[edit] History
I thought that the Hail Mary was invented at the University of Notre Dame? GregaR89 05:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

How exactly is a lateral pass similar to a Hail Mary pass? Shouldn't that be removed?
- Quite right. It's been removed. RADICALBENDER★ 20:46, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] List of Hail Marys in American football
I just added this new page and moved all of the historical examples from this article to that one, except for Stabauch (coined term) and Flutie (most famous). If the list grows large, I suggest reintroducing some of the more famous examples of the play back into this article, but under a new section. Joeljunk 18:41, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Removed "5" from "with 4 or wide receivers in the singleback formation" as that would result in an intelligible receiver. 5+1+1 leaves only 4 linemen.
[edit] Origins
I'm not picking one side or the other, but I do want to call into question the "Origins" section, specifically talking about the receiver being guilty of a "push" that would constitute pass interference. The wikipedia article on that particular catch talks about a "trip" but never mentions a "push". The language in the section on this page seems iffy to me. Anyone have any non-biased sources that can clear that up (specific rulings, player admissions [even well after the fact], anything like that)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whiteguy (talk • contribs) 05:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
