We all make mistakes.

Bill Buckner let the ball by him in the 1986 World Series, Steve Bartman interfered during the 2003 NLCS, Scott Norwood missed the field goal to win Super Bowl XXV, Chris Webber called timeout in the 1993 NCAA Championship game, and Barry Bonds took steroids and single-handedly put a blemish on the most heralded record of all time.

But all of those are very forgivable compared to what happened this afternoon.

On his daily radioshow for 1130-KFAN in Minneapolis, Dan "Common Man" Cole and his interim producer Brandon "Tenna-B" Mileski were having a debate on whether or not Joe Montana is the greatest quarterback of all-time.

After a fan writes in to say that the 49ers didn't have Jerry Rice during the 1989 Super Bowl (he was the MVP), they wondered whether Rice was on the 1981 championship team.

"The first one they won, they didn't have Rice, correct?" asked Tenna-B. "It was the Dwight Smith Immaculate Reception. Or was it Roger Craig?"

Are you kidding me? Even though I was born five years after that historical day in January 1982 on the frozen tundra of North Dakota, my first word was "Franco."

And by Franco, I don't mean João Franco, the former prime minister of Portugal. I mean Franco Harris, Hall of Fame Steelers halfback who, in the 1972 AFC playoffs, caught a deflected ball and ran it into the end zone for the game-winning touchdown, thus earning the name "Immaculate Reception" from Pittsburgh broadcasting legend Myron Cope.

In my professional, amateur journalism opinion, I believe that the play Tenna-B was referring to was called "The Catch," which by the way is much easier to say (and type) than Immaculate Reception.

If I have trouble remembering a given name of a play, I find if much simpler to say "The Catch." Like, "Did you see Brandon Stokley make that catch against the Bengals?" or "Did you see Greg Lewis make that catch against the 49ers?"

I would bet cash money that every reader would know which plays I was talking about.

Furthermore, perhaps Tenna-B remembered that it wasn't Roger Craig OR Dwight Smith who made "The Catch." Roger Craig was blocking for Joe Montana, and Dwight Smith was only four-years-old (and by Dwight Smith, I mean journeyman CB who has spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings, and Detroit Lions).

According to my professional, amateur journalism expertise, it was in fact Dwight Clark who caught the 20-yard Joe Montana TD pass with six seconds left in the NFC Championship game against the Dallas Cowboys.

If you go to his Fan-on-Demand  page, and listen to "10/20 Next to Nothing" at 37:35 and on, you can hear the immaculate misconception and how Common "reels in" his listeners to yank their chains.
