Thank you, Uncle Dave.
Great to start the day off with a good laugh. Beautiful.
Did the team win?
That QB will be president one day!

I not so sure about gadget plays being “highly regarded”. They are definitely part of the game and part of what makes it fun. If a gadget play works, it is highly regarded. The problem is that many gadget plays fail and often when they fail, they failure is costly in terms of yardage or turnovers or at least downs. However, at the end of the day, if you are successful (which means it must be legal), then any amount of trickery is ok.
Now that is the very definition of the “Quarterback sneak”
People question the unorthodox hike, while some leagues may specify how the hike must be done, in general the play begins as soon as the center picks up the ball.
The center does not even have to give the ball to the quarterback (a play known as the “center sneak” which can sometimes get you much needed inches), or he can hike it pass the QB to the running back (known as the wild cat play). Both plays rely on the acting ability of the quarterback to pretend to have the ball and fool the defense.
Infiltration.

In most leagues, the rules state that the ball must be hiked through the center’s legs. This is definitely the case in the NFL and NCAA. I believe it is also true at the HS level.
I love this! I love how kids can be corrupted so easily. Man, I wish I can spend my days and quite possibly nights as well, teaching crap to kids. If only I was as great a person as that coach. And may I remind you this coach doesn’t even compare to the one that, y’know, picked up the armband with the other team’s play and used it against them
Now that’s a champ coach if I ever read one!
The trick play worked but that team ended up losing the game.
Looks like he was even yelling “wrong ball” before the play. Classic.
A pro lineman would remove your head for trying this, but it works on the kids.
This trick doesn’t always work. Watch the linebacker in the black jersey.
To the whiners complaining of bad sportsmanship: What’s the difference between this and a fake pass? Misdirection is part of the game, and outsmarting your opponents is one component to the competition.
