I thought this was the play of the week, and if you can believe it, it's the second time they've executed it and succeeded with it this season.
Danny Smith might be the only one who survives into next season. Can't say the same for coach Jim Zorn (or Buffalo's Dick Jauron).

Here's another take that probably only interests me (and Hall-of-Fame former coach Joe Gibbs):
Redskins Special Teams Coach Danny Smith Is a Keeper, No Matter What | Bleacher Report

Yeah, I need to practice reading again as well.
I'm forgetting what a 'misplaced modifier' is exactly, and I'm not all that hot at determinging the difference between 'past tense' and 'past participle'. Spanish isn't any easier. I can pass alright in-between the borders, but if I ever have to visit Spain, I'd get eaten alive.

reminds me of a funny story a few years back on an Amtrak train from Phila to Charleston SC. Just for a change of pace and the experience, the guy I worked for and I decided to take the train vs fly to Charleston to visit an important customer. So it was an overnight train ride and we had one of those little suites. We're both well dressed middle aged business men on a business trip. So we light up a couple doobies and after a few mintues we hear a loud knock on our door announcing the conductor and security checking a report of something burning or smoking...so by then we were done except for the smoke and vapors in the room. I open the door and we both have shit eatin' grins on our faces and we know they can smell it, but I think they were quite surprised to see who was up to this no good so they just told us they were investigating and if we see or smell or hear anything, let them know, otherwise, stay out of trouble. After we got home my buddy told me that if you blow the smoke into the pressurized toilet in the suite and flush, it sucks all the smoke out and doesn't smell up the whole train. And we lived happily ever after.
