Young now out of Montana's shadow
49ers quarterback leads team to Super Bowl game
The Associated Press
title game. He became the only quarterback other than Montana to lead the 49ers to a Super Bowl.
SAN FRANCISCO — He gets the same questions after every big game.
"Will you ever step out of the shadow of Joe Montana?" Steve Young is always asked. "Can you be considered a great quarterback until you've won a Super Bowl?"
Now, after four years of being known chiefly as Montana's successor, Young is one game from answering those questions.
Young had two scoring passes and ran for another touchdown in San Francisco's 38-28 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Sunday's NFC
"I honestly swear to you that I have not felt that monkey on my back," Young said of trying to live up to Montana's feats, including four Super Bowl titles. "If he was there, he was very light."
He is the league's MVP this season. But he had been unable to get the 49ers past Dallas in the previous two NFC title games.
Statistically, Young has been the best quarterback in the NFL for the past four years.
On Sunday, Young kept the Dallas defense off balance all day.
He was only 13-of-29 for 155 yards passing, but had two touchdowns and no interceptions. And he added 47 more yards on the ground, including a 24-yard run.
Cowboys' Haley retires
DALLAS — After tasting bitter defeat on a field where he had long played, Dallas Cowboys All-Pro defensive end Charles Haley is retiring.
The Associated Press
Hayle, 31, announced the news after the Cowboys' 38-28 loss to San Francisco in the NFC title game Sunday.
"The bottom line is that this was my final football game," Haley was quoted as saying in yesterday's Dallas Morning News. "That's it for me. I've had a great time in Dallas, but it's over."
Haley, who played nine seasons in the NFL, was the key ingredient to the Cowboys' pass rush the past three seasons.
Steelers stunned; Chargers head to Super Bowl
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — San Diego Chargers wide receiver Tony Martin is going home to play in the Super Bowl. Stan Humphries will be there, too, but this time as the starting quarterback, not an inactive third-stringer.
The Chargers completed an improbable run to their first Super Bowl thanks in large part to Humphries, a discard from the Washington Redskins three seasons ago, and Martin, deemed expendable by the Miami Dolphins in the off-season.
Humphries threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to Martin with 5:13 left to give the Chargers a 17-13 win over the heavily-favored Pittsburgh Steelers in Sunday's AFC championship game.
"it's going to be extra, extra special," said Martin, acquired from the
A goal-line stand, which ended when Chargers linebacker Dennis Gibson batted down a pass by Neil O'Donnell, assured San Diego a trip to Miami's Joe Robbie Stadium to face the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl on Jan. 29.
Dolphins in exchange for a draft pick in March. "It's in Miami. I'm playing in my home town. All my family, friends and relatives can come see me play. It's going to be lovely."
Just like his big touchdown catch.
Just like his big touchdown catch. Humphries already had thrown a 43-yard touchdown pass to H-back Alfred Pupunw, who got wide open when the Steelers' secondary bit hard on play-action, to pull the Chargers to 13-10 with 8:03 left in the third quarter.
Then, on third-and-14 from the Pittsburgh 4. Humphries provided
the decisive play.
Martin went deep, got a few steps ahead of cornerback Tim McKyer, made a leap at the goal line and hauled in the pass.
The play stunned more than just the 61,545 fans at Three Rivers Stadium.
All of Pittsburgh, and many points beyond, had expected a Steelers' rout.
"Stan has a lot of confidence in his receivers in every situation and we have a lot of confidence in Stan to get us the big play," Martin said.
Check the schedule: NHL faces off Friday
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — NHL players didn't waste any time getting back to training camp. Now they're looking for a fast start to the season.
"It's like a tournament, every game is so important now," Wayne Gretzky of the Los Angeles Kings said. "With those first seven out of eight at home, if we can get off to a really good start, it's going to give us some momentum and give us a tremendous amount of confidence."
The same can be said of the NHL's other 25 teams as they look ahead to opening dav next weekend.
Eight games will be played Friday, including one featuring the New York Rangers raising their Stanley Cup banner at Madison Square Garden.
It's the first time in training camp for the players since they were locked out by owners right before the scheduled opening of the season on Oct. 1.
Training camps opened Friday for many teams and continued to open today.
"It's a lot better than people probably would expect," Gretzky said. "It's such a pressure situation, you've got to be in shape all year round. You can't just show up at training camp anymore. The players keep themselves in pretty good condition 12 months of the year.
Gretzky said that despite the layoff the conditioning of players would be good.
"You can see the tempo of the practices, even without the coaches out there yet, it's still pretty high tempo."
Only a simple 51 percent majority was needed to ratify the contract approved earlier this week by the players' bargaining committee.
They got more than enough votes to put the deal over the top. Union spokesman Steve McAllister said that as of Friday night, 85 percent of the players had voted to ratify..
Many players felt they had given up
While ratifying the deal by an overwhelming margin, the players were not totally enchanted with it. Brett Hull of the St. Louis Blues called it "a terrible deal."
"I think a lot of players in the league were feeling the pressure of not getting a paycheck," Hull said. "A lot of them were worried about what would happen if the season was canceled."
Wayne Gretzky Los Angeles Kings center
too much to the owners, particularly in the area of free agency and salary arbitration.
The players did have one victory following the arduous negotiations, though: no salary cap. It was the one issue they refused to give any ground on since the start of serious negotiations four months ago.
Now the league will need to go into its hurry-up offense to get players ready to restart a 48-game season in a week. It will be the first time the NHL will have a 48-game season since 1941-42, the 11th and last time a schedule of that length was played.
