"SAN FRANCISCO Joe Montana snuck up behind Eddie DeBartolo on the red carpet to make a crazy face while photo-bombing him. Then sauntered in Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, Keena Turner and other 49ers legends, all looking ready to conquer another Super Bowl, albeit a few decades past their prime and 12 days before the Lombardi Trophy is awarded at Levi's Stadium to either the Seattle Seahawks or the New England Patriots."
"The 49ers' crown jewels resurfaced Tuesday night at a Mission District theater for the screening of a masterful docuseries, The Rise of the 49ers, which airs Sunday and Monday nights on AMC's television network. It entails everything that happened in those two decades that was so special, not only to me and the players but also for the city, DeBartolo said. The four compelling episodes, complete with behind-the-scenes footage and on-camera interviews from the past and present, open up a time capsule to the greatest era of 49ers football, when they won five Super Bowls between the 1981 and 1994 seasons."
"Once the 45-minute screening of the first episode was complete, a crescendo of applause came from the couple hundred viewers including fans in 49ers jerseys inside the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema."
