CATCH OF THE DAY REDUX

The Catch redux, as I called it on Facebook, last night

You don't have to be a football fan, which I'm not, to appreciate yesterday's NFC Divisional Championship with the San Francisco 49er's against the New Orleans Saints.

On the same week of the 30th anniversary of Dwight Clark's famous catch, Vernon Davis caught a pass from quarterback Alex Smith in the last 8 seconds of the game for the win, 36-32.

Nothing like waiting till the last second, huh? Even I screamed "Holy Shit" when it happened.

How much you wanna bet this is going to reignite the fight to keep the 49er's here in San Francisco?

  1. They are actually referring to this one as "The Grab". Terrell Owens made a catch in the 1998 Wild Card game against the Packers that was pretty much the same thing as yesterday's that they referred to as "The Catch II":

    Either way, what an exciting game and what a great outcome!
