Joe Montana says the NFL's fight with him over workman's compensation "went all the way to the California Supreme Court, and I won. Twice they've stopped payment, and I've had to fight them again. Just a few months before this last Super Bowl, they stopped payment again. Then they want me to skip my boys' basketball games to help them out. "That's typical of the NFL. And then they tried to make me look bad." He shook his head. "You know what makes me mad? The way they treat former players. Not just me. But some of those old guys, too, those guys who can barely move and walk. "But that's the NFL. They want you to do stuff for them, but they don't want to do anything for you, not without getting their money. A few years ago, I wanted them to do something for a charity I was doing for kids. It was like I was just another guy. They wanted me to pay full fee."
