"Ugh, that was the most exciting thing to happen tonight."Kevin Harlan and Kurt Warner had the unenviable task of describing the second game of Monday Night Football's season opener between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams last night for radio listeners, but Harlan made some bangin' lemonade out of those lemons early in the fourth quarter. As Case Keenum got the Rams ready to run a third-and-4 play from his own 31-yard line, a fan in a red shirt managed to elude security and scampered across the field, running right through Rams wide receivers and their San Francisco defenders.While TV broadcasts generally refrain from showing and otherwise acknowledging what is happening as a deterrence to future streakers—Chris Berman and Steve Young quickly noted what we all saw and then went back to discussing the game—it's apparently a little different on the radio. Harlan gave a stirring call as the fan darted around the field"Some goofball in a hat and red shirt. Now he takes off the shirt. He's running down the middle by the 50, he's at the 30, he's bare-chested and banging his chest, now he runs the opposite way! He runs to the 50, he runs to the 40, the guy is drunk but there he goes! The 20, they're chasin' em, they're not gonna get him, waving his arms, bare-chested—somebody stop that man! Oh they got 'em, they're comin' from the left, ohhh and they tackle him at the 40-yard line!…Ugh, that was the most exciting thing to happen tonight."The 49ers beat the Rams 28-0.[ESPN]Kevin Harlan is a national treasure: pic.twitter.com/CQFjPxkTMX
