    Maybe near #12 DAL at SF the Montana to Clark "the catch" game ?

    Oh and maybe the OAK in PIT "IMMACULATE DECEPTION" game ? The ball was deflected making it an incomplete pass -and- it did touch the ground making it incomplete -but-. no camera caught that.  Madden and the Raiders got robbed !

    Today they have way more camera angles plus Franco will not directly answer the question.  

    The Catch   #2 on the list.   Check.

    The Immaculate Reception didn't quite make the cut, it was like #12 or 14....still good guess.

    Wow the catch #2 some real Montana love.

    Speaking of which how about the CINCI/SF SB 16 game where during the final drive in the huddle Montana said to his teammates "look there's John Candy".......true story.

    .......* Well the John Candy bowl didn't make the top 100 but SF was in 12 many because of Joe Cool Montana.

    Bold are correct.  And how long have you been a patron of this board?  Surely you must know that the very first NFL Champions  hale from Akron...and yes, Kenosha also had a team.

    Highlighted are correct.   Racine and Mansfield did have teams....though the team in Mansfield did not carry the "Mansfield" name...they were called the Oorang Indians, named after a dog kennel.
