Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury gives new politically correct name to old trick play (VIDEO)

With a three-point lead and the clock winding down in the fourth quarter of Thursday's game, Texas Tech looked as if it was about to take a knee against Texas for their first win in Austin since 1997.

But they didn't.

Showing how much the Red Raiders wanted this victory, they executed a trick play by deceiving the Longhorns with a misdirection call insensitively known as Hide the Midget.

Watch below as 5'7, 168-pound Jakeem Grant takes off for the end zone after lining up inconspicuously behind the O-line. The undersized wide receiver ran it in for a 40-yard touchdown, helping to extend the Red Raiders' lead to 48-38.

Afterwards, Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury offered up a new politically correct name for the play by calling it “Little People, Big World.”

And if you thought Kingsbury's LPBW call ran up the score or was a d-bag move in the first place, know that Texas scored on the ensuing drive to cut the lead to 48-45.

PC police happy all around.

TV station sends little person to Marvin Lewis press conference after he called Johnny Manziel ‘a midget’ (VIDEO)

In a move directly out of a Howard Stern playbook, days after Bengals coach Marvin Lewis called Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel “a midget,” a Cleveland television station sent a little person to Lewis’ midweek press conference.

Cleveland’s FOX 8 assigned local media personality “Lil’ John” Rinaldi to Wednesday's presser to ask Lewis questions about the Browns and Manziel, who’ll make his first NFL start this Sunday against Lewis’ Bengals.

And it's no coincidence the diminutive reporter was in the room.

“Based on the height difference on a player like Manziel how has your defensive approach changed for Sunday’s game,” Rinaldi, who is 4-foot-3, asked Lewis.

Lewis answered Rinaldi’s question directly — along with a follow-up — albeit, a little uncomfortably.

The exchange happens in the video below (at 0:43):

The Bengals coach had already apologized for the comments made on a local radio show Monday night, when he was discussing how to defend the under-6-foot rookie and said “You’ve got to go defend the offense, you don’t defend the player,” before muttering “particularly a midget,” between questions from the show’s hosts.

As for Wednesday’s stunt by FOX 8, Lewis responded to it in humorless fashion and without using the M-word.

"I did not apologize directly to him, but the gentleman asked a couple questions in doing his job," Lewis told Cleveland.com of Rinaldi. "Hopefully I answered them correctly."
