Great interview! I must admit when I heard Joe say in this interview that when he went to the Chiefs, they had these little speedy wide receivers who were outrunning his arm, that made me smile. Willie Davis and I ran 4.3 in the forty and got up the field fast. I specifically remember a conversation about this during the first week of practice. Joe told us he was not used to our speed and had to get the ball out faster. He underthrew us a lot initially, but then he figured it out. Such a privilege to play with him.
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it. @@brodees
I remember seeing you guys play and thinking they are gonna beat every team this season.
We believed it, too. But when Joe went down with the concussion in the Buffalo game that took him out, we knew we were in trouble. @@sefros
Dude, longtime Chiefs fan.......loved the JJ Birdens, Willie Davis's, Derrick Walkers, Lake Dawsons.........combined with that defense, those were some great, great teams. As much as I love the Chiefs success the last 5 years, there is a part of me that will always miss the Chiefs of the 90's.
Lovely to be associated with your story of you and Joe. When you heard Joe was coming there must have been mayhem in the locker room?.
Similar to when Tampa gang heard of Brady
Those Montana to Rice throws were smooth and graceful to watch. Together they were poetry in motion. Best duo ever in my opinion.
Purdy and aiyuk is the next poetry in motion
Absolutely! I concur.
Purdy, CMC, Kittle, Aiyuk and Deebo, the best quintet ever in my opinion. Together they create music to my ears.
... except Steve Young threw more TDs to Rice (92 vs 67).
@@jetleeroy33 yeah, but Montana & Rice only played 6 years together. Young & Rice played 13 years together!
Joe is why I'm a niner fan today. He was my hero as a kid. Loved him, Rice, Craig, etc.
There are only two people in the entire world that I lionize. One is Joe Montana. The other is Captain Scully. Both men came through in the clutch.
Watching Montana, Rice, Craig, Lott, Haley, and other 9er legends in those amazing red and gold uni's was a sight to behold as a kid. 9ers fan to this day because of them and those that followed.
It's great to hear and see Joe is as cool and down to earth as you could hope.
Thanks for the memories Joe!
Go 9ers!!
That secondary with Ronnie Lott leading the way was something...Wright, Hicks, Williamson
Let's not forget Dwight Clark... with that "catch" against Dallas that brought the 49ers to its first Superbowl.
Brock is coming. He's next. I feel it.
@@shemp815 Dwight Hicks and his "Hot Licks"!!!
25 years before Mahomes came along; Montana gave us Chiefs fans two incredibly exciting years in 93-94.....even at 38 yrs old Montana was still awesome! I'll never forget the Monday night miracle comeback over Elway at Mile High....
That was a great game, Broncos thought they had it
I wasn’t born
I think he also beat the Niners on Monday night.
As a kid in KC, I was a Big Montana fan when he was with the Niners doing great stuff with Rice, so when he came to KC, was dream come true.
Love this guy. No offense to Brady, but still the greatest SB performer in history. The 🐐
Facts
nope
@@alexh7064 Uh, Fact!!! 4-0 in SB and ZERO INTs in all those games
@@artsilvaunbeatable, no ints is what makes it impossible
Facts.
The GOOOOAT. Undefeated in the SB. Bang Bang!
The goat. Montana only played in 4 super bowl. Because the entire 80s were nfc champ games being the real super bowl. Hard to think Brady could have won 4 on the niners in the 80s. Brady would have been life flighted after his 3rd year. No comparison. Brady is 2nd best sure. But he's not 4-0 with 13 tds and 0 ints in the big one. Montana is Jordan. Brady is leBron. Go to a bunch of Champs but also lose alot of them. Also. montana was always the best qb during his era. Brady maybe had 2 years of being the best qb in the league. Manning, Favre, Warner, Rodgers, mahomes. Most Years there were better qbs , even if the patd d won him superbowls. From 81-91, Montana was clear best qb .in reg season and playoffs. Marino in 84 is maybe the only year he wasn't the clear top qb. Brady 07 and 2014 were the only years he was top qb. Also bellichek Def was how Brady won alot. plus Vinatieri. Bellichek Def was almost the only d that could beat. Montana. Brady won 2 superbowls genuinely. The other 5 were defense /kicker carrying him. Doesnt negate his greatness, but he's just not as good or clutch as Montana. Brady #2
49ers were stacked on both side of the ball, abd Brady Jerry Rice would have been Brady Moss, you're trippin@@kenw2225
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💍💍💍💍💍💍💍
Yessss
@@kenw2225Montana may be undefeated, but he only played four super bowls, unlike Brady who played in ten of those winning seven of them. Winning seven super bowls is better than winning four despite only losing three of those.
