Talk:Hail Mary

Reference?

Is the name a reference to something? I mean, there's basically the same medal in Gears of War 3 (for a long-range Boomshot kill.) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 07:19, 3 December 2012 (EST)

In American football, when you throw a pass blindly into the end zone at long range with almost no time left, it's called a hail marry, which itself is a reference to the prayers in the Catholic religion. 07:48, 3 December 2012 (EST)

Thanks from a clueless European. =) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 23:02, 5 December 2012 (EST)
