Montana details damage from NFL career
In an interview with USA Today Sports, the four-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback detailed the ailments he continues to deal with after leaving football following the 1994 season.

They include:

-- Arthritis. Montana told USA Today Sports of the inflammation in his hands: "In the middle of the night they hurt like crazy." He also has arthritis in one elbow and both his knees.

-- A balky knee. Montana can't straighten his knee despite, according to USA Today Sports, having a half-dozen surgeries on it. He said he can't run much anymore and has been told he'll "need a knee replacement when I can't walk."

-- A bad neck. Montana said he has already had three neck fusions and a fourth very well could be on the way. "The path of a nerve they think is being affected," he told USA Today Sports.

-- A troublesome eye: Nerve damage has left Montana with what he labeled a "lazy eye to some degree because every time you're tired, it kind of goes wherever it feels like a little bit." He added to USA Today Sports: "Not dramatic but just enough where you can't read or you have to refocus.

The constant physical woes are an everyday reminder of his 15-year playing career, 13 of which were with the San Francisco 49ers. He's back in the city this week as Levi's Stadium prepares to host Super Bowl 50 in nearby Santa Clara.

Montana will handle the coin toss before the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers vie for an NFL championship Sunday night.

"The mental part was hard initially when I first retired. Because it's quick -- cold turkey, the game's gone," Montana told USA Today Sports, recalling the years since he retired. "Then the physical stuff tries to catch up with you."

And when it does, it keeps Montana from doing some of the things he loves, including physical outings with his wife and three kids.

"My whole family likes to live on the edge, so some of the things I regret that I can't do with them," Montana told USA Today Sports. "Like snowboarding. I fell like 50 times within 30 yards off the top of the ski lift. ... I love basketball. I can't play basketball. I can shoot, but that's about it. I can't run up and down the court. My knee just gives out.

"I tried a little bit of skiing, but unfortunately when you get weight on one ski under my left knee, it's just not very strong. After my first back surgery, what kind of compounds things, is my sciatic nerve has been damaged. So the muscles along my sciatic nerve into my left foot have been numb since '86."

hey, i like your style...

post more - we need the intellectual uplift around here...

The thing is, as bad as a person can feel for nfl players for the toll on their body, they've made enough money to afford good health care, surgeries and medications.


Now....go ask any 55-60 year old carpenter, iron worker, farmer....how many of them can play basketball or snow board. A lot of careers cause people to accumulate damage and injury...and arthritis and tendinitis and bad backs and knees.

Not feeling sorry for NFL millionaires. College football gave them a chance at an education, they had the choice to go get a job instead.
Bingo, was gonna make a similar post. Anybody that does hard physical labor for their livelihood has the same issues. I need a knee replacement now, my other knee is headed there. I have a herniated disc in my neck as well as a bad back and carpal tunnel in both arms. But my penis is in great shape.

I've done physical work since before high school.

The last decade of work really ramped up as I was assembling/dismantling a big juice rig crane on a daily basis. I was already having to take time off work to let my knee heal up. Too much up & down truck/trailer & cranes.

I remember years back my 1st day in the oil patch fresh out of high school. I was a swamper. We were taking the chains & binders off a loaded pipe basket & I went to release a binder. I didn't know you could just pop open a binder so I held on to the handle as I released it. It yarded on my arm so hard that my shoulder neck area hurt really bad afterwards.

Nowadays, every night I'm in pain. They want to operate. It keeps me from walking. Well, it's more of a shuffle.

As far as my knee, I have no feeling waist down so there's that. But I get what I call zappers in that knee. Unbearable pain for like 3 seconds.



What about the office geeks that have no kind of physical activity their entire lives. What are their ailments later in life?


It's just a way of life. My grandmother led a simple life yet she had several ailments due to a hard life on a farm in western Kansas.

Some of it is just being reeruned. Andrew Luck running around willingly taking hits instead of sliding is going to come back and haunt him later in life.

I'm wondering how much of this has to do with diet? Guys like Tony Gonzalez and Tom Brady take care of their bodies with their diet.
I can't help but think that some of these guys like Allen Bailey who eat a ton of red meat to get bigger won't have internal issues later on.

I don't know sounds a little bitchy to me. I'd say even if he didn't play football and had good health at this point of his life he wouldn't have the wife and kids he has today.

Fornicate yourself.


Joe was complaining about the damage to his body. My comments aren't due specifically to this, but there have been a number of players and former players complaining about the damage to their body due to playing the game.


I still like Joe and he was a great Chiefs during his short time here.


Bricks. I am serious. These players all have a college education. Yes, they have an opportunity in the NFL..it's an option many many people wish they had. As it is, these men choose to play the game and they need to accept the damage to their bodies as a cost of being able to retire wealthy in their 30s.

I talked to 2 ranchers today. 1 broke his neck a couple of years ago, has a lot of damage to his body, and in his late 60s was out in the snow feeding cows. The other had a horse roll over him and had terrible injuries. I've never heard either one complains about how bad farming and ranching have beaten them physically.


I have empathy for their injuries and pain....but stop expecting people with similar pain who still work every day in their 40s 50s 60s and 70s to feel terrible for your trick knee.

I must be a very healthy 52 year old if Joe's issues are normal.

Maybe I should challenge him to a one on one football game. I've got two good knees, no arthritis, a healthy neck, and both of my eyes point in the same direction.

What do you think? Could I beat Joe in a one on one?

I don't quite get the sentiment that these issues he is having are normal or less of a deal because he made some money and is famous from it. Guess working as a professional in an office job isn't so bad since nobody I know is broken physically like that. Especially at not a very old age.
