You know those dudes run a full 1 second quicker 40 time than normal fit people right? They had a really cool thing on SBNation about how ridiculously athletic NFL lineman actually are.

@@tjsanchez9984 I recall Refrigerator Perry being extremely fast for a dude that weighed 335 lbs and ran a 4.8 in the forty.

@@tjsanchez9984 Larry Allen my god, that man could move.

I think this is more about the sheer lack of athleticism from quarterbacks in general, than OLineman usually being in peak shape for their size.

cool tangent about Joe Valerio: through his career he had a catch rate of 100%, with all 4 career receptions going for touchdowns

poor guy

He was a perfectly competent QB, just not a mobile one.

And it's some of the funniest stuff I've ever heard.

You must not be from KC. 😂

@@SirLyonhart I liked "It's no longer football. It's two friends going for a jog."

Francis M.H. White Are u trying to rickroll us?

That is hilarious, although Bono was a better runner than passer. 1995 was a heartbreaking season. They just couldn't see their way to putting Rich Gannon back in. Gannon got his revenge as a Raider and I can't say I wasn't rooting for him a little bit. Bono hurt his hand that season, as I recall, and they brought him back for the postseason. He was terribad.

It could mean that that point in time inherently contains some sort of cosmic significance. Almost as if it were the temporal junction point for the entire space-time continuum. On the other hand, it could just be an amazing coincidence.

Well, let's see. Was there anything else important going on in early October 1995? Oh yeah, O.J. Simpson's trial, of course. It was even mentioned in the Mariners doc. Simpson was born in San Francisco in 1947 and drafted by the Buffalo Bills with the first overall pick in 1969. The Seattle Pilots played their only ever season that year, following which Bono's Chiefs would beat the Vikings for their first ever Super Bowl title (their last appearance until 50 years later) and the Pilots would move to Milwaukee and become the Brewers-who, of course, have yet to win a World Series. Remember also that the Kansas City Royals, amid Stuart Symington's, uh, _polite request,_ became the other team to make their debut in the American League in 1969, rooming with the Chiefs, who'd been there since '63, when Lamar Hunt had moved them from Dallas after a championship season. Simpson played his last season for the Bills in 1977, which overlapped with the Seattle Mariners' first season, as well as Dave Stieb's Blue Jays' (though Stieb wouldn't appear in Toronto until '79). He moved on to the 49ers, Bono's old team, where his retirement would precede that franchise's first Super Bowl victory by only two years. His subsequent induction into the Hall of Fame in 1985 came just after the Niners' second title run, both featuring Joe Montana, Bono's teammate with multiple NFL teams. Also in 1985, O.J. Simpson married Nicole Brown in February, and the 9-2-7-2 double play featuring Buck Martinez' broken leg happened in July. In June of 1994, Brown, having divorced Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman were murdered, and Simpson arrested as the primary suspect. In the ensuing months, a player strike would cut the 1994 and 1995 MLB seasons short, ending Ken Griffey's quest to beat Roger Maris, and the 49ers would contend for and win their 4th Super Bowl, this time with Steve Young at the helm; Montana went to the Chiefs in 1994, and Bono in 1995. The Falcons enter the picture here as well, because 1994 happened to be the season Deion Sanders went to the 49ers, becoming teammates with Bono briefly before moving to Dallas for a few seasons. Then the trial and acquittal happened. One of Simpson's lawyers, famously, was Robert Kardashian, at whose wedding to Kris Houghton in 1978 Simpson was the best man, and at whose house Simpson stayed to avoid talking to media members following the murders. Kris divorced Kardashian in 1991, retaining primary custody of their four children, and went on to have a couple more children with Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner; you may be familiar with the rest of that story. Kardashian broke off his relationship with Simpson in the late 1990s, when Bono was with the Chiefs and the Mariners were at their peak, and died in 2003. Bono bounced from the defending Super Bowl champion Packers to the Rams a season before they won it before finally landing with the Panthers and retiring in 1999. The 49ers, Chiefs, and Mariners all went through some lean years after that, with the Mariners' historic playoff drought kicking off following the 2001 season, the Chiefs' run of futility reaching 40 years before the famous game against the Jets helped Andy Reid and ex-49er Alex Smith land in Kansas City to flip the script, and the 49ers' streak of Lombardi-less seasons extending indefinitely into the great beyond. O.J. Simpson kept busy during this time as well, getting arrested twice in 2007 and 2008, the second of which resulted in a 33-year sentence that ended with Simpson being granted parole in 2017, mere months after the Chiefs drafted Patrick Mahomes-who, in week 17, finally ended the Chiefs' 30-year stretch without a win by a quarterback they drafted. Simpson's Bills also ended their own historic streak, making it to the playoffs following the 2017 season for the first time since 1999; you may remember them featuring in the punting video, having made one of the most cowardly decisions of all time in that season. 2020 proved to be a turning point for all three organizations, with the Chiefs and 49ers meeting for the Super Bowl in Miami in February, and the Chiefs emerging victorious for the first time in 50 years. Then COVID-19 struck, forcing MLB to shorten its season for the first time since 1995 and expand its playoff format to allow 8 teams in each league to compete; but in a cruel twist of fate, the Mariners missed the last American league wild card berth by 2 games, extending their drought another year while the Chiefs breezed by their competition en route to a second consecutive AFC title. In 2021, things mostly returned to normal, with the Mariners again missing the postseason by 2 games, Simpson's parole ending officially in December, and into 2022, the Chiefs and 49ers both bowing out in their respective conference championship games. And then, in 2022, for the first time in 21 years, the Mariners made the playoffs, bequeathing to the Sacramento Kings the longest active playoff drought in the Big Four leagues before they ended _theirs_ and gave the title to the aforementioned Jets. For each of those latter time blocks I could of course have interspersed various Kardashian/Jenner exploits in there, but I try to avoid discussing stuff like that too much.

