That's not the same as lining up, looking at the sideline and falling down. I'm 100% against faking injuries. But, how do you know a player isn't cramping, got stepped on, kicked in the shin or the knee? It's tough to know when a player is faking in a game as violent ad football.

You're right it's not as embarrassing. However, like I said this is a habit I've noticed for years. It's possible that it's all a coincidence but highly unlikely. It's always the same scenario after a string of first downs, not always late in the game when cramps would factor in, and the players always come back in quickly.
