THE MEMORY: SERIES I "THE WARM UP" SUPER BOWL XIX :
by Joseph Clifford Montana
Born June 11, 1956 in New Eagle, Pennsylvania

"I was warming up my arm & body getting ready for our first possession in SB XIX. We are given the 1st 25 plays that Bill Walsh intended to run in the game on Saturday night before the game. I was running thru the order of the plays and their formations. I was also visualizing the pass plays in my mind and what I would do in different circumstances, like a blitz, if it were to occur. I was also going thru my reads and progression of receivers, for different possible defenses that the Dolphins played. All for nothing at this point since we fumbled the kick off."
