Joe Montana Says Rudy Was Fake

I don’t know what’s bigger news to me…that Rudy Ruettiger didn’t get the sack nor carried off or that Joe Montana was on the Notre Dame team with Rudy. Here goes some of what old Joe had to say on the Dan Patrick radio show yesterday about the legend of Rudy.

DP: Were you there when Rudy was there?
JM: Yeah. It’s a movie, remember. Not all of that is true.

DP: What wasn’t true?
JM: Well, the crowd wasn’t chanting. No one threw in their jerseys. He did get in the game. He got carried off [at the end of] the game. [...] Back then they tried to play someone at the end of [the season] that all the seniors could get in the last home game. The schedule was kind of set that way. So he got in. He did get a sack. And then the guys carried him off, just playing around. I won’t say it was a joke, but it was playing around. He worked his butt off to get where he was and to do the things he did. But not any harder than anyone else.

Damn f-cking Hollywod. Next time I won’t be crying at the end of Rudy.