My personal GOAT. Us DeBartolo Era 49ers fans had it real, real good. Today's team reminds me of that.
Niner fan that lived through the entire Montana era, my GOAT for sure!
"Yearning since you" is so true. My husband has been a fan since Montana, which hasn't been easy living in Wisconsin our whole lives. 49 Faithful. This is the year, it's time.
Best unexpected encounter with legendary QB of all time. Sunset-- Gummy--Joe Montana... "Am I dead? Is this Valhalla?"
Lmao😂
Watching Joe Montana hooked me into American Football, Montana to Rice, LEGEND!
Brady and Joe Cool
2 greatest of all time QBs
Joe was a better quarterback would've won just as many superbowls as Brady unfortunately the niners had no use for him,which to me as a niner fan at the time was mind boggling
They had another future hall of Famer riding the bench in Steve Young 😅
@@izuki1245 And that is what turned me off to the 49ers, it was a joke when Steve Young yelled "The Monkey is off my back".
@@izuki1245if the Niners win next Sunday they tie Pats and Steelers with 6 super bowls.
@@armandosuba3427 I would've preferred Joe
I was so fortunate to see greatness and grace on the field , no body did it better than joe and Jerry
How wonderful the world would be if we could just appreciate greatness regardless of comparisons and all the hate…
This is by far the greatest Joe Montana interview. Pat has a way of getting true
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for a memorable encounter I had during my first 49ers game in 1987 against the Chargers at Candlestick Park.
Embarking on the Dutch courage, I impulsively ventured to the very first row of the stadium during your warm-up. To my surprise, instead of reprimanding me, you graciously invited me to join you and led me to your family's seating area. Your wife, daughters, and mother extended their warmth, making me feel like an honorary member of the Montana family.
Throughout the game, your family's kindness continued, with high fives exchanged every time you scored a touchdown. This experience left an indelible mark on me, and I wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation.
Having recently watched an interview featuring you, I felt compelled to extend my gratitude once again. Your generosity and kindness have etched a lasting memory, and I remain grateful for that unforgettable day.
Thank for exemplifying not only greatness on the field but also genuine warmth and hospitality off it.
Kind regards,
A Proud 49ers Fan
Joe broke my heart when I was in junior high school and threw that pass to Dwight Clark in the NFC Championship game against my beloved Dallas Cowboys and Danny White, but I love this man, he so indeed so very cool.
You were a Dallas fan in Pittsburgh? Really?
@@SanFrancisco94118 No, I was living in Washington DC.
It's because of Joe that I came to love football. Great to see him.
It was an excellent interview with Joe Cool. Good to finally hear him open up about that complicated and unfortunate transition when George Seifert chose to go with Steve Young instead of bringing back Montana. Made me smile when he honestly said "Im not going to be Steve's backup, I'm better than him." I love Steve Young, but it broke every 49er fan's heart the way that team kicked Joe out and forgot that he was the reason the Niners even became a dynasty. I still supported Montana on Kansas City but it just wasn't the same.
So true
Woooooooooo that Steve young question was fire and Joe did what he does. Amazing
Best QB ever!
Olympics

Met joe montana by accident when living/working in SF. Saw a family friend of mine speaking to someone at a lunch table. could only see the back of the other guy's head. So I go up to my family friend to say hi as I'm heading back into my office and for a minute I'm just talking to my family friend and he says Ryan I want to introduce you to Joe. I turn and realized I just cold shouldered joe montana for a minute.
He says hi I'm joe, I stutter out something about oh my god nice to meet you mr. montana. he says call me joe. I look at my family friend and Joe can tell I'm like "why are you talking to joe montana rn..." Joe realizes and just says, I'm getting investment advice from Bunny (bunny was our family friend's nickname) and learning from the legend.
Dude was so humble he was calling my family friend a legend while literally being the GOAT (or pre brady GOAT) and im sitting there trying not to pee my pants with excitement. Just amazed at how chill he was...
What a down to earth, normal, awesome human being.
If you read this far, i dont really have a message other than what you see is what you get with Joe
Great story, thanks for sharing
I was with 4 friends at a bar in Santa Rosa California about a decade plus ago and Joe walked in. His ranch was up the road a few miles. Was mid-afternoon so was pretty quiet in the place except for a few others than our group. He basically joined in our bar chatter for an hour like he was just another dude. He might be a football legend, but for an hour with us he was just one of the guys. I also sat next to Keena Turner in that bar a different day. Same thing, just one of the guys. You describe them both perfectly, "down to earth, normal, and awesome", i'd add gracious as well. Thanks for your post, brought back some wonderful memories. Cheers
My favorite quarterback of all time. 4-0 in superbowls. And thank you sir for playing with my beloved Chiefs..we almost got there we just fell short. Love you joe.
