The CRAZIEST FAN in Pittsburgh Steelers HISTORY

- In 1987, following a loss to the New Orleans Saints, many Pittsburgh Steelers fans were upset, especially after another poor performance from their starting quarterback, Mark Malone. However, one fan took this to another level, when, in protest of Malone, he decided to take his car and literally drive through Three Rivers Stadium. This is the story behind the absolutely crazy joyride

Fun Fact: This game clinched the Saints first ever winning season.
Who dat
took em 20 years
The first time they could add the S to the front of their name and not just be the Aints
Was well worth the wait
Coach Mora!
My Dad regrets he never took a picture because people may never believe him, but when the Horseshoe was being renovated he parked his truck (think it was a Blazer) in the End Zone. Far from cry from what this guy did but I think it's pretty wild to be able to say that.
Edit: I asked him about it again, he was right next to the end zone as they had it fenced off. He was a few feet from it though which is very impressive. He said it was under construction so he just drove up to it since it wasn't restricted or blocked off.
This one goes beyond any words I have....absolutely unreal. Drive through the stadium--Just wow! What a great job you did researching and writing the narrative for this video.....and love the subtle reminder of the Urban Meyer controversy and video--Very smooth :)
I'm surprised UrinatingTree didn't bring this incident up first.
I love that every time you mention a passer rating, I know what the rest of the sentence is going to be before you even say it.
Honestly, hearing it in almost every video has gotten kinda old. It's the same "catchphrase" bs that hacky comedians use to get a pop when their jokes aren't working.
@@SkunkApe407 Meh, everyone has a shtick. Nothing wrong with that at all.
@@jemiller226 there really is though. Pat McAfee doesn't need a catchphrase. Brandon Perna, Tom Grossi, and Five Points Vids don't need catchphrases. Catchphrases are a substitute for content. They're just filler. They don't add anything to the subject, and they become predictable, therefore distracting viewers from the point of the video.
"Mark Malone threw himself as a pass, and fell incomplete." - Pere Axthelm.
The Man who caused this damage? Tony Morelli, he is currently one of the County Commissioners in Jefferson County Ohio (Steubenville)
Not a shock that OH would vote for a criminal.
@@joehung1552 I'm not even a Steelers fan, but I do remember Mark Malone impersonating an NFL quarterback. Morelli deserved to be judged not guilty by reason of temporary insanity.
@@johncate9541 Penn State had a QB around 20 years later named Anthony Morelli. He was about as good as Malone. Any relation?
This dude's an absolute legend.
He was a heck of a guy for sure
I can only imagine how long it took to clean up that mess
I'm upset about the gallons of nacho cheese lost.
I was 10 years old and at this game with my dad. Mark Malone helped ruin my childhood on more than one occasion. However, his 1987 stat line of 154 completions, 336 Attempts 46.4 %. 6TD’s 19 INTS. 46.7 passer rating which is only SLIGHTLY better than if you did nothing but SPIKE THE BALL INTO THE GROUND ON EVERY SINGLE PLAY, takes the 💩 cake.
Lol. Damn.
Noll had a bromance with Malone I swear! 😅
@@KristianWontroba I know, right. It’s like they had to justify his first rounds status. People rag on Bubby Brister, but Brister was light years better than Malone. Plus, Brister had to play under Joe Waltons horrid offensive scheme.
@@scottyjordan3036 Yeah, he peaked in '84 and '85 and was very serviceable. Any knee issue certainly would hamper his mobility, but I dunno if his bum knee can be blamed for the poor decision making later on though. His confidence sagged later on, and he just started making a lot mental errors. You gotta have thick skin to deal with the boo birds. The added pressure, from either fans or game situations, seemed to bring out the worst in him. I think much of his later issues was between his ears.
@@Hutch76k His first year was rough, and the fans got stuck in with that first impression. He did well in the seasons after that with decent completion % and yards passing, except those interceptions really hurt 'em. He would play well for a while, then just lose his mind on one play, and it would result in a really bad pick. But hey, he had an 81.6 passer rating in '90. Not too bad! Certainly not as bad as some might remember him.
This ranks right up there with among the craziest erratic incidents at a stadium. Like the time a plane crashed into memorial Stadium in Baltimore after the Steelers trounced the Colts.Donald Kroner on December 19th, 1976. Thankfully no one was killed in the incident.
Jon Bois did a Pretty Good video on that one. I don't mean to plug the competition, but it WAS a good video.
@@Oliviacaptain Secret Base did a 41 minute video on that. I don't know JG9 ever did a video on that incident but it would be to hear his commentary on that.
@@ravenheaven2425 the SB video is worthy of an award.
this guy deserves an award for saving the team. and Bradshaw owes him a drink.
I wish there was video of this and with Kevin Harlan doing the commentary.
it would be awesome
THAT GUY IS DRUNK!
