ORLANDO — Joe Montana is getting worked up, and I am worried about his blood pressure. Seriously.

Here we were, sitting in a fancy downtown hotel room, sipping Starbucks and talking about, of all things, Montana's battle against high blood pressure, when suddenly the arguably greatest quarterback in history goes off on the NFL.

Montana and the NFL have issues, and the more he talked about them, the more animated and irritated he became. You could see the blood rushing to his face.

Good thing a cardiologist was sitting with us. And not just any cardiologist, either. This was Dr. James Rippe, a Harvard-trained physician, one of the country's leading heart doctors. Together, Dr. Rippe and Montana have teamed to bring awareness to high blood pressure.

Gee not the kind of stuff you want to read about in a football immortal...and he was in Orlando?...where?...darn it...I missed it...sorry Ross, I should have been on this gettting him to pose in a GoTeamsGo shirt...

Wow, if all that's true, what a fascinating story. Not so much the Montana stuff (well, to a lesser degree), but his comments about how they treat the older guys. Really makes me wish he would've gone into some more details.
