The San Francisco 49ers are one of the most well known and famous franchises in all of professional sports. They have had down years like every team, but they have also had some amazing years too. The great talent they have had at times has even won the team more than its fair share of Super Bowl trophies.
The team has had some awesome quarterbacks over the years, but who has won more games than any other 49ers signal caller? Here is a look at the top three winningest quarterbacks in San Francisco 49ers history, through the 2009 season.
#1 - Joe Montana
Joe Montana came to the 49ers after being drafted in the third round out of the University of Notre Dame. He put up some incredible number over the years as the point man on Bill Walsh's west coast offense. In the end he retired with most of the team passing records, multiple Super Bowl rings, and tons of individual awards. He also left the team with a nice even 100 wins before playing the last two seasons of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs.
#2 - Steve Young
Steve Young had an interesting route on his way to becoming the Super Bowl winning starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers. He played collegiately at Brigham Young University and was then signed to play by the Los Angeles Express of the mid 1980's USFL. After leaving the league, he would toil for a short time on the roster of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After being traded to the 49ers, he then had to wait for his moment as he watched the great Joe Montana perform on the field. When he finally got his shot, he made the most of it and the greatest team of the 1980's seemed to miss a beat in the early 1990's. He would end his career with the 49ers with 91 wins for the team.
#3 - John Brodie
John Brodie came along and unseeded the popular Y.A. Tittle at quarterback for the 49ers in the late 1950's. He would end up staying with the team for a 17 year run that included big wins and outstanding performances. By the time he retired, he owned the team passing record book. He was amazingly popular in the city and kept his close ties with it after his playing days were done. Many don't know it, but Brodie was also an accomplished golfer and eventually played on the Senior PGA Tour. He amassed 74 wins during his days as the starting quarterback for the team.

Joe Montana
in 1988, i sold my auto finance company and retired. I soon realized, much to my dismay and surprise, you can play golf seven days a week. Never having been handy around the house, or having any other hobby, I became bored.
One day I accompanied my wife to the local mall and to my great surprise, there was a memorabilia show in progress and one of my boy-hood idols, Bob Feller was autographing balls, bats, hats and photos. I couldn believe my good luck when I had my picture taken with my favorite player and he signed an 8x10 photo with his leg high over his head and he inscribed it: To Richard, your pal, Bob Feller! (Little did i know at that time that Bob Feller was visiting practically every mall in the U.S.A. autographing items for everyone who would pay him $20!).
That day, i became a sports collector for real. Of course, like everyone else, as a kid i collected baseball cards, traded amongst my friends and put them in my bicycle spokes. i was cool before i even knew what cool was. Of course, when i went away to college, my mom cleaned out the garage and donated them to the local dump-ster, making me an ex-millionaire.
I a Capricorn. I don mess around. One year after meeting Bob Feller I had accumulated over 1,500 signed baseballs. They were displayed in categories: Members of the Hall of Fame, teams, pitchers, hitters, MVP, and a collection of Cy Young winners.
From there I started collecting signed footballs, basketballs, and golf balls from Masters Champions. at one time i owned 26 Super Bowl Rings! I was a Big League collector and my house was known as the aseball House?and neighborhood kids would bring their dads for a tour.
Having lived in the Los Angeles area, I had season tickets for the Dodgers, Lakers, Kings and Raiders (back in the day). I took my collecting seriously and found myself a co-host of a radio show that aired before the Lakers games. The host was Gary Owens of augh-In?fame and we called ourselves ports-Nuts?
As a kid i subscribed to Sport Magazine, and as an adult I found myself the Memorabilia Editor of that fine publication, working for former L.A. Dodger All-Star first baseman, Steve Garvey.
That position took me around the country to various autograph shows. I became friends with the overs and shakers?in the in-dustry. It also led me to the Home Shopping Network, where I would occasionally be their on-air memorabilia authenticity expert. To this day, I am proud to have been a part of the largest volume show in their history. We sold baseball bats signed by Joe diMag-gio. The bats were a limited edition series of 1,951 pieces to com-memorate the year he made batting history by hitting in 56 straight games. We sold them for $2,995 each.
