Sunday Symphony
An in-depth look at the people, the technology and the “highly organized chaos” behind Fox Sports’ NFL broadcasts. Amazingly, a lot of the equipment has to be assembled and then torn down every weekend. More on The Verge.

Football coach Kevin Kelley has an unusual strategy. No matter the field position, his team always goes for it on 4th down, and only does on-side kicks. He sites statistical analysis as the justification, but we think he’s just got balls.
El Camino Real High School QB Jahlil Pinkett pulled a fast one on the opposing defense with this cruel trick play. While it’s definitely not the most sportsmanlike conduct, we’re amazed that nobody realized what he was up to.
Former NFL wide receivers Keyshawn Johnson and Hall of Famer Cris Carter dust of their ball-grabbing skills, as they try to snatch a hurdling football out of the air at 50mph with a single hand. Man, CC’s still got it, even in a suit and tie.
Peyton and Eli Manning just did Vanilla Ice a huge solid. Their commercial for DirecTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket service is filled with hilarious and cringe-inducing scenes. Are we sure this isn’t The Lonely Island?
St. Louis Rams punter Johnny Hekker and placekicker Greg ‘the Leg’ Zuerlein show off the accuracy and power of their legs, feet – and Pokémon knowledge. Can you believe that football pre-season is just two months away?
Menlo School senior Zach Smith shows off why his football scouts are raving about his long snapping skills. There are a couple of daring shots here, but the last one takes the cake.
Many NFL fans know this story, but it’s worth learning about even if you’re not into American football. In his sophomore year as a pro player, tight end Ben Watson showed everyone what it means to not give up.
Football phenom Johnny Manziel is known for his agility and speed, but if you’re wondering if he has the eagle eyes of an elite quarterback, watch him match Dude Perfect trick shot for trick shot.
Bad Lip Reading victimizes the players, coaches and referees of the NFL. Despite their name, these guys are actually very good at reading lips. The replacement phrases are hilariously in sync.
Nine year-old Sam Gordon has become an Internet sensation after her dad posted a highlight reel of her, who plays as QB in a children’s football league. She’s a bit of a ball hog though. More on Sam here.
It’s a tad obtuse, but still we tip our hats to the talent of the Ohio State University Marching Band, who continue to entertain the masses at halftime; this show even includes a DeLorean. (Thanks Dave!)
A high school football team stages a last minute comeback and caps it off with a silly play. Skip to 0:37 to see the play. Amazingly, another high school team pulled it off within the same week.
At a CFL match, Tiger Cats WR Chris Williams amazingly turned a missed field goal into a touchdown. Or not: Williams celebrated too early. Good thing his team still won.
Legendary linebacker Ray Lewis preaches about what it takes to get to the next level. His speech will get you pumped up to do just about anything. Oh, there’s also a game somewhere here.
The Highlight by Under Armour weighs only 10.3 oz and has a super high fit, eliminating the need for ankle tapes so players shave off more weight. It also has lightweight tongue padding and cleats.
FoD’s Billy Eichner went to the Super Bowl for Conan O’Brien to find out what everyone thought of Madonna, and the reactions are pretty priceless. Yup, we think her show was long enough too.
Athletes often do somersaults to celebrate a play, but Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jerome Simpson did it while making the play, turning the Arizona Cardinals into a bunch of sitting ducks.
Each Lemon Ball baseball and Leather Head football is handcrafted from leather by Paul Cunningham. They not only look amazing sitting on your desk, but can actually be used to play ball.
Whether you’re a fan of the Oakland Raiders or Mortal Kombat, Lord Raiden will terrorize your opponents with his glowing eyes, teleportation combos, and lightning-powered end-zone dance.
In homage to Moneyball, this FoD clip chronicles Matt Millen’s horrific run as GM of the Detroit Lions from 2001-2008. There’s no way they could name it Schwartzenball, right? (Thanks, Jake!)
Good to know there’s a Steeler with a sense of humor: Troy Polamalu poses as a wax figure at Madame Tussaud’s and spends the day scaring the snot out of unsuspecting fans. (Thanks, Felix!)
