After a dominating performance for the Seahawks, all Malcolm Smith planned on doing was answer questions and talk about being the Super Bowl MVP. Well, thanks to a strange guy that somehow found his way to the mic, that didn't happen as planned.

some guy just jumped onto podium with Malcolm Smith and yelled "9/11 was perpetrated by our own government!" into mic #bizzarro

Nope, Pete Carroll had nothing to do with it.

Pete Carroll? RT @sportswatch Someone interrupted Malcolm Smith presser and shouted: "9/11 was perpetrated by people in our own government!"

Pete Carroll! MT @JeffDuncan_: Some psycho just hijacked Percy Harvin's presser and said, "9/11 was perpetrated by its own government."
