Especially after finding out T.O. did that because the "God is looking down on the cowboys star" motto for the Dallas Cowboys stadium he did as a nice gesture, then when Enmitt Smith and dallas took it as an insult (understandably) went back and slammed the football on the star Then T.O. said "Ok, you wanna be like that ok its on" then he did it again out of spite and Teague blindslided him
Side note about the 1999 season: That season the 4-12 Niners and 5-11 Falcons played each other on Monday Night Football at the end of the season. That has to be one of the worst combined records ever by two teams to play each other on Monday Night. But they couldn’t have predicted Jamal Anderson and Steve Young’s injuries that derailed both teams.
To be fair, before the season, it was one of the best teams of the decade vs the defending NFC Champions. It looked a lot better on paper. I bet the schedule makers thought the game would determine who would win the NFC West when they put it on prime time
@@roshango125ab For sure. After all, they had just met in the divisional round the previous season, so I'm sure it was surprising to see just how poorly both teams had been playing by the time that MNF game was played.

@@phoodiegamesOfficial Jaguar Gator 9 did a video talking about late season Monday Night Football matchups in the late 90’s and early 2000’s that featured teams that turned out not to be super relevant.

Be grateful at least you guys go to Superbowls. My cowboys can't even get to the conference games. Also be thankful Jerry Jones isn't your owner and GM
@@marcusmosiahgarveysr4310If Young doesn’t get hurt in 95, I think there’s a world where they do. Consider that Green Bay lost to Dallas in Dallas, and if San Francisco was the one seed, that matchup could’ve occurred in the divisional round. If so, I’m taking San Fran over Philly, Dallas, and Pittsburgh.
The 97 team was damn near as good as the 94 team, that year had superbowl written all over it. So many injuries that year derailed it even though they were 13-3
Shanahan would’ve been a better coach to finish the 90’s with; especially considering what happened in Denver. In retrospect, the Niners could’ve repeated in 95 if Steve Young doesn’t get injured in my opinion. As for Seifert, from a Seahawks fan, Hall of Very Good coaching career. He obviously inherited a lot of talent, but also got a really good resume out of it. Two championships, a further three conference championship game teams, and even with the really bad three year stint in Carolina, his win percentage is .648; about the same as Bill Belichick right now, and bested by only four coaches who coached as many games as he did. He also was their defensive coordinator for a couple championship teams beforehand, and counting those years, he was on their coaching staff for all but two of their 16 straight seasons of 10+ wins. Hall of Very Good.
@@fortynights1513oh, i love Seifert, but at that point in his career i wish he walked away like Bill did, give the young hungry coordinator the reins. but that was my 1st season watching, so as a 6 year old the only thing i knew was we won!!! only in hindsight do i make this statement. that alternate reality must be pretty sweet tho
@@coruscant100 what is it about basketball that causes nearly everyone involved to be jerks to nearly everyone else? It is like if you could have a football team with only wide receivers, you might get the frequency of personal melodrama you get with basketball. I especially do not click on any of the basketball beefs and have not for quite a while.
Basketball has players whove never lost in their lives. Since 1 player can really win at every level before the nba, they come up and experience losing for the first time in many cases. Theyve never dealt with playing on a bad team before. Theres more to it than that, but i think thats a huge factor in why. Theyve never really had to deal with adversity within the game(most guys) , so when it comes up its a brand new experience. And its more of sport where individual praise is constantly thrown around. Me first attitudes as well. But overall I wouldn't say all of them are Dicks lol.
When you see all this stuff on T.O, it baffles me how people still defend him and think Mcnabb is at all to blame on the Eagles. People are stupid as hell
Apparently, TO, as a child, lived across the street from his father. He did not know that it was his father. You know how he found out? He was flirting with the neighbor girls across the street when he was like 10 or 11 years old. So their hand was forced, because they were his SISTERS. I'm serious. THAT is how this man found out his absentee father, was in fact, his neighbor. Hitting on his sister, that he didn't know as his sister, and ergo, finding his father. Yes. I'm serious. So I can't condone a lot of what he's done, but MY GOODNESS that he accomplished what he did is nothing short of miraculous. What a demented childhood. I know a lot of these guys come from tough backgrounds with absentee fathers, and I feel for them. But the kind of psychological damage this situation would do to a child... So when T.O shouted "I love me some ME", it makes a lot of sense. His own father didn't, and his Mother was willing to expose him to that. How can you NOT be exceptionally insecure.
