"In [[Red vs Blue (Season 4)|Season 4]] of [[Red vs Blue]], [[List of characters in Red vs. Blue#Sarge|Sarge]] is taking potshots with a [[Sniper Rifle]] at his orange soldier [[List of characters in Red vs. Blue#Pvt. Dexter Grif|Grif]], whom he hates. He’s having a great time and blurts out 'This is the best game since Grifball!' That was written about two years ago and we always wondered what kind of game Grifball would have been. That’s why the ball carrier turns orange – everyone in the game is constantly trying to hammer-smash Grif and even if he scores, he explodes. Either way, Sarge wins."

There has only been one documented case (go to YouTube and type in Grifball Week 2 Highlights) when the ball-carrier (A.K.A. Grif) did NOT die after scoring. In this case, he dropped the bomb and rode the hammer wave away from the explosion to safety. When the video ends, Sarge is heard crying in the background, "I'm so sad, I don't think I can go on.  End it now, end it now." <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2m5fYEAHYE</ref>
