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.. |

BTW I have no idea why anyone would hate the guy. He was a master at what he did and performed at a level that most people believed made him the best ever. He also ended his career in KC. Hell if he had played another year we may have won it all.

I am not going to argue that with you but every poll I have ever seen asking who was the best ever he won unless it was done in a bias forum.

I'm inclined to agree.

I separate a person's work from what kind of person they are. Just like some musicians I like are prob dicks. I look at as the work someone does and the kind of person they are as 2 different entities. Thats how I resolve rooting for all I know could be thugs. Because I liked montana the football player doesn't mean I think he's a good guy. Thats why I hate elway. As a football player. He may be the nicest guy in the world but I hated him from a football standpoint. If elway played for say washington I'd prob be neutral . And still would have liked montana better as a qb. |

Joe is a dick because he doesn't have very many endorsements. Only on here.

He's saying Joe isn't working in TV or doing ads because PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO WORK WITH HIM. Why? He's a douchenugget. Montana actually had a brief stint with CBS Sports (or maybe NBC) after he retired. But he promptly disappeared and has NEVER been seen again as a TV analyst. Wonder why?

You want to know what's amazing?
NFL Network did FOUR episodes of America's Game telling the tale of the 49ers 80s Super Bowl teams. The four teams that Montana played on. They interviewed 12 different players or coaches, on camera, from those teams. JOE MONTANA...the BEST PLAYER on those teams...was not interviewed. Why not?
