There’s the Heimlich Maneuver, then the Mel Feldman Method, both designed to prevent us from gagging.

Let’s try this Feldman solution one more time. It’s a tested way to turn a merciless, twisted blowout into a humiliation of the victors. A lesson in how to lose the game — even by 118 points, as occurred this week — yet win the day.

There’s no better way, beyond applied common decency, to combat the adult-ordered removal of the sport from our sports as unholy, unnecessary, graceless blowouts now arrive weekly.

Last month California’s Inglewood High School football team slaughtered Morningside, 106-0. Winning coach Mil’Von James chose to play his starting quarterback the entire game, allowing him to throw 13 touchdown passes.

Monday in Statesboro, Ga., the Division I Georgia Southern women’s basketball team stomped Carver — a tiny, predominantly black Atlanta school from the National Christian College Athletic Association — by the highly un-Christian score of 133-15.

Georgia Southern set several school records — including 28 steals where none were needed — that will be entered along with the rest of high school and college record-breaking but ill-gotten achievements.

In what seemed rationalized nonsense, Georgia Southern’s coach, Anita Howard, explained:

“Hats off to Carver, this is one of our non-D-1 opponents. So I talked to our kids about focusing on what we do. When you go to work, you do your job. Our job is to defend, rebound and run.”

And humiliate, brutalize, embarrass, kick them some more when they’re already way down and far out. Yup, here at Georgia Southern we don’t care if we’re playing the Sisters of Mercy, let ’em feel us on their bus ride home to Atlanta and into next week! Beat ’em by 118!

That’s what we teach “our kids,” here!

The antidote? The Mel Feldman Method.

Feldman was the girls coach at Fallsburg High School in the Catskills when his kids — the tallest was 5-foot-8 — were being crushed, down 40 at the half, playing 16-minute halves, to the defending regional champs during the 1982-83 season.

At halftime he told his kids that they didn’t deserve to be humiliated like that. So, if their opponents came out in the second half still in a full-court press and still playing their starters, they should score a few layups into their own basket.

“If beating us by as many points as possible was so important to their coach,” he explained in 2016, “the least we could do was help him out.”

His kids thought that a great idea. They then twice scored for the other team. “They had fun with it,” said Feldman.

The game — and Feldman Method — made for a local sensation and debates. But Feldman had succeeded in flipping the script, somewhat invalidating the final score, stealing the victors’ easy thunder to leave a clear message.

And that made for a pretty good ending, too.

“The next time we played them,” Feldman said, “we again lost by a lot, but things were different — no attempt to run it up or press all game, and he played his subs a lot. From no sportsmanship to total sportsmanship.”

To think that if Carver determined to lose to Southern Georgia by, say, 122 points rather than 118 by scoring four points for Georgia Southern, the winners would have been the losers and the losers the winners. And Carver likely would have proudly made national news.

What would Georgia Southern’s coach have done, complained of bad sportsmanship?

As Roger Goodell — the pandering, BLM-suckered phony — continues to adorn the NFL’s end zones and backs of helmets with insulting reminders that NFL fans are presumed racists who must change their evil ways, he also continues to ignore what fans can’t miss — the on-field incivilities and off-field criminal acts committed by players.

Among those NFL-approved helmet messages is, “Stop Hate.”

Sunday, Dallas offensive lineman La’el Collins was ejected after a forget-the-game, sideline fight with Washington linebacker William Bradley-King.

WFT linebacker Cole Holcomb afterward explained: “It’s Dallas. We hate them. They hate us. They can do what they want. I really don’t give a s–t.”

Yes, Roger, “Stop Hate.”

Raiders-Chiefs was prefaced by the Raiders purposefully gathered at midfield atop the Chiefs logo — college men and now professional athletes behaving like a street gang to declare a turf war on a rival gang. Pathetic.

Some of the players wore helmets reading “Inspire Change.” Great idea. When do they start?

Vikings running back Dalvin Cook, arrested twice in his youth (once for robbery, the other for carrying a gun) when he was recruited to Florida State — having somehow, conveniently beat the previous charges while continuing to rack up, and beat, more charges — is now being sued by an ex-girlfriend who presented photos of her swollen and scarred face she alleges were the result of Cook beating her. And then he countersued her for defamation!

Cook wears a helmet carrying that “Inspire Change” message.

This past Saturday morning’s Craig Carton hour on WFAN to address compulsive gambling was another good one. His guest, a recovering gambling addict who did jail time trying to feed his habit made for kindred souls.

He and Carton told how Gamblers Anonymous duplicates Alcoholics Anonymous programs. Gambling is often a twin-addiction with drugs and/or booze.

But the show closed to dark comedy as Carton was heard narrating a commercial for a magic elixir that cures hangovers, followed by a sports update sponsored by one of those get-rich-quick gambling operations. Location, location, location!

Saturday, during the NYCFC-Portland MLS Cup on ABC, British play-by-play man Jon Champion spoke what we seldom hear: unfettered honesty.

As NYCFC forward Valentin Castellanos writhed on the ground near the Portland goal in dubious pain, Portland counterattacked as Champion spoke his mind:

“Castellanos has been rolling around inside the Portland penalty area, looking slightly ridiculous as there’s no way he was fouled. And with no one showing any interest, he has now picked himself up.” Gin!

Compare that with the next night during Packers-Bears when NBC know-it-all Cris Collinsworth insulted a national audience with a “truth” about Aaron Rodgers that viewers knew wasn’t true:

“Have you seen a guy, and in particular this year, be more honest about everything?”

Yeah, Rodgers is a regular COVID era George Washington.

Perhaps as a salute to Mark Gastineau, the Jets on Sunday shattered records for most check-me-out celebrations performed by members of a 3-10 team while losing. CBS, which televised the game, broke a record for most slow-motion replays of members of a 3-10 team in acts of self-aggrandizement.

Gee, those replays of running backs and receivers making a first-down signal — now commonly known on TV as a “moves the chains” signal — never gets old, does it?

In Washington, a sack of Dallas QB Dak Prescott signaled the start of a gyrating dance of immodesty by the defense. At the time, Washington was down 21 points.

In his WFAN days, Chris Russo said he doesn’t plan to watch the Army-Navy game because it has no nationally ranked team, thus “does nothing for me.”

Apparently, those at the controls of the CBS Sports app — Army-Navy would soon start on CBS — felt the same way. Under the day’s college football schedule was a blank with the explanation: “There are no Top 25 teams [playing].”
