Craziest "Thinking outside the Box" Moments in Sports History REACTION!! | OFFICE BLOKES REACT!!

[@AngryIrishMan]

Love hearing Daz explain every sport. True sports fan

[@colinsdad1]

You can tell he lived in the States.

[@melrest3453]

Daz seems like Dave’s dad sometimes

[@Alex-kd5xc]

For the most part, I think people love the hidden ball trick (the one where the player pretended to throw the ball and then tagged the runner out) because it rarely works and when it does, it’s really the runner who’s at fault. You have to be really really unaware to be caught off guard by that trick so nobody is really mad at the guy with the ball for at least trying

[@saintsataniko2116]

Also this is a compilation of such tricks over decades of both college and pro football. They are very rare, and even rarer when they work. Nevertheless, one o the greatest ones ever, the Dan Marino fake-spike "Clock" play against the Jets wasn't even included here.

[@drewgamezzz8482]

Yeah, the hidden ball trick has always been one of my favorite “trick plays” or whatever you would call it or categorize it as. It’s such an awesome play lmao, well as long as it works. I wonder if there’s a hidden ball trick fail compilation anywhere lol. I’m just as interested to see it fail as I am to see it work lol.

[@psu7276]

I love when you guys do American sports. You may not all know the nuances, but it's clear you all understand the concepts. And that is reinforced by how you quickly explain the play in terms of European sports competitions by comparison.

[@breakmyfast]

From what I know and have heard, we do typically call it a Nutmeg in basketball as well.

[@theimportantperson]

Yeah I’ve heard nutmeg or 5-hole. I don’t watch hockey but I think 5-hole comes from different areas you can put the puck past a goalie. 1, 2, 3 and 4 are on either side above or below the arm of the keeper. 5 hole is “through the wickets”

[@Jklopoppcorn]

I think it really depends what part of the country your from, I’ve lived half my life on the west coast and the other half on the east coast and it’s amazing how extreme the differences are beetwen those places, the people, culture, slang, almost like another country really.

[@saintsataniko2116]

Nutmeg in basketball is when the ball actually bounces up and hits you in the nuts. ;)

[@AndrewL209]

i play basketball and youre right, its called a nutmeg

[@theasthmatictraveller5050]

The term nutmeg has only come into basketball in the past few years. It never had a name and the term nutmeg was taken from soccer getting bigger in the American market

[@paladin313]

@3:06 That reminds me of a Cricket mess-up by a batsman. He'd hit the ball and beat the throw back to the crease. Upon seeing that, he started to celebrate, jump up and down, and then, not watching where he was, drifted back across the crease line. The bowler, seeing this, casually walked over and tapped off a bale! Oh, the look on the batsman's face was priceless!

[@louisskulnik7390]

3:08 “Ungh, I got dirt on my hands, UNGH!” Ump: “Out!”

[@earthresident9022]

🤣🤣the guy kicking baseball that hurts.....Great video office blokes

[@tannermurphy8230]

The thing about baseball is that there's still so many traditionalists in the game that complain if you don't adhere to the "unwritten rules" of the game, of which there are many that aren't actual rules but are more so common courtesies and what's considered as old-school sportsmanship to many. The game has been changing for a few years now to a more modern game where more players will celebrate their successes on field (i.e. batter's celebrating more freely after hitting home runs and pitchers celebrating a crucial strikeout). Not too long ago, as a hitter you'd be punished by the opposing pitcher your next at-bat with a ball to the ribs or worse (fastball up and in) if you did something as trivial as watching the homerun you hit for too long or celebrating what the opposing team considered to be too much after hitting it. Just one example of the many minor infractions of the "unwritten rules" of the game that are thankfully going away slowly but surely.

[@birch5757]

I saw the second play of the video (the flip) in person. The crowd reaction was just pure joy and amazement. It was my 3rd favorite sporting moment I've seen in person.

[@danbaker300]

5:45 Yeah, the advantage is that the free throw wouldn't have been enough to tie the game. A strategy you'll see a lot (which I absolutely hate, so I love watching it backfire spectacularly like this) is for a team up 3 very late to foul and deliberately put the other team on the free throw line to prevent them from getting a 3-point shot. You can try to counter it by deliberately missing the second free throw and getting the rebound, but it's hard to do since the defending team has more players along the lane (and it has to hit the rim or it's a violation and the other team gets the ball). The really fun ones are when somebody tips the rebound out to an open 3-point shooter and the foul ends up losing the game.

