Joe Mantana is a world-class person all the way. Exemplary sportsmanship, achievements on and off the field, and remaining an icon to generations of admired fans. Thank you for sharing your wonderful moments with another 49ers Giant, Dwight Clark. RIP, DC.

Nice shout out to Eric Wright for being the other hero of that famous NFC Championship Game. Wright was the savior of so many games (including Super Bowl XVI) also shout out to Jim Stuckey for recovering the final Danny White fumble in '81 game

What a nice guy. Who wouldn’t want him as a friend. Class act.

Joe & Dwight were special to watch on the football field.

I was never a 49er fan. But I could never deny the fact that Joe Montana was the best quarterback ever!!!!!

Joe's eulogy of Dwight was beautiful. Great friendship created the first 49ers great victory

The best QB ever..He ain’t no ordinary Joe! and I’m a Chicago Bears fan.🙏🙏

Montana was the greatest QB I ever saw and a great guy. He could probably get out there and throw a td pass right now.

Joe Montana had it harder then any other quarterback. Back in the day there were no rules how to hit a quarterback today if you hit a quarterback the wrong way it’s a flag. If Joe Montana was playing today he would’ve won over 8 Super Bowls. If Joe Montana was in his prime today he would’ve beaten any Quarterback today. God bless you Joe you’re a real warrior he took a Lotta good hits and he came back and won two more Super Bowls

My Father had ALS and passed in '79, eleven days before my 21st Bday. Less than two years later the Niners began their reign. I always entertained the idea that my Dad nudged someone up there and the Football Gods smiled on the Bay. Thank you Joe & Dwight for being the catalysts of such a magnificent era. I was crushed when I learned DC was suffering from it. RIP Dwight.

Joe is a Legend

The Catch ? Thank you Joe & Dwight. I was in 7th grade & had a $5. bet with a friend that was a stinkin' Cowboys fan. Thank you, Joe & Dwight !! 😎

No one could haved loved Dwight Clark anymore than his family, friends and teammates did !!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOAT

Im glad he mentioned Eric Wright's tackle..because theit wood have really changed the complexion of the game...I can still see it...my heart went to my throat ..Joe is a class act

Joe Montana was ahead of his time, he was a prodigy, no quarterback ever will dominate the NFL like he did.

Best quarterback and wide receiver of all time

I love Joe Montana His the best

I am a Dallas Cowboys fan , I could listen to Joe Montana talk for hours, for his insight of one of the most amazing games ever I have seen ,he didn’t have to bring it up with the Erick wright ,Drew Pearson play, the game was not over.Again great story from a game that I did not get over for me for years.

So glad to hear Joe give a shout out to Eric Wright's game saving tackle. Without that tackle, the Catch wouldn't be remembered.

Joe Forever Joe Montana, the best QB.

He is simply the best.

A gentleman where some are not.

I became a Raider fan in 1977. I was 12 yrs old. Then the 49ers came about. What an AMAZING situation. A new offense nobody had ever seen and I was a kid so umm ya I was still learning. Bill created an AMAZING team with Joe, DC, JR, Ronnie and Roger. Man they were an beyond well oiled machine as time went on. Joe was 100% the best QB in his ear no DOUBT. I respect those whole damn teams back then. GO RAIDERS!!!!! lol

Joe Montana when he played for the Forty Niners are a Hard Act to Follow. Best Football Team I have ever Watched. I too don't watch Football last 5-7 years to busy doing other things the NFL and Players today are to Politcal

Love how much of a family that older 49ers team was.....it makes sense how much us niner fans loved these guys all the way to the owner of the team.

There are some legendary stories about these two guys. They always had the room closest to the stairwell in the team hotel, so they could sneak...

Montana is a class act. He was the best. My Grandfather used to teased me that he was Jack Wyoming.

Joe was the best no doubt. You would never think of losing in the last minutes with Joe in the game! Simple as that! Great chemistry between DC and Joe Cool! Awesome memories!

Clark would always torch my Cowboys. Looking back he was a great receiver. RIP Clark!

