It seems that a fellow named George was the favorite ball-carrier
of the local fans, but on this particular day the quarterback
was not giving him the ball.
It was a brutal game.
As the game war on with the home team behind,
the fans grew increasingly impatient.
The next time the home team got the ball the fans began to chant,
"Give the ball to George, give the ball to George."
On the second play the quarterback dropped back to pass
and was smothered for an eight-yard loss.
It was third down and 18 and the chant "Give the ball to George"
was so loud that the team could not hear the quarterback in the huddle.
Finally, the frustrated quarterback walked out of the huddle
and motioned for silence from the crowd.
He then cupped his hands to his mouth and shouted to the stands,
"George doesn't want the ball."
