the greatest play of all time

[gmen2164]

to bad the offensive player hit the ball, im a giants fan, but c'mon if there was replay it would be different. but officiating is part of football the game and you have to accept it

[Sharkfin710]

BEASTTTTTT

[steelerblake]

the immaculate reception..... truly the greatest play in nfl history

[EDGonzo55]

never caught it.

[atalasfarted]

EAR RAPE

[EazyESJC82288]

As a Cowboys fan I have to agree that that probably was the greatest play in history

[dexterious006]

MAYBE a super slo-mo IR would have overturned the call, but they didn'y do that in those days, & anyhow it sure looked to me like it was Jack Tatum who deflected the ball. Incredibly lucky play, sure, but that was also INCREDIBLY heads-up play by Franco harris. The call stands. Touchdown!

[OSUBeABeaverBeliever]

@Jackedclown

technically this play was illegal, just none of the officials did anything about it. I receiver was not allowed to catch a ball if it touched an another offensive player first

[zackandaaron23]

@Borneranger300 only queer faggots play soccer. It shows that you have 1) female genitalia or 2) not enough balls to play football. AMAZING CATCH!!!!!!!!

[borneranger300]

If it's not soccer its not a sport.

[JackedClown]

@borneranger300 You mean futbol? because anyone outside the US would think your a fucking retard

[legrandmixer]

LA MEJOR JUGADA DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS, ES DE LOS

SUPER STEELERS.

[frankiebud72]

Haha, sorry about that! Yep, I'm new!

[frankiebud72]

WAY off subject, (but I have a bet so Please help me out!) Does anyone remember the commercial with Terry Bradshaw, several years ago, with him saying "That's my Blindside!"??? If so, what was it for?

Btw, this was one of many years of awesome plays!! Go Steelers! Smack the Pack!

[frankiebud72]

[JTC31290]

Is that even legal? No wonder they call this team the Stealers *cough* Steelers.

[JackedClown]

@JTC31290 Illegal? Whats illegal about catching a football out of the air after it hits your teammate and running it into the endzone? What sport do you play? I think i hear your mother calling you, her nails are done drying, now she can do yours

[JTC31290]

@SteelerGold1 You sure do talk a lot. Why so dramatic? Is life that bad? Please don't shit your pants. Yeah, I know what's going through your head, "This ignorant fuck". Listen bro, I have a full time job and go to college. So think twice before you decide to come on here and throw punches at me through a computer. I have more of a life than that bro.

[SteelerGold1]

JTC31290 So a Full time job and go to College to boot huh?? WoW! I'm so impressed, if only i had known. Listen closely Low life. Your MASTER has a Masters Degree in Psychology from Penn State University, 1991. own & operate a business in W.Pa which Grosses over 6 Mill per year. Played college ball & was drafted in the 5th round by the Cleve Browns. Own and fly a Cessna 182. One of my pastimes is Fucking with Illiterate Morons such as yourself. More humiliation coming your way

[JTC31290]

@SteelerGold1 I have fun talking to people like you. You claim to have all these accomplishments, aren't you special. Reading all this crap, you would probably be in a lot better shape if you ran as much as your mouth did. You really need a life man. Use that 6 million per year and take a vacation, instead of running your mouth and talking about stuff that most people don't give a shit about.

[SteelerGold1]

JTC31290 I also noticed it doesnt take my MASTERS DEGREE IN PSYCHOLOGY to Discern your PROFOUND JEALOUSY of your Superior. Maybe if you rose up from your lazy Welfare collecting ass, you to may find a degree of success. Your posts also indicates you suffer with a high degree of Paranoia. In other words, you are OBVIOUS to one & ALL reading this thread. Now how about the bet i proposed PANTY BOY? Not sure you heard me Low life, its either PUT UP OR SHUT THE FRUCK UP? Well whats it going to be??

