Riggins to me didn't look like he wanted to be there, he looked pissed off, no wave to the crowd or smile, go figure it's Riggins.

If that's true about Montana, then I just lost a ton of respect for him. Bradshaw's excuse I can certainly live with. Family is much more important than any PR thing.

Reports: Money differences leave QBs outESPN.com news services

When the NFL unveiled its MVPs from the previous 39 Super Bowls, only three living members skipped the ceremony.

Former 49ers quarterback Joe Montana and former Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw decided to stay home, while former Dolphins MVP Jake Scott was traveling in Australia.

Montana, the league's only three-time Super Bowl MVP, turned down the invitation over money, Newsday and the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Montana, however, told ESPN2's Cold Pizza last week that he wasn't going to be at the game because his son had an important basketball game he wanted to attend.

Bradshaw, who told league officials that he wanted to be with his family, also took issue with the fees, the Chronicle reported. Bradshaw, through a representative, denied the Chronicle's report that there was a dispute over money.

Former MVPs were given $1,000 for incidental expenses while in Detroit, along with other amenities such as plane tickets, car rental and game tickets.

Sources told each paper that Montana asked for a guarantee of at least $100,000 in appearance money.

When the league balked at Montana's demands, the quarterback declined to be in attendance.

No, he was there so I guess he got something.

Sounds like the key words here are "it was reported" and we know how these guys' like to distort. The players have both said that was not the reason and I'll take their word for it over the "reported". My 2 cents
