AlabamaBlue quote:
Incidentaly, it's hook and "lateral". The receiver runs a hook, and then "laterals" the ball to a teammate.

From NFL Films Steve Sabol:
Randy Moss' over-the-shoulder toss in Week 7 was a variation on the old "hook and ladder" play that, according to legend, was devised by Dr. "Jock" Sutherland, "the Dour Scotsman." He was the head coach at the University of Pittsburgh during the 1930's. The name "hook and ladder" originated in Pennsylvania coal country. Miners trapped in a cave would call to the rescuers above to send down both a hook and a ladder to help them out of a jam.