[SteelerGold1]

JTC31290 I forgot to mention i couldn't help but notice your PROFOUND ANGER for your MASTER coming through. That coupled with your JEALOUSY simply means i OWN you, lock stock & Monkey Barrel. I tried tell you how far over your head you are, but i suppose since i'm dealing with someone with the Brain matter of a Sub Primate, i really shouldnt expect that much. Oh and Monkey, dont forget to answer me regarding the BET. Where i come from REAL MEN put up or shut the fruck up. EMBARRASS YOURSELF. LOL

[JTC31290]

@SteelerGold1 Shut the fuck up and get a life like a told you already! I don't need to hear your bullshit or about how much money is in your bank account. I honestly don't give a shit.

[SteelerGold1]

JTC31TheGiantSissy-- Well sure you dont want to hear about my Money. Anyone who Lives in a Rat infested Trailer & Eats Spam sandwiches would not want to hear about such things. I Understand. Looks like my Little Bitch ran away from his MASTER about a month ago. Please come back so i can continue kicking the Living Shit out of you for ALL to see, not to mention, TOTAL HUMILIATION. LOL What a fuckin dickhead, Still OWNED! LMFAO! PS: I might even pay you to come back. Lets negotiate LOL

[LilKepi]

@SteelerGold1

you are so mad right now

[SteelerGold1]

LilKepiIsanIlliterateMoron- I'm so Mad you say. Explain in detail. Looks to me you made a quit hit with that 1/4 Sentence, then got the Fuck out of here for fear i would Tear you to shreds. However, i'm going to give you a chance to Explain your comment in Detail so i know what i'm mad about. If so, your MASTER will HUMILIATE you for ALL to see. Well Parasite?? LMFAO at you, Monkey Boy. LOL Will look for your reply. ROTFLMFAO!

[SteelerGold1]

JTC31290 The following is just to stay ahead of the curve. Listen closely, Sub Primate. In the event you call me a liar regarding my previous reply, I have a way of Proving what i stated. You see Monkey Boy, there is a way to Secure a personal Bet on line. (Info to follow) I will put up $5,000 in Cash to your $500.00 On a given weekend, Your Superior will Fly TO YOU! I will have all my credentials in hand, Prove you wrong, then Laugh in your face as i take off with your 500.00 in hand. WELL???

[SteelerGold1]

JTC- While waiting for your reply & since i have a little extra time on my hands, I think i will Embarrass & Bitch slap you around. First of all, its quite OBVIOUS you have Limited Vocabulary. You express yourself like someone with a 8 yr old Mentality. Your writings indicate a Deep seeded NEED for others to believe you are actually somebody when in reality, you have a Fractured personality at best. A Prime candidate for LITHIUM if you will. I happen to be light years ahead of you Intellectually

[SteelerGold1]

JTC31290 Now before i Totally HUMILIATE you further for ALL to see, you might want to consider backing out before i emotionally destroy you. You see Oh most Illiterate one, this past year alone, approx 180 Monkeys came before you. ALL were sent packing when they finally realized how far they were over their collective heads. Some took longer to come to this realization, but eventually all scurried back to their cages where they belong. Lets see how long it takes for you to buy a Clue. LMFAO!

[SteelerGold1]

JTC- Just Sampling what whats to come- Have you ever noticed that whenever you sit behind a keyboard, some idiot starts typing? I am reminded of something relevant that Benjamin Disraeli said: "He was distinguished for ignorance - for he had only one idea and that was wrong." Here's a tip: no one will ever know that you've had a lobotomy if you wear a wig to hide to the scars; stop posting your drivel on message boards, and learn to control the slobbering. Just a sample for my New Monkey. LOL

[SteelerGold1]

JTC31290 I see you FAILED to take me up on the proposed Wager regarding your Superior and what I do.

You NEVER even inquired about it which tells me tis You who are the Bullshiter & LIAR. Heres a thought for you- Why dont you do as I did & put your Money where your mouths at?? Once again for my Monkey, I'll put up $5,000 to your $500.00 that ALL i stated is TRUE. There is a Firm on line that Secures these kind of bets. All I need from you is to MAN UP & accept the bet. Or, more EXCUSES. WELL?

