Marv Albert's Great Manning-to-Tyree Call

Posted 2/10/2008 on FanHouse

Although I thought Joe Buck of Fox did solid work during Super Bowl XLII, I must agree with Awful Announcing and say that Marv Albert , who was calling the Super Bowl on the radio, did a better job than Buck of calling the instant classic Manning to Tyree play: Albert and Buck both noted that Eli Manning faced pressure at the start of the play and that David Tyree made a spectacular catch ...

Thanks to our friends at Awful Announcing for this find. It's Steve Sabol of NFL Films, who has been to all 42 Super Bowls, declaring David Tyree's fourth-quarter catch to be the best play in the history of the Super Bowl.

LET'S JUST CALL IT 'THE PLAY'

Posted 2/6/2008 on With Leather - Sports news and gossip for people who are all, like, "Whatever."

Over the last couple days everyone's been looking for a name for The Play -- you know, The Play where Eli Manning miraculously eluded the Pats rush to heave a pass to David Tyree, who in turn made a miraculous catch on third and five.  Listen, people, it's not that fucking difficult.  Are you ready to have your mind blown?  Because 289 and I -- bright, creative minds that we ...

Eli Manning to David Tyree: Ball on Helmet

Posted 2/6/2008 on FanHouse

Examining Manning to Tyree , the play that changed the Super Bowl . It was extraordinary the way Giants wide receiver David Tyree leaped to catch Eli Manning 's last-minute pass at its highest point, but it was even more extraordinary that he kept the ball at its highest point: Rather than grabbing the ball with his hands and pulling it into his body, Tyree pressed the ball against his ...

Eli Manning to David Tyree: Tyree Leaps

Posted 2/6/2008 on FanHouse

Examining Manning to Tyree , the play that changed the Super Bowl. There's an old adage in football that a receiver needs to try to catch the ball at its highest point. That's exactly what Giants wide receiver David Tyree did when he saw Eli Manning 's pass come his way in the middle of the field: He leapt into the air to grab the ball rather than waiting for it to come down to him. The ...

Tyree for President

Posted 2/5/2008 on State of the Orange

Well it was only five years ago when a young David Tyree was drafted in the sixth round by the NY Giants. Now after winning his first Super Bowl ring he will forever be remembered for making that desperation catch that sailed from a scrambling Eli Manning. The Catch that changed the out come of the Super Bowl and sent those egotistical Patriots back to Boston with their only blemish, a lose in ...

Tyree Makes Them Count

Posted 2/5/2008 on Complain In Vain

We know that ‘The Play” in the Super bowl was amazing. It really was. You had the near sack of Eli Manning, followed by the crazy fingertip/helmet catch by David Tyree. But that play is actually even more unbelievable then you actually thought. Why? Because of the statistics for David Tyree.

The Action

Posted 2/4/2008 on Enjoy the Enjoyment

Giants 17, Patriots 14 [ NFL.com ]: New England couldn't handle the Giants' pass rush, and never really tried to establish the run. Local angle: The game's longest play from scrimmage--and the play that really seemed to jumpstart Eli Manning, was a 45 yard catch and run by Kevin Boss, the pride of Philomath, Oregon. Today's games: Bulls @ Sonics, 7pm, FSN. [ Stats LLC preview ] Nuggets @ ...

David Tyree Catch: How Was He Not Super Bowl MVP?

Posted 2/4/2008 on FanIQ Blog

Since giving the Super Bowl MVP award to the New York Giants wouldn't have made for sexy headlines today, it made sense to give it to an offensive player. The wrong player apparently. Great game for Eli Manning, but this play alone should have earned the crown for David Tyree. An improbably player -- apparently he dropped everything all week -- making an improbably catch for ...