T.O. is absolutely a hall of fame worthy player who could do some absolutely amazing things. He was also just an absolute pain because of his outsized ego and seemed to be always looking for somebody to piss off and fight with. Dennis Rodman was a less problematic player.
My best guess is that it’ll be something from the early to mid 2000’s that happened to involve extensive media coverage. In the Vikings doc when he talked about Randy Moss’s pretend mooning from the 2004 playoffs, he made a comment about how the media climate in the 2000’s was unique. He gave examples of a couple wild things that happened in the 70’s that nobody cared about, and commented that if the mooning happened today, that the news cycle flips over every week and people would stop talking about it real quick. And like in the Falcons doc, he said “but that’s a story for another time”.
@@vuthearithkeary4704 He mocked the Ray Lewis dance in a game against the Ravens while in Philly following a TD score (this was the era of the receiver post TD celebration just for younger fan context this while not normal was an example of something some receivers seemed to just do at the time). This was after T.O purposefully told San Francisco he would not play for the Baltimore Ravens if they traded him, at a time when Baltimore could've used the future hall of famer (Baltimore struggled offensively that year yet still went 9-7 iirc) and his play was arguably the difference in the game. Ray wasn't a fan of that, “If you’re going to play a football game, don’t be a coward and wait until you make one play and do something,” Lewis said. “Just play football. His celebration doesn’t mean anything. What’s flattering is that he has me on his mind when he’s at home.” Apparently, dissing Ray wasn't an issue only with many of the Ravens players. Hines Ward of the Steelers took offense to the disrespect T.O showed Ray and the very next week the Steelers beat up on the Eagles at Heinz, while Hines took delight in twice mocking T.O's "Eagle Flap." I don't know of any specific beef following that off the top of my head honestly. But when you make the Steelers take revenge for the Ravens, their hated rivals, that's impressive and at least a minor footnote in T.O's legendary beef career.
Lots of recievers are primadonnas but don't get ridden out of town. The fact that he got dumped time after time says more about him than anything he says or does on the football field.
To your point, Jerry Rice was not always the easiest guy to get along with yet the 49ers never even considered trading him or letting him walk until he was way past his prime. Then you have guys like Lawrence Taylor who were just a tornado and again, Giants were never trading him. TO, who was immensely talented, just kept getting pushed out. I don't think he's a horrible guy but when you're as talented as him, Randy Moss falls into the same category, but teams would rather get rid of you then put up with you, then you are a huge problem. That's not saying others weren't also part of the problem but you are a major contributor to it.
@@trollthumpermicnastywitit2001 ??? I think you are a pretty confused human being. Your statements, if serious, are all absolutely wrong, like objectively no room for debate wrong. If that's what you believe, that says more about you and your complete lack of understanding of the world around you then anything in actual reality.
T.O...... One of the few people where you could build an entire season with multiple episodes of BEEF! Beef with Jeff Garcia, Mariucci, Donovan Mcnabb. Andy Reid, Eagles, Tony Romo, Jerry Jones, H.O.F. and Skip Bayless.
i read TO's book awhile ago, his origin story stems from - sleeping with his mouth open on a team bus ride and waking up from having a teammate spit a loogie in his mouth and everyone laughing at him. forget if it was in middle or high school but he was a scrawny uncoordinated unconfident kid at the time, and became an absolute beast.
During the Sit-Up Work stoppage of 2005, I remember telling a friend that the Eagles should offer to trade TO to the Cardinals straight up for a then second year WR named Larry Fitzgerald. I thought the kid might be good and the Cardinals would welcome a 1200 yd receiver.
Old 49er fan here. This video brings a lot of mixed feelings, memories. Coach Mariucci did inherit a roster with some great stars. But it was an aged roster and the wheels fell apart. Terrel Owens early on showed promise. He'd of course follow through and become a true star. There is no doubt Owens was an amazing WR. One of the best ever in that position. He stayed pretty healthy, he balled great for several teams. He was a competitor. But man was he a headache for every team he was on. Even throwing his own QBs under the bus.
Also, very true. Even today with the game setting new passing records and an extra game a year, his numbers are still godly by any measure, and seemingly won't ever be touched. I dont say never will be touched, because the leagues all about changing rules to water down the game, so probably one day
Those two and Prism are literally the only things this channel has released in over three months. I really wish they'd bring back Untitled and Collapse, there were still plenty of good subjects for those.
