Harvey Stern

A story from Peter...

Here's a story from Harvey's days in New Jersey, about the famous double reverse...

Harvey, Theo, Michael and I were playing touch football.  I was with Michael and Theo was with Harvey.  Michael and I had the ball.  I called for a double reverse. 

I got the ball, gave it to Michael and we went in opposite directions.  Then we reversed and Michael gave the ball back to me and again we went in opposite directions.  Finally, we reversed a second time and I gave the ball back to Michael who went toward the goal line.

Theo completely fell for the fake and went after me.  I dumped Harvey so he was out of the play.  By the time Theo realized his error and went after Michael he was unable to catch him, despite being three years older.  Thus Michael scored the winning touchdown.
