A Festivus for the Rest of Us!

Well, it's December 23, so that means many a discontented person will be celebrating Festivus, the holiday created during a memorable episode of Seinfeld. Although not everyone believes it's so fictitious, as this Los Angeles Times article points out. A brief synopsis of the festivities, if you will.



This Day in History

1972- On this day 38 years ago, one of the most famous NFL plays occurred. And it happened during the AFC playoffs (remember when playoffs were in December and not mid January? Yeah, I don't either), between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Oakland Raiders. Yep, the Immaculate Reception. Steelers QB Terry Bradshaw evaded some pressure, heaved the ball downfield, where it appeared to be broken up by the late Jack Tatum, who delivered a big hit on Frenchy Fuqua. As the ball hurled toward the turf, Pittsburgh's Franco Harris caught the carrom and raced toward the end zone, scoring the game winning touchdown for the Steelers. NFL Films has dubbed it the greatest play of all time, so enjoy below, and have a strong and righteous Festivus!
