Of course, what no one ever talks about is that No. 1 ("He did what??") was a signature terrible throw by Favre that by rights should have been intercepted. Had Freeman not made that fluky catch, it would have been yet another Favre interception and Sherman would have been the goat yet again.

All that talk by the commentators about Favre and Freeman "getting off" together sounds just weird nowadays. 😍

Nr. 1 was obvious.

Nr. 2 shouldn't be there.

Nr. 3 should be nr. 2. Playing like that, as an old-man back-up who had a whopping 4 receptions the entire year, after a night of heavy drinking and partying... That's impressive.

Edit, so I clicked the link just to see what the 5 were. Brooks 99yd TD has no business being mentioned as a ridiculous catch. It was a perfectly thrown ball that hit him in stride damn near between the numbers.

You're right, it would have been an incompletion. I meant to say the pass should have been an interception. It was on the inside shoulder of the defender -- not even between him and Freeman -- and he actually had a really good shot at it. While the play was a display of amazing awareness by Freeman, it was also a wretched throw by Favre and a surprisingly inept reaction by the defender. I am not in any way trying to take anything from Freeman. It was a brilliant play on his part. I just think it is interesting that, as far as I remember, Favre escaped all criticism on that play.

Noted, however, this topic is about ridiculous catches, not Favre escaping criticism. 🙂 And I agree, it was a poorly thrown ball, which in my opinion makes the catch more "ridiculous".

I saw Robert Brooks catch a Favre rocket ball for a touchdown against the Cows in '94 or '95. What made the catch spectacular was that he caught it with his fingertips and to this day; I still find it amazing that he snagged that ball with the velocity with which it traveled.

OK did I watch a completely different video? The one I watched had the WRs ranked:
1) Don Hutson (cold hard football facts said "you can have Jerry Rice, I'll take Don Hutson")
2) Sterling Sharpe
3) James Lofton
4) Donald Driver
5) Antonio Freeman
My man Donald Driver

Zero2Cool (6h) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (7h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (8h) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (13h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (13h) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