God blesd Dwight

to me he's the G O A T

1980s dominated by Joe, RIP no 87......DC will always be remembered

Joe Montana-human Mount Rushmore...A Titan on&off the field.

This interview is great. First of all...Joe just said that the Dwight Clark "Catch" was a play that they practiced many times. This should end the 40+ year debate about Joe just throwing the ball away and Dwight just happening to catch it. - Secondly, for me it was great to hear they lived in Hayward CA. - I not only spent over 40 years in CA / Bay area from 1979-2021 but 20 of them was Hayward. I once met Dwight in a Safeway grocery store and we talked for over 10 min. - He told me "The Catch" is what most fans ask him about. He also told me it was practiced with Joe, dozens of times. I was a huge fan of the Niners. I video taped that game as well as the first Super Bowl they were in. (Right after that.) (I still have the tape) I also got the DVD's of the 5 super Bowls they won. I will forever love Joe Montana, Steve Young and Jerry Rice. (They still have individual records that no other players have ever beaten.) I am grateful that I lived in the right place at the right time. I feel part of the well deserved celebration of a team so awesome, with great individual players as well as a smart and creative manager. It was just what I needed. (Moving from MN to CA in 1979, and watching the Vikings go to the Super Bowl 4 times and LOSE.) The 49ers will always have a place in my heart.This year Brock Purdy is looking like another future Joe Montana. Maybe they will win the SB again or maybe even the Vikings finally. I have mixed feelings. I now am back in MN. (Life is a weird thing...lol.) I left my heart in San Francisco. Now I finally understand the song. We will see what happens.

Joe, Montana, forever, the GOAT.

Joe seems so down to earth. It was fun watching him on Sundays. Thank you for all you have done. Take care.

Nice interview. Life takes its turns. For every thing there is a season. RIP Dwight Clark.

Just GREAT!

No doubt the greatest of all time ! But to me, the Catch was trailblazing and all that, but the third SB win against Cinn is a game I'll never forget taking the team 92 yards to win in the closing seconds and this is after telling Harris Barton that Uncle Buck was in the stands over there. Talk about being cool, that was our Joe !

Joe Montana will always be the coolest QB because Tom Brady is just weird and creepy. Joe was both the GOAT and also managed to stay sane and likable.

Such a regular guy.

JOE MONTANA 🏆🏆🏆🏆☝️(16)☝️🇺🇸 FIRST CLASS (GOD) BLESS YOU JOE ONE OF MY FAVORITE QUARTERBACKS OF ALL TIME✌️

I did a fundraiser with Dwight in 2012. What an amazing servant leader

When he first became known during the 1981 season, my Dad couldn't remember his name. Dad just knew it was a name like Jim or Jack or John. And the last name was named after a state in the West. So, he became "Jim Utah" in my family. By the time the 49ers beat the Cowboys to go to the Super Bowl, Dad knew his real name but we still love calling him "Jim Utah" out of respect to Dad. God bless Dwight Clark and Joe (Jim Utah).

Sometime in the early 90s, Joe and Dwight came strolling into the bar I was working at in Los Gatos, CA. It was a busy summer night at the Los Gatos Brewing Company. A new brew pub and restaurant at the time. The bar area was pack as word spread in about .3 seconds that these two very well know celebrities has just entered the area. Talk about grown, well-to-do, men and women, loosing all senses of themselves. They suffocated those poor guys with greetings and handshakes. Even the boss of the place on that night lost his mind to start pitching investment opportunities to Joe. It was crazy. Apparently, these types of situations were not new for Joe. And he came prepared. As about 20 grown adults surrounded both Joe and Dwight, Joe, in a stroke of brilliance reach into his pocket. In a flash, Joe thew down a nicely manufactured glass canister stink bomb. It immediately took effect and his clambering admires were running for breathable air. But Joe just stood there smiling, unaffected. It was brilliant. They were great guys that evening. Talking to everyone. Enjoying their night out.

I see there has been 4 raiders fans with thumbs down joe is and was the man

Legend

Class act..

Joe, hope you still get out and do some fly fishing. I know your dad enjoyed it.

