I cannot understand the rationale behind your obvious dislike for
Montana.  So what if he is at the end of his career.  Also,
Montana has the right to want to play.  He is a winner, not a
quitter.  The fact that Montana does not realize the Fat Lady is
singing is no reason to knock him around. Is there?

Of course, you are proudly just some disgruntled person whose
life has no life.  Instead of being constructive, you attempt
to tear down a legend soley because Montana wants to play. BFD,
it is his right to want to play despite the fact that almost
everyone seems to think to the contrary.

The MAN deserves some respect.  There will never be another 
Joe "Sky" Montana, who can quarterback a team in FOUR SB's
to victories with such coolness.  The SB is the most pressure
type game around (no 4 out 7) and the quarterback determines
the outcome.  Joe is the ultimate warrior under pressure.  Check
his stats in the SB.  No interceptions!  Think about that for
a moment.  It is not like the Niner's DON'T throw the ball!
When anyone thinks of memorable SB moments, Montana is at the
top of the list.
