NFL broadcasts have been known for having some questionable and confusing graphics packages over the years.
But during the second quarter of Sunday’s rivalry showdown between the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys, NBC’s Sunday Night Football telecast displayed a graphic that ended up finishing with a bonfire on San Francisco’s Baker Beach.
There were several parts of the graphic to break down for their aesthetic choices around Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. But there is one major problem with the graphic:
Bonfires are prohibited from Baker Beach.
Listed as the third question in the Presidio’s FAQ section is the question, “Can you have a bonfire at Baker Beach?”
The answer: “At Baker Beach, bonfires are prohibited. Fires are only permitted in the fixed grills provided at the picnic area, east of the main parking lot.”
That’s also the answer on the National Park Service’s Golden Gate National Recreation Area website. That site specifies that all fires are prohibited on Spare The Air days, too.
Sunday’s graphic from NBC shows Prescott on top of a white horse, for some reason, at the beach that sits at the far northwest corner of San Francisco. The headline for the graphic is about the Cowboys' new "Texas Coast" offense.
Prescott — who is wearing a Cowboys white jersey with brown pants and a brown cowboy hat (that may be Photoshopped onto his head) — goes from on the horse to standing there with a football before throwing it to his left, with the horse running by.

That’s not a bonfire.

spare the air by not watching the NFL
“ The graphic repeats the throw a few times as it shows the change in Prescott’s interceptions.”
Why are most articles incomprehensible?
Why would someone buy a paper with such worthless articles?

In this nut job state? YEAH
You can crap on the sidewalk in downtown SF but if you have an illegal bonfire on the beach, yeah, your going to jail.
"Hello, 9-1-1? I want to report someone having fun.
It was probably more interesting than the game..................
Well there's the problem right there. They answered a different question than the one that was asked. Clearly you can build a bonfire there, all you need is fuel and a match. Fox showed the proof. Since San Fran is living in the post law and order era, that's all you need to know and any nonsense about needing permits is silly talk.
….and a brown cowboy hat (that may be Photoshopped onto his head…..
Brilliant journalism! Award-winning stuff!
That’s exactly why I stopped watching the national felon league, because of nonsense like this.
Watching what?
Texas “Coast”?!?!?! More like Texas “Toast”.
Well at least there’s the Rangers.

NBC Reporter: "I wouldn't have asked you if I didn't want an honest answer."
Homeless man: "Okaaaay..."
Quit breathing for 24 hours. Thanks in advance.