@@CTubeMan his car is covered in cheese
The even crazier thing is pull something like this later and he could have made millions with reality shows and stuff but we hadn't regressed that low yet.
If he was a true Steelers fan, he would hav been riding a motorcycle without a helmet
I could see Urinatingtree doing this and saying "THE STEELERS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!"
Mark Malone was this dude's joker arc
I still remember the pre-Xmas game at home that year where they needed to beat the Browns to make the playoffs and lost 19-13. Someone had a huge banner that said “dear Santa, please bring us a quarterback ours is broken!” Another said “Off the Mark” and they had to always introduce the defense before games to avoid the raucous boos Malone had been getting.
All I can think of is Homer driving and screaming OUTTA MY WAY JERKASS!
I believe this story appeared in a 1987 issue of the Weekly World News.
Next to Son Of Bat Boy?
Are we sure this wasn't Urinating Tree by chance, screaming out the window "we're gahnta Supa Baaaaaawwwwlllll!!"? Legendary story
That's exactly what I was thinking. If it wasn't Tree, it was definitely his dad.
I’m surprised the Washington fans haven’t tried this.
I remember this incident well. I still can't believe this happened.
This never could happen in post-9/11 America, would be hilarious though.
So it wasn't Uringatingtree?
Probably a distant relative of his
You beat me too it
I believe when this occurred he would have been UrinatingSeedling.
his dad lmfaooooo
@@thatduderobo1974 Definitely his dad.
Imagine the cost if it was reusable cheese dip.
"How would a child even get access to a car?"
Um, a five year old from Utah was caught driving a car in 2020. When stopped by police, the five year old responded that he was "going to California to buy a Lamborghini."
In May of this year(2022), a seven year old Ohio boy was caught driving his parent's SUV.
In the same month a four year old boy in Utrecht, Netherlands took his mother's car for a drive and wrecked it.
My little brother was 4 in 1990, when he started our family station wagon, put it in reverse, disengaged the parking brake, and backed the car out of the driveway, across the street, and into the ditch.
Kids can and do take cars, and it happens on a fairly regular basis. Kids are highly observant and quite a bit smarter than you think.
I knew Mark Malone ended up not being worth a 1st-round pick, but I didn't know his poor play drove people THAT nuts.
@@scottyjordan3036 Why did Chuck Noll even think about clearing that assignment for Malone? That doesn't seem like an appropriate position for someone who was supposed to be Terry Bradshaw's successor.
@@scottyjordan3036 That became crystal clear in the '80s and '90s. Bill Cowher turned out to be an upgrade. Change was badly needed in Pittsburgh even by the late '80s, let alone the dawn of the '90s.
@@marcus813 The Steelers did not draft Malone to be a QB. The heir apparent to Bradshaw was Cliff Stout. They were going to convert Malone to WR. This injury changed those plans.
@@scottyjordan3036 Hindsight is great. That year 26 teams passed on Marino. Five of those teams drafted QB and only one of them, the Bills, can say they made the right choice. The Colts cannot say they made the right choice because Elway made it clear he was never going to play for them.
Back at the draft QB was not a position of need for the Steelers. They had Bradshaw and he wanted to play at least another 5 years, The league was not as QB driven as it will become.
Lastly the reason why so many teams passed on Marino was because of rumors of cocaine use. That scared Noll away. He dealt with a QB in the 70's Joe Gilliam who had a substance abuse issue and was not going to do that again. The player they draft, Gabe Reveria, was a great player but became paralyzed in a car accident his rookie season.
@@innocentbystander72 My understanding is that they drafted Malone due to his being the best athlete available at their draft position. He was their 3rd-string QB in '80 and until Stoudt's injury, much of '81. The only reason why he played WR in a game that counted is due to the WR room being all but wiped out in the week leading up to their game at the Seahawks late in the '81 season. JG9 covered this in a video back in June 2021.
A YINZER RAGE MODE CERTIFIED, INDEED.
StIlLeRs GaHnTa SeWpAhBaWl¡¡¡
Time to blast Renegade and get some Sheetz and a 30 of Yuengling, cause the Stillers are gonna go to the Super Bawl
I would say just do what Urinatingtree does every week, but CZcams was not around in 1987.
Also there was Penn St. qb named Anthony Morelli! No relation to this Tony Morelli but still crazy none the less
I guess he was...
Nacho Average Steelers Fan.
😎YEEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
He was from Ohio. Not sure how he wasn’t into the Browns more because they were better that decade.
Unless of course he’s originally from Pennsylvania.
I’d steal this joke, but it’s non-reusable.
ISWYDT
That was cheesier than a box of Kraft Dinner
He should've told the police: "I Don't Like Malone-days".
Boomtown Rats!
