Of course, the play was not flagged and they made no mention that this play makes such a mockery of the game and is incredibly illegal (and, please, no one try to argue that this is not illegal since the snap was a legal one).
I saw this on TV as well. I couldn't believe that this act wasn't flagged. Misleading tactic = 5 yards from PLS.

Ditto... the hand off must be in an onside direction, otherwise it is illegal.
