      You forgot Niners @ Saints Oct 8th 1989. It's the 3rd quarter with the Saints up 17-3. At their own 40, Joe Montana throw a rainbow to Jerry Rice, who catches it at the Saints' 22 and had a clear way to their 1st TD of the game, but Rice loses control of the ball at the Saints' 2, but the refs still counted it as a TD.

    An odd clarification question:
    Would you consider Marcus Cooper's fumble on the blocked FG (Bears/Steelers, 2017) a DeSean Jackson or a Leon Lett? It does have the defender involvement of the Leon Lett, but the stopping at the 2 yard line of the DeSean Jackson, so I'm not sure where it would be classified.

    @Mr.MikeBarksdale Před 20 dny

    I think you missed one of the more iconic DeSean Drops, and the first time I ever saw it...and it was by the GOAT himself. Jerry Rice did it in a game around 1990 at a game at Veterans Stadium in Philly, kind of.
    The game is well known because it was a San Francisco comeback against Buddy Ryan's dominant defense. There is a legendary highlight overhead of Montana throwing the most beautiful pass to Jerry Rice in that day game with the light green astroturf visible. You see that highlight 100 times in a Montana or Rice highlight video.
    However, earlier in that game Rice caught a TD and dropped the ball clearly on the one yard line, and it wasn't called. It was controversial at the time as Madden and Summerall rightly pointed out that it changed the whole tenor of the game.
    Any die-hard SF fans or a more rabid NFL fan than myself might know what I'm talking about. I was stunned it wasn't in your video, to be honest. In fact, I think Jerry Rice did it on more than one occasion and it wasn't called. Like almost every other controversial play in the 1980s and early 1990s, they always seemed to go SF's way.

    @Mr.MikeBarksdale Před 20 dny

    If I were a coach, I would say this:

I don't like it (because there is a right and a wrong way to play the game), but the minute any of you gets an excessive celebration penalty, then it stops, and no team celebrations are allowed.
    And if any of you drops a ball early like our young friend DeSean (a player with gang connections who has never been told no in his life), then the new mandatory team rule is that you have to hand the ball to the official after every touchdown instead of dropping it. No exceptions.
    I'm happy to treat you all like men until your stupidity and selfishness starts costing us points as a team."

    This points to a lack of discipline.

And wearing the jersey not tucked in. The fact that they are allowed to get away with these things is why I can no longer watch the NFL.

    Ive talked about rhis with friends and i brought up that what if this is an inside dare to fumble at the 1 and act like you scored. They all say no way give up a score but i disagree watch close they all act the same its a badge of honor. No way so many do exactly same way and if they ever seen ut they would make ure to fully cross. Im not crazy i say its a big fun thing they do

    Love it! Only suggestion is highlight the years in a different color when talking about them on the timeline. Keep up the awesome work, you're getting a heck of a lot better at everything!

    How the hell did you find all the ones that went unnoticed by refs?

    I would start coaching players to actually perform the name of the score and touch down the ball for a touchdown which comes from rugby.

    I can understand why this is called "Jacksoning" but I think it also be called "Oregoning" since they've been prime offenders for this over the years.

    If I'm a coach and you do this, you sit the rest of the game and the first half of the next one. You make this bad decision once. Anyone else on the team does this, they're cut.

    Has it occurred to anyone that these aren't "mistakes", but meant to happen? How many times did they make these "mistakes" in college? 0. So, why all of a sudden? It's because they plan it during their "practices". Plenty of time to focus on scripts.
