That Time Joe Montana Spoiled The Real Story Behind "Rudy" | 09/08/21

[@jonnybaze7449]

Rudy is a great not because of football. It’s great because a guy that struggled scholastically due to dyslexia worked hard and ended up at one of the best universities in the country and inspired members of his family to get a college education.

[@jonnybaze7449]

[@roberthatch6230]

Seems like Joe is jealous cause more of the movie didn’t feature him . I think Joe Montana is the greatest quarterback of all time . But I guess you don’t get where Joe is without a little bit of an ego . All he was saying was the movie wasn’t all true . But I think there’s a hint of jealousy and a lot of ego …

[@betaomega04]

The movie is a lot more than the closing minutes. As someone that fought to go back to school later in life, this movie struck a chord with me.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Nooo, he said when some players carried Rudy off it was for fun, NOT a joke. And nobody was making fun of him. Joe was actually pretty complimentary about Rudy. I don't see any problems here.

[@Krillian777]

The players didn't put the jerseys down on Devine's desk, but a couple of players did go into Devine's office and requested that Rudy suit up. Apparently, Devine wasn't resistant, but embraced the idea as well as one of the assistant's in the room. There were people in the crowd supposedly chanting Rudy, but it wasn't the entire stadium, and he did make the sack and they did carry him off the field. I'm sure it was in good fun, but I don't think it was mocking Rudy....it was celebrating how this one hundred and nothing, 5 foot nothing nobody made a great play to end the game.

[@timothyedwards3623]

Thats why these movie say based or inspired by a true story

[@ryanhenson609]

Wrong. In this interview Joe said that all seniors got to dress and play in the play game. Divine said the same thing and he was pissed because this movie vilified him for no reason

[@TheDrewThornton]

Rudy got a half sack. Or so it appears in the original footage.

[@mikekelly5784]

Listen to Joe’s comments, then listen to them talk about his comments 11 years later. People hear what they want to hear Joe said “I’m not saying it was a joke” To have him carried off. Them commenting “Joe said it was a joke”

[@Mrraugut]

Exactly, Joe said nothing bad about Rudy. He praised him between 1:02 to 1:07. He just pointed out what was inaccurate about the movie and in another video Joe hinted he's stayed in touch with Rudy, who acknowledges its just a movie.

[@Burzurk1987]

@@MrraugutWho CARES?????? Joe is an idiot. He wants all the limelight for himself. What did it cost Joe Montana to grant Rudy a tiny amount of fame??? Absolutely NOTHING.

[@wisenheimer9997]

The fact of the matter is both stories can be true at the same time... some people were probably teasing Rudy (jerks) while others were probably appreciating the moment...

[@chriskiser4670]

Most of Rudy was embellished. He had no older brother, there was no Fortune "the black guy", he had no older brother, he didn't work in a steel mill, he worked at a power plant. The movie made no mention of his military service prior to going to college meaning that he would have been awarded the GI Bill.

[@Charleybones]

I believe Joe Cool. Montana has no reason to hype the Rudy story or to disparage it. All Joe did is give everyone a little reality check. and remind everyone that as always with sports movies there is a handful of script doctors punching up the script in order to make it as feel good as a feel good film could be to maximize box office success over the Christmas holidays. Mission accomplished, and Rudy should just be happy that he is a small footnote in a storied football team's long history.

[@Mrraugut]

He praised Rudy at 1:02. I've checked other interviews and Joe never badmouthed Rudy. He just dismissed inaccuracies and embellishments in the movie and that's it.

[@garypora7214]

@jamesmckenzie7049 I have seen other videos of Notre Dame players from that team speaking about the Rudy movie. According to them, only half of the things that appeared in the movie were actually true. I can't blame Joe at all as long as he's telling the truth. Yes, Rudy they say he worked hard just like many other players. He got into the game on the last play and got the sack and they carried him off the field. Hollywood's portrayal of Rudy as a hero is not true. According to his teammates, the crowd did not chant his name and nobody gave him their jersey. It did not appear real to me as I watched that film as Hollywood movies based on a real story are often only half true.

[@jrmiles73]

@jamesmckenzie7049I don’t think he meant nobody gave their jerseys I think he meant that not everybody did like in the movie. Probably a few people did and joe wasn’t one of them so he didn’t see it happen.

[@davidx9901]

@jamesmckenzie7049 I'm not sure what tone or content we would expect. For my part, Montana simply said what I've known from many other sources. What isn't being said here is that the depiction of players laying their jerseys on Devine's desk because Rudy didn't get scheduled, then the crowd shame-chanting a reluctant Devine into letting him play, well, that's the REAL mean spirited thing. None of that is accurate, and Devine (RIP) felt betrayed by the film for having painted him that way. He always backed Rudy, and never wavered, and that's a fact. I'd be more inclined to wink at the inaccuracies if they didn't smear a true ND legend in the process--Dan Devine.

