SF writer bringing some late breaking news to the Land of La La La.
They are unlikely to appreciate it.
I post this to bring up a forgotten moment regarding Montana's justifiably respected record of
No INTs in the SB. A moment not included in the Dieter Kurtenbach piece.
A forgotten moment.
Super Bowl XXIII, SF vs CIN the tragic figure Lewis Billups
dropped an easy, in his arms, game changing INT in the end zone
Montana's pass was from the 15 Yard line, 49ers scored on the next play.
49ers went on to win Montana's 3rd SB 20-16
via the now legendary 92 yard drive
in the final minutes of the game.
*
Cincinnati notably continues to fail to win with men of proven suspect character.
The now forgotten moment's man Lewis Billups' career faded, he ended up going to prison and finally killing himself and his passenger in a high speed auto crash.
Montana would win a fourth Super Bowl, go on to earn best that has ever been status.
I am struck by how much pivoted on that one moment, one play,
perhaps not even 2 seconds of time.
How much would have changed, for all concerned,
had Billups simply caught that ball?
Another part of me thinks, knows, or thinks I know...
that is what losers do, right?
The moment arrives, they fall short.

Tragedy of Billups Only Started With Dropped INT
