Sneaky little kid

Excuse me for having an opinion, but you put your kids in sports for many reasons. One of them is to teach them about hard work and fair play. You hope they experience the thrills of winning after working hard and you hope they learn how to be good losers and develop the ambition to try harder to succeed. Then some coach comes along and pulls some crap like that and it totally goes against everything a good parent should be trying to teach their kids. All that play did was teach those kids about looking for shortcuts. I feel sorry for any kid raised in an environment where that kind of stuff is encouraged and praised!
 
would someone give him the weekly "Tear Towel of Death"

god dude, relax man
 
Classless punks pull stunts like this in pop warner football league!
 
Kill that som' ***** kid. KILL HIM!!!!

Then kill his som' ***** coach!!!!
 
haha, typical quotes from pissed off Parents, LOL!

BTW, I was a Soccer coach for 6 years. Great record, and had to kick Parents off the sideline many times
 
I watched it again and I'm almost 100% positive that is a totally illegal play. The center did not snap the ball, he just stood up and handed the ball to the QB. That has to be a false start or something. I'm almost positive the snap has to go through the center's legs and you can clearly see that the center just handed the ball kind of over his shoulder to the QB.
 
If I was the other team, i'd find the vehicle of the coach who did that, and pummel it with our little Riddell helmets until it was like three quarters of it's original size.

I don't think it's awesome that a grown coach takes advantage of the opposing kids and show them up.

It was sneaky and unsportmanlike.

I hope this coach gets reprimanded for getting his QB involved and the game is forfeited to tell all the kids that you play in the spirit of good sportsmanship and not terribly tricky plays that takes advantage of naivette and innocence on the kids' part.

If this standard of conduct is kept, god help the Pee Wee leagues.:(

oh good gawd dude, you sound like a Mini-Van Driving Soccer Mom, who's Son got burnt on a goal kick, or pulled from the game because he sucked.

Its unfortunate that you minimize this trick play that made the kids on the other feel cheated. To say nothing about what that idiot coach taught their kids: that trickery will get you ahead instead of work and perserverance.

I don't understand people minimizing the harm to kids and those kids' outlook on the sport now.

I don't care if Wade or the NFL does that. THAT would be funny.
But don't do stuff at the expense of kids.

:(

Conversely, you could teach them a valuable lesson early in life: trust no one.

I don't like you, but I loved this post

:starspin
 
when I heard the (I'm assuming) coach say "go, GO!".... I had this feeling overcome me...

I really would have ran from my sideline to his and beat his head in with my helmet until it resembled what the grass looks like through my watery eyes after a night of very heavy drinking

j/k, I wouldn't.... but I would feel like it.

what a bullcrap play. first of all it's pee wee football, where kids are supposed to learn the game the RIGHT way. If I were a father of one of those kids, I would pull my kid and put him on the OTHER team.

Don't give me the well learning that a snap is a snap is a snap answer either. Trickery is a part of the game but that's just beyond low IMO.

Balls! Either the play is legal, or it's not. The game has rules for a reason, and there's nothing wrong with or unfair about a trick play. It keeps things fun for the team with the trick, and keeps the other guys on their toes.

One year in HS football, we'd played our guts out against a better team and fell just short. Their QB was running the clock out and was dancing around in the pocket (literally, dancing) trying to buy a few extra seconds and being cute. His whole line was looking over its shoulder at him and giggling. From my MLB spot, about six yards down the field, I got a running start at their center. Hit him just as he turned around, right in the chin, just as the QB *finally* took his knee. Perfectly legal. Center did a 360 in the air over his now-kneeling QB and landed face down in the mud. "Still giggling?" I asked on my way back to my side of the field. The point is, sometimes it doesn't pay to get cute, sometimes it does. They have whistles for a reason, and it's not all that hard to remember to play until you hear a whistle, even in Pop Warner.

I don't think the snap has to go through the centers legs. I have seen the swinging gate run with the ball snapped to the sides, but not through the centers legs.

I don't know if raising up and handing the ball over the shoulder constitutes a snap. I would not think that it would qualify.

The play should have been ruled dead by the officials. The team does not have to call time out to get a new ball. They motion to the official and the official stops the clock. For some reason the officials did not stop the clock for this play once the QB motioned something wrong with the ball.
 
Article 3 The snap (3-31) may be made by any offensive player who is on the line
but must conform to the following provisions:
(a) The snap must start with ball on ground with its long axis horizontal and at right
angles to line, and
(b) The impulse must be given by one quick and continuous motion of hand or hands of
snapper. The ball must actually leave or be taken from his hands during this motion.
(c) The snapper may not:
(1) move his feet abruptly from the start of snap until the ball has left his hands;
(2) have quick plays after the neutral zone starts if the officials have not had a
reasonable time to assume their normal stances.

This was in the NFL rule book.
 
They should have a kid fake an epileptic seizure, and then when the other players stop to make sure he's ok, have the quarterback run for a touchdown. Then, when he scores, he can pretend to moon the other team or do some other kind of kick-arse celebration to signal what suckers the other team is.

That would be awesum! And even more so because there's nothing in the rules against faking a seizure!



By the way, I'm not one of those annoying "repost" people, but for the record: http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91282

Fun video to watch.

As for the rest of the thread...I could really imagine some of the people commenting on it being the type of people that beat up refs or coaches during their sons peewee football because of this or that reason.

I mean it was just a game among some kids having fun and people are acting like it was a great philosophical debate on life or something.

Sometimes you just have to enjoy some entertainment for what it is...entertainment.

:cool: :)