[@toreckman8899]

@jamesmckenzie7049I disagree with you. Anything I hate is a embellishment

[@gsmith207]

Seaton response was the best. ‘Oh look at me…Can’t share the stage…” haaa! Was waiting for Joe to pop out any second And say “what did you say?” Makes me chuckle. Thanks

[@metalmacabre9991]

That guy is probably why participation trophies exist. 😂

[@TheDrewThornton]

Rudy wasn't even worthy to carry Montana's jock strap. And as a lifetime Bengals fan, I hate Montana.

[@mick40jb]

Other players have also come forward and said similar things that Montana said especially about 'laying the jerseys on Devines' desk'

[@ashleywetherall]

Even Rudy has said that was Hollywood. Also he said that there wasn't one friend who helped him and one janitor.. There were lots and lots but the put them all togethers in one or two characters. I just think it came off like Joe took a cheap shot. Its that Jock mentality where you have to be better than the next guy..

[@Mrraugut]

@@ashleywetherall But Joe didn't take a cheap shot. He praised Rudy at 1:02 and seems like they're manipulating his words to make Joe look bad.

[@metalmacabre9991]

​@@ashleywetherallno he didn't he just lifted the vale of bullshit, because people believe every movie they see when it's based on a true story. The operative word is based.

[@JayRacer]

Just came here to say the exact same thing. I remember Bob Golic dispelling some of the hollywood embellishment. Some of the other players who have commented on the movie were way more blunt than Joe. Additionally, Dan Devine was very disappointed with the way they inaccurately portrayed him as he was actually instrumental in Rudy staying on the team.

[@TheDrewThornton]

Them guys wouldn't have dared to lay their jerseys on Devine's desk.

[@ylekiote99999]

Let me fill in some other details for you......Michael Ohr from the movie "Blindside" Didn't just start playing football in high school, Pitcher Jim Morris from the movie "The Rookie" didn't just walk in to an open pitching practice, or throw a ball past a highway speed sign. Vince Pappale from the movie "Invincible" only recorded 9 reception yards in two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. He also wasn't a walk on, he was invited. And last but not least folks.....Rubin "Hurricane" Carter did actually murder 3 people in a bar. A simple google search will confirm all these facts. It's called "Artistic License" and Hollywood can make anyone a hero if they want too.

[@GeneralBuckNaked]

To be fair, the Vince Papale part isnt really saying much.. They never claimed him to be some "great receiver" in the movie. Just a guy who was quick, n was just good enough to play special teams.

Moneyball: The 2002 Oakland A’s success was due to the performance of players acquired through scouting, including the Cy Young award winner and AL MVP. Billy Beane acquired a few role players who absolutely did not tip the scales to win games. The A’s already had an ace pitching staff not mentioned in the movie whatsoever. Beanes moves were overblown to almost comedic levels.

[@metalmacabre9991]

Obviously there was creative liberties taken to make a movie. It's still a great movie.

[@adamrobinette6832]

Like every single biographical movie takes creative license for dramatic effect. Joe didn't have to be a dick about it. It made it worse because the media took his quote out of context, to remove all things complimentary and still do to this day, to make it sound even more dickish than it was. But Rudy getting where he got from where he was and Joe getting where he got from where he was are both incredible stories even without the dramatic license. Joe was such a snob about it though. Like somehow Rudy tarnished his legacy or something and he still wasn't over it, because there wasn't a Joe Montana in the movie.

[@andyinoregon]

The only thing I think about when I watch the film "Rudy" is that actor Jon Favreau was cast in the wrong movie about Notre Dame. He should have starred in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame."

[@humphreygruntwhistle3946]

Yeah, but Montana has also made a point of “setting the record straight” in other interviews as well. Why? Good grief, just let it go. There’s clearly something that gets under Montana’s skin whenever Rudy’s name comes up. It’s just weird.

[@Kagemusha08]

They guy's whining clears are waaaaayyy too invested in a fictionalized story and are bitter that someone actually great at sports ruined their hero.

[@Ruouiji]

Hollywood dresses things up their way, to make movies more "entertaining", according to their ways of doing things. An accurate portrayal of the subjects would be better. I always wondered why "Rudy" was called "Rudy". There were many kids in the family, they all had the same last name, and they still call him "Rudy", and he was the only 1 who was called that name LOL? Well, it made for a good story, but I always knew it was not very accurate. I believe Montana's take on it, he was there, we were not!

