I'm latterally stunned.

Does the game 'Hot Potato' come to mind for anybody else?
Posted by: almne | October 28, 2007 at 05:38 PM
in the n.f.l ,reviewing the play would take hours!
Posted by: insomniac | October 28, 2007 at 05:39 PM
If I was a coach, there would be some serious tackling drills/dummies on monday's practice. Followed by suicides.
Posted by: Meditrina | October 28, 2007 at 05:39 PM
Maybe the Dolphins ought to hire their special teams coach. At the rate their going, it may be the only way Miami wins a game this season.

It seems to be real, according to this news account.
Those defenders tackled like I used to.
Wonderful stuff.

ushers in a whole new era of special teams play...

um...what's the big deal?? isn't that the way volleyball is played??
*hair flip*
Posted by: Siouxie | October 28, 2007 at 05:51 PM
I may need to amend my choice in coach's to hire. I gathered it was Cal/Stanford all over again, thus a special teams play. I'm still waiting to watch as the slow ass dial-up still hasn't downloaded it yet.

OT:
things are getting pretty scary over here.

Some costumes leave one speachless.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 06:17 PM
I'm willing to bet the other team did not find that so amazing, haha!
Posted by: Wench Lizzy | October 28, 2007 at 06:17 PM
Naw, it was the offense, not the special teams.
Bucs up by 3... may I open a vein now?
Posted by: CJrun | October 28, 2007 at 06:27 PM
WOW, WYO.
If she has a whip and some handcuffs, I got a proposal.
Posted by: igloo | October 28, 2007 at 06:28 PM
she made swear that I can't tell who it is. so I won't.

