You know that Joe Montana, that football fella? He got some Super Bowl rings, that’s for sure. Five? Nah, not five, four it was. This old gal knows, I watched them games, I did. He played for that San Francisco team, the 49ers, they called ’em.
He was good, that Joe. Really good. He could throw that ball, I tell ya. Threw it far and threw it good. He won four of them Super Bowl games. Four! That’s a lot of wins. He was somethin’ else to watch, back in the day. He got those rings, them shiny things. He got one in, let me think, 1982. That was the first one.
- First Super Bowl ring: 1982. I remember it like it was yesterday.
- Then he got another one. In 1985, I think it was.
- He kept winning, that Joe! Got another one in 1989.
- And then, one more, in 1990. Four rings!
They gave him a special name, too. MVP, they called it. Most Valuable Player. ‘Cause he was the best, you see. He got that MVP thing three times, ’cause he was just that darn good. He could throw that ball all over the field. Yards and yards and yards, he’d throw it. I don’t know the numbers, but it was a lot, trust me on that. They called that passing, I think.
He played for them 49ers for a long time. Won them championships, he did. NFC, they called ’em. He won a bunch of those, too. I don’t know all the fancy names they got for these games. But he kept winnin’. He was a winner, that’s what he was. That Joe Montana, he was somethin’.
That Joe Montana was 32 when he got his third Super Bowl ring in 1989. And the next year, he got another. Just like that other fella, Bradshaw. He was 30 when he got his third, and he got his fourth the year after that. They were both good, them two. Real good. Throwing that ball and winning games.
He threw that ball, that pigskin, I think they call it, and them other fellas would run and catch it. Touchdowns, they called ’em. And Joe, he got a lot of touchdowns. Eleven touchdowns in them four Super Bowl games. That’s what I heard. He got 83 of 122 of them passes. That’s a lot of passes! And no interceptions! That means the other team didn’t get the ball when he threw it. He was good, I’m tellin’ ya, real good. Joe Montana had a good passer rating, 127.8. I do not know what it means, but seems important.
He played for some other team later on, the Chiefs, I think. But he’ll always be a 49er to me. That’s where he won them Super Bowl rings. Four of ’em. Not five. Four. This old gal remembers. I saw them games, clear as day. He was the best, that Joe. They don’t make ’em like that anymore.
These young folks today, they got their own players. But they ain’t like Joe Montana. He was one of a kind. Won them Super Bowl games, he did. Made it look easy. It ain’t easy, though. It’s hard work, playin’ that football. But he made it look easy. He was just that good. Four Super Bowl rings. That’s somethin’ to be proud of. And that San Francisco, they were proud of him, too. You could tell. Everybody loved that Joe.
So, if you hear someone sayin’ Joe Montana got five Super Bowl rings, you tell ’em, “No sir, it was four.” Four shiny rings. And he earned every single one of ’em. He was the best there was. And that’s all there is to it. That Joe Montana, he sure was somethin’ special on that football field. He was the king of that field, runnin’ around, throwin’ that ball. Four Super Bowl wins. That’s a lot of winnin’. A whole lot of winnin’. And that’s somethin’, ain’t it? Four rings, I tell ya. Four. Not five.
That’s all I got to say about that. Joe Montana, four Super Bowl rings. He was a good one, that Joe. A real good one. They don’t make them like that anymore, do they? No sir, they don’t.