[@gritnix]

“If it don’t come off you look a right knobhead.” is the most British thing I think I’ve ever heard.

[@peterortiz1160]

That baseball pay where the first baseman pretended to throw the ball to tag the runner out always happens. One of the first thing you’re taught in baseball is never take your foot off the base

[@willvr4]

"always"? It almost never happens BECAUSE everyone is trained against it. That's what makes it funny when it happens.

[@Bobal27]

In basketball, only the ball going out of bounds matters, except in the case of the person with the ball stepping out. Only the ball and the ball handler must stay in bounds, everyone else on the team can go grab lunch and still be in play.

[@bopep1368]

in addition to the hidden ball trick, there are a number of sophisticated tricks,(ex. faking a throw to first, with the first baseman leaping like its over his head, to induce the man to go for second) that are used in many different situations, at all the bases. They arent as simple as the hidden ball trick and have to be practiced a lot to be effective - nobody is offended by them except for the player that falls for them

[@woodyhitya]

A ball passing through the legs of the opposition without changing possession is referred to as a meg or nutmeg here in South Florida

[@jaredpap8874]

The hidden ball trick is so funny because it's like a kid's schoolyard trick

[@Chihome]

This is fun! Glad to see these on here!

[@tweeotch]

5:05 If the ball is kicked 10 yards, the kicking team gets possession if they recover it (onside kick). The receiving team was totally caught off guard as it was probably a situation where you normally wouldn't be kicking an onside kick. Edit: 8:51 I had to rewatch this! Talk about being able to read a putt! Great video, Blokes!

[@hanaj]

I’ve never seen Ozzie looks so young. Wow.

[@RJC2-t8u]

The hidden ball trick.. everyone learns in T-Ball when you 1st start learning how to play baseball. If it works once in a lifetime it's awesome. If you fall for it you'll never live it down

[@LucidDream]

I don't think it's bad sportsmanship, it's just using your wits. It's the runners fault for not paying attention. That was Todd Helton. He played his college baseball at my hometown university. Really good ball player, saw him play during his college days.

[@laudanum669]

The Randy Moss catch and pitch @7:15 I was at that game and it was right before half time. My friend left to go have a smokje and missed it. He was pissed.

[@bxgsmk]

I asked for this reaction and it came out on my bday. Awesome. 🙂

[@gunkid6368]

when i see stuff like this i always start laughing cause i think back to the bill burr joke "no ones sitting there watching a dude do 3 backflips over the defence then flying 30 feet thru the air for a dunk and goes "aww man why didn't i think of that""

[@spoonman1307]

loving all the sports reactions

[@JoshuaC0rbit]

If this was the only kind of videos you guys did I would still be a subscriber. I could watch this stuff all day.

[@hossahunter22]

Crazy thing on that Manziel trick: The two coaches standing in front of him are Kyle Shanahan (now 49ers head coach) and Mike McDaniel (now Miami Dolphins head coach)

[@Mahan07]

You should watch the video where Pat McAfee talks about kicking that onside kick to himself!

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

The first base coach should have warned the runner about the hidden ball trick. It looks like neither the runner nor the coach was paying attention. Also, I suspect the runner had gotten into the habit of wandering off the base, and the defensive team decided to take advantage of it. In any case, it's not bad sportsmanship. If you make an out because you're not paying attention, it's your own fault. Here's one of my favorites, when Jason Kendall scored the winning run on a dropped throw back to the pitcher: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWSQgWpuopiAnZo

[@JH-pt6ih]

Play at 6:02 - Cleveland Browns (orange helmets) Hoyer pass to Manziel, was LITERALLY unsportsmanlike conduct. The play was called back on a different penalty and it appears as though no officials or the other team caught it, but it was unsportsmanlike conduct - the league made an announcement after the game that it should have been called. Play at 16:19 - Oldtyme “Statue of Liberty “ play the quarterback held the ball upright in passing position, like Lady Liberty holding the torch over her head, and the running back took the ball from his hand and ran. The play actually goes back to the 1800’s and predates the foreword pass - so who knows what they were doing then to call it that. Play at 19:18 That is a trick play on a field goal attempt with the punter behind center and the kicker split left and catching the ball. But why don’t teams try this with the offense if they have a fast QB? If it’s Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray at QB that looks wide open. The center only has to block one player and the QB has a huge opening to one side with nobody there or the other side with only one player to beat. If they bring defenders over center they leave a mismatch on the outside. I wanna see someone run it!

