I love that, it really made me laugh. He is so quick! Just great. We've been cleaning out the garage all day and I didn't see any football. Thanks for posting, TPS.

This is about a week old, even, but I can't stop thinking about how awesome it was.

OH yeah, I remember watching it on sportscenter after it happened. So awesome.

Totally. We were at another game that day and they showed it on the jumbotron and a whole stadium of people went "WHAAAAAA????"

The Bengals are going to the playoffs, too.

Loved that. I think it's easy to forget how athletic football players are sometimes, given how big they are.

My cousin had left the TV on to keep the dogs entertained, and I just happened to catch that play as it happened when I was walking through the living room. I was only half paying attention, and then I had one of those "Wait! What?" moments. "Did that really just happen?"

As soon as I saw the post, I knew it had to be that play. Thank goodness for DVRs, I watched it a bunch of times. Incredible.

Fun. I'd love to see the Bengals and the Steelers play for the AFC championship. Probably won't happen but it would be a fun game

Ha. American football doesn't mean anything to me. But I saw this on mlkshake and was astounded: look how he holds on to the head of his attacker to increase his momentum and that's what makes him land perfectly on his feet.
Simply astounding.

I could do that. I just don't want to.
