Where was Joe Montana?

[bodecea]

Watched the Candlestick Park lovefest along with MNF tonite....they had everyone from Jerry Rice to Willy Mays....but Joe Montana was conspicuously absent. Very odd.

You're right that's very weird. They should've pulled all the stops to get him.

It might've been a contractual matter. Isn't he a talking head on a pre/post-game show on another network?

Steve Young is

Haven't seen Montana as a talking head

They probably couldn't agree on how much Montana was to be paid for the appearance.

my guess is he is still pissed at ownership for not refurbishing the stadium and leaving the san fran area.

The stadium was a dump and the Candlestick area sucks

Family took priority......not real odd.

Yeah well, Jerry Rice made up for Montana's absence, patting himself on the back every time he opened his mouth. "I was always open." " I made this great catch, and that great catch."
Reminded me of Ali saying, "I'm the greatest." Of course, Ali can't say much of anything any more.

Thanks for the link. He's still a classy guy and one of the best all-time QBs.
