San Francisco 49ers Joe Montana

Back in 2002 former San Francisco 49ers great Joe Montana was diagnosed with hypertension. That revelation has led Montana to promote the importance of screening for high blood pressure.He seems to have teamed up with Novartis to coordinate an awareness campaign for both Lotrel, a medication manufactured by Novartis which helps treat blood pressure, and for the importance of regular screenings. His next stop will be in Detroit where he will speak to a group of police officers, firefighters, and medical workers about how the nature of Jets 6 Sanchez AFL50th jersey
their jobs makes them more likely to suffer from high blood pressure.It's good to know that if Joe Montana is going to hawk a product (like many big name former NFL greats do) at least the product he chooses to promote is something that can help save lives. The San Francisco 49ers will have a new executive in 2006 and he will be a "football guy". After publicly campaigning for the addition of a President position in the 49ers front office just a few weeks ago, head coach Mike Nolan succeeded in convincing team owner John York to go that route. Nolan has already discussed the position with Seattle Seahawks vice president Mike Reinfeldt, Atlanta Falcons executive vice president Ray Anderson, St. Louis Rams executive vice-president Bob Wallace as well as former Broncos and Cardinals general manager Bob Ferguson.Bringing a football guy into the front office is a great sign of things to come for this current 49ers administration. It means that the normally business-minded York is truly committed to turning San 4 Brett Favre Purple jersey
Francisco back into a champion and is willing to turn the reigns over to his head coach instead of allowing fiscal issues determine the course of the franchise.Hopefully, these off-field moves will translate into wins on the football field sooner than later. (0)
