Some men just want to be seen. And some men want to be seen so desperately they sneak onto a football field during an NFL game as security guards chase him around the field, causing an entire spectacle of the thing. And some men, well, some men are Kevin Harlan. And men like Kevin Harlan just want to commentate a scene like that.
He got his chance Monday Night in a game between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams. If you weren’t excited by football already, this incredible call will remind you why love the sport. I lost it when, mid-call, he delivered the line, “The guy is drunk!”
Watch this play-by-play call.

And while that was a thing of beauty, reading this transcription of Harlan’s call is also a treat. Especially with lines like, “They are surrounding him like he…like he just robbed a bank!”
To borrow Harlan’s word, let’s all give much thanks to this “goofball.”
