Ok - I haven't made it to the store yet. I got sidetracked.
There was a biography episode on Joe Montana. My hands down all time favorite football player of all time. Ever.
Growing up near South Bend Indiana, of course I am a Notre Dame fan. I have been a HUGE fan of Cool Joe since he first walked on the field. His ND stats? Not the greatest - but damn that boy made a game exciting. I even had the opportunity to sit next to him at a local pub (until I got kicked out for being underage) one day. I was too star struck to speak - but it was Joe. Damn. Did I mention how much I love the way he played the game.
When he was drafted by the 49ers my loyalty went with him. Oh - I was never a 49er fan. I was a #16 fan. Pure and simple. And as he just kept getting better and better I just got prouder and prouder. I didn't miss a game. Except for Super Bowl XVI. I was in Costa Rica working and had to wait for someone to call and tell me who won (like I had any doubts). I had them mail me as many articles as possible. Ahhh....good times.
Anyway - it dawned on me this morning......it's already the end of July. Training camps start soon, then preseason then IT'S TIME!!! Have I mentioned how much I love football.
And I'm a huge fan of Cool Joe. Yeah - I have to agree - the greatest QB ever to play the game.
