I like that too, but you're going to have to expand the meaning to make it usable in American football.  Maybe it could be one of those words that has two meanings.

sledge, slej, verb
1.  To pound someone's skull so viciously that their feet are driven into the ground like a railroad spike.
     Geno f*****g sledged Roethlisberger.
2.  To trash talk in a subtle and funny manner.
     Geno incurred a penalty for standing over Roethlisberger and sledging him after his original sledge.

I can hear Lap in the postgame: "Our sledge of the game award goes to Geno for his fourth quarter double sledging of Roethlisberger."
