Talk:Hail Mary (famous play)

Untitled
This page is very confusing for those unfamiliar with American football - I've never seen a game, and was very confused by the "The Play" section especially - eg, "took the snap, pump-faked left". I can't improve the article because I don't understand it! Someone who does, please help. 81.110.25.151 00:40, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Please read wiki article on American football for clarification on these terms. The terms are widely used in football writing and discussion, and are therefore "common" to football. Describing these terms in an article as specific as this one is not necessary. This article is about a specific catch, not football plays, descriptions thereof, methods, etc.209.115.232.65 22:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I made some pov changes to the "aftermath" section, and removed the uncited confession by Drew Pearson. Pearson in a recent interview denied this claim and said he never pushed illegally. The top section needs some minor editing as well, not just a Vikings pov.A.d.diamond 00:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Reason
It doesn't say why the pass is called a Hail Mary... ~ R.T.G 17:02, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