My mom and I called him "Magnum Malone", as he resembled Tom Selleck. I think a fan had a sign saying that in the mid-80s and that is where we got it from.
Malone was a good athlete with a piss-poor, inaccurate arm, ala Ole Bobby Douglass. Bobby though, was the most intimidating running QB, ever. Malone, not so much.
He was instead, as a friend of mine said in those days, "The Master of the One Bounce Pass".
He did look like Selleck but instead of the too short 80’s shorts Malone always had a huge dip in. He did have as good a bounce pass as Magic Johnson or Stockton.
"He was going to lead a drive on the field"... Maybe the greatest line ever...
Well hopefully no one is this mad about Heinz Field being renamed Acrisure Stadium.
Why did he even bother with his own car?
I've seen several Steelers games over the years where there were like 3 cars just lined up on the sideline at the far end of the stadium away from the benches.
He could have hijacked one of those instead...
And if you look closely in this video, for this game against the Saints, there were at least 4-5 cards parked on the '"field".
Didn’t this happen on a day when there were no events happening at the stadium?
5:00, I never thought I’d ever hear a “Mary Poppins” reference in video about sports
Yondu approves #GOTG
I went to college in Indiana PA which some folks might knows near Pittsburgh. And I used to hear the Steelers fans ripping to Mark Malone all the time
Steelers fans a NACHO average fans.
Nice Mary Poppins reference. Supercalifragilisticexpialatrocious
Man That joke about that Video of the Jaguars vs Seahawks Game was funny.
Lol. My dad was good buddies with that guy. Charges were actually eventually dropped and he had hefty fines to pay. But goddamn. You hit on this one. This was refreshing. Go Valley! AK Valley for life baby!
After watching this hilarious video, my first thought was, "Who did the Steelers have backing up Malone? Helen Keller? Stevie Wonder?".
Took a look at their roster, and they had 25-year-olds Steve Bono and Bubby Brister on the bench... While neither would ever get close to becoming the next Bradshaw, they both eventually became fairly decent starting QB's. Neither played more than a few snaps that season. What were the Steelers thinking??
Honestly, I think they were still dealing with the hangover from not drafting Marino...
I'm glad the Saints were a part of this!
I remember this. I happen to miss that game because I was in Florida. I remember the news story breaking the next day. Lol.
At Mark Malone had a decent broadcasting career
Do ya see how well built those cars were 40-50 years ago?? Like a boat on wheels. Merica dammit
If this had happened today, Pittsburgh television stations KDKA, WPGH, WPXI and WTAE would've had their newscopters airborne quickly, and this would've been on live TV.
Have you seen the Dorktown video on the pilot who crashed his plane into Baltimore Municipal Stadium after the Colts had been destroyed by the Steelers in the 1976 playoffs?
I mentioned that earlier in these comments.
Pittsburgh football’s craziest fan is ‘Tree’ Lincowski…
‘Because the Stillers are gonna to the Sipper Bawl…and buy Raycon Ear buds’
Gotta love the Pee Tree Yinzer!
You know damn well they reused that nacho cheese!
Why does a man climb a mountain? Because it's there ....A hypnotized skipper on the 60's comedy "Gilligan's Island"
Watching this video urinating tree laugh was playing in my head the entire time.
I don't know, was it really crazier than that time a guy crashed a plane into the upper decks of Baltimore's Memorial Stadium after a playoff game because ... um ... why did he do that again? I think it was just for bragging rights
The pilot was trying to buzz the stadium and missed.
This was intentional.
@@johnstebbins24 No he was trying to land on the field. He actually touched down before aborting and trying to take off again
@@matthewbanta3240 but it also wasn't a protest of onfield play.
@@johnstebbins24 No but it was still pretty crazy
6:52 for our favorite catchphrase
It looks like Mark Malone should have been arrested by the look of these clips.
can you imagine if someone had tried doing this at baltimore memorial stadium while mad dog mike curtis played for them
Why? Would he have tackled the car? Ask Marion Barber how that works.
@@wtsherman3080 oof size: X-Large
I have lived in Pittsburgh all my life and have been a fan since I was a kid in 70s and I don't think I've ever heard this story.
Lynn Swann once jumped over a car in 3 rivers during a 1979 game vs the browns
Somehow I don't think that this, uh, stunt was the catalyst for Mark Malone getting sent out of town. Call me crazy but I think it has to do with the poor play
Malone turned out to be a far better TV personality than he ever was an NFL QB.
Ugh yinzers can be so annoying sometimes. However they are apart of Pittsburgh culture
Philly fans are even worse, but totally lol.
Can this man truly identify as a yinzer if he’s driving to the stadium from Ohio?
Or you can learn the NFL is classified as sports entertainment and fixed for gambling reasons.
