Background: A proven defensive strategy in ultimate frisbee, occurring when the defensive team dupes the offensive team to throw a floaty huck to a seemingly "wide-open" receiver.
Setup: A player on the defensive team stays back on the kickoff, while the other six players on the defensive team run down the field and match up in man-man defense. The defensive player that did not run down stands near the live sideline, and pretends to not pay attention to the action on the field.
The Play: Once an offensive cutter starts to go deep, his defender releases and the offensive player appears to be wide open. As the offensive thrower gains recognition of his teammate streaking deep unguarded, he is beside himself with joy and locks in on his receiver. As he winds up for a shot of glory, the thrower has one last thought before he releases the disc, "Man, he is so wide open. I better not overthrow this guy. All I got to do is float it." The pins are set as this last minute thought changes the trajectory of the thrower's huck. The defensive player that didn't run down on the kickoff, stops eating a turkey sub and springs into action. The offensive cutter at this point is trotting to meet the floaty disc with a waist-high pancake catch. He does not sense the poaching defender's presence until it's too late. The poaching defender follows to sky the bejeezus out of the lackadaisical cutter resulting in a change of possession.
There are no recorded accounts of this play ever failing.

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.