@@mrcnub Collapse is what I come back to the channel for over and over. Beef history honestly blurs after awhile because it becomes which NBA player pissed in which NBA player/coach/executives coffee and then had the gall to be more upset then when the other complained about it.
I was at that bears game. That the 49ers lost after leading most of the game. They where up by 24 in the 4th i think and the bears came back to win. Incredible game
How bout for a episode- "How Tobias Harris and his Uncle or Dad was it? convinced us and Philly how he should get paid so much. And how it's gone since then".
TO had beef with almost everyone. Even the Pro Football Hall of fame committee to tge point that he didn't even show up to his own Hall of fame induction ceremony and decided to have it at his old High school
TO is great but let his antics overshadow his game and that should NEVER happen as a player in sports. Such a force and people only remember a couple celebrations, him working out in his driveway like a tool, and beefing with mcnab for pretty much no reason. Shame
I love TO but to me, he was just like any receiver in that he’s happiest when he’s the reason why the teams wins and annoyed when he’s not the focal point of the offense. That’s just how a lot of receivers are wired, for better or worse.
Exactly! There's so many Collapse videos they can do! The Patriots' fall, how the Redskins were screwed by Snyder, the Broncos in a neverending rebuild, and so much more. Where are THOSE/?
@@jayburditt9184I totally get what you are saying. If you get too preoccupied with clicks, then you focus on what gets the most attention the expense of everything else you make.
Ending with saying that “this was just who TO is” without mentioning that mooch doesn’t coach anymore only because he had locker room issues no matter where he coached is kinda weird
Owens was never wrong about Much. Much was one of the most embarrassing examples of a NFL head coach that never gets criticized about how bad of coach he is.
Just when I thought 49ers were going to pay their best WR since TO, they gave it to the Zion Williamson of wideouts (Deebo) and will let father and son reunite (Aiyuk and Tomlin). Hope I'm wrong 🤞🏼
Sad…TO was a great player and how he played in the Super Bowl with a broken leg against the Patriots was amazing…but I wish he would move on from these beefs since it takes away what he did on the field.
Never understood why they hired Marriucci in the first place, he coached one year at Cal and went 6-6, at no point ever under his coaching did I think they were going to win a. Title with him… as for TO, the greatest toxic teammate ever, you need your QB thrown under bus, TO is your man…
The Star Celebration remains one of the funniest moments in NFL history.
And no other team was more deserving of such a hilariously disrespectful display.

@MrOctober44 , when you retire with the second most receiving yards and are tied for the second most receiving touchdowns in NFL history(again, when he retired), the media should put you in first ballot. Whoever used your logic should have their vote taken away.
@@terencejones22, there were numerous teammates who considered him a distraction, but I don't think any of them doubted his effort on the field.
He did come back like a month early from a broken leg and put on a show in the Superbowl.
I really thought the Niners were going to win another SB after 94.
As a long time 49ers fan I'm hurt
Be grateful at least you guys go to Superbowls. My cowboys can't even get to the conference games. Also be thankful Jerry Jones isn't your owner and GM
@@enriquegarza3127
I never said anything about being a 49ers fan.
@@marcusmosiahgarveysr4310If Young doesn’t get hurt in 95, I think there’s a world where they do.
Consider that Green Bay lost to Dallas in Dallas, and if San Francisco was the one seed, that matchup could’ve occurred in the divisional round.
If so, I’m taking San Fran over Philly, Dallas, and Pittsburgh.
The 97 team was damn near as good as the 94 team, that year had superbowl written all over it. So many injuries that year derailed it even though they were 13-3
6:11 SKIUUUUUP!
i wish i lived in a timeline where Seifert retired after the last superbowl win, and we kept Mike Shanahan as our HC
Shanahan would’ve been a better coach to finish the 90’s with; especially considering what happened in Denver.
In retrospect, the Niners could’ve repeated in 95 if Steve Young doesn’t get injured in my opinion.
As for Seifert, from a Seahawks fan, Hall of Very Good coaching career.
He obviously inherited a lot of talent, but also got a really good resume out of it.
Two championships, a further three conference championship game teams, and even with the really bad three year stint in Carolina, his win percentage is .648; about the same as Bill Belichick right now, and bested by only four coaches who coached as many games as he did.
He also was their defensive coordinator for a couple championship teams beforehand, and counting those years, he was on their coaching staff for all but two of their 16 straight seasons of 10+ wins.
Hall of Very Good.
