[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 369916, member: 2175"] In a word, no. A little known fact your local services for the hearing impaired group can tell you: even life-long deaf people cannot read lips. (Ah, you say. But I saw a coach yesterday and he used the F word and I saw it! Like, how can you miss it? What did he say next?) You might SWAG a word or partial phrase, maybe. But what are the words you miss? Which is most of them. Only have to miss one you know. And assuming you were even 25% successful, how do you translate a sideline call of two words -- that appears to be about the maximum number the Abacks pass on when entering the huddle -- to the next play? All that lip-reading nonsense started with paranoid NFL coaches who actually think they are important with All the World's Knowledge. Thus the play card in front of the mouth, making for great TV drama by networks striving for viewers. Maybe your best bet is binoculars to read the play card. Does give us an excuse for losing: they read his lips. Put this down as another urban legend. [/QUOTE]
