Joe Montana’s incredible Super Bowl passer rating

The validity and meaning of the hard-to-understand “passer rating” statistic is often debated. The rating is meant to measure the efficiency of a quarterback by comparing number of complete passes with attempted passes and interceptions.

In four Super Bowl games Joe Montana not only led the San Francisco 49ers to victories but also proved to be one of the best big game quarterbacks ever. Montana’s stats through those four Super Bowl victories play out as: 83 completions in 122 attempts for 1,142 yards. He also threw for eleven touchdown passes and amazingly had no interceptions in any of those big games.

At the end of the day (or in this case, those four days), Joe Montana’s passer rating in Super Bowls computes out to 127.8 – that’s through 4 games… the 4 biggest games of his life.

Before their home football game on Saturday, November 17th, Virginia Tech students, faculty, and fans took an opportunity to say thank you for all the support they received following the school shooting that happened there last April.

Situations like what happened at Virginia Tech last spring usually bring out the best in people. When we as humans see other humans suffering because of no fault of their own, it should bring us to want to give them support. Virginia Tech students, faculty, fans, and families affected… I believe the entire country says to you: “you are welcome”.

The hope from assembling this large message made up of people was that it could be seen by a satellite passing overhead, there was a cloud cover so there is no news yet as to whether the satellite was able to capture the event as well.