@@dominicpancella3012 This is, bar none, my favorite comment I've ever read on an SB Nation video. Major kudos to you

@@dominicpancella3012 October 1995 was also the month that the team now known as the Cleveland Guardians lost to the Braves in the World series (as an Atlanta fan, I refuse to acknowledge the Braves won that series, only that Cleveland lost it). As we now know, that was due to the curse that has kept Cleveland without a World Series win since 1948. I'm still looking for the connection to O J and the Kardashians...

well done reditor

That makes more sense anyway, because whereas Allen would have been somewhere in the middle of the limb entanglement, Walker would have been lined up to the right side and able to escape more easily.

I wanted to see the whole play and run. I didn't care that it would take 15 minutes, lol

It's almost a crime against humanity to have this vid and not just run the damn play in full speed from beginning to end at least once or twice!

@@AJHart-eg1ys my thoughts exactly!

@@AJHart-eg1ys Yeah they get a little too cute sometimes. Just show the play at game speed, at least one time.

@@the.seagull.35 And does it really take more than 2 minutes to examine this play?

@@AJHart-eg1ys clearly you've never before seen a SB Nation video. Yes. It takes quite a few minutes to gather context for why a 20 second play is so breathtaking. It's the whole point of their Rewind series, and quite a few Jon Bois episodes (Pretty Good, Chart Party, Dorktown, etc) take several minutes to paint the picture of the importance of one single play that takes under a minute. And I love SB Nation for it.

Steve Bono was a heck of a QB he learned from Bill Walsh, George Seifert, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Mike Holmgrem, Mooch & more. Some of the Chiefs best seasons with Bono at the helm. Granted they didn't win in the postseason however going 13-3 & 1st place in the AFC is far cry from a waste of money.

Kids these days are spitting out analogies the second they come out the womb-it's damn scary, I tell you.

Even a lot of classical writers (like Greek classic) posed that the only writing skill that was unteachable was metaphor. You can practice, but yeah, it's a gift.

20 minutes and you never see the end of the play.

I think in the 4:3 you see a Cardinals helmet in the last frame which is great just because some one bothered to look like they cared after 10 seconds in the play.

@Smug Tomato (Full Game)1995 Chiefs @ Cardinals kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbllns6XrqvGlXU.html

The reason it looks that way is because Bono ran on the wrong side of his blocker. Valerio properly, though unnecessarily, slowed down to get into the correct position to block for Bono. We can see the whole play in much better resolution in this video (which is only 33 seconds long): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtlxhKecztnVh30.html Watch Valerio motion to Bono to run by while Valerio hangs back and moves left to block, if necessary.
