It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Again, I have no idea where the basis of Montana "having an ego" or "being self-serving" or "being petulant" comes from. The only time I have ever seen that claim is here, where one person just makes a baseless accusation and then dozens of others chime in with "yeah, he's for sure a poor sport" and "yeah, he's just bitter".If anyone else had made this argument, I probably wouldn't have an issue with it. But, coming from Montana, it sounds self-serving, which, no doubt it is. Not to mention, a little petulant. Otherwise, I would have said it sounds a lot like things I have stated in the past. The game of Professional Football has evolved considerably over the last 75 or whatever years.
Time for a good marital counselor?Love the last paragraph:
"At that point in the interview, Montana’s wife interjected that Montana does call himself the greatest when they’re alone at home. Perhaps Montana is just putting on a modest face by declining to answer the question."
The part I like is:So does brady call himself the GOAT now in public just like montana says he isnt the goat in public ? Every competitive QB will feel the same way privately .
Here is a good breakdown of this discussions. They are both great in their own way.
Tom Brady vs. Joe Montana; too much heat on Kyle Shanahan
In comparison, we've got Brady winning at age 39 while holding off an heir-apparent, Joe being benched and traded at 36.Montana managed to reach the postseason tournament 11 times. Brady has led the Patriots to the AFC Championship Game an incredible 11 times -- and counting.
Montana was benched for Steve Young in the third quarter of a playoff game, shopped around the league and ultimately traded at age 36 -- unthinkable experiences for Brady.
I said it sounded "self serving" and "a little petulant." That's still what I think. Didn't say it "was" those things, just that it "sounded" like that.Again, I have no idea where the basis of Montana "having an ego" or "being self-serving" or "being petulant" comes from. The only time I have ever seen that claim is here, where one person just makes a baseless accusation and then dozens of others chime in with "yeah, he's for sure a poor sport" and "yeah, he's just bitter".
What is the basis for this this? This is the guy that on the heels of Deflategate said, and I quote, "everybody is afraid to say it, but if [Brady] did it, so what? Just pay up and move on. It's no big deal.”
Does anyone else find the cognitive dissonance hilarious? When it comes to Delfategate, we have all of these martyrs for truth and justice, about how we can't use circumstantial evidence to jump to conclusions. However, then when Joe Montana says something like "you can't compare players across eras", everybody jumps to the conclusion that Montana is saying things like that because, "obviously", he's "bitter" or "resentful" or "was raised to be an entitled brat by his parents". The irony is delightful.
I prefer Marshall Sulk lolI like Joe, he has a quiet demeanor about him and doesn't ever seem overly engaged on football issues for some reason, like he could care less. Not just this vid but in general.
Now Marshall Salt on the other hand....
