Yes, did watch the SB where Montana sliced & diced the Broncos (That SF team was INCREDIBLE.) but by that point I was a Chiefs fan. The whole Reeves/Elway fued was a turnoff, and after all those great Broncos/Browns games Marty had earned a lot of respect.
Too long of a story to post here, but will sum it up by saying that the Reeves SB Broncos teams and the Broncos(ish) teams that went to on to win SB's in '97 & '98 were two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT critters. Under Reeves they struggled, but they held their egos in check and earned everything they got. Sure, the Reeve's teams had some calls go their way, but nothing as blatanly going their way like it did in the late nineties.
To relate this back to Tamba Hali...Tamba has earned every bit of his success. What he did for that poster's daughter was great, bet she'll remember that for a long time!! When he came here, he was originally a defensive lineman, but really took off as a linebacker. So far not one NFL team we've faced has been able to stop this LB corps or D-line. And Tamba's a big part of that.
