-
There's a moment of orderly silence
-
before a football play begins.
-
Players are in position, linemen are frozen,
-
And anything's possible.
-
Then, like a traffic accident, staff begins to randomly collide.
-
From the snap of the ball to the snap of the first bone
-
Is closer to four seconds than five.
-
One mississippi.
-
Joe Theismann, the redskins quarterback
-
Takes the snap and hands off to his running back.
-
Two mississippi.
