I don't know if you're joking or not, but I'll explain anyway. In american football, at a certain time in a game the center needs to 'snap' the ball a long distance. Some call this 'deep snap' and some call it 'long snap'. SFTS, is doing a poll to see, which phrase is used most.Originally Posted by Dutch_guy

Long snap. The job description for the center in field goal/punt plays is "long snapper".

Long Snap.

INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Interchangeable. But "Long Snap" is an older term - one I heard and used as a kid in the 50's & 60's. I think I heard "deep snap" on Monday Night Football, within the last 6-7 years. Probably a Texan-ism... those guys take their High School football very seriously. More so than the NFL even.
On a side note: It's actually a pretty tough physical skill to master, in effect 'throwing' the ball between your legs, while looking upside-down at a target more than 5 yards behind you. AND of course, with the knowledge of several 300-pound guys only seconds away from smashing you into the ground.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

It's a quick snap if the QB is a little frisky..........unlees the center is gay then it's a long snap. Oh and don't make me explain the deep snap