@@fortynights1513oh, i love Seifert, but at that point in his career i wish he walked away like Bill did, give the young hungry coordinator the reins. but that was my 1st season watching, so as a 6 year old the only thing i knew was we won!!! only in hindsight do i make this statement. that alternate reality must be pretty sweet tho
Nothing to do with the video but I severely miss the jersey colors the 49ers had in the early 2000s
There are misunderstood NFL receivers who were labeled divas during their career.
There was no misunderstanding about TO.
Can we please get more Collapse videos already? Seriously, it seems to be nothing but Beef History and Rewinders now. Where's the rest of the content?
I could live without another Beef video, ever.
@@charlesclark3840Yeah, I'm pretty much over Beef History. Unless it's Thomas vs Jordan, then I'm gonna pass on it.
@@coruscant100 what is it about basketball that causes nearly everyone involved to be jerks to nearly everyone else? It is like if you could have a football team with only wide receivers, you might get the frequency of personal melodrama you get with basketball. I especially do not click on any of the basketball beefs and have not for quite a while.
Basketball has players whove never lost in their lives. Since 1 player can really win at every level before the nba, they come up and experience losing for the first time in many cases. Theyve never dealt with playing on a bad team before. Theres more to it than that, but i think thats a huge factor in why. Theyve never really had to deal with adversity within the game(most guys) , so when it comes up its a brand new experience. And its more of sport where individual praise is constantly thrown around. Me first attitudes as well. But overall I wouldn't say all of them are Dicks lol.
“When you always play the victim, you can justify being a terrible person” sums up TO to a tee
Welcome back Will, long overdue I might add!
Chase Utley vs the Mets would be a great one
New beef history ideas:
- MMA scene vs Politicians
- Indycar split
7:09 I’ve been to one Bears game. This is the one. The “oh wait that just happened” with Mike Brown and a walk off Bobble-6
When you see all this stuff on T.O, it baffles me how people still defend him and think Mcnabb is at all to blame on the Eagles. People are stupid as hell
Apparently, TO, as a child, lived across the street from his father. He did not know that it was his father. You know how he found out?
He was flirting with the neighbor girls across the street when he was like 10 or 11 years old. So their hand was forced, because they were his SISTERS. I'm serious. THAT is how this man found out his absentee father, was in fact, his neighbor. Hitting on his sister, that he didn't know as his sister, and ergo, finding his father. Yes. I'm serious.
So I can't condone a lot of what he's done, but MY GOODNESS that he accomplished what he did is nothing short of miraculous. What a demented childhood. I know a lot of these guys come from tough backgrounds with absentee fathers, and I feel for them. But the kind of psychological damage this situation would do to a child...
So when T.O shouted "I love me some ME", it makes a lot of sense. His own father didn't, and his Mother was willing to expose him to that. How can you NOT be exceptionally insecure.
T.O. is absolutely a hall of fame worthy player who could do some absolutely amazing things. He was also just an absolute pain because of his outsized ego and seemed to be always looking for somebody to piss off and fight with.
Dennis Rodman was a less problematic player.
11:06 the Dallas beef.... "man, Tony and Jason stayed up till 2 in the morning in Tony's hotel room drawing up plays without me."
I'm in need of a new Bois vid
My best guess is that it’ll be something from the early to mid 2000’s that happened to involve extensive media coverage.
In the Vikings doc when he talked about Randy Moss’s pretend mooning from the 2004 playoffs, he made a comment about how the media climate in the 2000’s was unique.
He gave examples of a couple wild things that happened in the 70’s that nobody cared about, and commented that if the mooning happened today, that the news cycle flips over every week and people would stop talking about it real quick.
And like in the Falcons doc, he said “but that’s a story for another time”.
What's the music y'all use for Beef videos? I love the xylophone or whatever
Jeff Garcia. Donovan McNabb. Ray Lewis. Tony Romo and Jason Witten. Maybe the guy just liked having an enemy (or three) to motivate himself.
What’s ray lewis’s equation in this?
@@vuthearithkeary4704 He mocked the Ray Lewis dance in a game against the Ravens while in Philly following a TD score (this was the era of the receiver post TD celebration just for younger fan context this while not normal was an example of something some receivers seemed to just do at the time). This was after T.O purposefully told San Francisco he would not play for the Baltimore Ravens if they traded him, at a time when Baltimore could've used the future hall of famer (Baltimore struggled offensively that year yet still went 9-7 iirc) and his play was arguably the difference in the game. Ray wasn't a fan of that, “If you’re going to play a football game, don’t be a coward and wait until you make one play and do something,” Lewis said. “Just play football. His celebration doesn’t mean anything. What’s flattering is that he has me on his mind when he’s at home.” Apparently, dissing Ray wasn't an issue only with many of the Ravens players. Hines Ward of the Steelers took offense to the disrespect T.O showed Ray and the very next week the Steelers beat up on the Eagles at Heinz, while Hines took delight in twice mocking T.O's "Eagle Flap."
