Got this from ESPN the magazine. Had to pass it on:
Many of the NFL's best teams script their first 15 offensive plays. So do the Bengals.
1. Call Timeout
2. Corey does that thing
3. Center turns around and says "What was the play again?"
4. Watch the other team hug in our endzone
5. The play where the TV announcer says "What a great tackle by John Kitna (Or Akili Smith)
6. Pray that hard snap count draws nose tackle offsides
7. The play where the loudspeaker guy says "Bengals fumble recovered on the 16 yardline"
8. That running play where we hardly ever get called for holding
9. That one that gained 3 yards last week
10. Call 2nd timeout
11. Long pass that's intercepted, so it's kinda like a punt
12. That play that seems to always work for Oakland
13. The play that always gets enough yards so our punter's heels aren't touching the back of the end zone.
14. The play where the ref puts his arms straight in the air. Wait, do we have that one??
15. Call last timeout.
