MP3 of the Day

In a game where the lead shifted back and forth repeatedly, the 49ers took over the ball trailing 27-21 and marched down to the 6-yard line with 58 seconds left on the clock. When Joe Montana took the snap, the play was intended to be a pass to wide receiver Freddie Solomon, but at the last moment, Montana threw a very high pass to the back of the end zone. 49ers receiver Dwight Clark made a leaping grab from the back of the end zone with 51 seconds left in the game."The Catch," as it has become to be known, was the winning score in the January 10, 1982 NFC Championship American football game between the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers. A photograph of the catch, with Clark at the height of his leap and Everson Walls reaching out to try and block the ball, was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated the following week. Today we have Wait by THE CATCH from their album Get Cool.
