The Post was regarding the seats for fans. Brady grew up in the area and was a huge ‘Niners’ and Montana fan along with his family.

“He is commonly regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.”

For sure. A sports writer for the SF Chronicle said that “Joe Montana is as cool as the other side of the pillow.”

Candlestick was a brutal place to watch sports: always cold. Ted Simmons, long time announcer, said that his favorite day at Candlestick was the mass by Pope John Paul II.

Yes, “the catch” was amazing and still is.

OK, so Brady was in an end-zone seat I take it. Makes sense.
