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.. |

I skipped as many days as possible, slept through classes, never took any homework home. Hell, after getting the books at the start of the year, I threw 'em in my locker, and didn't take them out until the end of the year to turn them in. Even with all that, I think I do a pretty good job of spelling. It ain't that hard to get it right.

Did it ever occur to you that Montana might be a shy, reclusive down to earth guy who just isn't interested in making fans remember his legacy by being in a bunch of commercials or a talking head for the network. If youre going to call him an asshole at least have some personal experience or encounter with him as an example.

Having met Joe Montana before, I'd say shy and aloof and pretty good adjectives.
I wouldn't say he's a prick though. |

I met Montana at the Tanners on 87th a few years ago. He was a pretty nice guy IMO. He had just tabbed out and stayed and talked to me for about 15 minutes before he took off.

Who cares if Joe's a dick? Rudy is a phony who believes his own bullshit story.

Like I said earlier I think Joe has a problem having gone from a supertar to nobody wanting him for anything. He thought there was going to be a big payday after football and that never materialized for him. Not only does he have zero communication ability he doesn't even understand how his actions are going to be perceived. That's not really surprising considering that is usually a package deal. The guy has done charity work and doesn't come across as having a big ego though. The only guy I really know from that team was Roger Craig and he said Joe was actually a really cool guy.