I don't know of any specific beef following that off the top of my head honestly. But when you make the Steelers take revenge for the Ravens, their hated rivals, that's impressive and at least a minor footnote in T.O's legendary beef career.
Could’ve sworn you drop this video already.
TO was never in trouble with the law, beat a woman, got DUIs, or a murderer. Don't forget that
Lots of recievers are primadonnas but don't get ridden out of town. The fact that he got dumped time after time says more about him than anything he says or does on the football field.
To your point, Jerry Rice was not always the easiest guy to get along with yet the 49ers never even considered trading him or letting him walk until he was way past his prime. Then you have guys like Lawrence Taylor who were just a tornado and again, Giants were never trading him. TO, who was immensely talented, just kept getting pushed out. I don't think he's a horrible guy but when you're as talented as him, Randy Moss falls into the same category, but teams would rather get rid of you then put up with you, then you are a huge problem. That's not saying others weren't also part of the problem but you are a major contributor to it.
@@jamesmarshall6619it’s an old saying we will put up with your drama as long as your producing
They hated him and maligned him and cheated him but still used him… tells you everything you need to know and is representatively symbolic societally.
@@trollthumpermicnastywitit2001 ??? I think you are a pretty confused human being. Your statements, if serious, are all absolutely wrong, like objectively no room for debate wrong. If that's what you believe, that says more about you and your complete lack of understanding of the world around you then anything in actual reality.
T.O...... One of the few people where you could build an entire season with multiple episodes of BEEF! Beef with Jeff Garcia, Mariucci, Donovan Mcnabb. Andy Reid, Eagles, Tony Romo, Jerry Jones, H.O.F. and Skip Bayless.
I'm siding with T.O. with any beef against Skip Bayless. No questions asked.
TO with hair is crazy lol
11:07 who is to spraying with water here?
“As 28 year old rookie Jeff Garcia…” I had to rewind that to make sure I heard it right.
Oh yeah and that due in part to playing in the CFL for a couple of years before making it in the NFL.
Can y'all do more UFC/MMA videos
i read TO's book awhile ago, his origin story stems from - sleeping with his mouth open on a team bus ride and waking up from having a teammate spit a loogie in his mouth and everyone laughing at him. forget if it was in middle or high school but he was a scrawny uncoordinated unconfident kid at the time, and became an absolute beast.
You did a one about McNabb and Owens but Jeff Garcia endured Owens the longest for five years from 99 to 03.
During the Sit-Up Work stoppage of 2005, I remember telling a friend that the Eagles should offer to trade TO to the Cardinals straight up for a then second year WR named Larry Fitzgerald. I thought the kid might be good and the Cardinals would welcome a 1200 yd receiver.
Never thought I be so early to a beef video. 💀💀💀💀 8 minutes ago
T.O beef compilation otw ?
Finally. Some more football beef
6:45 That was too perfect lol
Old 49er fan here. This video brings a lot of mixed feelings, memories. Coach Mariucci did inherit a roster with some great stars. But it was an aged roster and the wheels fell apart. Terrel Owens early on showed promise. He'd of course follow through and become a true star.
There is no doubt Owens was an amazing WR. One of the best ever in that position. He stayed pretty healthy, he balled great for several teams. He was a competitor. But man was he a headache for every team he was on. Even throwing his own QBs under the bus.
I respect the hell out of Jerry Rice but that's quite a humblebrag - I guess my longevity and success hasn't allowed the others to develop.
Also, very true. Even today with the game setting new passing records and an extra game a year, his numbers are still godly by any measure, and seemingly won't ever be touched. I dont say never will be touched, because the leagues all about changing rules to water down the game, so probably one day
Every place he went, people regretted it
KIDS WAKE UP SECRET BASE JUST POSTED!!
OK, we're close this time... what made Donovan McNabb finish his career Untitled?
Why does it feel like the only series y’all still do is beef history and rewinds?
Those two and Prism are literally the only things this channel has released in over three months.
I really wish they'd bring back Untitled and Collapse, there were still plenty of good subjects for those.