[rogging1]

Back then, two offensive players were not allowed to touch the ball in succession of the throw. The ball bounces off Fuqua when Tatum rams in to him.

[padude64]

Franco Harris caught that ball fair and square you biatches!

[juan69mendez]

Illegal play. Besides, the LUCKIEST play of all time only got them into a superbowl they LOST!!!

[ronsmac]

@juan69mendez The steelers didn't go to the superbowl after this game. Miami played Washington in the Super Bowl that yr.

[oakparkstudios]

@juan69mendez

yeah.... the thing about that is that they won the super bowl that year.

[triad3204]

@oakparkstudios You're both wrong. They were defeated by the Dolphins in the AFC Championship game that year. They went to their first Superbowl the following year (and won it).

[NursingSoftware]

@triad3204 In fact, you're wrong too. The Dolphs did win the AFC Title, but Pitt would not win the Super Bowl until two seasons later.

[TheJkl2311]

@oakparkstudios You're both wrong. This was the 1972 AFC Divisional round game and the winner went on to play the undefeated Miami Dolphins in the AFC Championship who would go on to win the Superbowl. Without this play, the Steelers would still have 6 rings.It was an incredible play and one of the best in NFL history. The Steelers are the greatest team in the NFL, but to be a fan, actually know about the team history, please.

[rmadrazo]

@oakparkstudios actually they didn't. This play occurred in the 1972 season, and I think everybody knows how that one turned out. The significance of this play for the Steelers franchise is that it sparked the 70s domination and ended decades of continued frustration. The 1974 draft finished putting all the pieces to the puzzle with 4 hall of famers, and THAT is the year they won their first super bowl.

[brandnutopian]

@oakparkstudios Actually, the thing about it is that it's a spectacular catch by Franco Harris off a totally wild Hail Mary thrown by Bradshaw. "Immaculate Reception" kind of says it all.

[gtlip]

@juan69mendez lucky..lucky naw lucky is the fact that your mother had sex with someone and had a piece of shit like you

[stennet7]

@juan69mendez it was legal, and they didn't go to the super bowl that year

[SkyLineCinema]

@juan69mendez um your dumb kid

[JackedClown]

@juan69mendez Your a fucking retard. We lost the super bowl that year? we have only lost one super bowl and thats to dallas in 96. But obiously with a name like juan mendez what can anyone really expect? I mean seriously juan mendez...

[RELubber]

@juan69mendez and oakparkstudios You're both wrong. The Steelers lost the following week to the Dolphins. That was year of the undefeated season for Miami.

[DwightWhite78]

@RELubber I know some people just say what they want to hear. Sorry to tell you but the Steelers did lose that year. Best team of all time was the 1976 steelers and they lost do to Franco Harris being injured.

[RELubber]

@DwightWhite78 Sorry to tell me the Steelers lost that year? I said the Steelers lost the following week to the Dolphins. WTF are u talking about?

[deadline991]

@juan69mendez That's not an illegal play...

[yofluffyo]

@juan69mendez How is this illegal?

[300MUSIC]

this was absolutely amazing!

[cibobary8766]

i think the pass by roethlisberger to holmes at the end of super bowl 43 was a better play and a more important play,too. this was just a miracle.

[ArelyLopezworshiper]

I think the best play ever was the Play by eli manning and the other guy in the 2008 super bowl. Manning escaped like 4 defenders and an almost certain dogpile and still got the ball to the receiver who caught the ball on his helmet in between a defenders arms...just saying.

[moloko5]

@ArelyLopezworshiper I agree with this. The immaculate reception was 90% luck. That throw and catch by the Giants was 100% amazing skill. He caught the ball with his helmet FFS! lol

[volsncards]

I have to respectfully disagree Steeler fans. The greatest play of all time was when Roy Guerilla missed the field goal in Super Bowl Ten prompting Jack Lambert to throw Cliff Harris on his ass for being a smartass!

