Sometimes, keeping it real goes wrong. Case in point: this random guy at Saturday's annual Army-Navy Game in Philadelphia who just wanted to slap hands with some Midshipmen heading into the halftime break. Unfortunately, he wanted it too much.

Ouch! Face-first right down to the deck? That's no fun. And the distance of this awkward fall is not to be underestimated, either. That can't be fun, certainly not in this increasingly wintry northeastern weather.

That's what you get when you try to keep it as real as Vernon Franklin.

Never go full Franklin, big man. That's just too real. But I guess we all ultimately reap what we sow.
