Longest Reception

We are currently voting on whether or not to limit the longest reception and run. The game has a toggle that allows all receptions or runs to be capped at the players actual NFL longest. The TFL plays with that toggle, we are voting if we should change that.

As of 3/31/09 at 1:30pm (GMT... which is also the time used aboard the International Space Station - except for when an American Shuttle visits than the ISS changes time to match the shuttles "Mission Elapsed Time") where was I?.... oh yeah, as of this morning the voting on whether or not to cap the longest run and reception was hot and heavy however one person decided to vote for the reception poll... but not in the run poll. Its worth noting that they are seperate... you can cap longest reception and not cap longest run, and vice versa.

One person has actually voted to cap longest run, but not longest reception. Crazy right? Who would do such a thing? Me.

That's right. I can picture in my head any scrub receiver getting behind the defence and taking it all the way. But any generic runner doing the same thing just isn't something I am capable of picturing in my head.

For those NFL history buffs perhaps you can tell me what the following receivers all have in common:

Bernard Berrian
Marc Boerigter
Tony Martin
Mike Quick

Aside from being average NFL receivers, they are 4 of the 10 men to have caught a 99 yard pass in the NFL.

Meanwhile... only rusher to ever accomplish the same feat is Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett.