[SportsEinstein]

Luckiest play of all time. Not the greatest ever. But LEGAL!!!!! so shut up raiders fans

[Eclipton]

This may be the greatest play in the NFL, but not even close to the greatest play in all of football. The best play in all of football is "The Play" which happened in 1982 between California and Stanford.

[foreverach]

Why is this the greatest play ever? It's all about LUCK and nothing else... Of course it's memorable but only because it's so freaky. It's not in any way a great pass...

[buloo1234]

then move fucking bac lipby

[shanepoopsballoons]

not the greatest it was luck

[motivrider316]

fucking hate the steelers. could watch this play 100 times.

[headley62]

I don't care if Pittsburgh wins 100 Superbowls.

Pittsburgh is a horrible city.

[lipby]

Pittsburgh is the most livable city in America. Grew up there and lived all over the country-- would move back in a second.

[hop2171]

BINGO!

[boxingjerapah]

greatest robbery of all time ?

greatest home town bullshit call of all time ?

YEP

[hop2171]

Right again

[acdcroxyourmom]

pause at :14 where the fuck is the ball?????

[MrStones64]

you are correct, correct7.

[jamyrpark]

loved it

[LegoDudes7]

yeah

[Hunkola]

God and the Lord Jesus himself blew their loads watching this great play when it happened..........so suck my asshole, haters.

[DeadInLA]

6 Super Bowls. Steelers are the greatest football team in history so eat it fuckers.

[correct7rocks]

i'm a steelers fan, but u just can't sit there and say there the best team in history.the packers are they had 24 championships before there were even superbowls!

[JackedClown]

@correct7rocks Why because Greenbay was an original team playing back in the day when the sport was new and there were only a few teams? You count that? good luck with life

[MrBigben1221]

@correct7rocks I hate to say it but its true

[AuburnAttack21]

@correct7rocks

Well, you can't just sit there and use the wrong homophone, either.

When it all boils down to it, it's an opinion. Every team has their own strengths, and weaknesses, and it varies from season to season. The number of championships is meaningless when it's not the same guys year after year, which often it's not.

[pittsburghdean02]

@correct7rocks ... yeah back when there were 5 teams.

[footballkeith23]

God i just blew a load this was a great video.

[DanthemanVvV]

Patriots forevor. Give me -'s I don't care.

[youngshawn419]

rofl man patriots suck and cheat tom brady isnt even gonna make it to hall of fame fag

[1talentedkid]

no no, i agree patriots are good.

i personally like the packers, because thats me but you hav a right to your opinion. everyone does

[lcronovt]

honestly is not the greatest, but is one of the greatest.

[Vtx73]

say all the bad things about the steelers you want.....theyre still better than the teams you route for. (:

[MasterChief967]

it was good play but not a great pass

[00BERSC00L89]

plus that was an illegal play back then a football couldnt touch a football in the air and another guy catch it so its not that great of a play

[katpackphever17]

no the rule back that was when a person from the same team touched it first it was a dead ball but clearly the Raiders touched the ball first cause if pittsburgh touched it the ball would not of shot backwards the way it did like that, if it would of hit the steeler player it would of shot straight in the air almost

[00BERSC00L89]

no actually pittsburgh obviously touched it first i mean how could you not tell plus i just watched it 20 times and yes the ball would have flew back like that so im not seein what your gettin at there

[dRUnkHIGHLANDERS]

wow do really have that little of a life that you are gonna sit here and argue a play that happened 40+ years ago, during a season in which the steelers didnt even win the superbowl? kinda pathetic...

[00BERSC00L89]

im not arguing im stating the obvious

[hop2171]

Kinda pathetic ou feel that way, it cost another team the right to move on. Granted i am not a Raiders fan or a steeleROIDS fan but if it was your team you would have a different tune junior

[dRUnkHIGHLANDERS]

shit happens in sports. get the fuck over it. there isnt any proof it touched a steeler. even if they had video replay back then it would have been inconclusive.

[hop2171]

yeah thats right it does, steroids happen to you POS. And if you actually saw this game which you obviously never did, when franco "i run to the sideline" harris scored on this play, NONE of the Refs would make the call. bet you didnt know that now did ya skank breath? Yep thats a fact, nobody would make a call and they ran into the tunnel and looked at replay which wasn't even allowed at the time to try to make their call. But retards like you talk out of your ass and would never know that

[dRUnkHIGHLANDERS]

there was a screen in the tunnel BUT IT WAS NOT USED. keep crying you bitch. you look like a total faggot right now.

[hop2171]

HAHAHAHAHHAAHA thats the best one i've ever heard!! Holy shit!! You think that one up all on your own little t-bagger? Trying to rewrite history are we? Fact of the matter is immediately right after the play there was no signal made on the field so if they didnt look at this screen in the tunnel, what did they do? Pray to God to find out what happened? hahahahaha god you are one dumb t-bagger!!

[dRUnkHIGHLANDERS]

THE TALKED IT OVER. i cant understand how you are getting so worked up over such an overall meaningless play. but your crying amuses me.

[hop2171]

HAHAHAHHAHAHA they talked it over! Holy shit thats a good one! And nobody would look at the screen showing the replay? Yeah and i got a few bridges for sale too. Seriously you really need to get a clue before coming here and writing such fantasy stories, i actually am starting to feel bad for you cause you are so f'in stupid.

[Speegs23]

Its the greatest example of dumb luck in football history, a "no way" moment but not on account of execution, just dumb luck timing.

[yoantonio1]

best offensive play ever immaculate reception. best defensive play ever is troy polamalus interception against the chargers. still the immaculate reception is the best play ever.

[pgraybengal]

I hate the Raiders and the Steelers I think that play was the biggest goof by an official I've seen the ball hit John Fuqua when Jack Tatum hit him now I don't think the ball hit the ground but back in those days the ball couldn't touch offensive players consecutively. The only good thing is listening to Al Davis, John Madden, George Atkinson and all the Raiders wine about it.

[sody2478645]

ASOME

[senger24]

dude i am a huge steelers fan and dont get me wrong cuz i love the steelers to death, but we didnt cream them, we won by a hairline, and our defense is so much better then r offense, not saying our offense isnt good, its just not the greatest or better then r defense

[frenchfriehelmet]

steelers gonna open a can of woop ass tomorrow

[robertmastroianni]

You were saying something about an ass wooping?

[frenchfriehelmet]

ya they spanked them cardinals the only reason they got that big play was our deffenceive courdinator is an idiot he almost lost us the game but our offence is so good they took it all the way down the feild and scored the winning td

[pennysjazzymum]

I was saw this game 4 real and hahahaha i laugh at how you bicker remember any given sunday , go suck on your pacifiers and cry on your blankies , i was there whwn the steel curtain was made! SORRY U MISSED OUT!

[michaelstillidie]

didnt even win the superbowl that year. Get over it steelers were and still are amazin

[jard1o1]

how is it the best pass ever he didnt intend for that to happen

[idunno009]

immaculate reception, not pass

[jard1o1]

the guy who put the video said it was the best pass ever

[idunno009]

my bad

[h2baby]

auuuu the imaculate reception

[Cardsharp227]

Get out your towels, these playoffs are going to be a bumpy ride in SteelerNation.

[JudyGurl]

Wow, reading some of these comments, it's so cool to me that after over 30 years, this play still amazes football fans. HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO !!

[theOlLineRebel]

Greatest pass? Not quite. If it was it would've been caught by the intended receiver, not bounced way over to some other lineman.

[JudyGurl]

first of all, it's called the greatest PLAY (meaning the totality and outcome) not just the pass. And that wasn't "some other lineman", it was the RB Franco Harris.

[Keefer1958]

The play was given a name. it is called "The Immaculate Reception."

