On the receiving end of one of my most memorable and enjoyed plays of my youth.. like it was yesterday. [grin1]

That and he almost.. I repeat almost erased "The Catch" from the pages of the football annals. His leaping spike also was notable.. great player..

Drew Pearson to join Cowboys’ Ring of Honor

The Dallas Cowboys will announce today that Drew Pearson will join the franchise’s Ring of Honor.

Matt Mosley of ESPN 103.3 reports that Pearson will be announced as the newest member of the Ring of Honor today. Charean Williams of the Star-Telegram reported early this month that Pearson would be inducted, but Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been coy about making the announcement official.

Pearson played his entire 11-year career with the Cowboys, from 1973 to 1983. He led the league with 870 receiving yards in 1977 and finished his career with 489 catches for 7,822 yards and 48 touchdowns. Pearson’s most famous play was reeling in a Hail Mary pass to win a 1975 playoff game against the Vikings.

Pearson will become the 18th person inducted into the Ring of Honor.

Contrary to the belief of some.. Wright screwed up on the play and FELL. What is how I seen the play then and still now. :-"

Here, let everyone decide for themselves.

BTW - this is the play that began over 3 decades of dumbass purple people whining and crying about reffing, conspiracy theories, and questioning God's love.

It's kind of like November 5, 1955 for Back to the Future fans - a date that will live in infamy.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20h) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20h) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (22h) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (22h) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break

wpr (15-Nov) : wow. That three different things for the kid.

Zero2Cool (15-Nov) : MarShawn Lloyd has appendicitis according to Matt LaFleur.

Zero2Cool (14-Nov) : He probably plays DB.
