December 18, 2022. The Patriots, tied, attempted a desperation lateral play, and for the 3rd time since 2000, it results in a touchdown... for their opponents, the raiders, who score the only walk off interception TD off a lateral since 2000, and probably the only in NFL history.
At 4:40, if I'm Rivers I know if i pick that ball up, I'm gonna get creamed. If I don't pick it up, I'm going to have to try and tackle a 275 lb d-end. No, if I'm Rivers, I'm kicking that ball, drawing a flag, and going the fuck home.
i agree, I'd rather lose a game than have a slightly higher chance of winning than getting clobbered than an NFL linebacker. Although I'd rather lose than get clobbered by Rivers either, he's 6'5, 228 lbs, I'm 5'11, 125
the amount of effort in these videos is so obvious that he should be a multi-million subscriber channel! the fact that he works so hard for such a small audience is so cool to me
This is what makes sport compelling. Because it is REAL. No one would write this. No one would write a story in which there is a crazy lateral touchdown (with a questionable lateral in the middle) only to have the nicest man in the world miss the extra point. There's no metaphor there, there's no payoff, Something unlikely happened and it meant nothing. Only sport can do this, because it is REAL.
@@raezor82but in Tragedies, there is a flaw, a fatal hubris or other character flaw that organizes the downfall. Even in tragedies about good people, something they do wrong leads to it. There is no flaw here. Just the winds of fate.
10:35 it's incredible how the announcer is calling this last play It's casual. He instinctually calls the play perfectly but it's like he realised what he was saying & suddenly couldn't believe it. "Pending the extra point by John Carney & He Mis-- NOOOOOOOO!!!!"
I've seen this play countless times in countless different ways and I know exactly what's going to happen, but every time (keeping in mind that I'm not even a Saints fan), I feel an internal pain. Just the chances of this happening and the unfortunateness of the situation is almost unbearable.
I am not a football fan. I barely understand it at all. The announcer's anguish gave me goosebumps and made my stomach drop. I never knew anything about this story. What a perfect piece of art, tarnished by that final moment. Or perhaps improved by it. *shudder*
Man, even as a Falcons fan, while I usually want the Saints to get trampled in any game they play, can't help but feel sorry for them. Especially Carney. I'll never cheer for the team (unless it's necessary for the Falcons), but I'll like the occasional player. John Carney was that player. Shame that it had to be him.
John Carney had a house in my hometown and helped our high school kicker out with everything that Bergeron talked about. I was probably 10 at the time and he let me catch the punts and field goals. Nicest guy I've ever met.
I just watched this for about the 10th time. There's something about how Jon did his edit at 4:40 that keeps bringing me back. The art filter over the grainy game footage, the use of the song "Zero Gravity" - (Richard Philip Birdsall), and the way he does most of the video in google earth, just blows my mind. I want to make videos that mean something to people, the way that Jon does. Thank you Jon, you are an inspiration.
@@Buttington_Headerson also even if you never watched a game of football there's a lot of context clues that help you realize that this story ends in tragedy
Oh man, I can never forget this game. I think this was the first year my family had NFL Sunday Ticket and we switched over to this game live. I didn't have any rooting interest so I just watched it unfold. When Carney missed the extra point, I just looked over to my Dad and we both cracked up. Whenever I think a team I'm rooting can't possibly win or lose, I always, always think back to this little, but massive game.
+Ben Distler ahaha that was the #1 suggestion i got in response to last year's episodes. so this time around i got time in a sound booth. gave it a test and everything sounded fine. and then my software, for no reason, decided to record from my laptop's mic instead of my USB mic. i swear i'm cursed. next time's gonna sound better.
+Jon Bois Okay, that's Pretty Bad... Also, I just discovered this series with this new episode. Watched them all now (except the fourth one; hope you can get it back up eventually).
I just discovered these. I watched all of them. So now you're saying there's an episode of this that I can't see because it's been taken down? Wait for it... NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Oh my God, how could they do that?