Ie lived a charmed life but have never been very good at any particular sport. I have, however, met my heroes in every sport: Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Wayne Gretzky, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Joe Montana, Magic Johnson, and all the Raider Hall of Famers, just to mention just a few.
At the beginning of this year, I was pleased and honored to be asked by Mario Jourdan, publisher of The Affluent Page, to share some of my memories about my life in the sports memorabilia fast lane. So for now, enjoy what I have shared with you thus far, talk to you soon.

Are Saints Super Bowl Contenders?
The Saints are only a couple of seasons removed from their big Super Bowl season. Much of that team success was attributed to the quick attack offense and this season team seems to be following that same model. The New Orleans defense has been steady, but nothing that would seem to indicate that they are championship caliber. But, the defense can be run of the mill when you have a quarterback like Drew Brees helping the offense pile up touchdowns.
While Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers and Tom Brady of the New England Patriots seem to grab all the headlines, Brees has quietly asserted himself as an elite quarterback in the NFL. All three of these signal callers are quality leaders with Super Bowl rings. Those are big reasons why these teams are considered favorites to make it to the big game at Lucas Field in Indianapolis this February. Brees, like Brady and Rodgers, were not sure-fire-can-miss prospects coming out of college. And, like his counter parts, he spent his first season behind a football icon in Doug Flutie. But, unlike Brady and Rodgers, Brees didn stick with his original team even though he evolved into a Pro-Bowler with the San Diego Chargers. He was said to lack size and arm strength even though he had put up solid numbers in four years as the Charger QB. San Diego went in a different direction and drafted Philip Rivers, which led to Brees signing with New Orleans as a free agent.
Since joining the Saints, Drew Brees has been putting up record numbers. In the three seasons prior to the championship season, he threw for an incredible 14,000 yards with 88 touchdowns to boot. But he didn stop there. In the Saints Super Bowl season, he completed an NFL record 70% of his passes while throwing for 34 scores. As good as Brees has been, he is on track to have his best season ever in 2011. Through seven games, he is on pace for 5,700 passing yards, 41 touchdowns, a completion percentage of 71% and a passer rating of over 104. Even though he seems to play in the shadows of other NFL stars, there is no denying that Drew Brees is on his way to Canton and the NFL Hall of Fame. He already has the credentials but undoubtedly has another five or six good years left in him. Take note, one of the greatest QB to ever suit up in the NFL is hiding in plain site.
It possible that Drew Brees and his New Orleans Saints will be at Lucas Field in Indianapolis for the Super Bowl in February. While it only a possibility for the Saints, it can be a reality for you!

With the Super Bowl come the Super Bowl rings. However, what are they and how can you get one?
Super Bowls rings are given as awards to all the members of the winning team in the championship game of the league, which is the Super Bowl. They are awarded to them in commemoration of their victory. These valuable rings are usually made with white or yellow studded with diamonds. They would have the Super Bowl number, the team name and the team logo engraved on each ring.
The rings could also have bigger diamonds, as well as diamonds that have been designed to form a trophy. It represents how many Super Bowls the particular franchise has won. For instance, the 2005 Super Bowl ring of Pittsburgh has five trophies, which would represent the five championship games, or Super Bowls, that they have won.
A lot of people may not know that the NFL actually spends almost $5,000 for each ring, and usually gives almost 150 rings for each team. And the policy was if the cost of the rings goes over the limit of $5,000, then the team owner would be the one paying for the difference. A lot of the more recent rings have been appraised to have a value of over $20,000 but most manufacturers do not directly give this information.
The Super Bowl rings are usually made by the chosen company of the winning team. A lot of the Super Bowl rings are manufactured by a company named Josten's located in Denton. Texas.

Indy didn't appear in the first 39 Super Bowls.
Super Bowl XL still is nearly a month away and football fans don't even know who the combatants will be.
Nevertheless, the Las Vegas Hilton -- which attempts to be first with the most for bettors throughout the valley -- has posted odds on the NFL's 41st mid-winter extravaganza, to be played Feb. 4 at Dolphins Stadium in Miami.
