You guys at ESPN neglected to mention that Joe also had the flu as well as having to battle hypothermia throughout the entire game.

The great Lindsey Nelson was on the call for CBS Sports. Paul Hornung was the color commentator and the late Frank Glieber was the sideline reporter.

Were it not for The New York Giants Defense, Montana would have 2 additional rings. He remains the GOAT.

I know it's different eras, tom Brady is 1b, but to me Joe Montana will always be the greatest quarterback of all time.

Tom Brady: hold my beer

Good thing they make chicken noodle soup in case of these kind of things or when you’re sick and have a cold or flu

I saw that game. He was too stubborn to quit. He was something else. I wanted the Giants to draft him because of the courage he showed in that game. As it turned out, i was right.

That was such a brutal ice storm that day. I mean everything was just glazed in ice. power lines, tree limbs, car windshields.

"Montana has done it again." Everyone watching knew he would.

If notre dame wins it all that would be crazy

[carlosbauza]

Joe Montana is the Greatest Of All Time.

[robertgomez]

Who did it better Jordan or Montana???

[vincentmurphy]

THE BEST - Tom Brady playing in 79-89's would be pumping gas by 1982 too tough a league in defense no baby QBs in those times.

[CloudStrife]

That's what Notre Dame should do from now on.

It was the warmed IV(s) of saline solution... but chicken soup makes a better story.
