This one cleaned up quite nicely. Source was in pretty good shape to start with, but I still used Topaz to remove compression and noise, and upscaled and sharpened the picture. I then used Resolve to do color-correction on the video, which had the 49er uniforms looking pink rather than red. My thanks to Craig Stevens for providing the DVD files used for this project

I remember watching this vividly. Everyone was talking about McCallum’s injury at school the next day.

That was one of the worst-looking slo-mo replays ever. About as bad as Joe Theismann's broken leg in '85 against the Giants, which was also on MNF.

@waynestell2808 a few years after Bryant Young the DT for the 49ers had a similar break and it was also on Monday night football.

Football is a physical contact sport it's scary and violent and career's can end at anytime serious injuries are part of the game you never know when they are going to come and happen in any game!!!

I always loved when MNF started with the two football helmets went crashing into each other. I remember this game vividly…because of Napoleon McCallum’s gruesome leg injury. He almost had to have his leg amputated it was so gruesome. It happens at 1:21:21

I lived in SF that year, and the city really got behind that team. Really a well-rounded 49er group that was fun to watch.

Thank you for posting this. I watched this game live on channel 7. Richard Dent didn't last long, played his last down in the NFL here. This was the first regular season game for HoF Bryant Young. Jerry Rice breaks Jim Brown's record. Napoleon McCallum suffers a career ending injury. I still remember all the Cliff notes. Also the first regular season game of Tom Rathman in black & silver at candlestick.

No, Dent played for the Colts and Eagles after the 49ers....i wish he'd been able to have a good season in 1994...still cool having him on the 49ers.

Wow, I had totally forgotten that Rathman spent his last season as a Raider. Great short yardage fullback when he was with SF.

Man thank you Dave! This era of MNF with the helmets and Gifford's prologue and the players soundbytes is how I learned about the storylines of football....and how to get my homework done before it aired! Love these 49ers games keeping coming!!!!

@chrisuncleahmad Ай бұрын

Methinks the 49ers wanted Jerry Rice to get the TD record at home so they didn’t want to add that to the circus that was Young vs Montana next week

And with this game from 1994, we are tiptoeing to the outer edge of the "Volsky Zone of Interest" in NFL football. In the pantheon of worst injuries in pro football, the McCallum injury is in the uppermost tier, along with Joe Theismann's compound fracture. Both were so tough to experience the first time that I can never watch them again...or even think about them.

@davevolskysbackdoor5673 Ай бұрын

Yep, 94 is as far as I'll go, and only then for Niner games. Tim Krumrie's injury in SB XXIII with his leg rotating in mid-air makes me want to lose my lunch.

2001 Wk1 Ed McCaffery shattering tib fib fracture is pretty gross too.

@GeorgeDamon Ай бұрын

@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 Yes, I thought of the Krumrie injury when I mentioned Theismann and McCallum, but for me it's just a notch below the other two on the nausea scale. Interestingly, the Sports Illustrated issue covering SB XXIII has a photo of the play, just as Krumrie's leg is starting to blow out.

This is a marvelous treat. But, with some background info, also displays the paradoxes of KZbin when it comes to posting videos of vintage NFL games: - This video is allowed to be public. However, in week 2 of this same season when the 49ers plays the Chief, televised on Fox, that video survived the decades, was found this past year, and YT won't allow the posting of it due to copyright issues. How do I know that as a fact? I have that 49ers/Chief game on video, and in my attempt to post it on YT, was blocked. Same video was given to Dave Volsky's Back Door by me, and he experienced the same fate.

@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 And that's what irks me about KZbin/NFL and those copyright issues. They're always nitpicky whenever it comes to certain games. This game made their cut, but not the 49ers/Chiefs game from the following week.

@bloqk16 Ай бұрын

@@waynestell2808 There are several frustrating/annoying aspects of YT not allowing the posting of the 1994 game between the 49ers/Chiefs; which deprived the current online audiences to seeing a game that was the next best thing to a Super Bowl: - It was a *football game* and not an _entertainment spectacle._ - NFC vs AFC - Young vs Montana at QB - Summerall and Madden calling the televised game.

@davevolskysbackdoor5673 Ай бұрын

The reason that 94 49ers/Chiefs game gets blocked is because a condensed version of it is on the 'NFL Throwback' KZbin channel, which is an offshoot of the main NFL KZbin channel. I've come to find that if a decent amount of footage (10+ minutes) of a broadcast game is already posted on one of those two channels, it almost always will be blocked for viewing because of copyright if a regular schmo like myself tries to upload it.
