Armed Forces Bowl: Tulane player pulls off the most ridiculous flop

My man deserves some acting accolades after this one.

Flopping in sports is generally a bad thing. It’s dishonest. Even when it gives your team an edge in competition, it never really feels great to get away with one.

But every once in a while, there’s a flop that’s so brazen that you just have to respect it. The performance is just that good. That happened in Tulane’s game against Southern Miss on Saturday.

Southern Miss was charged with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after quarterback Tate Whatley had his pass intercepted by defensive back Larry Brooks.

There was a bit of a scuffle after the play and running back Trivenskey Mosley ended up with a penalty after he tapped a defensive back who then proceeded to drop into a trust fall with his Tulane brethren.

Give my man an Oscar — he deserves it after that acting job. It’s already in slow motion from the replay. All we have to do now is pull out the music from the Titanic and we’ve got ourselves a masterpiece. This is too good.

Flopping should never be condoned, but if you’re going to flop this is the way to do it. Just lean all the way in — literally.
