--- Quote ---What I can say with 100% certainty was that it was noon PST at the corner of Larkin and California Streets. What I saw were two large guys wearing navy blue fleeces or jackets carrying what looked like a large locked trunk. I was across the street and they were facing the other direction. I'm not sure I could even hazard a guess based on those photos, although I would say with 90% certainty they were wearing navy blue. And the film crew were quite agro (they nearly knocked me over, which is why I noticed what they were doing) which leads me to believe it was actual footage they were after.

The Professional Bull Riders web site http://pbrnow.com lists Cord McCoy as 5'9"" and 150 pounds. From the picture I saw of Jet and Cord together, they are about the same size. Since TrebledTimes says the two guys he saw were large, I think that rules out the McCoys. My guess is that it is Mike and Louie.
I've been pondering where they would have been heading with a trunk in that neighborhood going from the Great American Music Hall to that intersection and I'm stumped. My first thought was that if they head west on California, they could be going to one of the historic old hotels on Nob Hill, a steep uphill climb of 5 to 6 blocks from there. However, I can't think of a good cover story reason for doing that as a task.
"Bellhop or Cable Drop. In old San Francisco, bellhops frequently had to carry entertainers luggage from the nightclub to their hotel. Alternately, San Francisco fireman have to be able to lower themselves down the sides of buildings on a rope. Your detour is to either haul luggage from the Great American Music hall to the Fairmont Hotel or to rappel down the side of Coit Tower."
That doesn't sound like final leg material to me. If the two guys with a trunk were running a decoy leg then they could have just been going in a random course to confuse people like us.

Yeah, the aggressive film crew (and he referred to them as they) doesn't fit with a decoy team given what has been done in past seasons. That confuses me too. Last season it was easy to spot because they just had one cameraman and no sound guy and they weren't very intense about what they were doing. Perhaps they are trying to make the decoys look more real this time.
Or perhaps we need more clues. :cmas11
