    Yeah that was pretty awesome but I'd have to say Troy's INT of Rivers a few years ago was probably the greatest I've ever seen. This one is really awesome though. Collinsworth will probably ask for Beckham's autograph tonight. LOL.

    Troys was great, but this was a different animal. The extension was insane.

    Troy also had an INT of Kerry Collins on opening night in 09 that reminds me of this catch as well. I'm sensing a pattern of when I think about great catches I think about Troy. Hmmm... LOL.

    I'm with Collinsworth on this one (for once). I'm not sure that catch is even possible.

    Anyone else remember the Raiders overusing stick-um and making catches like this on a weekly basis? Without the help of glue, this is an incredible catch!

    That was a sweet grab though.

    I kinda liked Santonio`s at the end of SB 43... ;)...

    But, I`m kinda predjudiced...

    There was another Giant`s reception, where a guy pinned the ball to his helmet, in a SUPERBOWL, that comes to mind also...

    Anyhow, just sayin... That was a HELL of a catch,

    But, in the history of the NFL, there have probably been a few equal to it...

    I hope Collinsworth was wearing "protection", while he talked about it, or he would need to change his undies...

    That dude was in "groupie" mode...

    Yes, it was a great catch, so were a couple by Swann, and Stallworth, and Rice, and Moss, and...
    #Get My Point?

    Thought Harrison had a pretty good one too, but, that had more to do with the return, than the "catch"...

    At work today a known Steeler hater said Lynn Swanns catch was the greatest of all time.

    Was it a great catch? Absolutely.

    Will it be the catch of the year? Probably.

    Is it the best catch ever? I don't think so at all.

    I thought the reaction was way overblown. There are alot of great catches that don't get their due from the NCAA.

    I wasnt sure either but it happened and we saw it. Ball traveling over his head with his back to the ground and arm at a near 90 degree angle to his head. Caught it with two fingers and a thumb. Not sure where I heard this but one sports show called this a catch out of a Matrix movie. I hope I live long enough to see a better one!
