Excerpt: Joe Montana Football is an American football video game featuring Joe Montana, released in 1991. Since Sega did not secure the rights from the NFL, teams are generically named for US cities and the only non-fictional player in the game is Montana himself. As part of the marketing of the new Sega Genesis, Sega of America president and CEO Michael Katz planned to create a library of instantly-recognizable titles for the console by contracting with celebrities and athletes to produce games using their names and likenesses. As part of this, Sega signed a US$1.7 million five-year contract with Joe Montana, despite concerns among the Japanese executives that the game would not earn enough to cover this cost. Since Sega of America did not at the time have a large game production facility and Sega of Japan had never designed a football game, Sega contracted with Mediagenic to develop the game for November 1989. No one at Sega was aware of the turmoil inside Mediagenic at the time; despite five months of reports that development was proceeding on schedule, Katz discovered in September or October that the game was hardly begun. To have a football game for Christmas release, Sega would have to find an already-completed game that could be converted. Sega approached Electronic Arts, developer of the Madden NFL series, and president Trip Hawkins agreed to help. Joe Montana Football missed the Christmas deadline and was released in January 1991, shortly after the Genesis version of John Madden Football. The finished versions of Joe Montana Football and John Madden Football were so ... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=12360099 ... Read more

Product Description
Joseph Clifford Montana, Jr., (born June 11, 1956 in New Eagle, Pennsylvania), nicknamed Joe Cool and Comeback Joe, is a retired American football player whose professional career in the National Football League (NFL) spanned the late 1970s through the mid-1990s. Montana started his NFL career in 1979 with the San Francisco 49ers, where he played quarterback (QB) for the next 14 seasons. He spent the 1993 and 1994 seasons, his final two years in the NFL, with the Kansas City Chiefs. While a member of the 49ers, Montana started four Super Bowl games and the team won all of them. In 2000, Montana was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In 1989, and again in 1990, the Associated Press named Montana the NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP), and Sports Illustrated magazine named Montana the 1990 "Sportsman of the Year". Four years earlier, in 1986, Montana won the AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award. ... Read more

Excellent book
I got this book ages ago because Joe Montana just amazed me with the 49ers. This isn't a football book but a story about the man and how he got where he did. It's very interesting, honest and endearing.

Audibles My Life In Football
You probably know Joe Montana for winning four superbowls for the forty-niners or being a Hall of Fame quarterback.This book isn't just about that, it explains how Joe got to the pros from Pop Warner football to the end of his career in football.I chose to read this book because I am really into sports and I wanted to read a book that was sports related.The main focus of this book is the hardships Joe faced to become a successful quarterback in the N.F.L.
Joe had many amazing experiences throughout his football career and I will name a few.While Joe was in college he thought that his coach Dan Devine took all of the credit himself.It took Joe until the last game of his college career to get what he thought was the respect he deserved from his coach.In his last game, the Cotton Bowl, his team, Notre Dame, was down thirty-four to fourteen at half time, and Joe had the flu, but, the doctors put him on an I.V. and had him eating hot bowls of chicken soup since it was about ten degrees Fahrenheit outside.In the second half Joe led the team on an incredible come back to make the score thirty-four to twenty-eight and Notre Dame had the ball needing a touchdown to win.Joe marched them down the field to about the ten yard line with fifteen seconds to play, and Devine called for their tight end to run across into the end zone.Joe threw a perfect pass low and hard so he could dive for it and he dropped it.Joe went over to talk with Devine about what play they should run and Joe says "I want to run the same play."Sure enough he does the same play, throws the same pass and the ball is caught!Joe learned that you have to work hard to earn peoples respect.This is important to Joe because he thought he deserved more credit than Devine gave him and after that Devine gave him all the credit.
Another big event was when his wife Jennifer had their daughter, Alexandra.This was huge for Joe because she gave him a person to talk to after a game or practice to calm him down.He said "Even thought she can't quite understand me it makes me feel calm to talk to her.It's like being in a whole new world."Joe learned that there can be another world almost where nothing bothers you and that's what he felt like around Alexandra.
Probably one of the most important events in this book was the nineteen eight-five Super Bowl between the Forty-Niners and the Miami Dolphins or Joe Montana against Dan Marino.Everybody was talking about Dan Marino who had set the single season touchdown passes record that year with forty-eight touchdown passes, but Marino didn't do so great, throwing one touchdown but two interceptions for over three hundred yards.Joe won his second MVP and his second Super Bowl win.He learned that just because someone does something great one day or one season doesn't mean he will do it when it counts.This was important to Joe because it showed he was the NFL's best quarterback.
Joe learned many things during his life and I think mainly he learned to be patient to get what you want.He also learned that if you want to achieve something if won't just come to you, you have to go out and grab it for yourself.I think that those are the main things he learned through his experiences.

A Great Look at Great QBs
The book consists of selections by a panel that dissects the meaning of a great quarterback and then hunts down interesting insights and history about that player's career. As an example, every football fan accepts that Joe Montana is one of the greatest to play the game. Instead of running through endless, boring statistics and trying to argue "greatness," Montana's section is filled with stories from former teammates about his endless pranks, cool demeanor, and personality. Similarly, Unitas' section reveals personal moments of toughness and determination.

This is a great coffee-table-book that has tidbits for novices and fans alike. ... Read more
