The Penalty Flag

Throw a ref flag and call a fake penalty on them.

Penalty: too cute, 15 yards. The only way out is HOCO with me.

Tie a fishing weight into the corner of a yellow bandana to make a ref penalty flag, then throw it at their feet like an official and call the penalty out loud. The flag has a tag on it with the charge and the only way out of it. It is a bit, so lean all the way into the ref voice.
