American Football fans.

Last time a Beckham made a catch like this, David pulled the moody dark-haired one from the Spice Girls.

In terms of all-time NFL catches, it ranks up there with the David Tyree catch in the Super Bowl - common denominator here - Eli Manning over-throwing a receiver both times. For dramatic, "The Catch" by Dwight Clark will always be No.1. But in terms of pure athletic ability, it beats the interception Brent Grimes had for Miami in Detroit a couple of weeks back.

Tekkers. Some skill and awareness of the sideline. Possibly the best catch the commentator had seen. Would it be in your top 3

And Cris Collinsworth would know - he was one of the best receivers of the 1980s. Got to work with him a few years back at a Tampa v Seattle Sunday night game and learned more about route options and receiver play in 20 minutes of watching film that I had in 20 years.

Ever considered coaching over here Paul? Sounds like you have loads you could pass on!
 
I did actually some coaching with the Crawley Raiders back in 1985! I went to cover a game they had for the first British magazine, Gridiron UK, and wound up in the second half coaching the offensive line! I stick to writing these days and working with the Buccaneers.
 
Christ, Gridiron UK that's memories flooding back, is it still going?
I remember going to watch the Rotherham Redskins back in the mid 80's when NFL first boomed, must have been 1,000 people there, most not having a clue wtf was going on :D
 
Don't think so - I am still friends with the original editor, Ross Biddiscombe, who will be more well known to this forum as author of "Golf on the Edge" and "Ryder Cup Revealed". He is a former Captain at Hampstead GC. The likes of Keith Webster, Mike Carlson and Nick Halling all wrote for Gridiron over the years. Mike also wrote with me for Extra Point during the 1990s too.

I've seen your coaching ideas. Best sticking to the writing or presenting but a face definitely made for radio
 
Wouldn't write off the Broncos or Seahawks just yet

Pats have a habit in recent years of not turning up for the big game
