not Joe Montana's style.
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.
Montana, who always had a joke ready even in the
most tense moment on the field, told a joke as he stepped

never say.
"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,

Calling Montana the greatest quarterback he'd th

was an occasion to think about what Montana meant er
to football.

"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
