As NFL mini camps come together and as we prepare to get football on the brain again... we still have some unfinished NFL business left to wrap up from last season. As a community we have to come up with a fitting name for the legendary Eli Manning to David Tyree pass play.
Sure the Steelers have the Immaculate Reception" and the 49ers have "The Catch" but what are we going to name the G-men's immortal play?
Here are a few suggestions off the top of our head...
"David Vs. Goliath" - a relative unknown (Tyree) and underdog (Giants) take down the undefeated champs
"The Tyreach" - aptly describes David's acrobatic catch
"The Tyree House of Horror" - what Patriots fans view the play as... with reference to the Simpsons which Tom Brady has been featured on
"Scrambled + Over Easy" - Since Pats fans were left with egg on their face not to mention the Egg Bowl has connotations to Eli's Mississippi roots how about "Scrambled and Over Easy" which aptly decribes both Eli's evasiveness as well as Tyrees Over the top acrobatic catch in which he carefully brought down the football
"Let's go to the Tape" - In reference to Bill B's Spygate issue
Which of the above do you like? Have any of your own suggestions? Share your own ideas in our comment section below.

i'm pretty sure it's already being called "The Helmet" and to the guy that said just call it the play, the Cal-Stanford kick return where the band is on the field is already called the play

Sports Guy has been calling it the "Helmet Catch" and that seems to have some sticking power. I like that.
