This offensive lineman did ‘The Worm’ to draw a defender offsides. It didn’t work

This isn’t a penalty, but it should be for bad dancing

Trick plays always look cool until they don’t work out. Then they look stupid.

Glynn Academy, a high school in Georgia, was apparently trying to draw their opponents offsides. It didn’t work.

Yes, that is the decades-old dance craze society calls “The Worm.”

Now, I’ve had to do a lot of physically demanding things while playing team sports.

If you asked me to do “The Worm” in pads? In August weather? I would have quit the team. I can’t even do “The Worm” on the dance floor, much less on the football field.

If I was coaching the defense and it did work I would have made everyone on the defense take a lap on some Remember the Titans stuff.

10/10 for creativity, though.

This play safely belongs in the category of other creative trick plays that failed.

Which gives me a reason to post this.

Classic.