[@davidx9901]

Rudy was the firstborn, unlike what the movie showed. Perhaps he picked up that nickname as the first of that family at his school.

[@billmckinney1441]

The biggest "Hollywood Treatment" in the movie Rudy was not what was embellished but what was left out. OK, Great movie, insprational story about persevering and continuing to follow your dream against insurmountable odds. But, movie added things that just weren't true. As a 1977 Notre Dame grad, I was not only at the 1975 game but on campus 4 years living the Notre Dame experience. OK.... What was left out was that although he was undersized and lacking major college talent, Rudy was a 27 year old man in that 1975 game. He was born in 1948 and joined the Navy and worked in a powerplant years before Holy Cross JC then Notre Dame. The movie would lose some of its message if Rudy was shown as a mature man instead of naive kid as effectively portrayed by Sean Astin. Hollywood juggling the facts and outright eliminating a crucial one.

It’s sad how much these guys feel the need to cling to a happier version of reality, even if it’s not true. And Montana didn’t say it was a joke, so their characterization was wrong too.

BOO HOO (*SNIFFLE, SNIFFLE)! Of all the storylines dyslexia (RUDY), doesn't compare to autism (RAIN MAN)! Many people with dyslexia go on to live a great life, just like people with color blindness, or many other deformities! Hard to top autism unless coupled with other afflictions! Joe Montana doesn't SUGAR-COAT!! Neither should anyone! F#(k you!

[@lastpme]

That was so petty….Joe could have left that alone.

[@GeneralBuckNaked]

Im pretty sure most people already knew that stuff even before Joe said it. Cuz it had been talked about by other players before that. But still, Joe is a dick lol. Rudy is the man

[@B-Mag]

He was asked a question and he told the truth

[@ccramit]

It's a movie. Of course they are going to embellish some things. Rudy still worked his butt off for the team, but it'd be a pretty boring movie if it was just him studying and showing up to practice everyday. Even the real Rudy has come out and said the movie embellished facts. It's a fun movie, everyone relax. I don't see why Joe doesn't just show some class and say the same thing. "It's a movie that took some liberties, but Rudy is a great guy and the movie was great." It's really that simple. He seems kind of petty talking about it the way he does.

Maybe you guys live in fantasy and joe lives in reality. Typical media, looking for an angle. Make a living on stirring the pot. If u don’t like the answer, maybe u shud not ask the question.

[@robertburch3813]

These commentators wish they could be as committed as Rudy or as gifted as Montana. But they aren’t so they sit and blab all day and stir up controversy.

[@izzy2802]

Lol

[@mikyl-fo8rh]

Joe who?

[@KcEverythingg]

Joe broke my god damn heart

[@DisgruntledPigumon]

No, the liars who wrote a bunch of nonsense and made a movie about it did.

[@Mrraugut]

Joe said nothing wrong though. The way I see it, they're manipulating the story. Listen carefully at 1:02 and Joe praised Rudy.

[@rockrollman65]

Rudy got into notre dame and a game. You didnt!!!!

[@123mathtutorabc4]

Jon Favreau ≠ Vince Vaughn

[@donrohr5594]

Vince Vaughan was in Rudy too. He was on the team with Rudy.

[@danielbendavid3457]

How was an A-Hole for that

[@jfountain2]

I didn’t even know Montana played for notes dame

[@alecbarrett3607]

Rudy has inspired more people than Joe Montana has.

[@negtype13]

Have fun trying to prove that one.

[@BillyBob-jb3yy]

Come on Joe why ruin it enjoy the show it’s a great movie I lost all respect for Joe wow jealousy at its best Rudy busted his ass to make it Joe sure didn’t That’s the best motivational speech ever ever Noe he makes 0 alcoholic Guinness beer wow what an achievement

[@mickylawless1941]

Rudy, as a movie, was okayish. Watched it once. That was enough.

[@basketcas3717]

I've read several stories citing montana as being a dick for more than one reason. Obviously, one of those reasons is him trashing the movie Rudy. Yeah, it's Hollywood. we know it's likely exaggerated. That's what they do. When he said the teammates that carried Rudy off the field as a joke instead of celebrating with him was messed up. Especially when another teammate that played with Rudy said that they were genuinely happy for Rudy because he was so excited to play. Idk just that and reading other stories about him is upsetting because you think he'd have more class.

[@negtype13]

Did you not listen to what he ACTUALLY said?? He clearly stated, "I WON'T say it was a joke but playing around." He also said, "He worked his butt off to get there and do the things he did!" Telling it straight is NOT "trashing/being petty" people. Then again, it's even more perpetuated by the guys here making the same misconception and you'd think THEY'D pay better attention as they have their own show. Talk about over-sensitive.