Super Bowl XLII Notes

Posted 2/4/2008 on Sean's Ramblings

Everything has already been said and written about this year's New York Giants-New England Patriots Super Bowl, but I want to add my two cents anyway. If you were tired of Peyton Manning commercials, prepare yourself for many Eli Manning commercials or more advertisements featuring both Manning brothers. David Tyree's amazing catch was Swann-esque. (Swann as a wide reciever; not as a ...

Day After Super Bowl XLII Jabber

Posted 2/4/2008 on Football Jabber

The problem with calling something one of “The Greatest” is that it takes reflection. This game, the last drive, Eli’s amazing escape, David Tyree’s amazing catch, and the Giants defensive output will be looked back upon with deep toned voice overs for years to come as some of the greatest moments in football history. Earlier [...]

Giants. Manning. Wow.

Posted 2/4/2008 on The Gutty Little Bruins

We definitely witnessed history tonight. So we gonna replace “the catch” now? Or maybe we can call that play the “scramble” ? Unbelievable. Go to the NFL highlight page to see the highlights. Man, the supposed greatest team in the history of the game wasn’t even the best team on sunday. Man, I swear I heard [...]

Plaxico Burress Only Had Two Catches in the Super Bowl, but the Last One Was Pretty Big

Posted 2/4/2008 on FanHouse

I mentioned earlier that Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress had the biggest catch in recent Giants history (see above), but for me, David Tyree was the team's best wideout on Sunday night. Whatever you think, there's no disputing that Burress' touchdown catch with 35 seconds on the clock led to one of the most improbable comebacks in Super Bowl history. Not so much because Eli Manning was ...

Eli On Game-Winning TD

Posted 2/4/2008 on Projo Pats Blog

"It was a fade route," Eli Manning said of the game-winning, 13-yard TD pass he threw to a wide-open Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds left to play in Super Bowl XLII. "They had been playing zone coverage. They came with an all-out blitz and the corner (Ellis Hobbs) sat, because he thought we might run something short. (Burress) ran right by him and made a great catch to win the game."

Eli's Scramble, Tyree's Catch

Posted 2/4/2008 on Projo Pats Blog

It was, without question, the play of the game. With time running out, and the Giants in a 3rd-and-5 situation at their own 44, Eli Manning slipped out of the grasp of several Patriots pass rushers and lofted a long pass down the middle of the field to wide receiver David Tyree, who outjumped Patriots safety Rodney Harrison for the ball, managing to hold it against the top of his ...

The Elusion and the Catch

Posted 2/4/2008 on The700Level.com - Philly Sports & Minutiae

When you think of historic Super Bowl moments, the play in which Eli Manning pulled a Donovan-esque elusion from the grasp of the multiple Patriot defenders and then heaved a prayer that was somehow, amazingly, caught by David Tyree... that play is among the most impressive ever. >> Burress Scored the Game Winner but David Tyree was Giants Best Receiver This Nigh t [FH] video via AA ...

YouTube of David Tyree's Amazing Catch

Posted 2/4/2008 on FanHouse

Super Bowl XLII will be best remembered as the one where the New England Patriots' perfect season came crashing down. It should be remember for the Giants' manning (no pun intended) up and winning this thing. The Eli Manning scramble and David Tyree catch should go down as one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history. It deseves to go up there with Lynn Swann's catch, John Elway's ...

The Play of the Decade

Posted 2/4/2008 on MVN Outsider

Some are calling this the greatest Super Bowl catch ever . Personally, I won’t make that judgement, but I do know this: When people look back at this Super Bowl, the first thing they’ll remember is this play. I have no idea how Eli Manning escaped the New England pressure, and I have no idea how David Tyree made the catch–an unforgettable play, to say the least. Friends, ...

Victory came with a catch

Unsung Tyree key to Giants' victory (AP)

Published 2/4/2008 on Yahoo! Sports - NFL News

Turns out David Tyree was saving up for one game. One really, really big game. Little more than a special teams player all season, Tyree became an All-Pro in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl. First, he shook loose over the middle to catch a 5-yard ...
