One of the signature calls of Super Bowl LV is bound to be “Someone has run on the field. Some guy with a bra!” Of course, if you only consumed the Buccaneers’ win over the Chiefs via TV, you would have missed it.
Calling the action of an “idiot on the field” has become a staple of Kevin Harlan’s work on Westwood One and Super Bowl LV was no exception.
With just over five minutes left in the game, a man jumped on to the field at Raymond James Stadium dressed in shorts and what appeared to be a women’s bathing suit. Harlan sprang into action.
Harlan called the action as fans breached security and made their way onto the field three separate times during the 2016 season alone. During the 2019 season, he called the action as a black cat tried to avoid security guards and custodians on the field at Met Life Stadium.
At one point, Harlan had told Charles Curtis of USA Today’s For the Win blog that he was done giving the absurd happenings outside of the game the play-by-play treatment, and that may still be true. Just when you think you’re out, other worldly forces have a strange habit of pulling you back in though and during Super Bowl LV, those other worldly forces showed up in the form of a pudgy man in a pink swimsuit, black shorts, and neon yellow shoes.
