About this listen

Faking injuries has been a part of football for decades, though how and when it's used as a tactic has shifted, as has the response it elicits from opponents and league officials. Steven Godfrey and Ryan Nanni discuss the history of pretending to be hurt, what the NFL and college football have done to combat the practice, and get some on-field perspective from Marshall Newhouse on how players feel about fake injuries. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber, and research on this episode was contributed by Ryan Fortune.
