Sit down son...
No matter how much shit you put up with in your job, we don't think you'll ever be subjected to anything on this scale.
NFL sound operator Bernie Beaudry was minding his own business. It was a day like any other for him.
He passed in front of the tunnel on his way across the field, and in that moment, everything changed. For he had chosen an inopportune moment to make that particular journey.
At precisely that moment, the hulking figure of 147kg defensive tackle Linval Joseph and the rest of the Minnesota Vikings team emerged into the light of the football field... and found wee Bernie blocking their way amidst the smoke.
As expected, it didn't end well for Bernie...

Thankfully, after a couple of seconds on the ground contemplating his life choices, Bernie got back to his feet and continued on with his work like an absolute champion.
If only he'd gone a little lower, he might have been able to make the tackle... probably not though.