Posted by: daisymae | October 28, 2007 at 06:31 PM
It's OK, Wyo. You can tell.
Posted by: Hottie in the Picture | October 28, 2007 at 06:35 PM
psssst, cj, that's a 6! :>
Posted by: crossgirl | October 28, 2007 at 06:36 PM
nice try, igloo. I'm not that dumb. close, but not that dumb.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 06:37 PM
DAMN, Wyo. I know who it is and I wanted to tease her. Mostly I'm just jealous cuz she's sooooo hot.
I'll just have to tease her privately. Phooey. ;)
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 06:38 PM
*SNORK!!!* at igloo. You're bad, boy.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 06:39 PM
ummmmm, nevermind that 6.
Posted by: crossgirl | October 28, 2007 at 06:40 PM
Oh, and as for Nymphadora, I'm thinking DavCat.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 06:40 PM
It's on SI.com as real. 15 laterals, 46 seconds of real time, but no band.
Posted by: Gene | October 28, 2007 at 06:43 PM
Wyo, those are great pics!
I counted 13 laterals in that video clip, but I might have missed one. Or twelve.
Posted by: Just Ducky | October 28, 2007 at 06:46 PM
Thanks for gettin' us back on topic. For a while I thought I was watchin' rugby.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 06:48 PM
Thanks, Gene. I grew up in San Antonio. Trinity is a small, private college there.
Bet that team had enough adrenaline pumping to power the city of San Antonio for a week!
Psst, daisymae: WWBAGNFARBBTW?? What's RBBTW?
Posted by: Just Ducky | October 28, 2007 at 06:48 PM
Jags up by 1...phbpbtbtbt @ crossgirl!
Posted by: CJrun | October 28, 2007 at 06:49 PM
May not have been the best football play ever, but certainly the poorest ever defensed. Good Lord! They had guys on the sidelines a couple of times and...nothing. Apparently the defensive coach must have worked for the Texans recently. Thank God the NBA season is just around the corner.
Posted by: Doc Rick | October 28, 2007 at 06:51 PM
*recognizes those boobs*
that's all I'm sayin'!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | October 28, 2007 at 06:52 PM
Siouxie, don't call the halloween-garbed bloglits Boobs.... they're Boogers!
Posted by: Meditrina | October 28, 2007 at 06:56 PM
*SNORK!* Siouxie!! LOL
Ducky, the RBBTW would be "Rock Band, By The Way."
CJ - I'm prayin' for your Jags here.
And Wyo - the Bears'll come back strong next game. Lots of animals panic when confronted with the kings of the forest.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 06:57 PM
somehow the cowardly lion's song is now stuck in my head. thanks for nothin', Diva.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 07:02 PM
You're SO welcome, Wyo! I live to please. ;-P
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 07:06 PM
You can't take sides, Diva... the crossgirl faction is Bucs.
Posted by: CJrun | October 28, 2007 at 07:06 PM
Is that legal? I have never seen any team attempt such a play before.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | October 28, 2007 at 07:13 PM
Ohhhh. I guess I didn't pick up on that. :-\ Well, just call me...you know.
Posted by: Switzerland | October 28, 2007 at 07:13 PM
Well at least the Texans made a charitable contribution to the residents of San Diego psyches today. Too bad about da cubs...I mean Bears. And I still believe the Jags can take down the Colts. They just need to have a healthy offense the next time around.
Posted by: Doc Rick | October 28, 2007 at 07:14 PM
Diva's right RBBTW is 'rock band, by-the-way'.
Posted by: daisymae | October 28, 2007 at 07:15 PM
Edgar, as long as all of the throws go to a player behind the one pitching it, it's legal. The Cal/Stanford play had quite a few "questionable" laterals.
Posted by: Doc Rick | October 28, 2007 at 07:15 PM
Somebody tell me why the BOT hit me 3 times before posting that message?
Posted by: daisymae | October 28, 2007 at 07:16 PM
Is that legal?
is what legal, the costume or the play?
(sometimes I get distracted.)
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 07:17 PM
Doc - Pbthththth.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 07:17 PM
thanks a lot, diva. thbttttffffpppp.
good game, cj.
Posted by: crossgirl | October 28, 2007 at 07:18 PM
Good game, lots of young players, lots of 10-plus year veterans. Down to the last 30 seconds, Jags by 1!
Posted by: CJrun | October 28, 2007 at 07:18 PM
Wyo - re: the costume. It's only legal in 32 states and Haiti. I'm just highly depressed because I've never looked that good in anything. Or nothing, as the case may be.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 07:19 PM
Sorry, cg, but you KNOW I can't really pick sides. *sigh* I didn't know y'alls had a rivalry goin' here.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 07:21 PM
Go Trinity! ;-)
Posted by: Just Ducky | October 28, 2007 at 07:23 PM
GO ROCKIES! Rocktober ain't over till its over! Oh, and the CUBS SUCK! VIVA DUSTY BAKER!!!
Posted by: Doc Rick | October 28, 2007 at 07:23 PM
Doc. You're grounded. Yes, I do have that power. Pththththththth.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 07:24 PM
I'm with you, Doc. although I love Sioux. Go Rockies!!
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 07:24 PM
Hey Ducky, don't the San Antonio Missions play down on Trinity's campus? I know they were associated with the Dodgers back in the '80s.
Posted by: Doc Rick | October 28, 2007 at 07:25 PM
Gumball, Doc?
Posted by: Just Ducky | October 28, 2007 at 07:25 PM
Don't you be giving him any gumballs, Ducky! He doesn't deserve them after that crack against my boys. Humph.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 07:26 PM
By 1? No way! How do you win a football game by 1?
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | October 28, 2007 at 07:27 PM
Maybe, Doc. I haven't kept up with the SA minors. We have the Round Rock Express to keep us occupied here in Austin.
Posted by: Just Ducky | October 28, 2007 at 07:28 PM
Gumball, Diva? ;-)
Posted by: Just Ducky | October 28, 2007 at 07:29 PM
edgar, you have one more point than your opponent.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 07:31 PM
Let's see them do that again.
I was referring to the football play.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | October 28, 2007 at 07:32 PM
Well put, Wyo! That's exactly what Mr. Ducky would have said. One time I was surprised about the outcome of a game I hadn't been able to watch, and asked him, "How did that happen?" His reply: "The other team scored more points." *Snork*
Posted by: Just Ducky | October 28, 2007 at 07:33 PM
Mmf. Fanks, Ducky. Took two.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 07:35 PM
DD - Not many people ever have looked that good. Mr. gjd was a *bit* too interested in having a look. I told him he didn't blog, so he can't look.
Posted by: gjd | October 28, 2007 at 07:37 PM
Ducky, Diva is just upset because every team in her beloved Chicago has stunk this year. Of course, so have all the Houston teams, but I called her teams losing poopy heads 1st so I win. BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!! *Go Rockets!*
Posted by: Doc Rick | October 28, 2007 at 07:39 PM
*I'm glad I blog, and have the right to look*
'scuse me.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 07:41 PM
Children, leave the blog and go stand in a corner until you can be nice.
Because I'm the Mom and I said so.
Posted by: gjd | October 28, 2007 at 07:41 PM
Edgar, field goals get you 6s, touchdowns get you 7s.
Posted by: CJrun | October 28, 2007 at 07:42 PM
This video clip is probably the first football I've watched voluntarily in about 20 years.
I still don't get it.
Posted by: gjd | October 28, 2007 at 07:43 PM
Field goals get you 3's, touchdowns get you 6's, and extra points after touchdowns can get you either 1 or 2 points depending on whether you kick it or run a regular play. Safeties account for 2 points as well.
Posted by: Doc Rick | October 28, 2007 at 07:50 PM
gjd - LOL @ your depr
iaved hubby. :-)Also - Doc and I go through this every week cuz he's just can't bear to denigrate teams with a weak fan base.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 07:52 PM
I wasn't trying to make you look bad CJ. I got what you were saying but a lot of casual fans probably don't.
Posted by: Doc Rick | October 28, 2007 at 07:53 PM
I saw it on the local news so the play must be real, and yes it did appear legal.
Nice
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | October 28, 2007 at 07:53 PM
Edgar;
Touchdown=6 pts
Field Goal=3 pts
safety=2 pts
extra point=1 pt
Thus
ƒg⇒ΣScore∀pts∋ ∴ ≡ 1
Simple
Posted by: Hottie in the Picture | October 28, 2007 at 07:53 PM
keep trying, igloo. wyo's still not buying. ;-)
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 07:54 PM
When you figure that out, we'll get ya started on Aussie rules and rugby. ;-)
Posted by: Meditrina | October 28, 2007 at 07:54 PM
Oh Med, please don't make me learn new rules. I will be attending my 5th hockey game in 5 years shortly and I still don't know what the heck is going on unless the puck winds up in the net.
Posted by: Doc Rick | October 28, 2007 at 07:58 PM
LOL, Med. Funny.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 07:58 PM
Rick. Do you know soccer? Really very similar... just a lot faster and (tehehehe) bloodier.
Posted by: Meditrina | October 28, 2007 at 08:00 PM
Oh, hockey is easy. You hit the puck with the stick and run around the bases before it gets hit back over the net unless you get tagged and then you have to freeze until someone else tags you.
Posted by: gjd | October 28, 2007 at 08:01 PM
Hmmm. Mainly, a team that is settling for field goals gets the even numbers and a nail-biter. That game was a nail-biter. It is now time to switch to brownies.
Posted by: CJrun | October 28, 2007 at 08:02 PM
DD... I figured it was in good fun. Just an unfortunate reflex I have. LOL
Posted by: gjd | October 28, 2007 at 08:02 PM
Ok, the lateral play was pretty cool, but check this out!
Posted by: Doc Rick | October 28, 2007 at 08:03 PM
I know the champions of the MSL are here in Houston. Otherwise, I only watch the Euros play it because the fans are nuttier than a tree full of squirrels. Before I die I want to attend a France/Germany football match just to see the carnage.
Posted by: Doc Rick | October 28, 2007 at 08:06 PM
I did that once, Doc. But I was on horseback. Does it still count.
You seem to know a lot about sports. Ever think of working in the industry?
*dux*

