Three MVPs MIA For XL

I only noticed the missing MVP from Super Bowl 19 (XIX, I think...) during the pregame presentation of the MVP's from the past 39 (XXXIX, I think...).

But their were a total of three MIA for the roll call. Former Miami Dolphin Jake Scott was traveling in Australia, Pittsburgh Steeler Terry Bradshaw wanted to stay home with family, and the San Francisco 49er and the only three-time Super Bowl MVP Joe Montana...well, here's well the report gets interesting.

The NFL reportedly provided basic amenities for their appearance, such as plane tickets, car rental and game tickets. On top of that was $1,000 for incidental expenses while in Detroit. Montana apparently wanted $100,000, and refused to be a part of the show when his demands were not met.

Bradshaw also is rumored to have wanted more money. He has denied these reports
