Playing Possum
Playing possum is a phrase that, taken literally, means to pretend to be dead.

"Playing possum" can also mean simply pretending to be injured, unconscious, or otherwise vulnerable, often to lure an opponent into a vulnerable position himself.
Robert Cox isn't gone. He's just playing possum. Maybe he's just going to do more idiocy like this.
