This was the Play Of the Day (POD) for our Thursday pickup touch football games on August 9, 2007:

The ball was picked off and the defender, avoiding defenders and skillfully using some great blocks,  swiftly criss crossed the field, twice, in his quest for the end zone. But finally, cornered and about to be tagged, he no-look pitched the ball behind his back, over a crowd of three people to Faison, who had to jump for the ball to return possession to his team.

When the play looked dead, Faison kept his head in the game and made a great play on the ball to end a wild change of possessions.
