Pretty Good read about Will Smith, Wayne Gretzky and Joe Montana's sons.

It's a fun read. They all play at Oaks Christian (Jimmy Clausen's school) It appears they all have some talent. Montana's kid has an offer from Stanford already.

Not really a fan of his writing style, but I lol'd at this...

"The hockey player's son doesn't play hockey. The actor's son doesn't act. And the 49er's son doesn't 49er."


I was confused when you said Montana kid had an offer from Stanford. Last I had heard, he was on the bench and likely wouldn't start for his high school team, but would probably get a scholarship from Notre Dame for obvious reasons. Interesting to see he left De La Salle though. I wonder how serious Stanford is about him... ?

I dunno if you guys saw it but the other day they had a TV report about all 3 on ESPN. It'd be amazing if Gretzsky's son makes it to the NFL.

Awesome read, what a cool story. I laughed at the head coachs quote about watching hockey being like watching two guys fish, thats football country alright. It would have been horribly difficult for a Gretzky to come up playing hockey in Canada, Waynes brother Brent was decent but always got criticised for not being as good as his brother. At least in the southern US playing football any pressure on Trevor Gretzky is nothing compared to playing the sport his dad put on the map.
