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.. |

Joe ****ing Montana didn't get interview? The KEY player on those teams? Something was definitely up. Bradshaw, Aikman, Elway, Namath...they all got interviewed for their episodes.

Although, in fairness, wasn't he the only one of the SB MVPs who didn't come out at SB XL because he wanted some kind of exorbitant fee?
Edit: He was one of three who didn't.

So what if he is a prick. He was damn good QB and won Championships. He couldn't win it for us so **** him any ways. I love Joe Montana but I hate him at the same time, I'm still a big fan of his. I don't see why some one would hate him for not doing TV though it's his perogitive. |

You still don't get it.
Dane hates Joe because he's a prick. The fact that he hasn't been able to hack it on TV is evidence that he's a prick - no one wants to work with him. By the way, your spelling is atrocious.

I mean. Now we have to look at every (former) star athlete that isn't involved in T.V. or other endorsements, and ask if they are dicks. |

I am dealing with it. By pointing it out.
I am a prick. Like Joe Montana.

As far as the appearance fee, if he didn't want to do it for free and the NFL was going to benefit from his celebrity, why shouldn't he require a fee for his appearance? |

It must not be a huge grudge against the NFL because he did play flag football for them a few weeks ago.

I suppose Kraft Foods is a no one as well? At least the guy is putting his name on a worthy cause, unlike some real dicks of the former and present NFL who we only see in the news when it's bad.

Joe Montana reminds me of the great baseball pitcher, Steve Carlton. Crazy as hell, pretty aloof, and somewhat reclusive.
From Carlton's biography... Carlton had a unique relationship with the media. When he struggled early in his career, Carlton remembers the media portrayed him rather harshly. Carlton states, “I got slammed quite a bit. To pick up the paper and read about yourself getting slammed, that doesn’t start your day off right.” This negative view of the press led Carlton to refrain from speaking to the media from 1984 through the end of his career. Sports author Peter Golenbock summarized Carlton’s characteristic personality when he wrote, “Steve Carlton was not your normal guy. On the mound, he would tune out all distractions. Off the mound, he did the same. If he considered you the distraction, he’d direct at you an icy stare. Teammates considered him to be a recluse. He hated to sign autographs. He pissed people off with his stand-offishness and arrogance. One baseball writer wrote, "The two best pitchers in baseball this year don't speak English. One is Fernando Valenzuala, the other is Steve Carlton." Carlton was also the finest left handed pitcher of his generation.” Put Montana's name in place of Carlton's and you have the same player in different sports. |
