Anyway… at one point, the Angels or someone determined that the other team – maybe one other defensive player – was looking into the huddle and stealing plays. Ya see, the quarterback would demonstrate on their own jersey the patterns the wide receivers should run (which is how it’s done in pickup games, not organized football!). Well, what the quarterback did was reverse the diagrammed play for the dyslexic wide receiver, and the other team would key on this, but the dyslexic wide receiver would actually break the other way.

Yep, I remember this episode, too! I remember the knowing glances they all gave one another, helping home viewers get the plot. I was about your age, I think.
