I've watched this thing over and over...WTF!

It's a Jedi Mind Trick.

Very nonchalant, I like it.

Full of win

Ha! Awesome bluff.

Look at how much bigger the center is then the rest of the kids. Geez!

What lesson is this teaching kids? To win you have to play dirty?

I don't really call that playing dirty. He gambled, played with their heads, and won. I'm pretty sure Sun Tzu has a line in The Art of War about not doing what the enemy expects you to do.

Thing is though, a play like that only works once.

I think it's teaching how to think outside the box.

I hate stuff like this. I just don't think it's a very sporting thing to do. You're basically playing on the fact that the other team will be too afraid of tackling the guy because they believe it to be a dead ball situation. They are only middle school kids...I would be absolutely embarrassed to do this if I were a coach.

And further it's not a very responsible play call by the coach IMO because what if one of the other team's players is wise to what's going on and takes a 10 yard sprint and absolutely obliterates your QB? You are putting a kid in a pretty bad spot here.

Lots of 'wrong ball' plays on YouTube.

To all people saying this is awful and unsporting. It's SPORTS! Have a bit of fun it's not always about being all chivalrous and kind...it's sometimes about having a good laugh.

That was awesome! I'm not a football expert, but is it legal to snap the ball like that? If it is, then a good use of the rules =)
