1. Editor's Note
If you were watching the New York Giants against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, you witnessed a long-snapper miss the mark, resulting in a safety and a pulled hamstring for his punter. Oops! Long-snappers usually only get attention when they do something wrong, but Houston Texans center Bryan Pittman brings a certain glamor to his role with his unique trick-snap abilities. In this video, you can see him snap groceries into a shopping cart, a ball into a moving vehicle and a basketball into a basket from half court. I really liked his ability to put a spiral on a roll of bagels. You'll have to sit through a short commercial, but it's not long. Click here to see the video:
