The Minnesota Vikings got absolutely leveled during their lopsided NFC Wild Card loss to Green Bay on Saturday, 24-10. Backup quarterback Joe Webb was forced into action after starter Christian Ponder was unable to play. The results were painful.And such was the case for Minnesota reporter Lee Valsvik, who got pancaked on the air by one of her camera man as she was trying to deliver a pregame segment. The scene of the crime happened at Union Restaurant, an upscale eatery that apparently offers grilled salmon with red win oxtail sauce, among other delicacies.About midway through the broadcast, Valsvik hands the ball to mixologist Johnny Michaels, who tosses to a camera man, who then proceeds to go all Adrian Peterson and runs over Valsvik while running full steam ahead.Valsvik turned out to be just fine, but the Vikings, on the other hand, were not.Via Deadspin.