I would of love to meet him he's the reason I love the 49ers he's really cool on and off the field long live mighty joe montana
As a 31 year old I would be star struck.
it's good to see guys from his generation talk about how it was back then... People just don't realize how harder football was and the level of ability these guys had to have to be able to do and accomplish what they did. These guys were OCs at the field, they knew more than coordinators know today. I don't think we'll see anyone be undefeated with 4 SBs again, ever. Montana is a master and to me he's second only to Young, because Young had the pressure to get into those humongous freaking shoes whenever the team needed him... and retired with the greatest passer rating of all time. What a duo!
I loved Joe growing up. He's my all time favorite player. I really enjoyed the conversation you had with him.
Great interview!!!! You got more out of Joe than I've ever seen. I've had the privilege to meet him a few times. One of my favorites of all time.
I love Joe...but people forget the only reason the 49ers moved on from Joe was because he was getting hurt a lot. Young was special for us too, totally different styles of QB, but Brock reminds me of him more than Young because he can do simular things but he has athletic ability that Joe didn't have, but Joe could move too, but injuries took away a lot from him. Still amazing QB and I hope as a 9ers lifelong, diehard fan that Brock becomes his own star on this team.
I totally agree with your assessment, but we can't act like Montana was soft... even a bit. Remember, Lt's hit on Thiesman didn't even draw a flag. Those boys got put in a meat grinder every sunday, it was a different era, and QB's were those choice cuts. Brock might be that guy, but we will see...
Brock has a little of Montana and Young. I think Joe had decent arm strength but elite precision. Young was a mobile QB who had a rocket arm. Brock has decent arm strength with elite precision and is mobile. He looked like Steve Young out there in 2nd half of the Lions game.
It wasn’t that he was getting hurt, but he was out for nearly 2 seasons… all of 1991, most of 1992.
In that time, Steve Young became the best QB in football. It was a tough situation, but it was the obvious decision.
@@Cocpainthat hit by Jim Burtt of the Giants would of retired most mortals
@@DebbieAlexander-ri3bv that's what I mean, football has changed, just like all leagues, basketball comes to mind, thats why the Jordan, James debate even exists...
Joe will always be "MY GOAT". Niners fan since 1980 and counting. Bang Bang Niners Gang 💯
Same here I came to this City from Philippines in 1980 and feel in love with the 49ers because of Joe Montana been a 49ers fan ever since Bang bang niner gang go for the 6th
His name is Joe Montana, of course he is always the coolest guy in the room
Joe is 100% the goat. If he played in todays league, he'd have 10 superbowl wins.
we don't live in a world of what ifs. we live in reality.
I just said the same comment. Good to hear someone else say it.
@@DeplorableJaredBrodersen you guys act like the era when Brady won his first 3 was that much different from when Montana went on his Super Bowl run. The biggest difference? Brady didn't have a HOF WR in Jerry Rice during those two comparable eras.
@@alexh7064 Yea but the refs made a BS call when he actually fumbled the ball against the raiders. TB should have never played in that Super Bowl. Tom always had refs giving him calls his entire career.
@@alexh7064 that's funny..neither did Joe. he had WR's named Freddie Solomon, and Dwight Clark for his first 2. Rice didn't come along until #3
Joe Montana!!! So nice to see him (i could watch hours and hours listening to him talking about the past).. A true legend and GOAT in his time! Thanks for igniting my love for football (being non US native) when I was very young!!! Hope you are well and all the best!!
Man I'd be peeing myself talking to Joe Montana. I met Jerry Rice once and I was besides myself for the next half hour. I can't imagine meeting Joe. Such a legend!
The GOAT, let's go 49ers. Thanks Pat McAfee show for this amazing interview
I cannot wait for the Super Bowl!! Bang Bang Niner Gang!!
😆 🤣 😂
Jets vs 49ers Superbowl.
Great to see you out there Joe. You need to be a presence in modern football 🏈 your knowledge and insight is needed more today than ever. 👍🏻
This was excellent, never seen Joe so candid.
