ESPN.com’s Paul Kuharsky reports that Indianapolis Colts run a play called Ghandi.
Tight End Dallas Clark explains:
“Usually, I know the origin or the background of what the code word means for the play. But for Ghandi, I’ve forgotten how that one came about. Six years in this offense, we have everything. Some you question or some are really good because they make sense, maybe they give the direction of left or right.”
So what does Ghandi mean?
“I can’t tell you that,” he said. “All we have to hear is Ghandi and we know what we are doing, so I don’t know the extent we can talk about the words. Because that’s how we get to that play, is by that word. So if someone knows what that word means, then they can pick up on some stuff.”
Clark catches football for a living and doesn’t do Indian history. So not knowing what Ghandi means isn’t such a big deal.
May be I should stop bugging my students for not knowing enough about Gandhi or for spelling his name wrong.
