He fought a deer, and the deer won.

Well, not exactly. But "Today" show co-host Matt Lauer was absent from his morning talk show Monday after an incident with a deer that caused the TV personality to flip off his bicycle.

Lauer was riding his bike over the weekend when a deer suddenly jumped into his path.

Lauer flipped over the handlebars and sustained minor injuries, reps at NBC said.

"Matt's banged up with a displaced shoulder, it popped out," said co-host Meredith Vieira Monday. "Hopefully he'll be on the mend soon."

Lauer's probably not into hunting.

Gee: I hope the deer wasnt injured. hitting a fool like Laeur could be devastating to any self-respecting deer.

It’s Bush’s fault.

PETA needs to get right on that —> deer needs medical expenses paid as well as punitive damages ... deer also needs an immediate restraining order... nitwits like Matt are allowed to operate a moving vehicle in NY ????

I hope the deer paused at the side of the road, looked back and snorted in contempt before bounding away and waving its tail at Lauer in a most insulting manner.

Interesting, maybe he should stick with skiing! He was staying at the Ritz-Carlton and skiing at Beaver Creek 10 days ago. He skis well and wears a helmet.

Hell, I’d rather it took a leak on him before bounding off.

I think a better option would have been to steer left, or steer right. Or maybe veer left. or veer right.

When a deer is dear, veer or steer.

I like deers - I do not like liberals or MSM propagandists. I hope the deer is alright.
