The Fitzgerald Fake

In football when a ball carrier is well beyond the line of scrimmage and a defensive player is closing in to tackle him. The ball carrier proceeds to pretend to throw a pass by lifting his head and cocking his arm back even though he definitely cannot throw a pass hoping to get the defender to jump up and block the pass.
