Montana OK after surgery
SAN FRANCISCO — Quarterback Joe Montana was moved from the surgical intensive care unit of St. Mary's Hospital yesterday into a regular hospital room to begin his convalescence from back surgery.
Montana, who led the San Francisco 49ers to two Super Bowl titles, had surgery on Monday for the removal of a disc in his lower back. The procedure also cleared away tissue that was pressing against spinal nerves because of a congenital narrowing of the base of his spinal column.
However, doctors are not yet ready to make a determination on Montana's future in football.
"We haveen't talked to him as of yet because he is still pretty groggy," said San Francisco 40ers head coach Bill Walsh. "But we've been told he is in excellent spirits."
The 49ers coach said Montana was expected to be in the hospital for no more than five days and then take 12 to 14 weeks to get into playing condition.
NFL admits referees blew it
Steelers that cost the Broncos a touchdown in the contest they ultimately won 21-10.
With Denver leading 14,10, with 9 minutes 45 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter Monday night, the Broncos faced a first- and 10 at their own 21. Quarterback Elway dropped back and sent a lateral to his left that running back Gerald Willhite grabbed at the 11. Willhite moved forward to the 15 before releasing a pass to Steve Watson, who went untouched into the end zone.
However, the on-field referees ruled that Elway's connection to Willithe was a forward lateral, therefore making it illegal for Willithe to attempt a second pass.
Following a short argument by the Broncos, Denver ran another play before the instant-replay official upstairs in the pressbox, Paul Trepinski, was able to notify referee Bob McEwee that the previous play had indeed been legal and should have been rued a touchdown.
Student charged, dismissed
MONROE, La. — Northeast Louisiana starting tight end Chad Peterson has been kicked off the team following his arrest on a charge of distribution of cocaine, head coach Pat Collins said yesterday.
Peterson, 21 and a two-year letterman from New Iberia, La., was arrested at the university after practice Monday, police said.
