Neither is quitting. Bang him up and he'd bounce back. Give, him the ball with a minute left and 90 yards to negotiate and he'd find a way to score. He left lesser mortals to figure out how. For two decades, from Notre Dame to the San Francisco 49ers to the Kansas City Chiefs, Montana played with a rare combination of grace and grit that made him not only a four-time Super Bowl champion but one of America's most beloved athletes. He could do everything except give up, until now. With his wife Jennifer and their four children at his side, with thousands of fans jamming an outdoor plaza to say goodbye on a cool, sunny Tuesday, Montana retired at age 38 in a nationally televised ceremony. Looking youthful in a blue suit, his hair tousled by a breeze off San Francisco Bay, Montana thanked the crowd for their support as they chanted, "One more : year, one more year..." A few moments earlier, he had formally announced his retirement at a news conference in a nearby hotel.

"I guess you all know why I'm here," he said with a smile. "I signed a new contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. Tm still healthy, Fm relatively in one piece. At this point, it's time to pull out the golf clubs," he said, pointing out that almost eveiy season for years, people have speculated on his retirement. "One year they were going to be right," he said. "It definitely felt like it was the right time," he added. "I don't know why, it felt like it was time to move on. I knew the day would have to come sometime, but it was also difficult to admit to myself that it was over." Bill Walsh, the coach who guided him and goaded him to greatness, acted as master of ceremonies. Joining them were former Super Bowl teammates John Taylor, Ronnie Lott, Roger Craig, Steve Bono, Dwight Hicks and Dwight Clark, executives from the 49ers and Chiefs, friends and relatives. Steve Young, the man who took Montana's job on the 49ers, was not invited. But if he felt snubbed, he didn't reveal it. "I've had nothing but respect for Joe for years," Young said from his home on the eve of the ceremony. "Our relationship was kind of like an older brother, deep end. e Stylewr ith Perfl n < )36CD St] A 1 1 TA 1 a ? r hd j Advanced dud ding a CD-Rom drive, and free Stylewriter II. printers in re 00!!

In the backyard, we'd be competing hard, bloodying our noses, fighting for domi nance. Look, let's face it, we both wanted the same job. ^ We both wanted to play. We're competitors. But when ^ the games came, we were always pulling for each other and working with each other. In all the years we ka were teammates, we never had an argument or even w UI a cross word between us." f0] Calling Montana the greatest quarterback he'd th ever seen, Young said the retirement announcement th was an occasion to think about what Montana meant er to football. w "If s a time for me to reflect on all those great moments when I was standing on the sidelines with my f jaw open, staring at something impossible he'd just ^ done," Young. Four NFL championships, three Super Bowl MVPs and an armful of records might be enough to qualify Montana as the best quarterback ever. For Young, Montana's legacy is broader. > "He taught me more than the nuts and bolts of footr ball," Young said. "He taught me that you can go be' yond your perceived capabilities and limits. You can go beyond what you or others think you can do. You , can push yourself to another level." iii ray i jp Gamecock Sports iter II GIv orma 61 4 r ^pple n S>V - ^ /lewriter II K1 n inf fnoUnrvlrvmr nv/^nn/^r rr\#Y*n 1nm?* . - uic-jci icv,miuiugy calcciw dumc laaci solution and speed: 360 DPI, 3 PPM. tegular Price: $275.00 Your On-Campus Source f Peripherals,and Software..