[@whimsofmim]

honestly, as others have pointed out in the comments, the hidden ball thing wouldn't be considered bad sportsmanship in baseball. Baseball is considered a "thinking man's game" and deception and trickery are part of the contest. There are a lot of examples of trick plays and other deceptions that are considered totally above board and high IQ when it comes to baseball. It's literally on that base runner to be aware and mindful of seeing the actual ball being thrown, and I doubt any baseball fan would malign the first basemen for getting a tag out like that. If your opponent is being mentally lazy, you should take advantage of it and it's nobody's fault but their own if they make an out like that.

[@JH-pt6ih]

I think the trick depends a bit on “the BOYS of summer” aspect of baseball, too.

[@declaneric]

Regarding the basketball player hiding behind the coach: So the rule is that any player who comes in from out of bounds CANNOT be the first person to touch the ball. So if it had been a loose ball just rolling on the floor, he wouldn't have been able to touch it. And even crazier, if the dribbling player had been closer to the sideline, and the hiding player steps in-bounds, then immediately touched the ball mid-dribble (i.e. the dribbler released the ball from his hand before the hider stepped in bounds, it bounces off the floor, but he hadn't re-caught it to bounce it again), the hiding player touching it would be illegal. But because the dribbler was further in bounds (farther away from the sideline), he dribbled it a couple of times before the hider stole it, so the hider technically wasn't the first person to touch it after running back in bounds, which makes the steal legal. And he could only get away with it because the guy was too far away for him to illegally touch it. Great play. You can only do that once, though. No one falls for it a second time, LOL. The free throw chucked off the front of the rim: Players only do that when they need more than one point, and there's not enough time on the clock to regain possession to get another play. So that guy in the video: probably needed two points to tie, but only had one free throw and, say, 3 seconds on the clock. If he makes the free throw, the other team gets possession, and can run the final 3 seconds out. But the play he did misses the free throw, but he gets the rebound immediately for the layup, gets his two points instead of one, the other team may run the clock out, but he forces overtime. It's a common tactic. Another variation is to shoot a high arc off center, to make the ball come down off the back board, hit the rim, and bounce up high, while you purposely have two teammates run into the paint to jump for the rebound and put back layup. What this guy did was perfectly executed. Even if the opponent knew something like that was coming (because they know the score and remaining clock too), he did it so fast no one could react in time. Excellent execution.

[@eragon400]

@4:27 he essentially onside kicked it...it legal just incredibly rare..the only rule is the ball has to travel at least 10 yrds before touching the ball

[@ThEgamingGINJ]

10:00 most Americans call it five-hole as it's a hockey term for when you score through the goalies legs

[@indycustommade3568]

John Madden: I love to see a fat guy score. Pat Summerall: Why? John Madden: Because first, you get a fat guy spike, then you get the fat guy dance.

[@Ycekhold]

The Replacements is quite underrated, IMO.

[@christophermckinney3924]

An onside kick is a short kick designed to allow the kicking team to recover it. But the ball must go ten yards or be touched by the receiving team BEFORE the kicking team can touch or recover it.

[@brettpenning]

I was really hoping the MSU vs Michigan college football from a couple years ago was on here. There was really good ones on this video.

[@saintsataniko2116]

"Hide the midget!" I dare any caster to say that these days.

[@B00GERZ544]

The way out of bounds works in basketball is as long as both feet are in bounds when you touch the ball its fine. So as long as that guy takes two steps in bounds before stealing the ball its legal. You can also throw it off an opponent and do the same thing as long as you take those steps before you get the ball back

[@moribundxix]

Watching you guys not understanding American Sports fully makes my day. I'd be just as questioning on rugby or cricket.

