Watch Some 5- And 6-Year-Olds Run The Statue Of Liberty Play
The Suniland Sundevils adorably embarrassed their equally adorable opponents with this trick play. If I coached pee wee football, I'd run trick plays all the time. Precious little swinging gates. Darling hook and laterals. Look at them! They think they're people!...

The USWNT's Bus Broke Down, So The Players Hitched A Ride With Fans
