Cow Patties: The Blog

Steve Sirk lobs more "Cow Patties From Columbus" after settling on a decades-old Spaceballs joke as a blog title.

Move Over, Dwight Clark. Maybe Even Willie Mays.

This may be the most stupendously awesome and mind-boggling catch in the history of American pro sports. Well, except for maybe Steve Bartman.

But by an athlete, it doesn't get any better than this. I can't stop watching it.

 

 

Tyree catch Seriously. How the hell did that happen? How did Eli Manning get away? But more importantly, how did David Tyree make a catch while getting clobbered, having the Tyree catchball knocked 3/4 of the way out of his hands, pinning the ball on his helmet with one hand, then clutching the ball with two hands just as he's about to hit the ground, then having his back bent all weird by Rodney Harrison's leg (which actually prevented the ball from spiking off the ground and possibly coming loose), and then fighting for the ball afterward and never once surrendering possession?

How?

Seriously, how?

I don't think a mother catches her newborn baby under the same circumstances.

Incredible.

Simply incredible.

 

 

I'm pretty much at a loss for words when it comes to describing the magnitude of this play, so I will use the words of a more loquacious observer....

About Sirk

Steve Sirk is an utter moron who has Cosmo Kramered his way into many big league press boxes over the years. He has covered the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer for the past decade, spent three years covering the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets, and has even landed a few assignments at Jacobs Field. He was persuaded by OBR bossman Barry McBride to write the decidedly un-journalistic "Cow Patties From Columbus" column for the Orange & Brown Report, which has now expanded to include "Cow Patties: The Blog."
