Im not sure if anyone else said but the refs in the “Fail Mary” were replacement refs because the regular refs were on strike for something.

2023-12-18 15:11:38 +0000 UTCThe Immaculate Interception is currently the longest interception run back in Super Bowl history. (99-yards).

2023-10-25 05:30:42 +0000 UTCyou are completely right in thinking that the packers/seahawks touchdown call was insane. Everyone knew it was an interception besides the refs, it was a huge controversy 8:26 a punt that goes out their own endzone is a safety, same as if someone were tackled in their own endzone 22:28 he called an onside kick to start the second half to start the half with the ball and good field position. This was an extremely dumb and lucky call that somehow worked, but i guess since it worked it's genius. The risk is that they recover it and have way better field position than they would if you kicked it off normally

2023-10-05 13:18:59 +0000 UTCWill keep an eye out if we ever do a video like that!

2023-10-05 13:18:41 +0000 UTCAppreciate the info Pete! Poor Buffalo 😩
Damon Richmond
2023-10-05 13:18:10 +0000 UTCYeah it’s hard, because technically the ball is being passed 😂 so much terminology! Thanks JT!

2023-10-03 20:41:31 +0000 UTCGuys should watch Americas game 2007 Giants, its all about that season thats ends with the helmet catch. And I think the entire video is on youtube

2023-10-03 02:22:47 +0000 UTCAt least they gave that game a nickname

2023-10-02 00:14:57 +0000 UTCYes us Dolphins fans love the helmet catch. I agree that was an interception on the Fail Mary. The referees were on strike that season so they were using replacement refs.

2023-10-01 22:30:11 +0000 UTCWhen we saw the Hemet Catch I assumed we'd see the Edelman catch from the 28-3 comeback after it as a companion. How did that play escape a nickname? Maybe "The Sea of Legs."

2023-10-01 07:58:20 +0000 UTCTo add on: when you kick off the ball has to go at last ten yards or be touched by the other team before the kicking team can recover it. Onside kicks get recovered pretty rarely - something like 20% of the time before kickoffs rules were changed to make them safer and 5% now. Surprise onside kicks happen a few time a year (google says about 10 a year from 2000-2019) and are recovered around 45% of the time (though that number is probably lower with the current rules).

2023-10-01 07:55:12 +0000 UTCCorrect me if I'm wrong, but the reasoning on that play would be that by the time they hit the ground it was a 50/50 ball and so goes to the offense by rule. I'm not saying that's the right call, but I think that must be the logic when the defender clearly caught it at first.

2023-10-01 07:45:54 +0000 UTCHaven't seen anyone say anything g about the Tuck Rule one yet. The rule that made that play possible is no longer a rule. The rule at the time essentially was any arm motion forward was considered to be a passing motion even though Brady was not throwing it but instead had done a pass fake. There's a pretty good 30 for 30 on this that cane out somewhat recently with Tom Brady and the guy that made the hit Charles Woodson in it who were college teammates. It's called "The Tuck Rule"

2023-10-01 02:45:20 +0000 UTCAs a Bears fan the double doink hurt so badly. I don't even care that it might have been tipped, Cody Parkey had a bunch of doinks that season, so this was just comeuppance

2023-10-01 01:33:07 +0000 UTC"Las Vegas Lateral" is such a lame nickname. I prefer the one coined by the Rich Eisen Show: The Hail Moron.

2023-09-30 23:21:38 +0000 UTCOh shit, the River City Relay and John Carney's extra point miss. Jon Bois has a "Pretty Good" episode entirely dedicated to that one play, and all the other circumstances that made it both beautiful and extremely tragic. It's a MUST watch for the channel. It's appropriately titled "NO!!!!!!" - Season 2 Episode 1
Pete Finch
2023-09-30 20:51:10 +0000 UTCAs an FSU alum from that time period, seeing the term “Wide Right” is very triggering. 🙃 I’m sure that will come up if you guys find a collection of college football plays that have nicknames.

2023-09-30 20:41:57 +0000 UTCDamo, when you said "I bet the laces were out" about the Bills' Scott Norwood miss (Wide Right), you were dead on. The entire villain story of Ace Ventura was actually based on that kick by Norwood, imagining that he instead played for the Dolphins and took revenge after that miss ruined his life. That play gave us an iconic 90s movie and also handed my Giants their second of four Lombardi Trophies 😁 Buffalo of course went on to lose 3 more Super Bowls in a row

2023-09-30 20:35:35 +0000 UTCcareful calling "laterals" as "pass"...You guys doing great keep up the progress

2023-09-30 20:34:33 +0000 UTCSorry for going one at a time. Next time I'll watch the whole video before commenting! On the "Ambush" play, the Saints totally surprised the Colts coming out into the 2nd half by conducting an Onside Kick. These plays are ordinarily only done out of desperation when a team is trying to come back at the very end of a game and they have no other option to try and get the ball back after a score. You hardly ever see them attempted at any other point of the game. They carry a tremendous risk because by kicking it so short you're giving your opponent a much shorter field to try and go score on you if they recover the kick (which they almost always do if they're expecting it). This took major guts to call such a risky play in the biggest game of the year.

2023-09-30 19:42:40 +0000 UTCIn that "butt punt" scenario it would be ruled a Safety against the punting team. It's the same reason why the Orlovsky was also called a Safety because the ball went out of bounds through the offense's own end zone.

2023-09-30 19:23:21 +0000 UTCThe "Fail Mary" had lots of controversy attached to it which are as follows: The referees in the game are actually replacement refs because the regular NFL referees were on lockout during this part of the season. The lockout ended a couple days after this game. Also on the play the Seattle WR Golden Tate pushes off a Packers defender which the league admitted should have been called a penalty for Offensive Pass Interference thus negating the touchdown call. Finally there was the fact that two different referees initially gave contradictory signals one being Touchdown while the other signaling Touchback due to the interception. It was just an overall very messy situation and a bad look for the NFL.
