The Indianapolis Colts’ failed “swinging gate” play was one of the goofier and funnier moments in recent memory.

I can only describe it as a dog panic attack: She runs all over the place, pants crazily, tries to climb up on my bed (where she is not allowed), nervously licks my legs, and eventually seeks comfort in the safety of the bathtub.
