This Sunday, February 3rd marks Super Bowl XLVII between the AFC Champion Baltimore Ravens and the NFC Champion San Francisco 49ers. As a devoted Steelers fan, it is a two edged sword as to who we would prefer to win the Vince Lombardi trophy. While there is a much publicized hatred towards the Ravens, Steelers fans do not want to see the 49ers tied with the Steelers in the number of Super Bowl championships which would be six with each dynastic organization. Either way, it should be a great match-up of East coast vs. West coast and the Harbaugh brothers.
Featured here is an illustration I created awhile ago of 4X Super Bowl champion quarterback, Joe Montana. Joe was amongst the great “cradle of quarterbacks” here in western Pennsylvania. He grew up with my father in the once steel booming town of Monongahela which is a short drive from Pittsburgh. My father was the starting QB at Monongahela High School where he earned a scholarship to play at Ohio University. Unfortunately, his playing days were dashed in the late 60’s when he was drafted during the Vietnam war. Joe would follow a few years later to play at quarterback when the high school converted its name to Ringgold High School. Joe would go on to have a successful football career at the University of Notre Dame and win four Super Bowl championships with the San Francisco 49ers.
