Wtf was that?

Outsmarting yourself, not hard to do in indy. You should see what happens when the equipment guy forgets to buy velcro shoes.

Packers trying to save $$$$??

Ok Chuck. We are going to start you off at 100 dollars per week. How’s that sound?

 

[Soliel]

This never gets old. I want a screen saver version

 

[PlanB]

eeeeewwwwww

It’s even crazier to figure out why they snapped that. You’d sooner figure out the riddle of the Sphinx and Pythagorean math

 

[Clonamery]

Mediocrity???

Discount double check.

The guy (Whalen, maybe?) who snapped the ball claims that the rulebook states that once someone lines up under center the ball must be snapped in this situation. I don’t think he’s correct, but he’s a Stanford grad and he interpreted things a certain way, so more power to him, I suppose. I don’t think Whalen was supposed to be on the field as a snapper, but the guy who had been practicing all week got hurt at the last minute, so Whalen was forced into the role.

The rest of the team claims that they were trying to catch the Pats off guard with a too many men on the field penalty and that they never intended on snapping the ball. That’s according to the punter McAfee, who says that they practiced it “7-10x” throughout the week with the idea that they would catch them with an extra man or force them to take a timeout.
