Anyone who was a football fan in the 80s...or hell....anytime since...knows whst “the catch” was I didn’t even know he was battling ALS I’m not a 49ers fan, but damn I loved that play... —————————————————— If the meek will inherit the earth, what will happen to us tigers? | ||

Sorry to hear this. That was a classic game. I was on the road driving and heard “the catch” on the radio. Even without seeing the play, it was electrifying. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

Sounds like he was a better person and than football player. A sad day for his family and friends. May he RIP. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Serenity now! |
Too young to go. I still remember watching 'the catch'. Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice. ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ | |||

As a kid growing up in the Bay Area in the 80s he was pretty big time. Only 61. Too young. https://www.google.com/amp/amp...nion-eddie-debartolo Sports illustrated did this story about a month ago about a gathering of the old teammates when it was clear Dwight was in really bad health | |||

As a Cowboys fan since the early 1970s, I can't say that I was a fan of Dwight Clark or Joe Dakota …. But, I would like to wish my thoughts and prayers to Mr. Clark's family, and hope that he is at peace now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice. | |||

A great football player and by accounts a better man. And he dated Ms. Universe, Shawn Weatherly.... RIP | |||

"The catch" made me a 49ers fan back in the day. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." -- George W. Bush | |||

 in 1982, Joe Montana connected with Dwight Clark in the back of the end zone at Candlestick Park for the 6-yard touchdown known as "The Catch," which sent the 49ers to a 28-27 win over the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Championship game and a spot in Super Bowl XVI. The play capped off an 89-yard drive that began with 4:54 on the clock. Montana connected with Clark with less than a minute left in the game. "I remember seeing the ball coming and thinking, 'Wow, that's pretty high.' " Clark said | |||

"The Catch" was captured by Walter Iooss. 1/500th of a second. I had the pleasure of working with Walter for almost 20 years. Including a SI Swimsuit Issue in the Cayman Islands. Walter was and still is class. So was Clark. | |||

Sports Illustrated published an insiders look at the reunion held in Montana for Clark back in April. One could only hope to work for and ender yourself to a person like Eddie DeBartolo Jr, besides assisting Clark's medical bills, also paid for everyone's bill to come up to Montana, stay and visit during Clark's last days. Remembering Dwight Clark: One Final 49ers Tribute Rich Eisen on his podcast today had Steve Mariucci as a guest and Mooch had a hard time keeping it together. http://podbay.fm/show/92664260...28218000?autostart=1 | |||
