( darya ) nope.. it was dubbed "the catch" and dwight clark will forever be loved and remembered for it. dwight clark is in the bay area sports hall of fame for that play.. and joe montana.. he didn't do so bad either.. the football hall of fame found some room for him a long time ago. ( darya )and the hall of fame game is actually tonight.. it's bears versus ravens.. even if you don't care about those teams.. a lot of fans watch anyway because.. it's football!!! they just can't wait for any football and our guys are still in practice mode.. the 49ers and raiders play their first games next week

he also is a trustee of the dwight d. eisenhower society, which is a nonprofit friends group for the eisenhower national historic site here at gettysburg and he's been researching and writing a book on thizen hours' experiences during the great war. from his graduation from 1915 to his years here at camp coach. . so welcome to paul and he will talk about the early days of command for captain eisenhower. -- [applause] >> thank you, tony and good morning, everyone. the first two months of the new year of 1918 find captain dwight d. eisenhower at grant hall, the army service school at fort leavenworth, kansas. about 150 miles east of his parents' modest home in abilene. ike had managed to spend a quite holiday at home with his mother, father, younger brothers and a new sisters-in-law before returning to duty at fort leavenworth immediately after new year's day. since mid december 1917 he had been detailed as an instructor of second divisional lue tonalts who now required three months of tractal military training to require t

. >>> it was a gathering of family and friends to honored dwight. rob was there and cheers details of what those closest to him or same. >> reporter: on this great day in san francisco, 49er teammates , coaches and family and friends gathered to remember dwight clark, the football legend who considered himself a regular guy. >> he had great charisma, good looks and the southern drawl. people loved being around him. he loved being around them.>> clark was beloved. his iconic championship winning touchdown reception with joe montana sealed his status as a true football hero. he is known as the catch. he would say to me, you know, they do not call it the flow. [ laughter ]>> reporter: catch may have defined him and those say it dito defining who he was as a person. >> dwight clark was loyal u met you had known him your entire life. >> reporter: the biggest fan was his niece. >> the most important words he said was when he asked me if i knew what hobbled met. i would say yes. >> he was more of a kid rather than dad. that was the best part. >> reporter:

als took so much from dwight, but it couldn't break his spirit, and it didn't dare touch his heart andle. don't cry because it's over. smile because it happened. >> he will be missed. >>> apparently there's not much to celebrate in cleveland these days. the cavaliers lost to the warriors in the nba finals again, and lebron james skipped town from the lakers. but this is a little ridiculous. following a report in which tristan thompson supposedly got into an altercation with draymond green, a fan is organizing a parade to honor thompson. so far more than 4,000 female plan to attend. green has weighed in saying the reports aren't accurate, but they should, quote, keep the parade. that city won't have any for a while. yeah. this is almost as absurd. look at marcos baghdadi. he falls down during a rally. and his reaction is a little overdone. it's the racquet's fault, larry, of course. or the bench's tt racquet's th that did it. in either case, can you say epic tantrum? and that is how we're going wrap sports today. when your kids behave badly, look at that guy. that's what it looks like.
