Poor sound guy blown up during Vikes player intros

General rule of thumb: When the fog is coming out of the Viking ship, halt.

A poor sound guy working for the FOX coverage team learned this lesson the hard way before the start of Sunday's matchup between the Vikings and Cardinals at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The man ping-ponged off 6-foot-3, 259-pound Brian Robison and into 6-foot-4, 329-pound Linval Joseph before slamming into the turf at the speed of sound. I sincerely hope the man is OK, because that was not pleasant.

I like Joseph's reaction: "What was that? Did I just kill a guy? Should I go back? Nahhhhh."
