Hall of Fame Quarterback, Joe Montana has always been considered a hero.

A Football hero.

In college at Notre Dame, he famously played the Cotton Bowl with the flu (taking intravenous fluids at halftime) and led his team to a come-from-behind victory over the University of Houston as time expired.

In the pros, he won four Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers and never thru an interception in any of those games (won them all btw).

However, Joe Montana became a hero in real life this weekend.

He and his wife (Jennifer) had a situation Saturday evening where a 39-year-old woman entered their Malibu home and tried to snatch their baby granddaughter.

Apparently, the intruder came inside the house through an unlocked door. The intruder saw a woman holding a baby and snatched it. She then walked away with Montana's grandchild to another part of the house where she was confronted by Joe and Jennifer. They wrestled the baby away from the woman. The intruder then ran out of the house.

Crazy story. Full details below