[@robbieg2054]

Office bloke Daz looks like Oliver Reed used to after a 5 day bender

[@zacharyhendershott]

You gotta do a compilation of Nikola Jokić’s best passes, he was the guy who threw the nutmeg pass. He’s got incredible passing skill.

[@willjohnson8446]

The game Madden has made this generation of American football players so much better informed of so many different offensive and defensive plays.

[@joshuabolton3866]

I miss the hidden ball trick in baseball. That was my fave part

[@DanFrijoles]

I was at that game where he threw the glove to first base (the Yankee vs. Mets game). It was insane. 🤣

[@tweeotch]

I was watching that game when Simpson lept over the defenders into the end zone! Go Bengals! Who Dey!

[@saaamember97]

As former NFL quarterback, Joe Montana, once said: "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying."

[@charlesbecker6305]

I love the greatest Quarterback in history and the 49ers should have never traded but ... HE HAS COMPANY~~~ ~~~Also in 1972, a television character (a rodeo rider) had as his motto, “If you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t trying’.” The saying became popular by the early 1990s. ....... And ~The “if you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying” quote was in Scarbrough’s story and was attributed to SMU Head Coach, Sonny Dykes.... AND... ~“If you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying” were the words of one trader working in the foreign exchange market. They belie an attitude that was widespread among traders in this market between 2009 and 2013. ... AND~... so on

[@saintsataniko2116]

In American football you cannot run off the field on your own power and then run back into the field of play like that NBA player did. Granted I have never seen a guy hide behind the coach and run onto the court to make a steal, so it's not like there's ever a plague of such sneaky plays in the NBA.

[@simoncowell6571]

"Gamesmanship" is the term for things that aren't cheating, but rather a mix of taunting, rule-bending, physical or psychological "games" played to get an upper hand. When it's against your team, it's easy to call out and criticize. When it's your team or coaches, the common excuse is that they're being "creative." For events or participants you're indifferent about, people are more likely to notice, but brush it off like "I don't agree with it, but it's legal." A couple examples in American sports is that you help your own teammates up, but not often opposing players. Or to end a football game by taking a knee an running out the clock, defenders may get chippy and still try to take the ball, increasing chance of injury and stimulating negative emotions between players for no reason but pettiness.

[@jujuyamaguchi5994]

12:17 Mike liked that Lebron dunk 😁

[@dizzlebizzle8424]

hidden ball-trick is the opposite of bad-sportsmanship, it's a great play...tricking someone isn't a bad thing when the rules of the game encourage it.

[@willjohnson8446]

Might want to check out The Professor to see a lot of basketball nutmegs and tricks.

[@Nonchalluminati]

I need a Nikola Jokic pass montage reaction

[@MrProthall]

Sports History apparently means football, baseball and golf.

[@zzyzx_001]

10:00 I believe it is also called a nutmeg in basketball.

[@drewgamezzz8482]

@4:27 I love how he keeps saying “that doesn’t seem right to me” like okay lol? It doesn’t have to seem right tbh, if it works it works. And the way I see it, whatever you can do to win the game/get more points and stats and it’s legal to do, then I don’t see why it would be such a problem lol. But also it is Dave, and we saw his bball skills on the try channel, so I wouldn’t be taking bball advice from him 😂😂😂😂

[@askaltheoriginal8319]

Ichiro's feint at SF stadium should be here

[@pert-smith]

Thought this was a new video until Dax mentioned Ndombele. I’m a Spurs fan and half forgot about him.

[@TangerineMusic]

Guys, you need 100% React to this: REGGAE SINGER brings GOOD VIBES to OMEGLE!!!

[@drewgamezzz8482]

Y’all should deff check out the one about Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier, The Miami Miracle, Michael Crabtree and Aqua Talib (I think that’s how it’s spelled lol), Bumgardner and Puig, and 2 of my favorites, Russell Westbrook and Reggie Jackson and then I think it’s Shaq and Dwight Howard beef as well. Which one of their best ones is called Fighting in the era of loneliness, but it’s like over an hour long so idk if y’all could react to it, but they make some of the greatest sports videos. I think they used to be called like SB Nation or sum I think, but I’m not completely sure if that’s them or not.

