I watched a LIVE HAILMARY PASS get caught in the Endzone for a TD. WOW!! Drew Brees threw a Hail Mary from midfield and it was caught in the Endzone by a Saint Receiver. Never in my life have a watched a team Succesfully complete a Hailmary play. Has anyone else ever watched a live Hailmary play?

I was too young to see that one. Sonny may have seen the Dallas Hailmary in 1991 against the Deadskins

I saw the ultimate:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hail_Mary_pass

The term "Hail Mary pass" is believed to have been coined by Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach, referring to his desperation (and Catholic beliefs), for his game-winning touchdown pass in a December 28, 1975 NFC semifinal playoff game. With 24 seconds remaining, Staubach threw a desperation pass to receiver Drew Pearson, who was being covered by cornerback Nate Wright. It appeared that Pearson had pushed off, but as the ball came down Pearson stopped and Wright tripped over his leg. Pearson caught the ball pinned slightly against his right hip and ran into the end zone for the winning touchdown. In discussing the play during a post-game interview, Staubach told reporters that he closed his eyes, threw the ball as hard as he could, and said a Hail Mary prayer. Although the term may date further back, no reference has been cited as yet which pre-dates Staubach's comments.

No it was Flutie and BC vs. Miami Hurricanes and Bernie Kosar.

Anyhow I actually got to see the Browns win their first game back on a hail mary from Tim Couch, against the Saints I believe.

A 'Canes fan!!! We are hard to come by. :lol:

That game may have won Flutie the Heisman, but it didn't
win them a NC. And last time I counted, the 'Canes have 5!

OSU fiasco bowl game was MUCH more painful!!!

If you need any pointers on throwing a TV out a window or into a back yard, give me a call - I have plenty of experience.

I even through a Christmas tree at my younger brother once.
