Steve Young's Last Play - C.W.Nevius
A reflective, relaxed and - let's
admit it - rambling Steve Young said goodbye to football yesterday at 49ers'
headquarters. Playing host, master of ceremonies and featured speaker,
Young told stories, thanked former coaches and guests and got off a few
one-liners in a 1 1/2-hour farewell that was carried live across the nation...
So Long Steve - Nancy Gay
A sterile hotel ballroom setting
would never do, Steve Young insisted. The most accurate passer in NFL history
would say his good-byes in a huddle, in the 49ers' locker room. The
smelly, crowded, chaotic locker room. "I dunno. It just seemed like the
right place," Young explained, almost apologetically. "It's the most intimate
place for players. Where else?"...

Decision "just settle to me" - John Crumpacker
Steve Young is probably one of the
very few players in the NFL who could spell "epiphany" if hit over the
head by one. One did. As best as Young can figure, it happened
on Saturday, June 3 as he was off on a jog around his Palo Alto neighborhood,
specifically in the vicinity of Webster and Lytton streets...
Rice a poet, and he doesn't know it - John
Crumpacker
Jerry Rice, poet? It's true.
After fighting off tears during Steve Young's retirement ceremony Monday
morning, Rice stepped up to the podium to pay tribute to the man who threw
him 85 touchdown passes, an NFL record from one quarterback to one receiver...

Barb Stand Behind Her Man - Gwen Gnapp
A tissue box started traveling down
the front row of guests about five minutes into Steve Young's retirement
ceremony. Head coach Steve Mariucci leaned forward to make sure the box
reached Barb Young, the quarterback's wife of three months...
For No.8, Football Was, Above All Else, a Passion
Play - Glenn Dickey
When the gaudy statistics and great
wins fade from memory, what I'll remember most about Steve Young will be
his passion for the game and his courage...

Game's Greats Say Young Is On Of Them -
Dwight Chapin
One thing seems certain about Steve
Young. In five years, he's going to become the only left-handed quarterback
in the Pro Football Hall of Fame...
To the End His Own Man - C.W.Nevius
Syeve Young once played professional
football in a league so strapped for cash that the coach asked players
to bunk with teammates' parents on road trips. In college at BYU, he swears
he was originally buried so deep...

At First Light, Left-Handed Wasn't Right
- Ira Miller
Although it was not until a year
later that he became the 49ers' regular starting quarterback, Steve Young
would have been the starter in Super Bowl XXV -- the 49ers' bid for a ``three-peat''
...
Never Defensive - Ron Kroichick
To think, he was nearly the next
Ronnie Lott. That could have become a messy saga, flowing with thick locker-room
tension and splashy headlines every day. Ronnie vs. Steve -- who should
start in the defensive backfield for the 49ers?
