HOW DO YOU FIGURE ... The Patriots Were So Easily Duped ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

"How Do you Figure"
were the simple but brilliant words
spoken by announcer
AL MICHAELS
in response to 
the most

remarkable touchdown in
the 52-year history of Superbowls.

The Patriots were so easily duped 
are the words approximately spoken
by a gazillion people in response
to  the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback
catching a touchdown pass
on a fourth-down play

There are easily
one thousand and one words
    necessary to fully explain
and give proper credit
for the resounding success
of a trick play
known as
THE PHILLY SPECIAL 

But the GoFather of Math
will use only
101 (± x) words:

The most extraordinary play
of a most extraordinary game
was based on DECEPTION
 and my favorite deceptive moment
involved what  NICK FOLES did
for one full second
as soon as the ball
was snapped:

He did absolutely nothing
but stand there
like an idle observer
while being ignored
by the entire defense
of The New England Patriots.

Since
The writers for ESPN
are better paid than I am,

I will end this page

with their words:

 The play calls for quarterback Nick Foles to move up to the line of scrimmage and basically act as if he's checking his phone. It calls for a direct snap to running back Corey Clement, a pitch to tight end Trey Burton and a pass from Burton to Foles -- assuming the New England Patriots had forgotten about Foles. Which they had, because who would think to cover him?

Footnotes
 In simple football lingo, this miraculous play
resulted in a touchdown thrown by the tight end
to the quarterback.

In GodFather of Math lingo,
this was a Through the Looking Glass

touchdown from the Lewis Carroll playbook.
