It was video that was kind of hard to forget.
A rogue, runaway golf cart, pylon wedged on the gas pedal, plowing into a group of people standing at mid-field after a Texas State championship football game.. The cart plowed them over, crashing into coach Willie Amendola, father of Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola and coach at Spring Dekaney High School. Amendola tried to stop the cart, before being tossed from it.
NFL.com reports Willie is suing Cowboys stadium for $1 million citing "great personal anguish and embarrassment".

And yes, the video did go viral, shown all over the Interwebs and quite frequently on T.V.
Here's our original story on it from December 18th, 2011 RIGHT HERE
We don't begrudge Amendola his right to be angry, he should be. Someone should have and we believe did get fired over the incident.
And while it was really funny to see, it doesn't make up for the fact someone did get hurt.
On the odd chance you haven't seen the video, here it is:

Lookout for the runaway Golf Cart!!!
((ht: star-telegram.com))
Whoa! You just don't see this happen very often.
Saturday night at the end of the Texas 5A, Division II Championship game, the teams, coaches, officials and others gathered on the field to shake hands at the end of the game when it happened.
Somehow, a golf cart broke loose, careening onto the field and plowing over multiple people on the field. One man was apparently sent to the hospital with a leg injury and a couple other people were injured or shaken up trying to dodge the renegade cart.

Nobody has been able, at this time, to explain how the cart managed to break free with the accelerator on. And yeah, it is alternately scary and funny to watch.
**Note**--Check out Spring Dekaney coach Willie Amendola who was in the middle of an interview when he gets bumped into the passenger seat. He tries steering the cart before getting tossed from the bucking bronco...
So with that in mind, here is your video:
