  • Whoever thinks that the Music City Miracle was a forward pass apparently thinks that they are smarter than all of the professionals who have studied that play. Get over it, Buffalo lost.

  • Fail!!! "The Play" from the 1982 Cal-Stanford Game was the greatest sports play EVER. Period. End of story.

  • WHERES THE PLAY????

    cal stanford should AT LEAST be second in place of willi mays

  • I think he's got it.

  • Jack Fleming, the voice of the Mountaineers!

  • Comment removed

  • more like top 5 biased all football plays lol, still great but not top 5 of course, you are missing many other sports

  • @Jackell25 i have one thing to say about that, BULLSHIT the giants won fair and square

  • i would have laughed if tiger woods ball stopped short

  • @TheFisherman000 Or it wouldn't be a highlight....?

  • does anyone else find it weird that flutie was 5 on this and 5 on touchdown passes?

  • I love the forward pass by the titans. FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk

  • they just wanted to get willie in

  • let me say one thing. If u look at at the music city miracle closely, the player who throws it to Dyson is on the 25 and Dyson is on the 30. HOWEVER when Dyson made the catch he moved backwards to the 25 therefore making it a legal lateral

  • American sports are always weird and confusing.

  • Currcumstance was taken into account way too much on this list.

  • No Cal vs Stanford?

  • @newcombstrohschein I know right? And btw the music city miracle play it really looked like he threw it forward

  • tiger woods is the best, everytime you get goosebumps

  • Music city miracle was legit, you look at the camera angle that shows the line almost parallel with the angle taken and you'll see the ball might not go back very much but it definitely didn't go FORWARD

  • The Willie Mays catch is the most overrated play in sports history. I've seen 10-20 catches better than that

  • @forman208 It really shouldn't even be in the top 50 at all. For whatever reason though, people get very defensive when talking about that play.

  • @newcombstrohschein I think it is in there because he never really looked at the ball after it left the bat. Instead, he just turned and ran. When he caught the ball, by sheer luck he guessed where it was going to be and with a split-second view of the ball, hauled it in, and then threw it back to the infield from clear out by the deepest outfield fence of its time. He threw it so hard, he fell down and lost his hat. Personally, I think it is in the right place at #2.

  • @forman208 but none more important

  • #4 should've been #1! I'm a HUGE Titans fan, it was definitely legal!

  • @T1tansfan Yes and you don't need a computer generation to see how it was legal. Wycheck realeased the ball a yard in front of the white line and dyson caught it like 6 inches back from the same spot. And I agree titans rock baby!!!!!

  • @jneil2007 EXACTLY! Someone other then the refs could see it was legal!

  • the fact of the matter is, the raiders db slipped his hand through to break up the pass. it worked, and made him look like an ass when he caused the #1 play in sports history.

  • baseball play was boring as hell u see like 10 of those every year in mlb

  • I'm a titans fan an I still have to say that it was a forward pass cuz I hate fuckd up calls but there was no one near him so fuck it

  • i dont understand the number 2. (im not a baseball fan)

  • @mano12000 It is very rare to catch a ball over the shoulder, and on the run in baceball.

  • haha Tiger Woods' shot was like

    oh... oh OOOHH... aww fail... OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHh!

  • it actualy was a foward pass..itz 2 yards in front..but hey who cares thats one hell of a finish

  • @SAmonarchs1 no it wasnt. it matters where the ball was, not where the receiver was when he caught it. In fact it was a backward pass. they use computer animation to project exactly what happened and where the ball was caught. The throw actually had room to spare. Im no titans fan but I have to say it was legit.

  • WIllie Mays catch is the most overrated play of all time in any sport.

  • @HaloGruntLover Have you ever tried making an over the shoulder catch. It's hard. Incredibly hard. Now try to make one after running at a dead sprint for 200 feet. Now make the catch and turn to throw a bullet to make sure the runners don't score. Now do that in the middle of a tight World Series game. Once you have done that, tell me if it's overrated.

  • #5=#2

  • #5 = #1

  • willie mays basket catch is the most overrated play in sports histrory

  • Im pretty sure the immaculate deception bounced considering the nfl loves shitsburgh and they only have one camera angle of the catch

  • @DetroitTigers18 would you like cheese with that whine?

  • @DetroitTigers18 uum the nfl hates em. See the penalties that fly on james harrison. the fines. the missed calls on the second steelers ravens game.

  • @Menumber111 the refs hate the steelers and if you look at the last video,the first wr who got it should have been a flag,pass interference,but since it was caught and returned it was not called

  • hey guess wat doug flewty went to the chapion chip and high school and my dad sacked his ass hoe munro sacked dough flewty my dad j m

  • 4. it was a forward lateral. look, he throws it from the 39.5 to the 40.5

  • golf in top 5 wtf?

  • the immaculate reception was not legal. if you ask any ref now, they would say that it is completly illegal;. event those refs say it was illegal.

  • @tylerwtf97 how the fuck is it not legal. of course its legal. it was a tipped ball and some caught it and scored

  • @tylerwtf97 how the fuck is it not legal. of course its legal. it was a tipped ball and some caught it and scored. a good example of one of the best plays in sports is The Catch in 1982 by dwight clark thrown by joe montana.

  • haha did you see #86 and #20 start clapping and cheering during the immaculate reception..haha

  • 1 word for you McNair, KARMA

  • I can't believe anyone is actually trying to compare a catch that Jim Edmonds made to Willie Mays' catch in the 1954 World Series. First, it was the World Series. Second, it was at the Polo Grounds. The centerfield fence at the Polo Grounds was 475 feet away!!! Mays made that catch probably about 450-460 feet away from home plate when he had been playing shallow center field.. There is no better play in baseball history.

  • the best play ever apparently occured because of a dropped pass that someone was just standing in the right place for. I would put Joe Carter's walk off homerun in the '94 series as better

  • in my opinion eli to tyree was greater than all of them....biggest game in NFL history and that play was unbelievable absolutely unbelievable

  • @itsmeinthe603 I do to but this show was aired before that super bowl had even happened.

  • @itsmeinthe603 I'm a pats fan and I got 2 things to say that. 1. Richard Seymour was being held on that play and the refs didn't see it. 2. My cousin recruited David Tyree to play college football at Syracuse so it's all his fault that the Pats didnt go 19-0. Him and the refs

  • It doesn't matter how deep the ball park is. Sure, it could have been a home run in other parks, but the point is is that the play wasn't really that great. You see highlights at least a few times a year from guys who are running backwards and make similar catches in baseball. They are running backwards just the same. The catch was definitely a great catch, sure. But top 5 on this list? Sorry, but as a baseball fan, even I think it's overrated. Just my opinion.

  • @weebelo1 i feel the same way. it was a great playy, but i really don't see it as that amazing. everytime i see it, i wonder why it was put number 2 on this list.

  • WILLIE MAYS CATCH WAS NOT A GREAT PLAY! THE EXACT SAME PLAY HAPPENS THREE OR FOUR TIMES A YEAR THROUGHOUT BASEBALL

  • @prolifer1000 show me. I dare you. NO ONE EXCEPT JIM EDMONDS (once) HAS EVER EVEN COME CLOSE TO DOING IT. HE RAN FROM SHALLOW LEFT FIELD TO DEEP RIGHT CENTER AND MADE A BLIND CATCH! if you are going to make accusations about one of the best plays of all time, actually watch the game.

  • @RoxRock4ever im sorry, i didnt mean to strike a nerve. im a tiger fan, and austin jackson, our rookie centerfielder, has done practically the same thing four or five times. I think jim edmonds did it even more than once. besides, his was better cause he left his feet. i didnt mean to insult willie mays, he was great and the play was spectacualr, just how was it the absolute best?

  • #4 was a forward lateral

  • @dboylan703 no it wasn't

  • how was the immaculate reception controvercial

  • @DboyYouWant years ago in the nfl there was a rule called "the double touch rule". it was illegal for more than one person on the same team to touch the ball after it was throw foward except for fumbles and other sorts.

  • someone should put the best damn's top 50 memoriable baseball plays i have been looking for that video everywhere but no luck

  • You gotta love on number 1 when the defence hits the first guy when the other defenceman starts cheering than the other guy catches it and he's like "oh shit"

  • number 4 forward pass

  • How was number 2 that big of a deal? It was game 1, not game 7!

  • @77Happy77 Are you kidding me?!? Do you know how insanely hard that play is?

  • @theoriginal61 It was still only game 1, so it didn't matter. It would matter if it were a game sealing grab. I could do that any day.