For those of you wondering, the song starting at 4:40 is called "Zero Gravity" by Richard Philip Birdsall. Jon loves using it in his videos and it makes sense why, just has that almost mystical sound about it
everything post-reveal is AMAZING. the repeats. the sudden color inversion to reflect the tone shift. the fact that each subsequent NOOO is played slower and more drawn out, like it's a cheesy moment in a movie or something. like it's bigger than it was. and then the background music that invokes the horror, the dread, the shock of this moment. i laughed out loud at the newspaper headlines, the "SAINTS DREAMS GO WIDE RIGHT". shown while the NOOOO is at its most dramatic, it feels like it's too soon, even though the article was published days afterwards. and then the reversal of the footage showing the successful lateral, because this one fuckup had undone all their previous victories. god.
Jim Henderson's call of John Carney's missed extra point is one of my favorite calls ever. As a Saints fan, I can remember just shaking my head and laughing because of COURSE that would happen.
11:00 This slowed down version of the “NOOO” sounds like his soul is being slowly sucked out of his body as his skin melts off, muscles and bodily organs fall off, and skull and bones fall apart.
That was so incredible and painful to watch when it happened. Felt so bad for carney. Anyhow great video and thank you for the stroll down saints ineptitude memory lane.
In your last calculation you used the overall percentage of missed extra points. You should have used the percentage for this particular kicker just to drive the nail a little deeper.
The only other comparable announcer _"NOOOOOOOO!"_ I can think of was in the 2003 season, when Arizona's QB, second-year second-stringer Josh McCown - yes, _that_ Josh McCown - knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs _on_ _the_ _last_ _play_ _of_ _the_ _season_ with that ludicrous TD to Nate Poole. Absolutely bananas. Do that one next!
The breakdown of the players to make the Relay possible of who they were and what they did before the The Relay was even a thought. And you presented them like art pieces and gave them the necessary attention that human beings made that possible. That was incredible. Subbed.
you say you know where this is going, that we all know where this is going, but i didn't know where it was going and you made me cry. again. how could you do this to me. again. gosh the agony in that shouted no.... i need to go lie down,,,
It's a lot of fun to return to this one after watching the Falcons doc, now having a glancing knowledge of the Saints' history. I think this is probably Jon's best short video.
Jon, I'm from Spain. I absolutely love American sports, but of course I don't know all the stories. I probably know less than the average fan. So don't assume everybody knows the story beforehand. Thank you for making these videos, I wish you could make one every week or so. Honestly, I love them so much so I pause it every 3 or 4 minutes, because I don't want them to end, haha. Thanks again, and congratulations for the good job.
I know this reply is a year late, but oh well. I think Jon doesn't mean that his audience should *actually* know the exact details of the story, but that based on how the story was leading up to the final moment, it seemed so obvious that the extra point was going to get botched. Or else there wouldn't be any tragedy to the story entitled "No". 😉
2 years late on this response but the whole point of him acting like everyone knows what is about to happen was to bait people who don't know whats gonna happen into thinking the extra point was made
Great responses already above, but I wanted to add that, not knowing the ending beforehand, makes watching this all the more real, or rather SURreal. A bit of me wishes that I hadn't known the outcome before hand as well. That's a gift not very man has.
"it's very...you have to go to work or school next morning" and with that sentence I was a kid again. That's the feeling I'm looking for. But exactly this feeling is gone, forever. Makes me sad.
This is tremendously well done, Jon. This is to me - perhaps the funniest (unintentionally, anyway) broadcaster call of the recent era outside of the 1994 TX high school game where Plano East comes back from down 24 pts with 3:03 to go ahead 44-41 ... only to lose on the ensuing kickoff which was run back for a TD with the broadcaster saying, "NO NOoooo, I don't believe it. God bless those kids ... I'm sick, I want to throw up."