SuperBook Race and Sports Book Director Jay Kornegay, Sports Book Manager Ed Salmons, supervisors Jeff Sherman and Matt Metcalfe and others with ties to the bookmaking business got together and hammered out numbers, just as they did with 2007 BCS odds.
Peyton Manning-led Indianapolis, 14-2 and one of eight teams still in contention for the 2006 Super Bowl in Detroit, donned the favorite's mantle.
The Colts, currently less than even money to cop their first Lombardi Trophy on Feb. 5, broke from the gate as big 5/2 favorites to win the 2007 NFL title and 3/2 shots to capture the AFC.
Indy didn't appear in the first 39 Super Bowls.
While the Colts -- who lost two of the regular season's final three games -- obviously are viewed by oddsmakers as head and shoulders above the rest of the league, the Pats and Bolts head a list of second-level AFC clubs and Seattle is still the cream of the NFC crop.
New England, winner of the past two Super Bowls, and San Diego, which barely missed this season's playoffs, are 10/1 co-second choices to cop the 2007 affair.
Both also are 6/1 to dominate the AFC.
Pittsburgh is 12/1 to win the Super Bowl and 7/1 to take the AFC.
Cincinnati, Denver and Kansas City are 15/1 to rule the loop in 2007 and 8/1 to win the conference.
Bearing out the current NFL pecking order is the fact the Seahawks, at 14/1, are rated the NFC's best hope of dethroning their AFC counterparts.
Seattle also is a 9/2 choice to win the conference.
A slew of NFC clubs are 20/1 to win the Miami Super Bowl and 6/1 to bag the NFC title: Carolina, Dallas, Washington, Chicago, Philadelphia and the New York Giants.
Atlanta, Tampa Bay and Jacksonville are 30/1 to snag Super Bowl rings; the Falcons are 10/1 to win the NFC, the Bucs 13/1 and Jags 17/1.
Minnesota, Miami and Baltimore went up as 40/1 Super Bowl shots; the Vikings opened at 15/1 to win the NFC and the Dolphins and Ravens at 22/1 to master the AFC.
Local favorite Oakland is a 50/1 Super Bowl pick and 27/1 to win the AFC.
St. Louis opened at 60/1 and 25/1, while Detroit and Arizona were posted at 75/1 and 30/1.
Grouped at 100/1 to win the Super Bowl and 50/1 to claim an AFC championship were Buffalo, Cleveland, Houston, Tennessee and the New York Jets.
Green Bay was a 100/1 Super Bowl selection and 40/1 NFC pick.
Long shots were the Saints, who will be returning to New Orleans, and the once-mighty 49ers, five-time Super Bowl champions, at 200-1 to capture the Super Bowl and 75/1 to nab an NFC crown.
***
Texas, which stunned and dethroned national champion Southern Cal in the 2006 Rose Bowl, is the Las Vegas Hilton SuperBook's fifth choice to capture the 2007 BCS Championship, behind the Trojans and a trio of other traditional national powerhouses.
Opening as the 5/1 favorite to claim the 2007 Fiesta Bowl -- site of the national title game -- in Glendale, Ariz., next Jan. 8 is Ohio State, followed by Oklahoma and Notre Dame at 6/1, USC at 7/1 and the Longhorns at 10/1.
Among other prominent clubs, Florida opened at 12/1 and Miami (Fla.) at 15/1.
Grouped at 20/1 were Michigan, West Virginia, Auburn and Florida State.
Penn State went up at 30/1, UCLA at 40/1, Alabama at 50/1 and Tennessee and Georgia at 60/1.
UNLV was the listed long shot at 1000/1 and the field opened at 30/1.

He played the greatest game in 1994 playoffs New Jersey Devils for sixth, the two sides hit a four-overtime (Note: when overtime is required to play the full 20 minutes of the game, using sudden death, this NHl modify the rules, plus the use of five minutes when four dozen four ways to play midfield ball winning penalty level), the full 125 minute game time, Hasek made 70 saves, wholesale cheap jerseys the last shutout of the opponent, 1:0 win!

