In a sporting event, when a play is in question, they "Take it to the tapes", or "Bring it to the tapes" for official review. The same applies to everyday life when something is in question. Be it an actor in a movie, a past sports score, or anything, really. See Google, Wikipedia, or IMDB.
Very similar to Roll The Tapes.

Get the take it to the head mug.
To pick up on the subtleties in communication that someone is purposefully trying to deliver. To understand the implied message behind someone's words, gestures, or actions.
Ash needs to take a hint that Misty, May, Dawn, Iris, Serena, and a fucking Latias all want his D. Instead, all he does is train his pokemon so that he can lose his next gym battle (and eventually get the badge without defeating anyone).

An American football term for when the quarterback drops to one knee immediately after receiving the snap, thus automatically ending the play.
The use of taking a knee comes only near the end of a game when your team is in possession of the ball and holds a narrow lead (by a touchdown or less). If you execute a run or pass play, you risk turning the ball over and allowing the opposing team to gain possession and a chance to score. By taking a knee, you are able to run down the clock without putting the ball at risk.
A boring, if strategically important, play.

Coach: John, listen - we got 5 seconds remaining, pass the ball to Porter, Porter - you'll take a knee and end this game.
