Kid Takes Matters Into His Own Hands

I don't know... maybe this kid wanted to take out the ref... maybe not. Just seems like too much of a coincidence. My guess, his dad hates ref's and this young guy wanted to make daddy proud.

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. -- A young child drove a golf cart onto a high school football field and hit a referee before the start of the game last week.

The incident happened before the Thurston and North Eugene high school football game Oct. 17.

Security camera footage captured the scene.

The golf cart emerges on the field and drives toward the unsuspecting official.

People can be seen chasing the golf cart across the field.

Afterward, people attend to both the referee and the child in the golf cart.

The child, who was not a Springfield School District student, did not intend to hit the referee but couldn't control the cart, said Jeff DeFranco with the school district.

Details are sparse at this time regarding why the child was on the cart or whether the referee suffered any injury.

DeFranco said a spectator told him the referee officiated the game after the incident.

Ref Tackles Player

This is the type of thing you'd expect to see in lower level football, or perhaps more likely the WWE, not a high profile College Football game on National TV. For whatever reason, the ref in this video literally throws a shoulder into the South Carolina quarterback as he scrambles through the middle of the field. Seriously... did he forget what uniform he was wearing. I didn't believe it when I first read about it, but watching this video makes you really scratch your head and wonder what he was thinking:

Hey, is that Erin Andrews?

You've probably seen this by now, considering it was posted over at Deadspin. But, it involves a referee, and it's funny. So, that's good enough for me:



Considering this was an ESPN cameraman, maybe the ref's excuse was there was a certain someone named Erin Andrews on the sidelines.