AIR JORDAN 7 in which the design concept, the designer for the first time the concept of adding a motorcycle, especially in the red patent leather part of the most obvious. In fact, AIR JORDAN XX part of the design with red patent leather is the latest addition to the protection system designer, for NIKE interpreted as "the protection of the ankle rope," the basis of which is worn high heels and women with nature similar.
In addition to a "protection of the ankle rope" beyond the idea of the latest technology, AIR JORDAN 6 also by all means use of LASER laser engraving technology to highlight AIR JORDAN Michael Jordan and the series of glorious past. As long as careful observation is not difficult to find in the AIR JORDAN 19 magic at the bandage on the shoe, carved with large and small, all kinds, different shapes of patterns, and these patterns are independent of each another whole, which , we can find Jordan in his career highest score; we can also see Jordan's birthday; or the Ministry of cars that can catch your attention, because it was Jordan's first car purchased; also one with 6 a finger of the hand, it is trying to say is that Jordan already has six championship rings ... ...

Arthur Boyle. My dad was a high school phys ed teacher who also coached football and basketball (a sport he didn't really play beyond high school). He went on to be a high school principal. Truth is I never saw him coach when I was old enough to "get it" but I learned a lot. I know he won what amounted to State titles in the 1960's in basketball even though he was a college football player (it was called the Tech Tourney then). My father showed me that coaches could coach any sport. It didn't matter what sport they coached or what sport they played. I think this helped when I began to coach hockey players at BU. I also learned that some of my father's most loyal fans were former managers who kept score books and ran errands. My dad innately knew how to treat everyone with respect. Lastly, I learned racial tolerance. My father coached lots of young African American kids in the sixties and loved it. I didn't even know what prejudice was until I was much older. My dad was a Vince Lombardi era guy who often echoed the old adage "it's not whether you win or lose but, how you play the game". My dad believed that as do I.
Mike Woicek- Mike Woicek is an NFL legend. He has the most Super Bowl rings in NFL history, six, three with Dallas and three with New England, actually more than any player. In 1978 and 1979 he was the resident director in my dorm at Springfield College. Talk about lucky. For two years I sat in his room, listened to oldies, drank a few beers and worked my way through a box of Strength and Health and Ironman magazines. Mike introduced me to plyometrics, and the old Soviet Sport review, the predecessor of the Yessis Journals. Mike was my mentor during my early years at BU and was probably the single greatest influence on me as a strength coach. Mike was so far ahead of his time in the late seventies that it was comical. As a former track thrower his perspective on sports training was really progressive.
Bruce Buckbee- everyone who reads this will say "Who is Bruce Buckbee?" Again in the wide world of luck and serendipity Bruce came to Springfield College for Grad School at the same time as Mike Woicek and was my instructor for a course called Weight Training. Prior to Bruce's arrival Weight Training was a simple and boring class. Bruce however had just come from University of Hawaii where he trained with the legendary Bill Starr. How about using Bill Starr's Strong Shall Survive and being taught by a guy who had just been taught by Bill himself? We learned the Big Three ( squat, bench press, and power clean) from the book that coined the term) I was at Springfield College learning from a guy who had just finished training with a legend. At the same time I was chasing two other future legends around like Sam Leahey.
Rusty Jones- the third part of the Springfield connection is another NFL legend. Although Rusty does not have Mike's rings he has had more teams in SuperBowls than anyone except Mike. Rusty was a graduate assistant football coach at the time and a nutritional pioneer in the 80's. Rusty and Mike are actually the two longest tenured guys in the NFL. Wonder why the word lucky keeps coming up.
Jack Parker- my fourth influence is not a strength coach at all. Jack Parker is the winningest coach in NCAA history at a single institution with over 800 wins at Boston University. Yes, the same school. Coach Parker has been the head coach for 37 years. Next to my father I don't think there is anyone in the world I respect as much as Coach Parker. I have had the pleasure of being part of about 500 or 600 wins of his wins as well as two National Championships and have learned so much along the way. I learned about coaching, I learned about fairness, and I learned about grace under pressure. I have been able to be in a locker room after National Championships wins, National Championships losses, and devastating player injuries. You learn valuable lessons in all these situations.
