Mike learns football from a first grader!

Driving home tonight with first grader, Addison, was a lesson in Football.  He plays up on a second grade little league team and is the center.  During the discussion he explained a play they use called a "bootleg".   He says that the receiver runs down the field in a pattern that makes a "boot" while the quarterback who has the ball runs a pattern the shape of a "leg".  At the right time the QB throws the ball to the receiver and that makes it a "boot leg".  

That's a little different than I remember it from the old days, but maybe I forgot!
