How cool is this?
Big plays, 'The Mauler,' and Annexation of Puerto Rico
Quote:
First-year coach Ron Rivera added to the buzz by revealing the Panthers were calling it "the Annexation of Puerto Rico," after a play from the 1994 pee wee football comedy, "Little Giants."
Rivera said the movie was not necessarily the inspiration for the call against the Texans, but there were similarities.
"Honestly, it's one of those plays that if the timing is right and you call it at the right time, it's about as good as it gets," Rivera said. "Just so you know, the unofficial name - I don't know if you guys have ever seen the 'Little Giants' - it's called the Annexation of Puerto Rico. I've seen the movie a hundred times with my kids."