The itemization of the damages at the end of this video made me laugh. At one time, a criminal broke into our concession stand for my high school. As the booster club president, I had to go to a court hearing and my only function there was to testify to how much a box of Snickers cost when you buy it at Sam's club.
I remember watching this game and at the end it was pretty upset but the saints didn't get a late hit on Mark Malone in that sack. If you watch it Mark Malone's in the grasp and he still gets knocked down.
650lbs of nacho cheese 😆😆
I remember that was the year my dad almost didn't renew his season tickets. On another not Malone missed his calling as Tom Sellick's stunt double
What was the reason that the steelers had cars on the edge of the field at three rivers?
Advertising. This was covered on an episode of Peyton’s Places.
Mark Malone was a laborer for my fathers company until he got the ESPN gig.... all the guys hated him as QB for the Steelers, but he was well liked on the job.
As a Steelers fan I knew we were passionate but I didn't think we were this passionate.
Video should be titled "When Yinzers Go Super Saiyan."
Too bad KDKA didnt do speed chase in 1987 LOL
Urinating Tree, is that you?
Three rivers stadium was a giant spiral going to the top level of the stadium. I was there in 1995 to see the Pirates play the Braves. The concrete floor that lead you to all sections of the stadium (spiral design) was wide enough that a car could drive around to every section. It is not like "Acrisure" stadium that is all escalators and small walkways. Like i said it was a wide concrete floor that was like a spiral walkway.
Mark Malone had great chemistry with Nina Hartley
Wow I didn't know that
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about a lazy decision made by the CBS affiliate in Indianapolis that week.
Worse than Bubby and worse than O'Donnell, Mark Malone was truly the worst Steelers QB I've ever seen. In the several decades I've lived in Pittsburgh I've seen ONE and only ONE fan ever wearing a Malone jersey. I have no doubt the driver of the car could have at least performed as well at QB as Malone, if not better.
O'Donnell was descent. Except for that Super Bowl.
I hope Morelli was known as "Nacho Man" from that day forward.
Mark Malone was the greatest QB in Steelers' history!
No one had a more powerful Moustache!
He's coming back for 2022 !

6:55 Which is worse than if you did nothing but spike the ball into the ground on every single play.
nowadays, the cheese dip is reusable
And I thought Raider and Eagles fans were nuts.
THIS IS THE POWER OF STEELER FOOTBALL!!!
Imagine three rivers stadiums third level as a Mario kart track
And to think they could've drafted dan Marino a few years earlier
So could have the Jets-Joe In Saddle River #BRO!
Of course this driving fool gets rewarded for doing something that he should’ve been serving years in prison for nowadays.
Leave it to Pittsburgh to have someone (from Ohio no less) to be inspired to do something this crazy.
Ah… I miss the 80’s.😁
Oh… I also like that Urban Mayer plug you did there. It makes me wonder: was Urban Meyer a fraud this whole time coaching?
His two BCS Championships with the Gators kinda prove he wasn't a fraud. He was a college coach, not a NFL coach. Not a fraud, just not cut out for the NFL. He isn't the first college coach to fail in the league.
That has been My attitude towards Peter Bendix and Boy do I miss the Kim NG era of the Marlins.
This is very similar to what happened in Turkey in 1999 among Fenerbahce soccer fans whose team had just lost to their bitter rivals Galatasaray. However unlike this story two fans drove their cars onto the field right after the match & wanted to run over their own players & coach because they had lost 5-0. Luckily no one got run over.
By the Y2K that is wild
...And then came the 2000 "Galatasaray-Leeds United" semifinal
@@dar3mor6 in which 2 Leeds fans were stabbed to death before the game.
@@chrisguardiano6143 yeah, that game
Mark Malone and Chuck Noll's stubbornness was the reason why the Steelers were what they were in the 1980's.
It’s been mannnnnny yearssssss in commmmmmmmmmmmmmmminnnggg
This was definitely something a Steelers fan would pull off. 🤦♂️
If a fan drove though Heinz Field today, security would’ve caught him and they would’ve been barred from the stadium
I'm having a GD rage stroke right now remembering Mark Malone. I need a drink.
He may be a bad QB but at least he rocks that Tom Selleck stach
A moment of silence for the nacho cheese. 😢
You mean to say Bubby Brister to that lower post.
If Tony upset about Mark Malone I hate to see what he did about Bobbie Brister
damn this domestic terrorism.
I'm surprised at how ... low the damage cost was. I thought you were going to say a million dollars in damages.
The joke that "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out," has a new version. "I went to a football game and a auto demolition derby broke out."
Passionate. Romantic. We love our team so much, we're Crazy enough to do it.
WE ARE STEELERS FANS.
Driving a vehicle illegally into a stadium is cool
Tony is actual a cousin of mine! Black and gold runs in our blood! #legend
