When the NFL unveiled its MVPs from the previous 39 Super Bowls, only three living members skipped the ceremony.\n\nFormer 49ers quarterback Joe Montana and former Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw decided to stay home, while former Dolphins MVP Jake Scott was traveling in Australia.\n\nMontana, the league's only three-time Super Bowl MVP, and Bradshaw reportedly turned down the invitation over money.\n\nBoth denied the reports.\n\nIn a phone interview with ESPN2's Cold Pizza on Monday night, Montana vehemently denied forgoing the ceremony over money and reiterated that his absence was due to his preference to see his son's basketball game.\n\nHe'd told Cold Pizza last week he wasn't going to be at the game because his son had an important basketball game he wanted to attend. Bradshaw, according to the Chronicle, told league officials he wanted to be with his family.\n\nMontana said money was never an issue and that he would not have attended the Super Bowl ceremony even if the appearance fee had been greater than the $100,000 he was reported to have requested.\n\nFormer MVPs were given $1,000 for incidental expenses while in Detroit, along with other amenities such as plane tickets, car rental and game tickets.\n\nSources told each paper that Montana asked for a guarantee of at least $100,000 in appearance money.\n\nWhen the league balked at Montana's demands, the quarterback declined to be in attendance.

I do! I think TO is the man and I don't care what the Eagles say about him, they didn't make it to the Super Bowl before he got there so yes, they did need him! There are players that are great by themselves and there are players who makes everyone around them want to be great, too. TO is the latter. :)

Ok, so let's think about this.  Peyton Manning is the quarterback.  When he was at Tennessee, he had an opportunity to beat Nebraska and win a National Championship.  He didn't get it done.\n\nHe has had many opportunities to win the big one in NFL, and he could not get it done.  He couldn't even win the Pro Bowl this year.  This is a quarterback that is so good, and the talent around him is so good, the Colts ought to be able to win in the Playoffs.  But Peyton chokes when there is something more at stake.\n\nForget the best quarterback never to win a Super Bowl (i.e. Dan Marino, Jim Kelly), how about best quarterback never to make it to the Super Bowl.

What're his career highlights? Stinking it up in the only Super Bowl he led his team to? Being benched for Tom Brady, then cut for JP Losman, and now benched for Tony Romo? Choking in key games? Seriously....the man has nothing but slightly impressive statistics, went to the big dance all of once, and hasn't won ANYTHING. I'd love to see his play-off record, for example...

Nobody, the Super Bowl was created so that the champions of the American Football League and National Football League after the 1967 season.\n\nGo to the NFL website to learn about past NFL champions, including the 1950s.

Super Bowl V in January 1971 (following the 1970 season).  MVP was Chuck Howley, linebacker for the Cowboys who lost to the Colts 16-13 in the first Super Bowl played after the NFL and AFL merger.  The Colts, along with the Steelers and Browns, had just started playing in the AFC with the 10 teams from the AFL.\n\nDue to the number of turnovers between the two teams, Super Bowl V has always been dubbed the "Stupor Bowl."

A BACKUP for Boller?? Are we smoking crack??  The Ravens want McNair because they need a QB that doesn't suck, which Boller does.  McNair, in case you've forgotten, was the 2003 co-mvp, (should've been solo), and missed his Superbowl ring by a foot.  He's been the face of the Titans since they've been a team, and is one of the hardest working players in football.  Tennessee is treating him like a bum, the same way they did Eddie George, and look what happened there...  McNair will look good in any uniform he dons, but he should be alllowed to finish it out in some Titans blue.

I'm surprised he wasn't picked to replace Brady.  But when you look at just pure numbers, Manning, Palmer and Brady all put up more than him.  Fans saw the TD's and voted for them instead of Ben who probably deserved it more.

Peyton is the best QB right now definitely. He is a great QB. People always want to include team success with individual attributes. Terry Bradshaw was a decent QB that happened to be on some great teams. Winning Super Bowls doesn't make you a great QB. Look at Big Ben, how great is he? Trent Dilfer? Brad Johnson? Mark Ripien?

Oh get a grip to people picking active QBs, espically ones like Brady. I can't pick a greatest of all time. You have different eras and changes in the game. Now that said I would say Dan Marino would always be on the list of the best. This despite never winning the Superbowl, and only going once. That proves how much better he is then these ones that do nothing but go to the Superbowl. After all who would know who those guys are if they weren't going?

On December 23, 1972, in Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium, Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw faced a 4th down and 10 with 22 seconds left, trailing the Oakland Raiders 7-6.\n\nBradshaw threw a pass towards fullback John 'Frenchy' Fuqua who was being covered by Raiders safety Jack Tatum. Tatum hit Fuqua and knocked him to the ground near the Raiders 35 yardline, and the ball sailed backwards to the Raiders 42.\n\nSteelers running back Franco Harris was blocking on the play, but slipped out as a receiver. He was covered by Raiders lineback Phil Villipiano, who would left Harris to move towards the ball after it was thrown (Villipiano would later claim that he was clipped on the play). Harris caught the ball just above the turf as it ricocheted towards him, and ran into the end zone.\n\nThis play was a bit controversial for two reasons. First of all, the rules of that time dictated that Harris could not legally catch the ball if it had touched Fuqua UNLESS it had touched Tatum after it touched Fuqua. Although there was no instant replay in the 1970's, referee Fred Swearingen consulted with his crew and the by telephone with NFL director of officiating Art McNally for several minutes before signaling touchdown.

If you're talking about the NFL Super Bowl, I wasn't aware anyone considers the winner a world champion.  But, if as you say no one else plays the sport, why couldn't they?

the last time the niners won the super bowl was super bowl XXIX, after the 1994 season, they made the chargers look really stupid in a 55-13 (i'm pretty sure it was 13) romp, with steve young taking the mvp trophy... and NO, terrell owens was not on that team, he was drafted in 1997.

Browns, Texans, Jaguars, Lions, Saints, and Cardinals have never made it to the Superbowl. Bills, Bengals, Titans, Chargers, Eagles, Vikings, Falcons, Panthers, and Seahawks have all made it to the Superbowl but they have never won it.
