Caption This: The Catch - Voting Round

Alright, you know the deal. Except this time, it's a big deal. A big [site decorum]ing deal. Vote on the best caption possible from the choices below for, arguably, the greatest picture in San Francisco 49ers history.

As a side note... One caption that got a lot of Rec's was howtheyscored's suggestion;

Tecmo_super_bowl_nes_screenshot4_medium

via i37.photobucket.com

This is a unique caption, and gets a one-time exemption. The picture itself is a caption, so if you vote for this one, you are voting for the whole picture as the caption, not just "TOUCHDOWN! DWIGHT CLARK". Why did I do this? Because Tecmo Super Bowl rules, hands down.

So, without further delay... CAPTION THIS!!!

Also

The photoshoot caption deserves more votes.

My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.

bad news

I’ll be honest, I’m the reason the last option is on the ballot. If not for that one, the graphic (clearly created by a genius) would probably be winning.

Still, I think it fits...

Damn shame how the best caption is last in votes.

that's the one

regarding montana shouting “Minus 200!”?

I’m going to be honest for a moment. I don’t get it at all.

its a take on

the old game Jackpot. I wish I could explain it to you, but I can’t do it without it sounding confusing. Maybe someone else can explain the gist of the game for you, but basically it was a game I grew up playing with my buddies in the back yard and the comment brought back some good memories.

i get it now

after googling it and finding it this: http://www.fungameskidsplay.com/jackpotgame.htm

basically its like a version of 21 (the baseball game).

yes exactly

sorry I couldn’t explain it as good as that website did, been quite a few years since I last played haha.

If you have to explain it

then it is not worh the vote.. One of the grate things about this pictue is that if realy know what is going on then no silly stupid unexplaniable caption is needed.. Dang I didn’t get it when it first was presented and after your adept explantion,, I still don’t get it…

guess I am just not nerdy enough…..sorry..

The tyrannical rulership of the cowgirls had to come to an end.

The Steelers may have beat Dallas in the SB but could never keep them at bay. It took something more. More than steroids. More than a Steal Curtain. It took a team w/ no nickname to bring down the wolf in sheeps clothing.

Fans stuck in the 80's are lame. Respect the past, live in the now.
