Joe Montana shits on Rudy, Dane shits on Joe Montana.
I love this.
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...n=ncaaf-268408 Biopic fans will be shocked – shocked! – to learn that Hollywood takes liberties with the real-life narratives and characters that often come to stand in for history in the popular imagination. In the case of the enduring 1993 hit "Rudy," the film was so unrecognizably warped beyond the existence of an undersized Notre Dame player who registered an improbable sack against Georgia Tech in 1975 that former Irish coach Dan Devine called certain scenes – notably the climactic moment when Rudy's teammates confront Devine's villainous character by handing in their jerseys to get Rudy on the dress list, and later his reluctance to actually put Rudy in the game – "unforgivable" and "a lie." Hall of Famer Joe Montana, then a lowly freshman lingering somewhere on the depth chart, doesn't remember it quite as harshly. But as he told radio host Dan Patrick on Wednesday, he certainly doesn't remember any uplifting strings swelling in the rafters, either: DP: Were you there when Rudy was there?And so reality continues its long unbeaten streak against trumped-up sentiment – not that Rudy Ruettiger minds, now that he's parlayed his 15 minutes into a steady career as motivational speaker and "corporate trainer." I suppose anyone who's able to inspire and sell a bogus feel-good movie about himself being a run-of-the-mill scrub is destined for success. Last edited by Hammock Parties; 09-09-2010 at 11:45 PM.. |

Wow... You mean to tell me Hollywood will embellish stories like this for cinematic drama and ticket sales?

The movie sucked and Joe Montana is a ****ing dick.
Always has been, always will be. It pained me greatly when that **** was traded to the Chiefs in '93. I have a hard time rooting for people I ****ing dislike, with a passion. And Montana is one of those guys. |

Still love the movie.
And I'm always disappointed when SNL does their sports special and doesn't play the Montana skit from the 80s that was hilarious... "I'm going to go upstairs and masturbate!" (I'm going to go upstairs and masturbate!) |