gjd - you're a mom. It's legit. :)
Doc - that was a WILD video!! Cool!
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 08:10 PM
Rick that IS cool!
And Siouxie... just go back to picking your teams because of the uniform colors :)
*ducking*
Posted by: CTProf | October 28, 2007 at 08:10 PM
OK, now that we've got all that figured out, how the hell does cricket work?
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 28, 2007 at 08:11 PM
By rubbing it's hind legs.
Posted by: Hottie in the Picture | October 28, 2007 at 08:11 PM
Cricket? They just rub their back legs together and that's what makes the pretty chirping. I've tried that, but I only get funny looks. Oh, and I just mean my legs - not my BACK legs. I only have one set.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 28, 2007 at 08:13 PM
Ohhhhhhhh that was lowwwwwww Mr. Prof!!
I did like the Jags uniforms though..nice shade of aqua. ;-)
My fav color is still the Vikings. Purple.

What? Isn't that how you're supposed to do it? I mean, not the ONLY way. The little pictures on their hats have to be pretty, too.

NTTAWWT, of course...if you're into that.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 28, 2007 at 08:17 PM
Siouxie - pay no attention to the man behind the screen pass. I'm picking teams by their purty logos. I have yet to watch a game this year, and I've got the most points in my league.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 28, 2007 at 08:18 PM
"Hottie", I'm just going to reach up and snick that apostrophe away for you, 'kay?
Posted by: gjd | October 28, 2007 at 08:18 PM
Rick, anyone can do that. We had this guy here at RU, way back when Rutgers was good. But, all good things come to an end they say.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | October 28, 2007 at 08:19 PM
gjd, exactly!!!
I mean...it's not like they have to be good at playing or anything. It's how you look. Nice butts are a plus too.
*hair flip*
Posted by: Siouxie | October 28, 2007 at 08:19 PM
Wyo, it's simple: you defend your wicket. The bowler hurls the ball at you on a one-hop, trying to hit your wicket. You defelect, parry, and whallop, forever, if you can keep whalloping and get runs for a Not Out. Marvelous game, because you are even allowed to pivot around and wail the ball behind you... in cricket, the Hoi Polloi behind the catcher and ump don't exist; you can spin and hit it backwards. Fun game! First time I ever tried it, I looked at the coach and asked him, "So this is legal?"
