Earlier yours truly watched some of the Minnesota

Earlier yours truly watched some of the Minnesota  @ San Fran NFL exhibition game. Likely to the surprise of few, the 49ers were giving the Vikes a bit of a beatdown. Then something else happened not once, but twice.

That was a fan running on to the field. Hard telling what provokes certain fans to do such a thing on rare occasions. Maybe too much alcohol, maybe a dare or a bet, or maybe their lover just jilted them in the stands a few minutes earlier and they snapped resulting in them running amok. Who knows?

But the TV people are the ultimate hypocrites when such things happen. In their, ahem, infinite wisdom a while back, the TV folks, likely with the approval of the NFL, decided when such things happened they would not show the person or persons running on the field. Evidently, they came to the conclusion that giving an "idiot" air time would only encourage more copycats to do the same. After all, EVERYBODY wants to be on TV, right?