@@mrcnub Collapse is what I come back to the channel for over and over. Beef history honestly blurs after awhile because it becomes which NBA player pissed in which NBA player/coach/executives coffee and then had the gall to be more upset then when the other complained about it.
Please do a beef history of Jermaine Oneal and Artest also I think a Drake vs. Kendrick would be cool but I know it’s not sports related
Great video
As a long time niner fan, TO wasnt supposed to be Rice's successor, that was supposed to be JJ Stokes.
I really appreciate the mini Dune references.
I was at that bears game. That the 49ers lost after leading most of the game. They where up by 24 in the 4th i think and the bears came back to win. Incredible game
How bout for a episode- "How Tobias Harris and his Uncle or Dad was it? convinced us and Philly how he should get paid so much. And how it's gone since then".
Mike Brown caught that bobbled pass and returned it for the win, I was at that game!
🐻 Dahn
Basically this guy managed to screw up three of the most iconic franchises in NFL history as talented as he was
Jerry Rice’s quote summarizes this whole video
I would like to see the beef history between Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau.
TO had beef with almost everyone. Even the Pro Football Hall of fame committee to tge point that he didn't even show up to his own Hall of fame induction ceremony and decided to have it at his old High school
TO is great but let his antics overshadow his game and that should NEVER happen as a player in sports. Such a force and people only remember a couple celebrations, him working out in his driveway like a tool, and beefing with mcnab for pretty much no reason. Shame
Before there was Antonio Brown, there was Terrell Owens.
Seifert went to Carolina and wasn't with a flying F
I love TO but to me, he was just like any receiver in that he’s happiest when he’s the reason why the teams wins and annoyed when he’s not the focal point of the offense. That’s just how a lot of receivers are wired, for better or worse.
Anytime I think of a diva tag attached to a WR, i compare them to T.O. He's the poster boy.
Worst teammate ever.
Mariucci always was a loser. That's usually a common thread with coaches who want to play the game "right".
True. Mariucci is now retired and often forgotten, while Terrell Owens is in the Hall Of Fame.
Thank you
Ya’ll went suuuuuper easy on TO’s shenanigans 😂
28 year old rookie Jeff Garcia 😭😭😭😭
Can we stop with so many Beef History and Rewind episodes. Bring back Collapse or Untitled!
Exactly! There's so many Collapse videos they can do! The Patriots' fall, how the Redskins were screwed by Snyder, the Broncos in a neverending rebuild, and so much more. Where are THOSE/?
uhhh what are you even complaining about? It's all about Beef History and Rewinds
@@KB-313 I'm not sure I understand your comment
@@jayburditt9184I totally get what you are saying.
If you get too preoccupied with clicks, then you focus on what gets the most attention the expense of everything else you make.
Ending with saying that “this was just who TO is” without mentioning that mooch doesn’t coach anymore only because he had locker room issues no matter where he coached is kinda weird
The craziest thing to me is TO could of been even better if he didn’t have beef with anyone
T.O. was easily one of the greatest WR's in NFL history...and was essentially let go from 3 different teams, while he was still in his prime 😐
T.O had a problem with everybody.
Owens was never wrong about Much. Much was one of the most embarrassing examples of a NFL head coach that never gets criticized about how bad of coach he is.
Sucks the 49ers got rid of Mooch, cuz I think they did in order to try and keep TO but they had to trade him anyway.
How did TO even catch a ball 🏈 with that crazy eye 👁️
Just when I thought 49ers were going to pay their best WR since TO, they gave it to the Zion Williamson of wideouts (Deebo) and will let father and son reunite (Aiyuk and Tomlin). Hope I'm wrong 🤞🏼
Do Calvin Johnson vs ford family, Steph curry wife vs female reporter, Jordan vs Pippin
When SB posts an interesting video and it’s one of their good narrators 👏
Sad…TO was a great player and how he played in the Super Bowl with a broken leg against the Patriots was amazing…but I wish he would move on from these beefs since it takes away what he did on the field.
Skip Bayless had the perfect nickname for him - Team Obliterator.
Moochie was out of his depth however.
Late 90s early 00s..when San Francisco was a beautiful city.
3:35 Roll Tide
Never understood why they hired Marriucci in the first place, he coached one year at Cal and went 6-6, at no point ever under his coaching did I think they were going to win a. Title with him… as for TO, the greatest toxic teammate ever, you need your QB thrown under bus, TO is your man…
TO is probably the least like-able HOF player ever just a big baby with a narcissistic attitude.
The origin story of a villain: Terrell Owens