  • @77Happy77

    Its a big deal because of where the play took place. The Polo Grounds had a 500 foot center field wall, (most ballparks today have around 400ft max) so the fact that he's nearly at the wall when he makes this catch is pretty amazing if you ask me. That ball is a home run in any other ballpark.

  • @toshzthedog I could still do this so easily.

  • @toshzthedog to straight away center is 500 feet, but his catch was outside the extra 100 foot gap in the wall so it was like only 400 feet

  • Love the Willy Mays catch amazing!

  • gotta add manning to tyree

  • lol ya

  • How happy were Nike officials when that ball stalled so nicely with the check visible for the whole world to see?

  • @nano4288 perfect advertising 4 nike

  • theyve done multiple tests and evey single one says the music city miracle was a backward pass so you guys seriously need to stop fucking wining

  • sorry but #4 kateral was forward. it's really really obvious

  • @hfgamer Wow. If it's so obvious then I guess every single NFL official and football analyst must be really stupid. Not to mention every single person in the world who doesn't live in Buffalo. They have looked at that play ad nauseum, starting from reviewing it right then and there, to reviewing it, breaking it down, analyzing it, putting it into formulae, sticking it into computer simulations, hell NASA has probably taken a look at it. Every single unbiased person says its a good lateral and TD

  • The music playing in #1...is it by Hans Zimmer? :)

  • hehhihi i feel hony today anyone shares the same feeling as me

  • i do

  • 3 and 1 were the best.

  • *sigh* was that the last time the Giants won the world series?

    I hope I live to see them win one!

  • actually the immaculate reception was illegal. Back then you couldn't catxh a ball that bounced off another teammate. And in the clip it hits the steeler. And no I'm not a raiders fan.

  • I'm aware of the rules back then. Thats why it was controversial. I say it never hit Frenchy Fuqua.

  • ya it was kinda hard to tell. Coulda gone anyway considering the lack of technology they had. Should've at least reviewed it.

  • and anyways i meant that its impossible to hit a home run at centre field if u hav enough power

  • @awsears94 ty 4 correcting me on that. well if u hav enough power to hit it to center field itll count as a home run.

  • The music city miracle and the immaculate reception were legal plays. Bills fans and Raiders fans need to shut the hell up.

  • Comment removed

  • @SportsEinstein

    oh srry dude i thought you say "illegal" lol

  • @SportsEinstein I AGREE... GOOD JOB.

  • @SportsEinstein right on

  • @SportsEinstein

    Nah man im a bronco fan and i fucking hate the raiders, but they got jobbed. If the refs are deadlocked then its not a catch

  • @SportsEinstein OMFG HE THREW IT FORWARD HOW IS THAT A LEGAL PLAY!!!!!! NO OTHER SPORT CITY HAS BEEN FUCKED THE WAY BUFFALO HAS!!!!

  • @zewski1813 You call yourself a genius but you have not even done your homework. LOL today is not the day after it happened. they have exactly proved the path of the ball to be going back and it would still have been legal if it went straight to him. and i guess i need to explain a forward pass is illegal in that circumstance. maybe Buffalo just sucks ? move or something

  • @SportsEinstein

    Yeah, but the immaculate reception was just good luck.

    Steelers should have been embarrassed to win that game. Cost the deserved winners a Superbowl

  • what the hell happened in number two? didnt he just catch it and throw it back?

  • i think wat happened is that he went wayy back to catch the ball. it was at home run distance already but thanks to his speed he caught it. in polo grounds the only way to hit a home run is to make sure it goes over the walls sort of like the green monster otherwise if u hit at the center it wont count as a home run instead ud get an inside the park home run if u hav amazing speed or a triple if u hav slow speed

  • It saved them the world series

  • Okay! Listen besides the fact that the music city miracle may have been an illegal play. it doesnt change anything. Would it have really mattered if the lateral was a yard backwards. The play cant be changed now so please quit complaining about it. Buffalo should just move to Vegas anyway.

  • wasn't number 4 a forward latterel?

  • number 4 was amazin !

  • Sorry but Tigers chip is not the 3rd most spectacular play in sports history.

  • If only the Bills fans cared as much about actually making it to the playoffs again instead of crying like little girls for 10 years, maybe their team wouldn't be such a joke.

  • It should be called: The Music City Forward Pass. It was thrown forward by a yard, are you blind? IT WAS CLEARLY FORWARD!

