General Sports Talk

At some point during seasons, some players are very reliable to score a TD, seem to score a TD every game. When they score a TD early in the game, they still seem to only get one score the whole game much more often than not.

Derrick Henry of Titans 99 yard TD run last night. I counted him getting hit 3 times by wannabee tacklers, one hit him twice. fun to watch

miracle TD for Dolphins to beat Patriots in last seconds with razzle dazzle

NFL has blocked the video on this link.

Saw it live. Could not beLIEVE one of those plays worked. Good for them! (They were going to beat the spread anyway), but that game made a huge difference in the playoffs.

Love seeing the trick plays work on the big stage. I'm a Boise State fan and they pulled off this same play to force overtime against the Sooners in the 2006 Fiesta Bowl (well they only pitched it once, but additional pitches were in the playbook if needed...they just weren't needed). Plus 2 more trick plays in overtime for a TD and the winning 2 pt conversion. Such a great game...if you're not an OK fan hehe.

probably the greatest razzle dazzle play of all time. Just called "The Play"
1982 Cal beat Stanford in the final seconds lateraling 5 times and to get to the end zone the guy had to get thru the Stanford band who had come on to the field believing the game was over. truly an incredible play
when he got into the end zone he accidentally knocked a trumpet player down
if you've never seen or heard of this play before you're really in for a treat

Interestingly, that was John Elway's last game at Stanford. "The Play" arguably lost him the Heisman that year.

It also cost Stanford the chance to play in a bowl game that season. And Elway would finish his college career without ever playing in a bowl game.

Few other interesting facts about that play:

Stanford called a timeout with 8 seconds left and kicked what they thought would be the game winning FG. If they called the timeout with less time on the clock, that kickoff never happens

The Cal player who fielded the kickoff is also the one who scored the TD

A ref threw a flag for interference by the Stanford band for being on the field during a live play. Even if Cal got tackled before scoring , the referee could’ve awarded them a TD for that Stanford penalty

pretty hilarious - James Harden got away with blatant traveling last night against Utah
refs obviously favoring him because he's a superstar
twitter erupted - one guy posted "that wasn't a travel that was a vacation" - clip is only 9 seconds long

pretty cool - Jarrett Allen blocks LBJ's dunk last night as the Nets beat the Lakers - some calling it "the block of the year"
yes, LBJ is human
they show it in slow motion starting at :40 - nice
