Sometimes it can be a looooong time between live ball intervals. Here's a couple jokes I've played on the players to lighten the mood.

When the defense breaks from their huddle, look any player right in the eye and excitedly say "You've only got 11 players out here!". Watch as he turns and starts to count.....one player I did it to frantically started yelling to the sideline, "coach,coach,coach, we've only got ll out here, we've only got 11!" His sideline had fun with him on that one.

When setting up for a kickoff, especially in the dog days of summer, wait for the kicker to set the ball on the kicking tee. Then quietly and quite seriously look him in the eyes and say "You've got the ball upside down". Watch the ones that will turn the ball over on the tee. One time I did this the kid came walking back to the tee and his coach noticed him readjusting the ball. The coach yelled out to the kicker , "What's wrong?" to which the kid replied, "I had the ball upside down". The look on the coaches face was priceless.