[@drewgamezzz8482]

@2:50 Isn’t he passed away now? For some reason I feel like I heard before that he had passed away.

[@PrincevincentiusEL]

Hey Guys I know y’all into sports and humor, have you seen or heard any of, “Bob Menery” he does hilarious voice overs on sports like a sports anchor. Shit is gold, there’s loads of compilations but the “Joe Flacco hit” clip was pretty funny.

[@GerardoMurrayTenis4]

5:41 in and I am pretty sure guy on the left has never seen a second of basketball in his life.

[@robbieg2054]

[@Tijuanabill]

We call em nutmegs in basketball too.

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

Tough to imagine the energy needed to think in the middle of executing a pro sports play. Your clock has to be going so fast that the world looks motionless.

[@kendavis3434]

The basketball you was describing is two points he faked shooting a free throw which is one point he pulled a trick move and his athleticism beat everyone to the bucket

[@andrewbranch700]

A lot of us in The States call it nutmegging.

[@pieceoflintifoundonthefloo554]

Mike is my favorite bloke

[@FoxxLive]

Hey guys just wanted to chime in on a ongoing question if the between the legs pass or move. It's called "nutmeg"

[@bunpeishiratori5849]

On the play where the quarterback stood on the sideline and waited until the coach to signal him to run, the team was penalized. Basically what they did was illegal. There are rules concerning guys coming on and off the field and how far they are from the sideline before the ball is snapped. In this case, the coaching staff designed an illegal play, which was an incredibly stupid thing to do. You'd think they'd at least know the rules when they're drawing things up.

[@drewgamezzz8482]

You guys should check out this video or just one of the videos like it (so you don’t have to worry about the music), it’s the top 10 soccer players stealing the ball and then scoring. But I’m not sure if it has the one I’m thinking of cause I’ve only seen half of it, but there are a few of people standing behind the goalkeeper hiding and then stealing the ball and scoring and it’s an awesome video. (I tried posting the link, but every single time I did it would say error loading when I would click back on it to make sure it went through. So I’m sorry about not having a link, but with all of these wack “community standards” KZbin has now, I’m not sure if me posting the link is what made the comment keep being deleted, but anyways, you guys deff need to see it cause it is amazing tbh! But yeah, I posted the link, but every time I did the comment kept getting the error screen when I would click on it, so I don’t have the link, but you can just look up top 10 players stealing ball from the goalkeeper and scoring and pick one so you don’t have to worry with copyright due to the music.

[@louisskulnik7390]

[@theomen7665]

It's a nutmeg in basketball as well

[@rileyxxxx]

yea faking in basketball is a key element. its very common, especially the looking elsewhere and throwing to the opposite direction. thats why people in soccer cant keep up with messi as he rarely looks in any direction and creates those unpredictable passes

[@JokerrEditz]

More Basketball reactions please!!!!!!

[@drewgamezzz8482]

And another one I will continue to request cause it’s super hilarious and I know you boys would get s great laugh, Greg Giraldo roast/best roast compilation. He was seriously the best roaster to do it imo and in the opinions of everyone who ever did a roast with him. But yeah, I really wish you guys would see this comment for once amd react to this video. I promise you won’t regret watching it lol

[@earthresident9022]

That hidden ball trick (baseball) wasn't bad sportsmanship at all...quite the opposite...the runner has to stay on base but people like to be...cool...well he got caught...u guys do great job respect to u all love the vids.

[@rocknroller7034]

yes!!! it is called nutmeg

[@sethp26]

Called a nutmeg in basketball

[@smfmnoneya9134]

Come on guys, these are all pro athletes so we know they are talented and they don't have to cheat...what is wrong with having more strategy in their game? If it is legal, what is wrong with spicing it up a little for themselves and the fans? I think these are strategies that they are all aware of, have been warned about but are just not used very much. You saw the guy on 1st base, he looked mad at himself, not the guy who tricked him.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

yeah in basketball it's called a nutmeg

[@TEXTMANNEN]

[@Kronikman07]

the only problem i have with videos like this for you guys is you have no idea what happens in most of the clips.
