Interesting Tidbit about the Super Bowl MVPs

[Obstructed_View]

A friend of mine was on a flight to Los Angeles from Dallas this morning, and Terry Bradshaw was in a nearby seat. He was at his daughter's house in Oklahoma for the Super Bowl.

Whether or not it's true, that mistake will cost him way more than 100 grand.

I agree, it is going to cost them in the court of public appearances and endorsements. Would it have killed him to watch next year's SB with his daughter instead and have shown up to this one?

I found a pic of Super Bowl XL's MVP:

It's funny that the SC fans didn't really complain about Vince Young's knee being down in a three point loss, but the Seahawks fans will never ever shut up about the calls that didn't really make a difference in their 11 point loss.

joe montona wanted $100 000 instead of the $10 000 that was given to each mvp.

I'm disappointed hearing this man, i loved Montana. Whats worse for both Bradshaw and Montana, I dont' remember which one it was now, but if it was Montana its worse, one of them was in Detroit earlier prior to the game and they were there on a paid appearance type of thing.
that stinks, but I loved Joe Willie Namath flashing the J! E! T! S! JETS! JETS! JETS! there!

we (NY Jet fans) fucking love you Joe!!! :tu

Montana, Bradshaw deny missing ceremony over $$
When the NFL unveiled its MVPs from the previous 39 Super Bowls, only three living members skipped the ceremony.

Former 49ers quarterback Joe Montana and former Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw decided to stay home, while former Dolphins MVP Jake Scott was traveling in Australia.

Montana, the league's only three-time Super Bowl MVP, and Bradshaw reportedly turned down the invitation over money.

Both denied the reports.

In a phone interview with "Quite Frankly" host Stephen A. Smith on Monday night, Montana vehemently denied forgoing the ceremony over money and reiterated that his absence was due to his preference to see his son's basketball game.

Montana told ESPN last week that he wasn't going to attend the Super Bowl because his son had an important basketball game he wanted to attend. Bradshaw, according to the Chronicle, told league officials he wanted to be with his family.

Montana said money was never an issue and that he would not have attended the Super Bowl ceremony even if the appearance fee had been greater than the $100,000 he was reported to have requested.

Former MVPs were given $1,000 for incidental expenses while in Detroit, along with other amenities such as plane tickets, car rental and game tickets.

Sources told each paper that Montana asked for a guarantee of at least $100,000 in appearance money.

When the league balked at Montana's demands, the quarterback declined to be in attendance.

Bradshaw, through a representative, denied the Chronicle's report that there was a dispute over money.

it was a grand not ten. and who really cares. maybe they asked for outrageous money so they wouldn thave to go. maybe they really did want to be with their family. can you blame them? or maybe theyre money hungry mothefuckers. if so how does that make them any different then all the asshole "sports stars" today that go from team to team and follow the money wtih no care for team loyalty or fanbase.

That probaly had something to do with Leinarts interception on the following drive that wasnt reviewed and was clearly a pick. Either way USC and California in general will always suck balls, so as long as there are unhappy Californians, im happy.
