As we have approached that time of year between the draft and training camp, one thing is pretty clear: NFL football can't come soon enough. Before the pads come on and the injury reports start trickling in, though, let's take a look around the streaming jukebox that is YouTube for some golden picks -- with a red trim, that is.

Terrell Owens becomes "T.O.":

The nickname "T.O." doesn't bring a lot of warm and fuzzy memories to most 49ers fans, but this would have to be one of them. Down by four points with eight seconds remaining, it was all or nothing for the Niners in a playoff game against the then-powerhouse Green Bay Packers. Fans were captivated by Steve Young's marksman-like 25-yard bomb to the once-humble receiver, who evaded triple coverage to catch the game-winning touchdown and clutch it in the end zone in fetal position -- a star was born.

49ers Draft Day Party- Draft V. Davis Reaction:

You've gotta love team spirit. And you'll find plenty of that in this clip, which documents a room full of Niners fans anxiously waiting to reap the fruits of the 4-12 season that proceeded it. When the offensively challenged franchise announces the selection of Vernon Davis -- the freakishly talented tight end out of Maryland -- at 1:08, the room erupts with an electric jubilation that will give any self-respecting 49ers fan a case of goose bumps.

49ers Training Video:

You all remember this -- the controversial spoof video made for the players that found its way into the hands of the media. In it, former public relations director Kirk Reynolds played mayor for a day, recanting the team's politically correct policies while engaging in some very politically incorrect behavior simultaneously. In this snippet, we see him talking about protocol around female reporters using some sleazy strippers as props. Needless to say, the jokes went over like a lead balloon and ultimately cost Reynolds his job.

We are the 49ers:

This campy yet clever parody of Billy Joel's "We didn't start the fire" is an amusing look back in the storied history of the franchise. The song is accompanied by a slideshow showing some of the greatest imagery of the team dating back to the days of leather helmets. Be careful, though, you might get this stuck in your head.
