Former Notre Dame QB Joe Montana speaks out on Rudy movie

Joe Montana’s son may be a walk on freshmen quarterback at Notre Dame, but apparently Joe Cool is not a fan of the movie Rudy. The made for movie Rudy moment at Notre Dame actually happened when Montana was playing there. When asked about it in a radio interview, Montana said:

“Well, the crowd wasn’t chanting. No one threw in their jerseys. He did get in the game. He got carried off [at the end of] the game. [...] Back then they tried to play someone at the end of [the season] that all the seniors could get in the last home game. The schedule was kind of set that way.
So he got in. He did get a sack. And then the guys carried him off, just playing around. I won’t say it was a joke, but it was playing around. He worked his butt off to get where he was and to do the things he did. But not any harder than anyone else.”

Paxico Burress denied jail work release

New York Giant Plaxico Burress is in jail serving a two-year sentence for illegal gun possession. In November 2008, Burress accidentally shot himself at a night club when the gun fell out of his pants. Burress applied for a work release program, so he could play football but was denied. This is the second time Burress has been denied for a work release program, having earlier applied in January 2010.

The NY Department of Correctional Services said, “The serious and negative impact illegal guns have on the community coupled with dangerous nature of the weapon discharging in a public place renders him unsuitable for work release participation.”
