Video: MNF announcer's call likely to go down in history as one of the best ever
If you missed last night’s second Monday Night Football game between the Niners and the Rams, you didn’t miss much action between the two teams. The game was absolutely ugly, as a pitiful San Francisco team shutout the Rams 28-0.
Despite the lack of action on the field, one memorable thing did take place when a fan ran out onto the field. The moment was highlighted beautifully by announcer Kevin Harlan, whose call shall live in infamy as one of the most entertaining you are likely to hear all season:

Also of note, Harlan is the father of new SEC Network sideline reporter Olivia Harlan. Olivia worked last weekend’s Georgia-Nicholls game and took the time to acknowledge her father’s excellence last night.
I know my Dad said something great on MNF @WestwoodOne radio when my Twitter blows up. Dad, you're in midseason form https://t.co/MBTG49uUyB

As you can see for yourself, Olivia not only gets her love of broadcast from her father, she got his sense of humor to boot. Olivia posted this video on Twitter with the caption: ‘Wanna see some TV magic? Here’s the nodding you see on SportsCenter. More awkward in person like this right?’

Cops should have left him alone and let him ruin the damn game for the 49ers. Overpaid thugs.
He had more yards in those 30 seconds than the Rams had in total offense all night!
He was in the game longer than Kaepernick though…so good for him!
I remember a season or two ago when most Dawgs fans were ready to proclaim Gurley the 2nd coming of Walker. He did not impress last night.
Typical Alabama fan not knowing anything about football. No back can have an effective game when his team has no passing game, so the defense just stacks the box.
Shh! Don’t tell Les Miles! We wanna see LSU stomped by everybody this year.
Just curious…how are they thugs?
I imagine he’s just a typical racist. “Thugs” is the euphemistic way people get around saying the “n-word” these days.
Social Justice U at it again. Hey @AUgrad10, I’m surprised you didn’t hear (or maybe you forgot), but Colin Kaepernick who plays for the 49ers refused to stand during the national anthem. Thus people calling the team a bunch of thugs (although a few people joined him). While he has the right to not stand, if he wants people to really take his cause seriously, then he should pick a different way to protest to support his cause (which I still disagree with anyway). Don’t disrespect the flag of the country that allows you to be an asshat and make millions of dollars. There not another country in the world where everybody regardless of skin color can become something great. Even in europe it’s harder than here because of their socialized system of government.
And tigrito, go back to your safe space. A thug is a thug regardless of color.
The federal Gov had to step in and force you folks down South to let black folks into your schools. In fact, the Civil Rights Act is actually still controversial down there. Don’t bother arguing, these are facts.
You seem to forget that Missouri had a star on the rebel flag…
Well that was more entertaining than Chris Burman and Steve Young…and a hell of a lot more entertaining than that boring game.
Anyone else notice how ESPN handled it? I love that they gave this idiot zero tv time and focused on the coaches reactions the entire time. No doubt he’ll still become youtube famous, but he’ll forever be a low res clown.
Jeff Fisher looked like he was contemplating whether or not he could murder the dude and get away with it.
Actually I thought he was thinking about how maybe he should put that guy on the team because he was more productive than his team had been all night.
Good call
“Kevin Harlan, WHOSE call.” You wrote “who is.” Might want to brush up on your fifth grade grammar.
If you’re going to run out onto the field at least dip it right. You know, spend a couple weeks doing cardio before the debut. Wear as little clothing as possible so as to cover your skin in globs of Vaseline. Wear cleats. Double shot of espresso. Now you’re ready.
Looks like you’ve given this some thought. Are you in training or are you training someone for the upcoming Ole Miss vs. Bama game?
HA yes, I have thought about it. Of all the excuses there are as to why I won’t do it, I’m an aspiring criminal justice major. The last thing I want to be asked while sitting in a job interview is “So, tell us about these disorderly conduct and trespassing charges.” Put it this way, if things don’t work out for me down the road, you’ll know it!
Well, watching Olivia pace the sidelines was definitely the highlight of the UGA game last Saturday
