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."

I'm not sad for Montana or any other super star that got to play a sport for a living and make multi millions.

I've had back surgery do to work and have other ailments that I have to live with but I still go to work and won't be able to retire for another 25 years or so. I got to go through the grind every day and will be an old crippled man when it's all said and done. Most of us have to live with ailments at some sorts it's part of life. If you chose a job "career" that has 300lbs men laying on top of you humping your leg you may just have future body aches.

What's the requirement for having a "not career" even if you were working?

He just needs a pair of Sketchers to help his balky knee and foot inflammation.

My position is the same.

These guys take a beating and their bodies pay the price. True.


When I was 15 and acting like a wild man, my dad said "boy make good choices, you're going to pay for this crap someday". Bad ideas, car wrecks, sports and injuries pile up, but you heal fast. Then you turn 35.

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.

This is pretty much where I'm at. I have quite a few of the same issues from 20 years of painting. Bad knee, neck, shoulder, back, and I have no strength in my arms once my hands are higher than my shoulders. Sucks for all of us.

It seems to me things that start out fun in life turn out to be really risky and harmful to a person like drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, jacking off with shampoo in the shower, playing football for a career these are all fun and dandy but have serious consequences.
