Your Middle School Play Of The Week

The game of football has provided some amazing trick plays at all levels, from Pee Wee to the pros, and this one pulled off by Driscoll Middle School in Corpus Christi, Texas is certainly among the best of them.

Looking to catch their opposition off guard, the center snaps the ball over his should in a rather unorthodox manner. With the defenders looking on as if the play hadn't begun, Driscoll's quarterback steps through the line before unexpectedly speeding off for the end zone.

The snapper clearly snaps the ball in one smooth continuous motion over his shoulder, making it a legal snap, and one of the most spectacular touchdowns you may ever see.



Clevelanders Respond To LeBron James’ “Rise” Commercial

Both South Park and Ohio's Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher have already offered up their responses to LeBron James' "Rise" commercial, but what many of us have continued to wonder is, "How do the people of Cleveland feel about LeBron's message?"

Finally, it appears as though we have an answer to that very question.

I thought LeBron's original commercial was pathetic powerful stuff. However, it pales in comparison to this response from the loyal Clevelanders, who don't appear as though they will be forgiving James anytime soon.



South Park Goes In on LeBron James “What Should I Do?” Commercial

LeBron James seems like a well-intentioned guy but he lost a lot of love from the public after
A) Bowing out to the Celtics in a strange, almost uninterested fashion,
B) “The Decision”, and
C) Everything he’s done since then.

LeBron says via Twitter that he’s keeping tabs on anybody taking shots at him and then everybody takes shots at him for his tweet. LeBron says racism played a part in the reaction to “The Decision” (Which it did. Race plays a factor in everything in the U.S. from people wanting to “take our country back” to folks hating on Brett Favre.) and then he’s accused of playing the race card.

The damning on both sides of the fence left James asking us what he should do and while the well done NIKE commercial got people talking it also got mocked. First by Michelle Beadle on Sportsnation and now by South Park. I can’t tell if Cartman’s last line is meant to come from him or speak for LeBron.. Maybe it’s a little of both.





High School Football Announcer Goes Nuts

While calling a game between the South Boston Patriots and the Worcester Patriots (yeah, both local Boston schools are nicked the Patriots), quarterback Sully O’Malley (of course) throws what is clearly a “five yahd backwards pass”, making it a live ball, and the defender keenly grabs it and takes it to the end zone for a touchdown. But those fahkin’ refs can’t get anything right and they call it an incomplete pass, nullifying the score and ruining the lives of the two announcers. BOO! BOO YOU FREAKIN’ RETAHDS! YOU RUINED THE FAHKIN’ GAME!
