It Drives Me Nuts

 

And it happens every year.  No matter who the football coach is, the play is the same.  The quarterback calls the play, the center hikes the ball, it gets handed to the receiver who then proceeds to run directly into the massive group of players in front of him.  Of course, he falls down and they gain maybe half a yard, if that.

The rarity of, up the middle, plays working is astounding, so why do they continue to do it?  The other team knows that’s what they’re going to do, the hot dog vendor knows, everyone in the stands knows.  So why do it? 

For this, they pay the coach millions of dollars.  Are you kidding me?  Why bother putting together a play book, if you’re only running up the middle.  Don’t bother to write it down.  Save a tree.  Use your time to put together a plan for world peace.  Redesign the automobile so it no longer uses gas.  Just do something productive for your million dollars.

Yep - I have wondered that same thing. The only thing I came up with was it gives everyone time to catch their breath and rest up.
