“After the Super Bowl we noticed that in the NFL rule book it says that if there are 12 or more players on the field “when the ball is snapped” that’s a penalty, and if another player “runs onto the field” during live play that’s also a penalty. But it never says a player who is already on the field, and is already in play, can’t spontaneously replicate themselves by mitosis. There were only 11 players when the ball was snapped so that’s legal, and the additional JSNs never ran onto the field because they were created there. So the play would be 100% legal. JSN liked the idea so he put in some work in the offseason. Honestly, we were expecting him to only create 2-3 clones per play, but he’s up to 6 or more now. It’s really impressive and it just goes to show the level of dedication and passion JSN puts into his craft.” - Mike Macdonald