Love this humble and terrific quarterback ... heck of a great man!
seeing joe and mj is like seeing a tiger in the wild, rare and always breathtaking 10/10 🏆
That's why his nickname was Joe Cool. 😎😎😎😎😎
I love everytime the camera cuts to the toxic table I can hear lighter😂
Love ya Pat! Gotta take some vitamins myself real quick😂
lol just now noticed that
I feel in love with Joe Montana during his championship runs. What a joy he was to watch! We were so blessed to have him. Once Steve Young started playing, I kind of lost interest in the game until now.
Speaks to how good the Niners were, that anyone could lose interest with a QB like Steve Young.
Love Joe. Had the pleasure of meeting him and seeing him play in KC.
This Super Bowl is going to be awesome if the chiefs win man 3 chips for mahomes and company. And if my 9ers win Kyle finally got over the hump .
How did he not ask about Joe stopping that kidnapper!? That one of my favorite clips from the show
💖💖💖💖💖 Joe Montana!!! The GOAT before THE GOAT!
Montana is my hero. I was in the Bay Area when he came up and took over from DeBerg and he changed football forever in San Francisco! Forty-Niner fever was a real thing thanks to Joe. I’m older than Joe but I look up to him. He’ll always be the BEST to me. Thanks for the memories, Joe!
I realize this super bowl with these two teams should be called the Joe Montana invitational
I watched this today and I instantly went back to the 80s dynasty run. Great memories and Joe will always be the Goat to me. Joe Cool
2 of my favorites. I’ve loved Joe since I can remember. When I was 9 living in central California, my uncle was a cowboys fan and gave me crap before the catch game for being a 49ers fan so I was instantly a huge fan.
I’ve become a big fan of Pat recently. Pat is a must watch for me now, he’s really the only reason I watch ESPN anymore.
As a kid I never watched the NFL. I only watched Notre Dame games. Joe Montana is the reason I started watching the NFL when I followed him from Notre Dame. Have been a 49ers fan ever since.
My favorite quarterback of all time. Thanks Joe for all the great games and memories. Salute to the best of all time.
Absolute GOAT. What a class act.
Here's Montana 🥇🥇🥇🥇
Here's Brady 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥈🥈🥈
Brady holds every playoff passing record in history and is a 5 time SB MVP.
Brady 4/5 of the top passing games in SB history/ Montana 0
Brady has thrown for +300 yards in the playoffs 18 times / Manning 2nd at 6 times
How's that for absolutes clown ?
I was 16 when super bowl 16 was played. Had a shirt that displayed "Roaring Back" 49 ers. Montana is my favorite Q.B. All time. Hope Brock can change my mind!!
Joe, you;re my all time fav NFL player, period!!! I liked how you explained losing your job to Steve. That is, it was nice to actually hear you come out and say it. And yes, Steve was good, but you were better. And like Jerry Rice says, you should have been able to compete to get your job back. Who knows HOW the '93 and '94 NFC championship may have turned out, with a proven QB who KNEW how to win tough games. And also......I hate that John Taylor gets forgotten so much, so thank you SO MUCH for bringing up his name. Like Rice, he was a great receiver, very talented at avoiding a tackle, and a super good sportsman. That Monday night game with the Rams, the 49ers were gonna lose that game, until John's two 90 + yard TD catches happened. THAT my friend, was super amazing. And YES, he;s hall of fame material. I seen this picture somewhere, of you three on the side line, on the bench, you were in the middle, Jerry on one side, John on the other. A picture worth framing, I say. Joe, I am no one to anyone, but meeting you would be on my bucket list.
I've gotta tell this story. In 1981, I was 15. And I badly wanted to see some of these no name teams rise up and start winning. I seen the 49ers go to Pittsburgh, and BEAT Terry Bradshall and the Steelers mid season. THAT impressed me. I was a fan from that day on,
and NOT disappointed. Also, a little shout out to Mike Wilson, backup, 3rd or 4th WR........he'd been there for ya all those years. We don;t see or hear much from him, but he seemed like a great sportsman, great guy. Thank you all.

Joe was the man
I am a Joe Gibbs redskins fan. Grew up in dc. One of first ever live games I saw with my Dad was the 81 niners team beat Theisman and the skins. … I despised Montana then. Now, I can’t stop listening to interviews with him. He’s the best. I really feel he is the goat. I know Brady has the bling. But nobody is cooler than Joe. Unreal respect for this man and the Niners.
I could just listen to Joe tell stories for hours. What a cool guy.
Outstanding great interview
Awesome Joe Mo interview
AWESOME interview. Great one, Pat! Love Father Joe. 🤘
Joe Cool :) Thanks for your time in KC!
One of the best interviews in sports. 🙏
Joe would’ve won more SB if they protected QBs back then like they do know.