The way he set it up you KNEW the most ridiculously awful thing was going to happen to give everybody a heart attack. Rename the NO team the Martyrs. Nice work. Sometime do one on Wayne Walker, kicker for the Detroit Lions, and a wicked kicking slump he had back in the '60s. He passed at age 80 in 2017. At the time he was asked how he was and answered, "I can't kick!".
I remember watching this live when it happened, but I totally forgot how incredible the lateral play were. The kick completely overshadowed it. If mentioned I would have only said it was a last second miracle TD that the kicker blew in the end.
Something about Jon bois videos is inherently surreal and makes it super interesting. I feel like he could make videos on anything in this format and make anything interesting. My applause goes to you Johnny boi
Who Dat? You know that family member that you love, but they JUST can't get their life together? That's the saints. Except for a few golden moments, you love them, but you know they aint shit. Still, i loved the saints before i knew what football was, and back when i thought every team took turns going to the super bowl
Looking back at all of the struggles and failures the Saints have had, it makes their Super Bowl victory more special, and that whole season seem like destiny was on their side.
I don't know if that NFC Championship game was fixed Vikings' fan, but there was an absurd amount of bias in the Saint's favor in the OT. There seemed to be no bias in the 3rd and 4th quarters, and the Vikes were in a position to win the game with a FG, when Favre threw the pick. IF the refs were fixing it, why wouldn't they have shown some bias in the 3rd or 4th quarter to help the Saints (other than letting some defenders get away with a late hit on Favre) ensure a win, and or to make sure the Vikes wouldn't come within a FG of winning it ?
I don't know why it took me so long to realize why the elongated repetition of "NOOOO!!!!" at around 11 minutes seemed so familiar, because now that I _have_ realized it I can't possibly ever hear it as anything other than Shatner screaming "KHAAAAAAN!!!"
Oh this is gonna be good. When I figured out what the topic was I got so excited. This tragedy is so rarely discussed. I remember watching it when I was 6, live. It is the first single football play I remember.
Yesterday I watched this video for fun. I laughed at the misfortune of the Saints. Laughed at the grief. Thought how silly it was that it would end in such a horrific way. Now I sit here, wrapped in my Commanders sherpa, in reverence and understanding, knowing everything exactly goes according to plan.
As much as I love the "you have to go to work or school the next day", and how much I can relate to that sunday evening feeling, the funny part is that the game was on December 23rd, so no one was going to school, and a chunk of people weren't going to work.....with that said, I don't really care. :)
Hey Jon, looks up the last play between the Eagles and Giants in December 2001. Think it was Ron Dixon possibly I forget, but it was a game to get to the playoffs and they almost completed a hook and ladder play with 6 seconds left from the 20 needing a TD to win. As an Eagles fan I almost had a heart attack
Not even a fan of NFL, but man, these videos highlight the brightest & crushing moments of every sport out there, and it's an absolute treat watching them. Massive props to Jon Bois.
"you know the end of the story" i literally have never in my life had any interest whatsoever in most ball sports and especially the big two american ones, which aren't particularly popular here in Australia among sports fans... and yet you got me fucking invested. A good story told by a good person transcends all boundaries.
ty for explaining what a lateral is. I care very little about watching sports, but your videos are still entertaining as all hell, and those little explanations allow me to follow. ty again :)
I remember hearing he got a great ovation in the final week in the dome, they appreciated all he had done, he came back in 2010 when Hartley was erratic
I love how in the lateral yes/no chart, the only YES is under the team whose name is abbreviated as "NO"
Joseph Fernando hahah
For decades, their acronym was the answer to the question "Is this team good enough to make the playoffs?"
incredible
Joseph Fernando ikr
Lol that's crazy
That wasn't just a no. That s the no of a man who lost a loved one.
tenlosol That’s exactly what I thought.
People witnessing their children get murdered, and also this guy:
And then the “How could he do that???” Like Carney is a psychopath or something.
