Just one per play. Clearly what is going on here, as this is American, is that Jesus is the QB, and is handing off to the Running Back. Meanwhile his offensive line (the Apostles?) have let a blitzer through, who is about to drive his Holy head into the Astroturf.
I first saw this on gadgets for God - http://www.ship-of-fools.com/gadgets/index.html - which is a truly excellent site for kitsch. Always worth a perusal every few months.
A leading presenter on China Central Television's English-language channel has revealed himself to be a xenophobic hate-monger. WHY does he still have a job? Lobby for his dismissal - by any and all means.
Days Ai Weiwei was detained

With ironic, sinister symmetry, the celebrity artist/activist was incarcerated on the same day that my friend Wu Yuren was finally released from 10 months' detention.
Now, like Wu, he's been released on extremely restrictive 'bail' terms - but could face re-arrest at any moment. He was detained incommunicado from April 3rd to June 22nd 2011.
Days Wu Yuren was in prison
307
"Released on parole" after 10 months; "parole" lifted another year later. The original charges against him were apparently dropped without his trial ever being formally concluded.
Froog is an escaped lawyer - but there is no need for alarm; he is only a danger to himself, not to the general public. An eternal wanderer, he now lives in an exotic city somewhere in the 'Third World' *, where he is held prisoner by an unfinished novel (or, more precisely, an unstarted novel). He spends a lot of time running, writing, taking photographs, and falling in love with women who fail to appreciate him. He also spends a lot of time in bars.

Every time I see this I am amazed Jesus is giving the handoff in this situation - he's asking for a fumble.
Come on, cover the ball up and take the sack! Then maybe a Hail Mary (Hail Mum?) pass on the next play.
Looks a bit like a forward pass, doesn't it? (Yeah - how can you tell? It's not a well-mowed field.)
But then, you're allowed two per play in the American game, aren't you? It just never seems to happen.
It's always struck me that Jesus looks like he's receiving here rather than passing.
Either way, the kid is going to smack his head on the ground.
