the very first episode of the Arizona Cardinals' series "All or Nothing" on Amazon, head coach Bruce Arians shared one of his biggest pet peeves: Someone parking in his spot. Arians also made it very clear that if someone parks in his spot, he will have your vehicle towed.

Simple enough, right? Well, someone didn't commit this rule to memory and paid dearly for it. 

According to CBS Sports, defensive end Lawrence Okoye was running late, and with parking spots limited upon his arrival to the Cardinals' facility, the practice squad player just settled into the first spot he could find. Big mistake. Little did he realize that the spot he took belonged to Arians and just like that, he was gone.  

"Parked in the wrong spot," Arians said to general manager Steve Keim and team president Michael Bidwill. "There weren't any parking places, so he just parked and came running in. Tough (expletive), bro."

It's a shame that Okoye spent just one month with the Cards before getting cut by Arians, but c'mon man, this type of mistake is inexcusable. Not only were you running late, but out of all spots you could choose, you opted for the one that belongs to your head coach? The one that has a placard with his name on it! Don't feel too bad for Okoye, though, he's currently listed on the Dallas Cowboys who have a history of being much more lenient when it comes to enforcing rules.
