Video: Courtesy of a Division III punter, here's the best flop in college football history
Chapman University (Division III) punter William James is the early favorite for next year’s faux college football Academy Awards.
Check out James’ hilarious flop during Saturday’s game at Linfield College. Facing a fourth down deep in his own territory, James falls to the ground after a punt and frolics for several seconds to earn a roughing the punter penalty.
He returns to sideline in jubilation after the automatic first down for the Panthers.
This guy should major in theater. Seriously.
That BS should be a penalty. As bad as this is though, I don’t think it out-sucks the BS the Wisconsin punter pulled against Mich St in the first B1G Championship Game. The Mich St dude came in diving under the punter’s kicking leg, and after the punt, he dropped his leg onto the defender’s back, and then flopped backwards. Got the penalty and that complete BS really affected the outcome.
Is this soccer?
Week 2 winner of the Anthony Swain Award!!
That’s disgraceful.
I was going to say, that reminded me of that Key and Peele skit, and sure enough that skit showed up as a related video when the video ended.
I bet he’s related to Shane Battier.
This guy is going to be a major soccer star. But seriously, it’s time to end flopping in sports by dropping heavy penalties on those that do it. It is unsportsmanlike behavior that threatens the integrity of the game.
