    McNutt Skycam falling Insight Bowl

    The battle between tech and humans is nothing new to us, though usually we're trying to pry our eyes away from our Twitter feed, not running away from a flying camera. The latter's precisely what happened to Iowa receiver Marvin McNutt Jr. at the Insight Bowl college football game on Saturday. ESPN's remote-controlled Skycam fell from the sky towards the end of the game, and the ensuing tangle of wires caught a few players. McNutt (wearing the white number 7 jersey) thankfully left the encounter with merely a scratch. A little Truman Show, don't you think?