Vern Gambetta and Don Chu- Vern and Don fit together in my mind because they were the guys I wanted to be when I first attended NSCA conferences in the 1980's. Both men came from track backgrounds and were instrumental in changing the field of strength and conditioning. I can remember watching them lecture and thinking to myself "imagine if I could ever captivate a room the way they did". I read everything they wrote and bought every VHS tape they made. I idolized them. I wanted to be them. I hope today when I speak I do them justice.
Gary Gray- I don't know if anyone had as significant an impact on my mind as Gary in the last twenty years. Although I don't agree with everything Gary says or does, there is no mistaking the effect he had. In the early 1990's Vern Gambetta told me I had to go to a Chain Reaction conference. I went to Phoenix and came away a changed man. I entered the room a meathead powerlifter and left a functional training guy. When Gary began to explain the concepts of function my entire world changed. The coolest thing is that it all made sense. These days I think the concept has gone to far but, that doesn't change the things I learned at that first Chain Reaction seminar.
Johnnie Parker- I met Johnnie when he was the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the New England Patriots. Johnnie was the consummate coach and the consummate professional. When I lecture I see myself emulating Don Chu and Vern Gambetta. When I see myself as a coach, I see a guy that wanted to be Johnnie Parker. Johnnie was confident yet humble. He believed in the basics but was always learning and progressing. The most important thing to Johnnie was coaching. He coached from morning to night and pretty much stayed out of the limelight. Being in Massachusetts I took advantage of his generosity and visited him in Foxboro. With Johnnie it was just about getting players better and keeping players healthy. Everywhere Johnnie Parker coached teams went to SuperBowls and guys became Johnnie's guys. There is no better testament to your ability than the loyalty of your players.
Al Vermeil -- Al might be my favorite person in the field. I always say I want to be Al when I grow up. I don't know anyone in our field who is more enthusiastic about learning than Al. He is the kid in the candy store. I brought Al in to do a seminar for my coaches a few years ago. The night before the seminar I brought him to the facility to observe our coaches and athletes. After about thirty minutes I expected Al to be ready to leave. Instead, he was ready to coach. He looked at me and said "can I coach some kids?". I was dumbfounded. I had to drag him to dinner two hours later. Al Vermeil, he of 9 world championship rings in two different sports, stayed on the platforms and coached like a GA. Kids had no idea who this enthusiastic old guy was, but I did. I'll never forget that night. It made a lasting impression on me and again showed me who I might be when I grew up. I am fortunate to be able to call Al a good friend and to be able to spend time with him every year at the Perform Better Summits. I often laugh in his lectures because the smartest people at the seminar never miss a chance to hear Al.
Mike Clark- Mike was the first of the Whiz Kid PT's . The first time I heard him speak I thought "wow, this kid is smart". Mike was like a physical therapy encyclopedia. I personally think he was the guy who fast forwarded many of us into the marriage of rehab and training. Gary Gray was a visionary thinker. Mike was the practical application guy. Mike took physical therapy and training and made them one science in a way no one else ever had.
Gray Cook -- the original son of a preacher man, Gray has the ability and charisma to reach any audience. Gray may have influenced the way I program more than any one person over the past ten years. Mike Woicek and the others above built my foundation but Gray was a guy who changed much of the house. Another of these Whiz Kid Pt's, Gray has single handedly changed coaches in every professional sport. Because of Gray the Functional Movement Screen is now the gold standard screening tool in our industry.
Mark Verstegen- Mark was one of the first Whiz Kid strength coaches. To be honest when I first read about him in Outside Magazine I was sure I wasn't going to like him. Crew cut, snarling ex-linebacker? Not my type. Boy was I wrong. The guy could coach and was a great judge of character. I met some great guys through Mark who are also good friends today. I went to IPI to observe and came away with a friend for life. Both of our dad's were high school principals and we grew up with the same values. Although he was 10 years younger, I felt like I had met my little brother in the world of strength and conditioning.
