With Christmas on the way, it brings with it a onetime special event that lasts a whole 24 hours. And when I say special event, I mean the most overhyped movie I have ever seen. In case you haven’t guessed, I am talking about the 24-hour marathon of A Christmas Story. Every year, I go to my uncle’s house for a Christmas Eve party, and every year I know that I will be leaving at 8pm. Why? Well because everyone in my family loves that movie and I can’t bear to watch it. I’m not saying it’s a bad movie. It’s okay, but I just don’t see what’s so great about it. and for that matter what makes any classic great.

That was it. He just jumped up and caught it. But this play is regarded as one of the best catches of all time. By today’s standards, “the catch” was just an ordinary catch. And the reason it was put at number two is what really bothered me. Several people said, “it’s the catch, of course it should be high up on the list.” That was their reason.

There have been thousands of better catches since then. Go watch Santonio Holmes catch in the Steelers super bowl. Same situation, but much more difficult of a play. People need to stop living in the past.
