#11: Steve Young Gets the Monkey Off His Back

In case you missed the introduction, for the month of September HMB is counting down the Top 30 Bay Area sports YouTube clips. It's pretty simple: one per day for the entire month, excluding the Oakland A's and Raiders because, well, we don't like them and from their attendance figures, it doesn't seem that many people do either.

Steve Young's celebration after the 1995 NFC Championship game with commentary by Pat Summerall and John Madden. Summerall desperately tries to keep the show rolling but Madden can't stop talking about the elated QB. The expression on Young's face, his hall of fame fist pump, combined with the momentous occasion put this video at number 11 here on HMB. Also, you have to love the desperate cameramen trying to follow Steve around when he's celebrating. One of them totally eats it too.

What makes this video all the better to watch is that we all know what happens in the following game, too.

A quick side note: Steve Young sat in the first row of a Giants game in late August and when they put him on the jumbotron the whole place went nuts. Makes you long for a time when San Francisco sports teams could make the postseason...