It’s Darth Vader finding out Padme is dead
Worse than that that is the know of someone who accidentally killed a loved one
The “NO” is bone chilling. The sheer terror and shock is just soul crushing to hear come out of a grown man
It’s also hilarious
@@paulschlacter2685 definitely hilarious. The fact that the other guy called it "bone chilling" has me rolling though lmao

Check out when the Vikings lost to Cardinals. Or again Vikings when Bret Favre had his pass intercepted with the Saints
It sounded like his children's lives were on the line
I think perhaps that man cares too much about football. Perhaps.
No! How could he do that!!!
As someone who didn't know the end of the story I damn near had a heart attack when he missed.
Max Durk it was obvious. That's the point of the whole setup lmao
Same! When he started showing that replay I was like "Oh no, please don't miss!"
Honestly, by the time the video reached the replay I couldn't tell if Jon was just trolling us and the kick was actually good
Lol... I just imagine you as that blonde lady in The Matrix when she was about to get unplugged...
"Not like this... please not like this..."

This is honestly kind of scary how it’s edited like a horror movie. It gives me chills, but adds so much more emotion to the losses of the clips.
I remember watching this live when it happened, but I totally forgot how incredible the lateral play were. The kick completely overshadowed it. If mentioned I would have only said it was a last second miracle TD that the kicker blew in the end.
Something about Jon bois videos is inherently surreal and makes it super interesting. I feel like he could make videos on anything in this format and make anything interesting. My applause goes to you Johnny boi
As a Saints fan this is still painful to watch.
Who Dat?
I've been a Saints fan since I knew what football was and this is the first time I saw it. It HURTS
Who Dat? As a jags fan it's great to watch
Who Dat?
You know that family member that you love, but they JUST can't get their life together? That's the saints. Except for a few golden moments, you love them, but you know they aint shit.
Still, i loved the saints before i knew what football was, and back when i thought every team took turns going to the super bowl
As a Saints fan, I don't really give a fuck because I like seeing other ridiculously over obsessed sports fan get butt hurt over shit like this.
Well I'm cheering for them this year!
Looking back at all of the struggles and failures the Saints have had, it makes their Super Bowl victory more special, and that whole season seem like destiny was on their side.
yeah but I still it would've been better if they'd won in '06 right after Katrina. they choked that NFC championship game away
Destiny more like bounties. They should strip that superbowl away from them
I don't know if that NFC Championship game was fixed Vikings' fan, but there was an absurd amount of bias in the Saint's favor in the OT. There seemed to be no bias in the 3rd and 4th quarters, and the Vikes were in a position to win the game with a FG, when Favre threw the pick.
IF the refs were fixing it, why wouldn't they have shown some bias in the 3rd or 4th quarter to help the Saints (other than letting some defenders get away with a late hit on Favre) ensure a win, and or to make sure the Vikes wouldn't come within a FG of winning it ?
OpiZoid quit fucking crying Vikings fan you will never make it to the Super Bowl and win it
@@dillpickle7358 you simply could have said "win the superbowl"
After I seen the title NOOO!!!! I already knew what you were covering. Its a sad day (in many MANY days) for us Saints fan.
The funny thing is I had absolutely no idea how this ended, but when that NOOOOO kicked in, I cracked up. These are always fascinating and great!
11:00 This guy just turned Jim Henderson into an air raid siren. Oh my god, how did he do that?
I think that is the most visceral, guttural no I've ever heard in my entire life
It's been a week or so, time to watch this again
this will always be my favorite "no!" ever said
Phillip Rivers is also the only NFL quarterback to fumble a QB Kneel. He's overall pretty good, but he's made some real facepalm blunders.
Did you just turn NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO into a Sunn O))) song?
PRETTY GOO)))D
These videos do such a good job portraying emotion. It’s actually unnerving how well done it is
the bois has awoken! thank you lord!
absolutely unreal journalism. You have the mind of a wise old alien. I love this so much. Even the way everything sounds is art.
