Top 10 NFL Feuds: #7- Montana vs. Young

A confused Steve Young reported to Niners mini camp yesterday baffling coaches and reporters as he boldly proclaimed this was the year "we finally get over the hump against those Cowboys". While many didn't know what to make of it, the serious nature of the situation became apparent as Young strapped on his old L.A. Express helmet from the USFL and began slapping the asses of everyone...

There has been a lot of talk about the interview I did on HBO's Real Sports. I have no apologies. I was asked a variety of questions and I answered them. The fact that the producers and publicists at HBO decided to focus on those answers that related to race shows that it remains a hot topic in society today. Let me address some feedback... ...

Earlier in the night, Steve Young took on ESPN by calling the network "dumb", but it was his professionalism when battling thrown cups that really impressed me. Here is Young avoiding a plastic cup thrown at him during the postgame and not missing a beat during his analysis....I'm not condoning the act in the least, but if you're going to be the douchebag that throws an object at...

The Niners will retire Steve Young's #8 during their home game on October 5th vs the New England Patriots.A "Steve Young is an important part of the 49ers history and tradition," 49ers owner John York said of the Hall-of-Fame quarterback who was the NFL's MVP in 1992 and 1994. "He combined talent, character and a tremendous work ethic to become an incomparable...

This morning on ESPN's NFL Countdown, the talking heads (John Clayton, Steve Young, and Trent Dilfer, specifically) have been razzing Ben Roethlisberger for being a drama queen and for needing to be the center of attention for how he milks injuries.The irony of course, is ESPN calling someone out for needing to be the center of attention, which is WWL's modus operandi. They...

There's only one entity that could best NBC's thirteen-man production, and that entity is ESPN. I lost count around the number 20, so we'll go with say....26 people. That's how many employees ESPN is sending down to Florida starting this weekend. And while that number is defintely large, it's the production elements that will blow your mind. ESPN will air...

The Super Bowl is only days away. People are already making their way to Arizona to start eating, drinking, and listening to athletes screw up on Media Day. I have received some information on a few events occurring in the Scottsdale region. Here they are: * Why not start off the discussion by promoting a Super Bowl Blogger Party?

Before last night's Panthers vs. Bucs game, Emmitt Smith took a moment to break down Steve Smith's brawl with teammate Ken Lucas. "It's pretty special," Emmitt Smith said, referencing the training camp scuffle that left Lucas with a busted face. Steve Young, channeling his inner Mormon, immediately questioned Smith's stance. Per usual, hilarity ensued. Roll tape.

Frank Gore needs 966 yards on the ground to move from No. 9 to No. 5 (behind Garrison Hearst) on the 49ers all-time rushing yards list. Gore currently has 3,405 yards, and he realistically can surpass Steve Young (3,577), Kevan Barlow!! (3,614), Hugh McElhenny (4,288) and J.D. Smith (4,370) this season. Hearst is at 5,535, so I suppose Gore could get there with an incredible season...

Hey ESPN, can you do me a favor? STFU about Brett Favre. Seriously. Devoting the front page to him after it was rumored he had an "itch" to come back and play? Complete bullspit. Use some common sense guys. Do you honestly think that Favre would not get an "itch" to play again? Hell yeah he's going to get that itch. If you went through as much as he...

I have always enjoyed watching Sam Cassell, in no small part because it is apparent that he takes very seriously what Steve Young would call the "craft" of playing his sport. Relative to top NBA players, Cassell never possessed great size, speed or jumping ability, yet he has always been able to get off--and make--his shot in pressure situations. Cassell won two championship...

The Chicago Bears are known for their defense. The Denver Broncos are a running team. The Indianapolis Colts are a receiving team. And the San Francisco 49ers are known for their quarterbacks. But how can the team live up to the status of great quarterbacks with their current load of quarterbacks? Who can follow the steps of Joe Montana, Steve Young and Jeff Garcia? Let's look...