When Joe was in his prime, when he hooked up with Jerry Rice that was it. In the 1980's the NFC dominated. The AFC won the super bowl once in 10 years. So in effect the NFC championship game was the real super bowl. In my opinion the 49ers had the least talent of the following teams from top to bottom: Bears, Redskins, Giants. The Giants had the most transformative devensive player: Lawrence Taylor. The 85 Chicago Bears had the most complete roster of dominance since the 1970's Steelers. And the Washington Redskins had the greatest offensive line ever. That's the conference of champions Joe Montana had to face, and let me be clear, they were multiple champions no less with the Giants and Redskins. Bill Walsh's talent was play calling. Bill Parcell's talent was telling his guys to do what was nessessary to take out Joe Montana. Cause Joe was bloodless in that he didn't rattle. Ever. In the '89 NFC title game Giant defensive tackle Leonard Marshall grabbed Montana's arm and snapped it. As great as the NY Giants were, they couldn't beat Joe Montana and Jerry Rice straight up. Bill Walsh retired too soon. But he and George Sefiert got it in their stupid heads that Joe had to be replaced by Steve Young. Now Steve Young is in the hall of fame, and he did beat the Chargers in '95 but he was foolish to force Montana out. He runs right into the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay which ended his playoff runs and gave him the concussions and shortened his career. Yeah Steve Young could run, but he wasn't close to Montana in overall ability.

Kinda funny, Joe commented on sharing an apartment w Dwight, that they didn’t get the big money that they do today! Joes only worth 80m!. As a chiefs fan, I love Mahomes, but there was something about Joe that’s only Joe. Perhaps it’s his humility on the field.

Always Joe 😎 Cool 👍 That had to be so hard 💪🏼

Class

Montana is the greatest quarterback ever. Dan Marino the greatest pure passer ever , Montana Is better than Brady? Imagine Montana and Marino in today's NFL in their Prime Wow. Play Watch the video on Dan Marino, Joe Montana Jim Kelly. And Joe Namath says it all there.

I saw this skinny little kid from Pennsyvania throw no look passes before it was fashionable cause all I could afford we're end zone tickets at Candlestick. Joe could move into the pocket and throw the ball 50 yards and it was right there.....I have seen magic.....

While Tom Brady has had the greatest career of any football player if you asked Tom Brady who his favorite football player is, he would say Joe Montana.

I think he looks better now than when he was younger, love the white hair

Interesting Hayward Wow Not a great place then and Now Thanks Joe and Dwight

Joe Montana will always be better than Tom Brady. If Montana was playing today for the Patriots instead of Brady, then they would have won all nine Super Bowls. In fact, when Brady has missed time, his backups have a better winning percentage.

Montana would have 10 superbowl rings if he was protected by the league like Brady is

Montana & Bradshaw never lost a Super Bowl game they started. The game was Real football then too. Brady did not play in the same type of game. He played when football was soft and he did lose in the Super Bowl. Montana was the GOAT. Then Bradshaw then Brady then Joe Namath. My top 4.

IF JOE QB IN 2020 SUPERBOWL THE NINERS WOULD HAVE WON!!

IM A BOYS FAN FROM AUSTIN TEXAS, JOE KOOL IS TRULEY A COWBOY KILLER AND THE BEST QB TO EVER LACE THEM UP RIP DWIGHT

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Your wife does look good lol

Dallas is STILL pissed about "The Catch"

Do you remember Nikolay Levashov? The one who helped but was betrayed?

As a former Steelers fan. Back when I was a kid, Terry Bradshaw was the man. Joe has came close to be his equal. Both 4 time super champs. Terry still has my pic. Today's NFL has nothing to yesteryear. Take a knee.

7 Cowboys did not like this video.

Maybe Joe should consider to train Jimmy G teach him his foot work and his scrambling skills that Jimmy G is lacking consider it a pass on down from Bill Walsh paying it forward if you will

Looks like he was a brawling boxer with that nose. He would not have lost to Eli but likely would've lost to the Hawks.

Joe was great because he was in the right system with Bill Walsh.
