Greatest (American) football trick play of all time!

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

Cute as hell.
Wish the Skins had thought of something half as sneaky. Ugh.

I'd hate to be the ref on that game. I'm not an expert on Egghand but the play seems legal to me but I doubt many will agree.

Haha! That was fantastic! The only thing that I question is the 'snap'. I'm not sure that was legal. If it was, though... the play was brilliant!

I saw a man walking with a ball, does this constitute brilliance in american football?

You saw a man walk through a line of men that were supposed to stop him... and then, once he was past them, he ran for a touchdown (score), because they were too confused to know what was going on. He tricked them, by pretending that he wasn't actually engaging in a play.

Wait a minute that game looks a lot like rugby.
But with added padding.
Bunch of cissies.

The padding is needed, since there are a lot more hard impacts than in rugby. Even with all that padding, broken bones, twisted joints, and concussions happen very regularly. The games are superficially similar, but they are really quite different. American football is far rougher and more violent than rugby, although rugby fans don't like to hear that.
Go ahead. Call an American football player a sissy to his face. The average size is somewhere around 6' 2" to 6' 6" tall and 250 to 300 lbs... and they slam into each other as hard as they possibly can... over and over again.
Don't be so dismissive of something about which you know nothing.
