Idiot On The Field Slips Several Tackles Before Being Detained By His Own Lack Of A Vertical
Here’s a dipshit invading the field in Houston tonight, as is the Idiot’s way. He dodges a few tackles but finds his path blocked by the very low right field wall; it’s still too tall for his limited leaping ability (though it looks like that might be an usher playing defense on him). ...