[pickle4714]

that is fake, or else the camera angle would be the same. even back then.

[JudyGurl]

um, look up immaculate reception. It's only the most well known play in NFL history, thank you very much

[pickle4714]

if it is so well known, then why is it never mentioned or played on any sports show? thats because it is fake!

[jard1o1]

r u kidding u r a dick face

[final784]

its not a fake they played it on sports shows and 2 scientists one a fan from oakland did a test result and it was proven that it hit the an oakland defender and not the receiver. it was the greatest play only because it was a miracle play. if you don't beleive this than go to video titled immaculate reception and it will show you the footage of the day with commentators and everything

[pickle4714]

do you even know what immaculate means? it means spotless or clean. how does that have anything to do with football? that title would more lead me to believe that the reciever's jersey was stain free.

[JudyGurl]

ok pickle, tell ya what...go to the internet and look up "immaculate reception". you'll get like doezens of links to this story. and if by some other worldly occurance you don't get any hits, call any sports show or radio station and ask them about it.

[final784]

steelers rule the other teams suck

[pickle4714]

if the other teams are so bad, then how come the steelers have not won every super bowl and gone undefeated every season?

[final784]

the other teams are so bad only because they haven't own 5 superbowls soon to be six and the teams that match our greatness is san francisco 49ers, dallas cowboys and thats about it.

[0hottyhothotty0]

that brought chills up my spin that was amazing :)

[muttville1]

AMAN!!

[nizmojoefan]

that's the way franco harris does it

[Brunston44]

fake!

[pioupqg1]

how the hell is that fake

[Brunston44]

shut up that is way fake!!!!!!!

[ripoff669]

it f-ing hit tatum u stupid raiders fans

[megaman754]

the steelers are cheaters.

[justingarman]

And you are a douche bag

[Brunston44]

lol good 1

[manwithoutaroom]

Many people do not know that the Immaculate Reception play was in the Steeler playbook, and they practiced it 25 times a week for just such an emergency.

[nisiflskntl]

steelers all the way!!!!!

[L1LNasty]

i met him :D lol when i lived in florida he golfed in a private golf course in my backyard hes super nice

[onblock7]

That was just rediculous, talk about luck on your side that team, it was destiny.

[froboy51]

I wish I could of been alive to se that play that was my favorite play the steelers ever did

[Slick4rmMUD]

wow dat was hot, i did dat once at skool

[lizzardman1432]

no way...

[nationaltreasure77]

it was sure as better than "the catch"

[DRbiohazard]

Franco was "Johnny on-the-spot".

What a way to win your franchise's 1st playoff

game!

Plays like this helped cement football as

America's New Favorite Past-time!

[ConnellDawg2]

i might add that this was an illegal play during this time. After a defender touched the ball the offensive player could not regain control. GO BROWNS!!

[Bigbadben7]

Look, everyone knows at the time the ball couldn't be touched by a O player then caught by an O player, without being touched by a D player in between.

The ball bounces off Tatum, clear as day, if it does hit Fuqua it hit him first the bounced of Tatum's shoulder pad a fraction of a second later.

[zakamoe12]

haha!! well put ConnellDawg....well put indeed.

[ConnellDawg2]

haha..people are retarded! if they are gonna try to argue something they need to know what they are talking about first

[Hiilikeux]

browns can such the jags dick watching the superbowl with the steelers winning BITCH!

[zakamoe12]

hiilikeux....what do u mean by browns "such jags dick?" ive never heard that one before?

[nisiflskntl]

wtf are you talking about learn how to spell

[peachfoot]

Un-fucking-believable!!! And I even remember this play! I was about 12 yrs. old that year and remember watching that game and talking endlessly about it in school the next day.

[72ocker13]

That was friggen SICK!!!in the good way.....Man that was amazing

[saruche]

tht wus frikin wierd

[LilDthewrestler]

OMG that waz crazy did u see that guy miss it and then he freaking IDK that waz weird
