NFL oddity ... for CraigL

[Omag 2.0]

I'm not much into American Football, but this morning I saw an item they even showed at the Belgian television...

Apperantly an Eagles fan jumped onto the field during the last game, took out a bag of powder and released it while running across the pitch. 2 Security-guards followed him and took the guy out.

He explained his mother used to be a huge fan of the Eagles, but never got around to see them for real. So the guy spread the ashes of his belated mother on the field during a game, to make her dream come true... Guess she got really close to the players that way...

The idea was nice, but the realisation perhaps a bit less subtle...

Uhboy...  ::) I'm sure security was thinking: "Anthrax!!" at first; good thing they didn't just shoot him...
He might've been better off approaching maintenance personnel after hours with his touching story- they could've put her remains in a seed spreader or something and really done it right.
But it's probably Astroturf anyway...

My thoughts exactly Rottydaddy...

BTW... my morbid mind wonders how many hotdogs where eaten after that incident...

lol and it was against Green Bay. Poor old Brett Favre thats the second time this season a game of his has had a person running onto the pitch.
Thanks Omag for the heads up

The last thing I would want to do to my poor mother is spread her around Lincoln Financial Field.

They could at least try to do it properly. I mean, proper UK style Rugby/Cricket/Tennis streakers...

Mind you I don't suppose the US Police have the comedy helmets to cover up the offending privates...


Australian Michael O'Brien, Twickenham 1974, England v France...

Found that pic on a very funny website, devoted to Britain's best streakers, but I shan't post the link here. This is a family forum...

At least they would be kept company by Jimmy Hoffa.
