College Career

Infobox
FYI, over at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Football_League#NFL_player_infobox.3F, we're working out the infobox issue, so it may be a little volatile for a few days while we work out the kinks and come to a compromise. Feedback is quite welcome. --Arcadian 22:15, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Super Bowl Issue
This issue has been addressed in the final paragraph of the article. There's no need to expound on it ad nauseum and introduce blatant POV commentary. It's an encyclopedia - not the Weekly World News. Hey Czabe, shut the hell up.
added stats
i added some stats up in here where i figured they should go(NFL records/statistics, before life after NFL) but i wondered if it messed up the flow of the article and so i posted this short statement describing my predicament.-Nod 22:56, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Links?
Anyone have external links to the 1999 Sporting News list and the 2004 TSN list?
More info
For one the of the greatest qbs ever he has only a paragraph to represent him at KC and the 49ers.
Who's Running this Nonsense??
What idiot let a Montana hater use this as his SoapBox to give Montana a kick in the balls by posting up that bullsh!t story about the SuperBowl. It was proven to be a lie, and last time I checked.. Encyclopedias dont talk about Gossip.. they base their Articles on FACTS. The pathetic admin losers that run this bullsh!t are a fuck!ng Joke.
New Eagle/Monongahela/Pittsburgh/Mon River/Pennsylvania etc.
Can we come to a consensus that JM is from New Eagle/Monongahela which are Pittsburgh suburbs/industrial centers and part of the Pittsburgh Tri-State famous for producing great football talent. Interested in hearing other views on this but I think that approach is the best for people searching for as much knowledge as possible about JM's origins. Thanks Hholt01 10:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Actually, if I may interject... I live in Monongahela, PA. We, nor New Eagle, are NOT suburbs of Pittsburgh. Monongahela is it's own City, and New Eagle is a seperate burough(sp). Thanks. User:Lawrence142002
Lawrence, check with every fed and state stat available, even other Wiki pages, there is a Pittsburgh Metro Area a Pittsburgh DMA and a Pittsburgh District all of which include New Eagle and Mon City. If that is in error let them know directly and also please turn your TV off, unsubscribe to papers, unplug the radio, cease any air travel and don't get too sick, you will have to travel or use Pittsburgh resources for any of these functions, these are some of the key stats that federal agencies use in including New Eagle in "Pittsburgh metro". Thanks Hholt01 05:06, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
We're in the Pittsburgh area, but I live here... We're not even in the same county. I'm saying it is an error to call us "Suburbs" of Pittsburgh. Monongahela is its own city, no matter how small or rinky-dink this place may be, it is still a "city" in the loosest terms. Previously, this article listed New Eagle as a suburb of Pittsburgh, which it isn't. I live here, I oughta know. Thanks.
- To me this is a semantical argument, McKeesport and Duquesne are CITIES, but in no way are they a Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle or Atlanta, they are suburbs of Pittsburgh. County lines have very little to do with anything since metros are determined by the feds and county lines are determined by the state and its underlings, the state can draw anything they want the feds don't care. If it works better for you I will continue to refer to the areas as "cities" in the Pittsburgh Metro Area or the like, I can agree that to some without geographic knowledge "suburb" is a gated community with pools and a Giant Eagle store something out of the Stepford Wives, which Mon City is most defintely NOT. So I'll keep it factual and will omit the cultural confusion that might come with "suburb". Mon City is as much Pittsburgh though as Greentree, Sharpsburg or McKees Rocks. Interested in hearing your thoughts, thanks. Hholt01 00:10, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't disagree with what you're getting at. All I was disagreeing with was the use of the term "Suburb". Suburb also would've implied we pay the same taxes that the people living in the city as well as McKeesport or Oakland or wherever else pay the same taxes, which we don't. Prime example is the sales tax. We even have a post office here in Monongahela, a Mayor, (Which suburbs of Pittsburgh wouldn't have) and we have our own council. That's what I'm trying to get across, and that's the point I'm making. Mon City is as much Pittsburgh as anyplace in this area. Just the use of the term suburb in this instance is/was incorrect. Thanks. User:Lawrence142002

Joe Schmoe????
As far as I remember his nickname was Joe Cool, not Joe Schmoe. 63.194.196.33 14:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Pro Bowl is not a post-season accomplishment
The Pro Bowl is the All-Star game of football. It is not a post-season event, as that refers to the playoffs. It just happens to be played after the regular season in football, but it's no different than the all-star game in any other professional sport. Therefore, "8 Pro Bowls" does not belong in the "Post-season records and statistics" subheading. Hero27 00:35, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Post-Retirement
No info on here about what he's done with his life after retiring from playing. I don't know much about him so I don't know - has he gone into coaching, or work in the media - or nothing at all? Anyone who knows could they please add a bit of info? Thanks. --Mike Infinitum 19:36, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Noticed a few things in the trivia - how about adding this into the main article as a posr-playing paragraph? --Mike Infinitum 19:48, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Not the first double AP MVP winner
Montana was also the first player in league history to win 2 Associated Press MVP awards, which he did for the 1989 and 1990 seasons.
Maybe he was the first to win the AP MVP twice in a row, but Jim Brown, who became the first AP MVP in 1957, won the title again in 1965. Respectfully, SamBlob 21:27, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
