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?

JM: Yeah. It's a movie, remember. Not all of that is true.

DP: What wasn't true?

JM: Well, the crowd wasn't chanting. No one threw in their jerseys. He did get in the game. He got carried off [at the end of] the game. [...] Back then they tried to play someone at the end of [the season] that all the seniors could get in the last home game.

The schedule was kind of set that way. So he got in. He did get a sack. And then the guys carried him off, just playing around. I won't say it was a joke, but it was playing around. He worked his butt off to get where he was and to do the things he did. But not any harder than anyone else.

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.

I'm not sure what's worse:

Endorsing Sketchers "shape-ups".

OR

The fact that you GO to a Sketchers store and remember the ads.

I hope that all the girls in the mall dig your Sketchers.

Anyway, there may be something to what Dane is saying. I always got this "I'm too good for this shit" vibe from Montana. Seems like he rarely shows up at HOF ceremonies.

Well, since shape-ups are makin a shit ton of money I would say they are doing all right whether you like them or not.

He's still rakin' in bank from his Sega Genesis royalties.

(lol, was Joe Montana football Genesis, or earlier?)

Just pointing out that I've seen him endorsing products over the years. And there's a sketchers store by me that's not located in a mall.

Clay and I go back and forth on a daily basis in various threads. It's all in good fun.

Joe's a dick.

Jennifer has legs all the way up to her neck, personality too. Joe, not so much int he personality department. One hell of a QB though.

He's a dick and I hate him.

He's the least personable Super Bowl winning QB of all time, maybe the least personable NFL QB of all time.

The mere fact that a three time winning Super Bowl QB is peddling shoes for old people is indicative of the dick factor.

No one wants anything to do with him.

We should change the thread title to "Dane shits on Joe Montana."

I don't really care for him either. And he's not the best QB of all time anyway.