  • omg you are a retard. not only should you be able to see that its thrown backwards just with your eyes, its been mathematically proven to be a perfectly legal lateral. quit whining

  • He threw forward by at least a yard, The 30 to the 31 yard line is forward. If that game was held in Buffalo, the Bills would have won, but because they were the road team and the official was worried what would happen if he made the right call, the fans would probably stampede on him. It was No. 3 on the Most Controversial Call in NFL History, just behind the "The Tuck" and "The Immaculate Reception" so there was a lot of conspiracy involved.

  • conspiracy??? its the right call. i live in western new york where everyone is a bills fan and everyone i know admits that this lateral was completely legal. its where the all is on the field that matters not where the player is

  • If you don't want to admit you're wrong and I'm right, then I'm just dropping the subject.

  • hahahahhahahaha okayyy i admit it youre wrong and im right. later ignorant idiot

  • I said drop it

  • last play : AMAZING!

  • i think everyone should get over it.

    the refs thought it counted, and on the HD previews that

    are in some videos, they go over it several times and it is the exact same plays.

    best play i think i have ever seen, and it was kick ass.

    GO TITANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @LoudRapskellians

    your the biggest retard how is that an illegal play? he latteraled it to his teammate

  • Chris Moores catch was Amazing!!!

  • It's where the ball leaves the hand, not where the body is, you can see the ball leaves at an equal point to where the reciever catches the ball.

  • That does not make any sense. Either the ball goes backwards or not, the guys feet are exactly a step behind 25 yard line when he throws it, the guy catches it in front of the 25 yard line, how can u not see that? And even if u try 2 say its where it leaves his hand that still does not hold water, he spin and throws the ball you throw the direction your body is facing and he didnt side arm it from out in front of him.

  • It holds more water than any of your claims. The ball leaves his hand in front of the 25 yard line, and the ball is caught at the exact same position it left the hands of the thrower. It doesn't matter where his feet are set, or where his body is facing. All that matters is the point at which the ball leaves. Next time watch with less biased eyes..

  • its not the point where the balls leave, it what direction the ball goes. Get over it. Its a forward pass life goes on. I am not biased i dont even know both teams in the clip with out watching, what would i be biased about? The fact that u have to make something up like i am biased shows your competence.

  • The point at which the ball leaves to where the ball is caught kind of determines the direction moron... Unless the ball magically went forward and then came back. Otherwise it's a straight line horizontal... Not that hard to see.

  • even though I hate the titans, I will admit that the music city miracle pass was legal. even though he stand behind the 25, his arm is over the 25 as he passes it, and its caught at about the same spot. it could be illegal, but by way to little for "inconclusive evidence"

  • on #4 when he throws it he is right behind the 25 and the catch is made just over the 25. not by much but it is a forward pass. pause at 1:03

  • No, the ball is actually thrown in front of the 25 yard line. His body may be behind, but the point where the ball leaves his hand is on an equal playing field with where the reciever catches it. I'm also completely impartial, as I live in Minnesota.

  • Tennessee! REPRESENT!

  • #4 is not a foward pass look at his arm when he throws the ball 87 dyson he has to go back to catch the ball exactly or a little behnd were it got lateraled besides look it he had trow it a little behind but you can say whatever you guys think

  • number 4 was actually a illegal forward pass but it was close

  • i hate that play that pass is thrown behind the 25 and the ctach is in front of the 25

  • buffalo fan? because where the ball leave wycheck's hand is exactly to the side of where dyson caught it

  • Where is Cal-Stanford?? It is way better than #4

  • agreed... or how about chris moores catch... taht was amazing too lol

  • yeah

  • I like all of these plays, but the Cal-Stanford game should have been included.

  • agreed

  • number 1 shouldnt be theire something else should be there

  • number 2 was that he caught it over his head and didnt really have a chance to see where it was going i geuess...

    -to ultim47ecstrike

  • #4 is legit. Look at where the passer's foot is near the ground, then go his arm's length upfield, which is where the ball was released. Then look at where the ball is caught. It's almost perfectly lateral, but slightly backwards.

  • The best argument i have heard for it being a forward pass was that the ball changes its vertical height while the line does not; therefore although it appears on camera to be moving back wards in relation to the line, it only seems that way because it stated high and was caught low.

  • #4 is soo wrong

  • i dont get number 2

  • For the number 1 play : "That is why you never give up on a play." Number 20 on Oakland put his hands up like they won already.

