Blog Day Afternoon: What to call THE CATCH?

I just can't come up with anything. Maybe it's because I haven't had coffee for hours. Maybe it's because there are only so many things that rhyme with "catch" or "reception" or "Tyree." Maybe I'm just not clever enough.

I can't figure out a catchy term/phrase/whatchamacallit for Eli Manning's toss to David Tyree in the fourth quarter. It was jaw-dropping, It was definitely immaculate. It's a combination of all sorts of superlatives. Some that may invoke the name of God, various other sacred things and Rue McClanahan.

So help me, help you's.

What do we call this thing? Somebody out there must have something. You all are much brainier than I am.

 

I have so far:

  • The Glendale Grab

  • M-T Zest! (M=Manning; T=Tyree)

  • Big Blue Velvet (silky smooth)

  • Eli-Yahoo! (he's a prophet in the IT age)

  • XL eye-to-eye

  • Eli Weasel
  • Blue Thunder
  • 42nd Treat
  • Levitra, because the Giants have ED (Eli+David)
  • The Great Eli-scape

  • The Jints Connection

See what I'm talking about? I need help. Hit me with your best shots, let's patent pending this thing, together. Also, who can beat my cutline on the second photo. I've got: "Who needs Gisele? Tyree and Eli know how to celebrate The Glendale Grab."

On to the best XLII blogs ... around!

Stu on This has an equation worth sharing: Imperfect QB + Imperfect team = Perfect Win. Maaaaakes sense.

Were the Patriots too arrogant? The Blog to End All Blogs thinks so. He has evidence, too, which always helps an argument.

BigPapiandManny's 3-4 Punch has only one phrase to call Super Bowl XLII: The Greatest Game I Ever Saw.

More to come...

How did Kay not come up with the most obvious name of all:

David Tyree's miraculous grab will forever be known as the DGC (David's goliath catch)

This small-time player stepped up with the biggest catch of his career. 

Way to go Tyree!

Oh, and please, Pats fans, we are interested in your opinion now that your team has stumbled in the biggest game in their franchise history.

Please give us something to read...

RedSox9,

Devilsenvy here... I am checking on you since you wanted me to chime in after the SB. What's up with your perfect Pats? See how you Pats fans speak up too soon? You guys deserve this stinging loss. Believe me, y'all deserve to eat some humble pie. Enjoy the long offseason as the biggest chumps to hype our TV screens.

Simple. The Catch That Saved The World.

Unlike Bobby Thompson's shot heard round the world, Tyree's catch possibly saved the entire earth from a fate worse than death. Thank you Giants. Never before have so many, owed so much, to so few.

This may be a bit of a stretch but how about:

The Elimmaculate Tyreeception

It's not just the catch. It is the entire play. How many people in the room said, "Wow, what a play?" I am not any Eli fan AT ALL (actually I cannot stand him or NY teams to state it lightly), but I still said it and was in so much awe of the whole entire play and timing of it that it took me a full five minutes to realize what I had done. (Damn it would have been nice to see a deep Brady to Welker or Moss connection at the end. Then no one would even remember it except for a few of the hardcores out there.)

Call it: "The Play"

take your pick -
- The Immaculate Reception 2.0
- The Reception that Ended Perfection
- something clever named after a magician, escape artist, illusionist