Alwyn Cosgrove- Alwyn was a great influence because he called me out at a time in my career when I needed it. To make a long story short, Alwyn reached out to me to connect on a few occasions and I was "too busy" to respond. Alwyn's response was to tell Ryan Lee that I was a bit of an ass. When Ryan communicated that to me I simply said "oops". Alwyn was right. I had been a bit of a jerk. Alwyn taught me a valuable lesson and I thank him for it. Alwyn also taught me another much more valuable lesson. He taught me that life is a gift and should be lived every day. As a two-time cancer survivor Alwyn inspires me to live better every day.
Ryan Lee- Many who read this will say Ryan Lee? However I think many of us in fitness and strength and conditioning owe a great deal to Ryan Lee. Ryan revolutionized our field. Ryan empowered us as coaches to realize it was Ok to make money. It was OK to try to develop a business. I can remember Ryan looking at me and saying "Is your stuff good? Then why are you ashamed to sell it?" Like many things in many professions people took Ryan's advice the wrong way and took Ryan's advice in the wrong direction, However, we have to realize not to shoot the messenger.
Chris Poirier- Chris Poirier is the man behind Perform Better. Chris saw the future and the future was education for trainers, coaches and therapists. Chris is probably the best businessman I know. Not because he knows how to make money but because he understands people. Bill Falk, the founder of MF Athletic, gave Chris a chance to develop a small offshoot of MF Athletic into a company that is now the leading education provider in our field. Chris's idea was simple. If you give someone quality education you create customers. A simple and brilliant idea. He would say to the speakers "Don't sell, teach". If you educate them they'll naturally become customers. It was a brilliant business idea that made industry names out of many of us. Without the Perform Better tour, I'm not sure where we would be.
I know when I publish this I will remember someone I left out. However the most important thing for me is to say thank-you to all the people who influenced me whether mentioned or left out. Without you I would not be the person I am today.
Mike Woicek- Mike Woicek is an NFL legend. He has the most Super Bowl rings in NFL history, six, three with Dallas and three with New England, actually more than any player.

and should not be attempted unless you are a professional. If you do not know what you are doing
Jewelry has always had the power to emphasize and accent the dress and beliefs of an individual. It can make a powerful statement about one's status in society. Jewelry stores offer a glimpse at what there may be available to those who are looking for something just right for a special occasion, or to make a statement about their own beliefs. This can also be a place where those who are planning a wedding will come to choose the perfect rings to exchange during their ceremony.
Traditionally this has been the case for a bride who is looking for the perfect wedding tiara as well. Modern brides often choose diamante or various crystals to be used as their bridal tiara. These materials have the uncanny ability to easily coordinate with almost any ensemble. This versatility allows them to retain their value more than something which only works well with one specific set of colors.
Jewelry stores are often able to customize many of the products which they offer to their customers. If you are looking for a highly personalized touch to be added to a piece of jewelry, you may find that they are able to use an engraver to make their personalized bracelets. This is a great way to go if you want your name or even a special message carved into the piece of jewelry which you have chosen.
Another common form of customization is the resizing of rings. Jewelry stores are able to resize everything from tungsten rings to titanium wedding rings. However this process requires very special tools and the knowledge of how to use the tools, and should not be attempted unless you are a professional. If you do not know what you are doing, you could easily ruin a perfectly good piece of jewelry in no time flat.
Many professional sports organizations will use rings to signify championship status. The National Football League for example uses the Super Bowl rings which are given to all of the team members of the team which wins the Super Bowl. These are usually made of high quality gold, and then diamonds are used in the ring as accents. Often those who play the game of tennis will enjoy wearing jewelry adornment such as a diamond tennis bracelet. Tennis players have always found this to be the perfect accent to show their love of the game of tennis. Plus diamonds go with anything just like crystal!
There are so many wonders to be discovered in a jewelry store. Have you ever heard of citrine jewelry? These ancient jewels are harvested from metamorphic rocks and have been tied many mysterious origins since before the age of the all powerful Roman Empire. These once represented an extremely high valued commodity, not quite as much as gold, but always close to it. Citrine jewelry has been used in some of the most elegant and rich looking forms of jewelry found through excavations. Although it is not as valuable as it was in ancient times, it does offer the modern jewelry connoisseur a beautiful piece which has a lot of history to it.