Bring back Joe Montana football!
Sega went on to make NFL2k after they moved on from Joe Montanas sports talk football. Fans would call for 2k football to make a return before Sports talk football. Deep cut though.
Good job Pat. This is a great interview. I'm glad to hear Joe in such a humble and relaxed format.
I lived in Orlando & Joe went to the Chiefs. So I got tickets when the Chiefs played Tampa. Loved watching Joe, poetry in motion. Blowing out the Bucs, by 3rd quarter, all the Bucs fans sitting around me started cheering for Joe & the Chiefs. Loved every minute.
Best QB to ever play the game.
Really enjoyed that interview. Thank you.
What a great interview, one of the best I’ve heard from Joe. So interesting getting his feedback on Steve Young. Thanks for this!
As an Irish 49ers fan, I laughed at some of this but I would love to meet Joe
OMG that was awesome guys! I live in Kansas City and it was such a thrill seeing Joe in a Chiefs uniform! Classy guy!
There's still no one cooler than Joe.
Great conversation with Joe cool 😎
My 5 year old's middle name is Montana because of this guy! Go Niners!!!
Joe gives me a warm inspiration, I played with him so much in TECMO BOWL. lol when the other kids wanted me to play any other team I usually go home. That's when the other kids picked up I was obsessed with San Fran and some even asked why. The logo. the logo displayed a strong. message: (Strong Force)
Totally awesome. Love Joe! My dad was his HS coach.
Joe. Your the GOAT. What a pleasure to listen to. I met you once in Milpitas, true gentleman, keep on keeping on. 👍🏻
I was 10 when I met Joe at Ventures in KC. He was supposed to be signing items, but his injury prevented him from doing so. It was an awesome moment for a 10yo kid. Still wish I could have gotten my card signed those 30 years ago, but that's life. I know he's rooting for SF, but go Chiefs.
Best show on tv, podcast or however u watch it!! I been here watching Pat way before the blow up and I swear I love it!!!
Great to hear Joe talk about the mental demands of Walsh's Offense. A meathead would never have succeeded to the degree Joe did in that system.
You’re a Guinness guy? 😅 great interview. Love Joe & Pat.
Walsh and Montana! Legendary!
I’ve never seen any better film and footwork still today than the Greatest of All Time Joe Montana. He was absolutely incredible and a surgeon with the football. The grace, the touch, the timing. All in such a brutal era. Was grateful to say Joe and Dwight held me as a baby in 85’ during the Dynasty Days. No one more humble and a class act than the great “Joe Cool” aka JOE 3 : 1 6.
Joe Cool. What a legend. Great interview!
Montana Magic!!!❤❤❤❤
Played when they had to deliver the throw knowing they were going to get hit and not get bailed out by these new “roughing the passer” penalties. QB’s in today’s game know they can’t get hit low or get in the head, that wasn’t the case in Joe’s day they had to take the hit and still deliver the throws.
The qbs and wrs were getting demolished
@@YuckFouTube2 For sure, I'm amazed at how much teams throw over the middle now, especially the 49ers. When Ronnie Lott and that defense roamed the field, teams rarely threw over the middle.
OMG. I LOVE MONTANA ❤️💛❤️💛❤️
"In the Super Bowl the key to the game is that Brock Purdy doesn't have to be the best quarterback that Sunday but in the end does Brock Purdy's quarterbacking make the San Francisco 49ers the better team"- Ramon Johnson, former broadcaster for the San Jose State University Spartans...
Joe Montana, the greatest QB to ever spin the ball in my book. Smart, tough, accurate, mobile and most of all clutch.
I had a huge crush on Joe Montana when I was a young girl in the 80s. And it was so innocent: I was just floored by his energy and charisma and that basically he could command his incredible team (in my mind) to do such amazing things. Good to see he's such a down to earth person and the celebrity and physical demands of the game didn't ruin that.
Joe played with bruised ribs, wrapped up soo much you saw it through his jersey. The true 🐐
We love you Joe ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My all time favorite QB don’t care if Brady is considered the goat. I would still want Joe with the game on the line. More relaxed and cool.
I love Joe and he is the real a goat
There’s NO trying to be “”cool “” it’s either you are or you’re not!! Millions of people aren’t cool but millions of people are the absolute coolest because they’re not trying to be cool 😎
DUDE! Awesome interview ✌️😎
His the reason my mom loved the niners. And why now i have been a niner fan for 40 years!!!
Joe is like fine wine and keeps getting better.
Man, this guy is so smooth, so cool 😎
