Retired New England Patriots safety and NFL analyst Rodney Harrison required some help from an assistant during the NBC Sports broadcast on Sunday night. Someone had to hold an umbrella for him.
It seems as if Harrison decided not to use an umbrella, which backfired. The rain picked up and, rather than take the umbrella from an assistant, Harrison decided to simply let that individual take care of the rain coverage. It made for a hilarious scene, with the other three broadcasters holding their own umbrella. Here’s a look at the still frame that made for endless jokes on Twitter from media members, former players and fans.
