Jags exec laughs off Gatorade dousing
Indianapolis Star, IN - 15 hours ago
A steady rain drenched the Indianapolis Colts' sideline during the Super Bowl Sunday, but it was a bystander - Dan Edwards - who got the Gatorade shower.

The 48-year-old Jacksonville Jaguars' executive - who was working the game on the behalf of the NFL - was standing just behind Colts' Coach Tony Dungy during the final minute of the Colts' 29-17 victory over the Bears.

A couple of Colts players doused Dungy with a white bucket of ice water. But then center Jeff Saturday and tackle Tarik Glenn whiffed as they tried to dump a second bucket onto Dungy. Instead, the sweet sticky orange sports drink cascaded onto Edwards, who was wearing a business suit. He seemed to momentarily disappear into the liquid.

Edwards said today that he's seen a video replay of the soaking - the kind of moment sure to work its way to a website like YouTube. Several friends in the media who know him have called to give him a ribbing. Newsday appears to be the first media outlet to identify him. Asked today by The Star if he saw his soaking coming, Edwards replied: "Obviously not. And they had really bad aim."

Ha ha! Funny story. Guess he's what they call "collateral damage," eh?
