When the St. Louis Rams visited the Meadowlands to take on the New York Giants on Monday Night Football they expected to play a National Football League team, as ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski likes to say. Due to an unexplained and unfortunate accident, however, the Rams were forced to play a National Futbol League team instead, at least towards the end of the first quarter.
With quarterback Sam Bradford driving his St. Louis team deep into Giants territory behind a blistering no huddle offense, two New York players went down as if shot by members of Navy Seal Team 6. Linebacker Jacquian Williams and safety Deon Grant lay motionless on the turf, in dire need of medical assistance.
That is until Williams realized he was not alone. Upon seeing his teammate was also down, he popped up like nothing happened. When ESPN came back from commercial, Grant was shown on the sidelines, good as new.
Clearly these two mammoth men trespassed onto the field. Football players don’t fake injuries. That is reserved for futbol leagues.
The Giants are promptly investigating the matter and have formed a special committee to propose stricter security measures to prevent imposters from lining up on the line of scrimmage in the future … not.
