Also, that team would collapse without him. If Brady shatters his collarbone next week and is out for the year, all their SB aspirations are tossed out the window. Could they still make the playoffs and maybe spoil another team's playoff run in the 1st round? Maybe. Would they go to the SB? Not a chance.

Take into account Young only won one SB with a team he should have won several with, and the 49ers actually missed the playoffs the season after Montana's horrible elbow injury. If the team was that good without his presence, they should have won the SB that year as it was before Dallas started dominating the league.
Had Montana been with the team, the 49ers probably would have won that 93 NFC title game, and possibly the rematch a year later.
If Bruce Smith hadn't knocked Montana out cold in the AFC title game against the Bills in 94, we would have seen a Chiefs-Cowboys SB. The guy was one game away from taking an average team to the SB.
As far as Brady's early career, only WR I remember is Deon Branch. In Montana's early career he didn't have many weapons either. Dwight Clark being the exception of course.

I played the new Madden at someone's house. Haven't bought it yet as I don't play videogames enough to warrant paying those hefty prices. I agree that its not as good as it could've been, and the only real reason to get it would be having up to date rosters.
Its better than 06 though. 06 was way too easy, and things such as instant replay and quite a few coaches were missing.
EA has a monopoly on NFL games. No one can compete with them, so they have no drive to actually create kick ass games. Sega was starting to kill Madden before EA got exclusive rights.
#18144 The Sunset Strip » Lindsey Lohan broke » 988 weeks ago

She may be clean and sober, but a recent report in News of the World claims Lindsay Lohan faces a new challenge '” getting out of debt! After checking out of the Cirque Lodge, lil' LiLo is so cash-poor from the high cost of drugs and rehabilitation, she's staying in a guest house owned by executive producer and billionaire financier Tom Gores.
'Lindsay doesn't have much choice as she is totally broke,' a source told the newspaper. 'The only reason she's coming back to L.A. is to earn some money fast. She still thinks nothing of blowing thousands of dollars on a single night of partying. And the amount she has wasted putting cocaine up her nose is disgusting. Even she has lost count.'
Not tallying the untold money spent on her alleged cocaine use, Lindsay's other bills mounted quickly over the last year. NOTW states that one hotel stay alone ran over a million dollars once the high cost of keeping chauffeurs on standby and sipping Cristal were factored in. Another million reportedly went to clothes, plus 70Gs for hairstyles and 'tanning' (otherwise known as LiLo's orange glow), as well as hefty tabs for cars, parties and lawyers.
And last, there was the major expense for treatment. The three well-publicized rehab stays came with huge price tags, costing $30,000, $45,000 and $62,000 respectively. 'Rehab does not come cheap and Lindsay has spent a fortune on it this year,' the source said. 'Her first two stays there sadly proved a complete waste of money for her.' And shockingly, NOTW's source added, 'I can't see this time being any different.'

Go with the 360. The ultimate football experience can only be found on a 360. Wii is more geared towards kids and also a party type atmosphere. It doesn't get all the big games either, although Nintendo does have its own exclusives(Mario, Metroid, Zelda,etc.).
#18146 The Sunset Strip » Spears turns herself in to L.A. police » 988 weeks ago

LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears is no stranger to being photographed, but it's not often she has her fingerprints taken at the same time.
On Monday night, Spears reported to a Los Angeles police station to face charges of hit and run and driving without a valid license, police said.
Officer Mike Lopez said Spears turned herself in around 9 p.m. and left about 45 minutes later. Spears was fingerprinted and photographed, he said.
"She was fine, cooperative," Lopez said. "She did her business and came out."
Spears, 25, was wearing large designer sunglasses and a black turtleneck dress and jacket. As she left the station, she told KCAL-TV that all went smoothly.
"They were nice," she said of police. She told the station she was wearing the sunglasses because she had pinkeye.
The charges stem from an Aug. 6 wreck during which paparazzi filmed Spears steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a Studio City parking lot. The video showed her walking away after assessing the damage to her own car.
The owner of the other car, Kim Robard-Rifkin, filed a police report three days later.
Spears had been ordered to report for booking ahead of an Oct. 25 court appearance.
She has been spending considerable time dealing with legal issues lately. On Oct. 1, a court commissioner ordered her to temporarily relinquish custody of her two young sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline, citing concerns over Spears' drug and alcohol use.
She was in court last week to appeal the order and was granted one overnight stay a week with her boys, but the visits must be monitored.

i dunno Brady is pretty damn cool under pressure
You should have seen Montana. At the SB against the Bengals where they were losing and time was running out, teammates talked about how in the huddle he was mentioning how he noticed John Candy in the audience. He threw the winning TD.
One thing I will never forget, and this happened in the twilight of his career, he took an average team(the Chiefs) into Houston(Oilers back then). Buddy Ryan's defense was the talk of the league, and Buddy and his players were trash talking. Montana tore that defense apart in prime time, and the Oilers never recovered. Its one of the best ownings in league history.
Also, Montana is one of the main reasons that kick ass Bears team of the mid 80's only won one SB instead of being a dynasty.

I think people are counting his stage presence and offstage antics along with his actual resume as an artist. if you go by resume alone, he doesn't rank nearly as high. Cornell would rank higher based on body of work and his ease at moving forward with the times.
Sure that resume is incredible, but its not yet big enough to warrant comparison to the likes of McCartney, Plant,etc.

We really need to realize that we are watching perhaps the best QB of all time in his prime.
I wouldn't go that far. No one will ever touch Montana, although Brady is as close as it gets. Other than the fact Montana was a genius, every target he had to throw to was a dangerous weapon. Brady is entering a similar phase in his career, and is doing it younger than Montana did. Lets see Brady go to a team like Detroit and take them to a title game.
The main thing that will always separate Montana from the rest of the elite is he was THE clutch player. He was Michael Jordan before there ever was a Michael Jordan.

I think he's ruining his career. M.I.A. is another small artist, yet she is even bigger than him. If she started releasing a ton of albums, it would overwhelm people and they would just move on. They might go see her shows, but no one is interested in that much material.
If BH is interested in making money, he should set his sights on making one great mainstream album instead of releasing 20 small ones.
