Photo of the week: Bring your own spear

By Matt Stroup

To clarify: If you run onto the field of play during a major league baseball game, you are going to get bludgeoned by security, if not tased (then bludgeoned).

However, if you sidle up alongside a pack of competitors at the Tour de France on your trusty steed while wearing what appears to be a park ranger's outfit and holding aloft what appears to be a 10-foot wooden spear, you only get so much as a wayward "Umm, what is that guy doing?" glance.

And it's that last question - What is that guy doing? - that continues to linger in our mind. If he is legitimately just a park ranger type, we're having trouble accounting for the spear. And if he is just a random guy on a horse with a spear, then we're having trouble accounting for the park ranger outfit.

Then again, we probably shouldn't overthink it too much. Clearly none of the security personnel was doing so at the Tour de France.