I was watching this on my phone and my phone died at 12:51. I was alone, in the dark, and spooked.
Back here from the FSU-LSU 2022 season opener, great stuff
I don't know why it took me so long to realize why the elongated repetition of "NOOOO!!!!" at around 11 minutes seemed so familiar, because now that I _have_ realized it I can't possibly ever hear it as anything other than Shatner screaming "KHAAAAAAN!!!"
i was watching this earlier today and then i saw rutgers vs indiana 4th and 32nd play happen later in the day. crazy play, laterals are sick
Oh this is gonna be good. When I figured out what the topic was I got so excited. This tragedy is so rarely discussed. I remember watching it when I was 6, live. It is the first single football play I remember.
On the anniversary of this game I always comeback here to watch this whole video to revisit it.
Never gets old every time I watch this!
"You can't tell me that I witnessed what I just saw take place"
That 'hoo, hoo" at the end. So much pathos. What amazing videos this guy makes.
This is a PRETTY GOOD channel. Subbed.
You Sir, are a very gifted storyteller. You brilliantly make the objective, subjective.
jon i mis you
Yesterday I watched this video for fun. I laughed at the misfortune of the Saints. Laughed at the grief. Thought how silly it was that it would end in such a horrific way.
Now I sit here, wrapped in my Commanders sherpa, in reverence and understanding, knowing everything exactly goes according to plan.
absolutely love these videos. what happened to the Stanislav Petrov one though?
Was that by Jon Bois?
As much as I love the "you have to go to work or school the next day", and how much I can relate to that sunday evening feeling, the funny part is that the game was on December 23rd, so no one was going to school, and a chunk of people weren't going to work.....with that said, I don't really care. :)
Anyone here after Seibert's miss against Dallas?
Dude! You nailed it. 4:44 The feel of the end of a Sunday evening. Painted perfect picture!
Hey Jon, looks up the last play between the Eagles and Giants in December 2001. Think it was Ron Dixon possibly I forget, but it was a game to get to the playoffs and they almost completed a hook and ladder play with 6 seconds left from the 20 needing a TD to win. As an Eagles fan I almost had a heart attack
Not even a fan of NFL, but man, these videos highlight the brightest & crushing moments of every sport out there, and it's an absolute treat watching them. Massive props to Jon Bois.
The Nooo! Sounds like a tornado warning
"you know the end of the story" i literally have never in my life had any interest whatsoever in most ball sports and especially the big two american ones, which aren't particularly popular here in Australia among sports fans... and yet you got me fucking invested.
A good story told by a good person transcends all boundaries.
Another season of "Pretty Good"??? YES!!!
ty for explaining what a lateral is. I care very little about watching sports, but your videos are still entertaining as all hell, and those little explanations allow me to follow. ty again :)
Jon Bois you are always better than just pretty good
Thanks for reopening this painful Saints fan wound
Patriots loss to lateral by Dolphins December 9th, 2018
Damn, fresh and juicy.
Pats won the Super Bowl though
@@CovfefeDotard Yeah, but Miami beating the Pats in otherwise meaningless, lost seasons is one of the best NFL traditions.
Jon Bois is the greatest sportswriter alive
When you kept replaying "*NOOOOOO!*" it sounded like a tornado siren
As a falcons fan, NO Saints struggles always put a smile on my face
This story, was indeed, pretty good
MIAMI AGAINST NEW ENGLAND THOUGH
27 ene. 2016
You’re a special kind of stupid acting like a game that happened over 2 years after this video came out would be considered.
Back in the day as a Saints fan, this is the kind of thing you EXPECTED to happen!
So glad those days over! 😀
The funniest part is that this video ends with the jaguars winning a football game
They won today
I remember hearing he got a great ovation in the final week in the dome, they appreciated all he had done, he came back in 2010 when Hartley was erratic
