A Guy and His Friends Ran “Philly Special” at a Gender Reveal Party

Gender reveal parties have become the hot trend over the past few years. They tend to be pretty standard fare. Show up, drink 12 beers, and eat some cheeses with a toothpick while the couple hits a piñata, cuts a cake, or pops a balloon to see if pink or blue dust comes out. Whatever. Generally, I like to time up a solid three-minute piss like I’m Jimmy Dugan from A League of Their Own at the exact time of the reveal, so as to ensure I miss one member of the couple hiding their inevitable disappointment with the outcome.
Obviously, I’m pretty lukewarm on the idea of the gender reveal concept, but I have to say, Twitter user @DonnyFootball93 and some of his friends came up with a pretty damn good reveal idea, and I 100% respect it:

The low snap almost botched the whole thing, but it was a nice recovery by the bro playing the part of Corey Clement to save it. Solid execution on the throw and catch. Touchdown. Girl.
According to The Daily Philadelphian, the parents-to-be are Matt Noble and Alex Paynter. Good job all around here, and congrats on the big day.
