Hand grenade play revisited

[Mike L]

my understanding of the hand-grenade "play" vs some stupid celebration is:

typically on a kick off, receiver comes in with a number of R's into a small group, group then "bursts" for the return making it difficult for K to determine which one of them now has the ball. Seen it a couple times (mostly far below varsity level) never producing much of a benefit. Sometimes called the "starburst" or some other equally stupid name.

No idea what this has to do with BJ's post. I usually don't equate choreographed celebrations as "plays", although their is some bad acting, costumes, and the best outdoor stages involved

There were some on this site that thought the hand grenade celebration did not warrant a flag and there was some discussion as to who got the USC. Just posting what I was told at the rules interpretation meeting that I am required to attend.

There is also a few teams in our area that initiate their free kick in this format. All huddled around the kicker with ball on the tee. Whistle sounds and team blasts out of the huddle, runs toward kick line and kicker kicks ball.
No harm, no foul.

Heh...I took it to refer to what some call a "grenade pass", which is a dumb name for what's more descriptively called the flapjack pass.

How about you refer to "grenade demonstration" so nobody gets the idea you're referring to an actual play that you consider beyond the pale?
