This stuff actually happens in real life.

What is going on in High Schools nowadays?  Just when we were starting to ever so slightly get over the trauma of Friday's Arizona antics when the centre puked all over the ball before the snap, we go from Willie Beamen to Cap Rooney.  (If you've never seen Any Given Sunday, shame on you) We definitely prefer Ross Bowers' trick though to vomit-gate.  The Bothell High School quarterback inspired his team to victory in the Washington AAAA state championship game with this outrageous front flip to the end zone.  He pulls back, sees no options, runs a little, runs a little more and magic happens.  Sweet, beautiful magic. You'll not see a better touchdown than this for a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdQ2b4f4dnk It stirred longing memories in us for the Miami Sharks' trusted lieutenant, Cap Rooney, when he produced the same kind of audacious brilliance.  The old-timer was believed to be finished but Al Pacino never gave up on him and, if you want the end of the film ruined for you, watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp1FFi6mbKM
