...although, by now, I suppose I shouldn't be remotely surprised.

Teams now have 500 "analysts" that assist in every facet of the game. If you think this is uncommon, then you may as well believe players weren't getting paid prior to NIL.

What's funny to me was I recently watching one of those "NFL Greatest Games" deals on NFLN. They replayed, with commentary from players, the "Catch 2" game between SF/GB from 1999, I believe, where TO caught the pass in the EZ as time ran out.

Anyway, point of this being that Brett Farve and Steve Young discussed many times how both teams' coaches were all from the same coaching tree, and both teams operated under the same west coast approach, with the same signals, play calls, etc.

With that, several times during the game, the coaches intentionally switched up the signals at the drop of a hat for the sole purpose of fricking with the other team. It ended up working most of the time, but not every time. This was before the technology we have today as well.

So, yeah, keep calling everyone stupid.

I too hate Michigan with a passion. I hope they lose every game. They get so much love for shite that happened 100 years ago. This, however, is hilarious and is an easy workaround for any team with a competent coaching staff.
