Guten Tag, Drones.
It’s 12:38 am as I write this, because I forgot all about this until now. And I wouldn’t be awake right now if the Edmonton Oilers hadn’t just scored the tying goal with about 20 seconds left in the third period, thereby requiring me to stay awake just a bit longer.
As someone said on X, The Everything App some time ago, (that someone is Not Me), “why watch overtime play-off hockey when you could simply snort cocaine and ride a motorcycle out of a helicopter instead?”
But I’m up so we’re gonna half-ass a mock draft right now, because that’s the kind of dedicated employee I am.
This week we go with another suggestion from Scotchnaut, because I wrote it down and because he gave me his first pick, thereby allowing me to do even less work than usual.
We’re drafting trick plays. Scotchnaut said that his first pick was Reggie Roby’s trick punt.
It’s pretty damn cool.
I don’t have a pick right now, because the OT is starting. Let’s reconvene tomorrow and do this right. Meanwhile, and as always, the rest of you are on the clock.
Whoa! The BBQ’s win has been taken off the charcuterie board and been given to the Libs!

This is so brilliant.
Andy Reid is unreasonably angry at this turn of events.
Canadia Update:

BBQ Party: 1*
*will the BBQ Party go full Tomahawk Steak to draw in voters? Stay tuned…
I’d expect the BBQ party to maintain a slow and low pace that eventually pays off.
Once they come up to temp-look out! They’re ready!
Quebec’s BBQ Party (minus the one B) has a seat!
Uh… wut?
Real Patriots helping out with ICE deportations
Kraft is nothing but handy, no matter the circumstance.
JJ truly gone woke not to be COWFORCE ONE making that trip from texas
You know he’s pissed he didn’t think of it first.

Kraft is just doing his part to keep the Oriental Rose Spa, (or whatever the name was), fully stocked with (against their) willing employees.
Finally, some good news about the Maple Leafs’ chances to win Lord Stanley’s Cup

Everyone says that they’ve read all of the Lightning’s left wing Hagel’s works but you know they’re lying.
What about that time in that Shakespeare play where a guy pretended to be a chick while a chick pretended to be a guy and everyone got married at the end? That was pretty tricksy for a play
Still laughing about this one:

Damn. Was travelling all day so I missed this.

Is the Michigan considered a trick play? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TPk4RGqwVo

The Bears(!) executed that one beautifully this last season in our Super Bowl.

5. Is this a trick play? I mean the Pirates sure got tricked (somehow) so I think it’s worth a fifth round flier.

I like to think the umpire is watching all of this and thinking “should I say something here?”
The fact that Javier Baez has time to do a little “safe” celebration before getting to first base (and then second) is just icing on the cake.

Damnit, I’m going to Bath on the wrong night, if we were there on Friday we could have seen The Waterboys.
Rosie Ruiz’s trick of taking the subway for 3/4 of the Boston Marathon was a pretty good one.

Up until the whole “getting caught at it” thing.
there are lotsa these, but LOVE me a good hidden ball trick play in lacrosse

4. [looks around, sees that nobody has gone anywhere near the podium in almost an hour] Okay, so twenty years or so ago Manchester United had a trick free kick where two players (I think it started with Scholes and Griggs) would both move like they were about to kick the ball, step back and pretend to argue about it, then one of them would quickly step in and boot it. I can’t find any footage of that though, so here’s the footage I *could* find of something similar.

3. Hate the Lakers, hate Kobe even more, but I’ll be damned if this isn’t the greatest trick basketball play I’ve ever seen, and I can probably bait SonOfSpam into trading me his entire slate of 2026 picks to get his hands on it.

And this turned into a much-needed idea for Request Line so hats off to @Jimbo for planting the seed!
The trick play in XL gets all the attention, (because SB, of course), but this one in the playoffs was pretty sweet as well..

2. In honor of his return to an NFL roster, I’ll take this fourth down pass play by the Chargers where Hunter Renfrow tricks them into thinking he’s playing the punt returner position but he’s actually lined up as a free safety.

I can’t wait a full half hour, so my next pick is the saints onside kick in super bowl 44.
Get fucked five head
I don’t care if someone else drafted it. I love this play
As an idiotic lifetime Saints fan it was the second biggest moment in the game. The Tracy Porter interception being the screamer of all time. WHO DAT!!
Boise State, 2007 Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma. Their THIRD trick play late in the game; this one to win the game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O34BnFu8Kk
Boise State had to do that. They were on absolute fumes at that point in the game.
Also that was pretty much my only pick for this draft, so thanks for that.
The miracle hook-and-ladder that tied the game and got us into overtime is still on the board, if I’m not mistaken.
Hidden Ball Trick. The only good thing to come out of baseball other than the 9-9-9 Challenge.
I’ll take the Dan Marino fake spike
The clock play. I had some morning meetings or this would have been my pick.

Lots not to like about that Saints team but that was ballsy to start the second half of the Super Bowl with an onside kick, down 10-6. Feel like it helped set the stage for today’s “Any down can be a trick play?!” TAEK on offense.
https://youtu.be/azhW5o_jHGg?si=_k7BOJuSWHmYIQze
This, this pick.
God damn it i didn’t see this.
You know who did?
The hook and ladder (hook and lateral?) to Tony Nathan from the 1982 playoff between Miami and San Diego. One of the greatest games ever — Miami was in a hole at the time and this play got them back into it. The Kellen Winslow effort prevailed however. All time classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85m4A2Coq1o

Ooh, sorry Brocky: you’ve run afoul of the NFL guidelines for posting YouTube videos of their copyrighted material.
Please report to the execution chambers.
I’d want to win my first ever championship so I’d take that trick play where the Astros cheated we very single inning to give themselves the only opportunity they’ll ever have to win a World Series.
Do they have to be real trick plays? I’ll take the Flying V from the Mighty Ducks (even though it’s a terrible idea because a turnover and you’re giving up a breakaway, AND the puck carrier has to be the front person of the V entering the zone so if you jam them up it’s an offsides).
Quack…
QUACK
Yes, they were supposed to be real trick plays, but see I was watching OT Stanley Cup Play-off hockey and didn’t bother with the rules, so go for it.
I can’t link this due to shitty Wisconsin IHOP reception but my first round is the Oregon Fiesta Bowl, forgot which year, fake statue of liberty play.

A dozen years before the Philly Special, the Yinzer Yo-Yo (trademark WCS, 2025) secured One For the Thumb. It was also the first pro championship of any sprot in my adult life, certainly the first I could truly appreciate.

Super Bowl Extra Large was a lot of fun — I was living in Michigan at the time and could not get tix (i.e., would not pay the insane scalper rate) but had fun in Motown nonetheless. Good times
