Matt Lauer survives deer attack
A deer took down a Bobcat in Long Island this weekend.
“Today Show” host, hot dad and Ohio University graduate Matt Lauer survived a vicious run in with Bambi’s mom.
OK, that’s an exaggeration.
Lauer was riding a bike in Long Island when a deer jumped in his path, according to the Associated Press.
Lauer flipped over the handlebars and injured his shoulder.
He joked about the incident in an e-mail, saying that perhaps the deer was hired by competitors.
“I’d hire the deer,” Today Show co-host Meredith Vieira joked on the show that aired Monday, March 23. “But just to graze him.”
What do you think?
