The Draw Play is a webcomic about American Football by artist, New York Giants fan, and self-proclaimed nerd Dave Rappoccio, started in its current form in 2012. Three times a week, it takes a satirical look at figures and current events in the National Football League, often through the lens of a football fanatic who's played just a few too many video games for his own good.Read up on the gridiron follies here.

Suicide as Comedy: When Dave's Author Avatar and a group of concerned citizens ask a suicidal man on the roof of a building if he wants to see the day controversial sports commentator Colin Cowherd is taken off the air, the suicidal man replies that jumping off means that he could stop listening to Cowherd sooner. Cue the entire group on the ledge, ready to jump off on Dave's signal.

Appeal to Worse Problems: Parodied. A man in a bar complains about his wife leaving him, him being fired, his home being foreclosed on, his car being torched by guys he owes money to, and gambling his life savings to pay for cancer treatments. When the guy next to him says he is a Browns fan, the first guy offers the fan a drink.

Driven to Suicide: Philip Rivers, every time Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning rub in his lack of Super Bowl rings. Also despairing Bills and 49ers fans, amongst others, if things are going poorly. When the Giants traded Odell Beckham Jr. to the Cleveland Browns, Dave himself stuck his head in an oven.note See the "Other Thrift-store Tech" section of Technology Marches On for an explanation.

Due to the Dead: Dave has made comics memorializing key figures in the NFL who have died, namely former players Junior Seau and Jared Lorenzen, coaches Buddy Ryan and Dennis Green, and Buffalo Bills superfan Pancho Billa. He also broke from the regular football-related sports themes to address the passing of his father.

Shout-Out: Oh, so very many. A few examples: Super Bowl 48 as a scene from Aliens What happens when you release Machamp Bailey. What if the major figures of Westeros were football players and staff? Doesn't 49ers coach Jim Tomsula look an awful lot like Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force? John Elway Gets drawn as Bojack Horseman "This Week on Days of our Steelers" continues a joke started by UrinatingTree. "I Scream" is a reference to Edvard Munch's famous painting "The Scream", after the Giants traded Odell Beckham Jr. to the Browns. "Weekend at Andrew's" is done like Weekend at Bernie's, a week before Luck did retire. Matt Schaub and Phillip "Ringless" Rivers both commit suicide by grabbing onto some high-voltage wires like Frank Grimes in The Simpsons

Serial Escalation: The Fort Elite Moneys/Money Island running gag started as a way for Joe Flacco to avoid eating his dinner, and has grown to a quest to challenge the money gods (who are NBA players). Said quest leads to the players launching into space, colonizing the moon, and staging a mutiny, before Patrick Mahomes finally defeated the money gods.

Running Gag: Oh, so many. They include, but are not limited to: The phrase "Sexy Rexy" (i.e. Rex Grossman) hidden in each comic, Al Hirschfeld style (this practice has since been discontinued). Peyton Manning's forehead getting bigger with each appearance. Russell Wilson is three inches tall. Fort Elite Moneys/Money Island adding a new member every time a player gets a large contract. Jay Cutler is usually drawn as a Care Bear, but is called "Don't Care Bear", because of his famous lack of caring. During the year he was with the Dolphins, he was the "Don't Care Dolphin".
