Here, I think you need some extra tinfoil LiaLia.

Let's see the instant replay!

LiaLia: Ah yes, it mentions football in the headline, so of course it gets greenlighted.

Sorry, but it's a trend I've noticed for awhile.


Hey, at least there was no mention of spiking the ball.

How would the headline go if he had NOT caught the baby and it instead got smeared on the concrete?

Did he do the Icky Shuffle?

ScienceBoy: How would the headline go if he had NOT caught the baby and it instead got smeared on the concrete?


Would it hit as fast, or faster than a pregnant woman falling from an airplane??

// Excessive celebration is 15 yards

ScienceBoy: How would the headline go if he had NOT caught the baby and it instead got smeared on the concrete?

It'd probably read like a Detroit Lions box score somehow

Here's footage (pops) of how it happened. Pretty amazing...

Glad they deleted "however" from that headline... awkward city.

OJ's back in Naked Gun 4?

Saw the video on Good Morning America this morning. Honestly, 'like a football' isn't entirly accurate. More 'like a baby falling from a building'.

/nobody tackled him afterwords

Beat me to the spiking comment.

Meh - he was offsides....

The British did it first and with considerably more panache.


/footballer.
//heh

anyone got a link to the vid?

"It's just a miracle, a miracle," Vasques said. "Especially in the holidays, now. It was a beautiful thing."

Bill O'Reilly is going to eat that baby.

then granny came along...

ScienceBoy: How would the headline go if he had NOT caught the baby and it instead got smeared on the concrete?

I would say SAD. Someone really trying to save a baby and not making it is still a noble effort, even if it fails. I saw the video for this on the news this morning. It was cool as shiat. I admit, the first thing I thought after "holy crap, I can't believe that really worked" was the spiking joke.

Hey - if it would have been Steve Smith he would have at least changed the diaper.

/anyone got a pic of that btw?

Man catches baby like a football . . . a football dropped straight down three stories, not really 'thrown' or anything . . . but he did use both hands, kind of like you would in football . . . it was definitely more football-like, than say, lacrosse-like because he didn't use a little net thingy attached to a stick.

OK, it was nothing like football.

the guy is catcher on a baseball team.

Headso
So, did she make the extra point?

You buttonhooked me. I didn't know you were gonna buttonhook me.

Well deserved Hero tag. Well done.

This reminds me of when Terrell Owens got PUNK'D. Lawyer says to T.O. "Are you qualified to help these people? Do you have any medical training???" T.O. says "...only thing I'm trained ta do is catch fuhwtbawls". Hilarious.

Did he sign the baby to increase future collectability...?

/amateur

Clavis,

Whatever became of Icky?

Give that man a job with the Packers. They could use some receivers.

<insert New York Jets joke here>

ericjohnson0: Clavis,

Whatever became of Icky?

He works in Cincy for a company that retains lawyers for middle to low income families. Now if the guy had dropped the pass Icky might have been called.

Irascible

I didn't read the article that you linked to, but I did look at the photos. It's the way I read Playboy, but alas, I digress...

Anyway, the caption under the Rugby Player's photo reads, " Mike Webber caught the baby dropped from the first floor."

Now, at the risk of sounding like a complete and utter bastard, it was the first floor. That doesn't sound too freakin' impressive to me.

*sniff, sniff*
That just warms the cockle of my heart and I've got the vapors.

I farking hate that rule- "Unsportsmanlike conduct"... pft!

Now, at the risk of sounding like a complete and utter bastard, it was the first floor.

First floor being different from the ground floor, just in case that's the source of your confusion. Otherwise, she could have probably just handed it to him, to much lesser visual effect.

Icky Shuffle is overrated



Sammy Winder and the Mississippi Mud Walk is where it's at.

Sorry Submitter

But excessive celebration results in a 15 yd. - Unsportman-Like Conduct penalty.

/ Plus a 3 minute minor.

Even though he's a double murderer, OJ spiking the baby in the Untouchables scene in Naked Gun is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

SHAAAAAAAAving cream, be nice and clean....

Do you think the mother should have been chanrged with endangering a child since she was enventually rescued? I think I would only drop my baby from a third story window only after the flames started whipping at my feet. I drop from that height could have killed that baby wether it was caught or not.

/just saying

wow, that was a lot of typos

So it was like a fair catch on a punt/kickoff?

I thought it was inappropriate to go for the extra point.

Russkie,

from the sounds of ht article thats pretty much how it was, fire nipping at her door.

/penalty to be assessed on the kickoff
