I always sensed that Joe Montana was a sorry individual, but that was mainly to do with him being a 49er. Now this story...Montana and Terry Bradshaw skipped the very cool Super Bowl MVP introductions because they wanted more money. For his part, Bradshaw is at least denying it, but apparently Montana is not. Each former Super Bowl MVP got a $1000 and all expenses paid including hotel, transportation and Super Bowl tickets. Apparently that was not enough for Montana, who reportedly demanded $100,000 to make a single appearance!!! Now that is the definition of sorry!!!
ESPN.com - NFL/PLAYOFFS05 - Reports: Montana, Bradshaw skip ceremony over cash.
I wondered why there weren't more of those guys there. That is Shitty (note the capital S there). I'm not surprised. I've hated Montana for sometime. I had sort of liked Bradshaw, but he has gotten more and more and more on my nerves in the past couple of years for a multitude of reasons. Was great to see Randy White, Roger Staubach, Franco Harris, Bart Starr and those guys all there.

Yeah, I never liked Montana. Talk about a Prima Dona complex. $100,000?!?! He's crazy.
Bradshaw, though... that surprises me. Especially since it was the STEELERS in the Super Bowl. I would have thought he'd be out there with a Terrible Towel like Franco, but I guess not. Maybe because so many people in Pittsburgh are saying Ben is "the New Bradshaw". ;)

Yeah, I think if anyone sees Montana walking down the street he should get blindsided!!! As for Bradshaw I think he just forgot to take his meds that day. He should get another chance.
