From the Peanut Gallery:
"I remember tracking the live, commercial free broadcast on my big dish satellite of another time the Chiefs visited Tampa a couple of years later. This was before the NFL Sunday ticket. With no commercials, you could hear what the announcers really thought about the game, and the cameramen would focus on the cheerleaders during commercials.
"During one break with the game well in hand, you couldn't hear what was said when the cameras caught coach Marty talking with Montana. He pointed at the swollen sack on his elbow. It looked like Marty was telling him to go back in if he wanted, but when Joe started to run back on the field, Marty snagged his arm and told him to have a seat on the bench."
"The players were laughing with Joe about how coach punked him. The game was already won. Then GM Peterson came over to Joe, and it was obvious that they were talking about this non-serious injury which apparently happened to him a lot. The Peterson pointed right at the cameras, then Joe's arm, and indicated with a finger that he should wrap the arm."
"When they came out of the break and the announcers were faking concern, "Oh, no. Joe is injured. Will he will even be able to play next week?" Joe was fine. It was all done for the cameras. Used to see a lot shananigans like that."
