Trick Play of the Decade

[reversethepolarity]

Okay, so I was watching the O'Reilly Factor tonight and he showed this video during his 'Pinheads & Patriots' portion. It's a trick play that a Middle School football team used to win a game.

Apparently, it's gotten some controversy. Some people say its an unsportsmanlike play and shouldn't be taught in schools. I think it's pretty dang awesome and I'd say that it's a good think to teach - it teaches kids to play fair, follow the rules, but still think outside the box. It's a very original and gutsy move and that Quarterback is a pretty smart kid. Oh, and I should add that it's a completely legal move.

Mostly, though, I just think it's amazing. So much fun. What about you guys?

I understand little of That Game You Over There Mistakenly Call "Football" ;D, but for my money, that shows admirable cunning and audacity. Doctor-esque, you might say. And yet, the man in yellow still nearly caught him, which just goes to show that cunning and audacity count for nothing unless you also have a bit of luck. Which is also very Doctor-esque, you could argue.

Hmph. Sorry, Merry, but I'm hopelessly lost Republican. Well, a Tea Partian, but that just gets confusing, so we'll stick with Republican.

Doctor-esque? That's a term I shall officially snag. And I agree. I can very much see the Doctor using a stunt like that if he had to play (the REAL) Football. = )

And I didn't know you were from Britain, JJ. That's cool.