  • #4 shouldnt have counted, looks like a forward pass, not lateral

  • #3 should be #5 there but oh well

  • I was 11 yrs old when Franco caught it.I hated Oakland so i was going crazy.

  • I can't stand the Steelers, but this was a hell of a play.

  • the music city miracle was bs because it was a forward pass... look at where wycheck's feet are and look where the ball is caught by dyson. I dont even care about the game, but i know that shoulda been turned around.

    The Play should be on here... Cal 1982 vs stanfurd. Its so great is CALLED THEEEE PLAAAY for a reason.

  • Miracle in Michigan should be on here

  • That Willie Mayes catch is overrated. It was a great grab (especially at the time) and it was in the world series...but it's not like it won the game

  • I agree. Besides, his throw back was better then his catch. It was a hell of a throw from outfield to hold the runners at bay.

  • For #1, is the music by Hans Zimmer?

  • I'm not a Buffalo fan (i dont even watch pro football), but I hate the fact that the music city miracle is regarded as one of the best plays. It was definitely a forward latteral. The referees definitely should have called it. It really was pretty obvious.  Even the Immaculate Reception shouldn't have counted, but i'm more lenient since its a rule no longer used.

  • Great #1 sports film, but wtf, where was Tiger putting from, I couldn't see him.

  • The rules state it has to be indisputable evidence for the ruling on the field to be over turned, now the ruling on the field was it was a lateral, now watching this it looks almost perfectly lateral or maybe a 1/8 of a inch forward, but you can't tell that by sight so its not indisputable and you have to stay with the ruling on the field. You know even if they did overturn it there would still be a huge battle over if it was a lateral or not so its really doesn't matter

  • Of course it was. It was a pass by at least a 1/2 yard maybe even a full yard. Only the blind and the kool-aid drinkers believe otherwise.

  • So I assume the entire NFL is blind and cool-aid drinkers then?

  • That has nothing to do with anything. The refs missed the call, period end of sentence. After that the play stands and nobody is going to say anything different regardless of the correctness of the call.

    This has to be explained??

  • It was explained, by the NFL network. Thus my statement has everything to do with it. They reviewed the call and stated, unequivocally that it was indeed a lateral. So if only the blind and kool-aid drinkers believe it was a lateral you are lumping the organization know as the NFL into that category.

    The trajectory of the ball was calculated based on starting position and ending position. It was shown to have gone backwards by about 1/2 a yard. Physics isn't some mystical science.

  • Is that Hans Zimmer's music at the end?

  • tigers shot should have been #1 no one else but tiger woods could have made that amazing of a shot in such a pressure situation. that catch wasnt even that amazing and no one even knows if it was actually a catch, you cant see the ball or his hands

  • Best Damn is a pretty damn good show.

  • no it was not- it was legit

  • Fun Fact: In 2009, Mike Keith and Pat Ryan's famous call of the Music City Miracle was used in a Miller Lite commercial.

  • Boner

  • FYI I REMEMBER THAT TITANS GAME...they did review it for 10-20 minutes it seemed like and ruled it was inconclusive and since it was a TD on the field they couldn't overturn it...had the refs ruled it an illegal pass from the beggining i doubt a review would have overturned it to a legal play

  • are you sure??? because if it was a review, then it was a ref review. Because COACHES COULD NOT CHALLENGE!!!!

  • definately a forward pass there

  • lol #4 should have never counted though, since it was a forward pass, and you can only lateral on kickoffs.

  • it actually was a lateral. it didnt go forward it went an inch or 2 backwards. and if it was forward it is undisputable evidence

  • actually look at it again, Leranzo Neil is a little behind the 25 and Dyson catches it infront of the 25 I wouldn't say there is a difference of 2 feet probably even less than that, but the fact is it was a forward pass.

    Plus I could be mistaken on this, but didn't the NFL come out and say the refs messed up on that play the following week?

    and the coaches couldn't challenge because that was before the day of challenges so that was why there wasn't a challenge.

  • uhh yes actually wade phillips did challenge. the game was on nfl network and i watched it. and that was a diiferent game in the 01 playoffs where the refs came out and admitted they were wrong. brady did the tuck rule and fumbled and it counted as a fumble

  • Brady fumble wasn't counted as a fumble, that is why they won. That later became known as the tuck rule, it was an obvious fumble, but since the Raiders were screwed over, it became a rule for then on that it wouldn't be counted as a fumble, to avoid any confusion in the future.
