Joe Montana's softer side was sought out by NFL defenses for years -- turns out his ex-wife just sold it to the highest bidder ... in the form of old college love letters!
The former 49ers quarterback is suing his first wife, Kim Moses, and a Texas auction house for selling love letters and memorabilia from his time at the University of Notre Dame. The other items include Joe's freshman I.D. card, a University of Notre Dame letter of intent and Joe and Kim's 1979 marriage certificate.
Joe is suing in excess of $75,000 -- claiming the items were obtained and sold by Moses without his consent.
Moses' lawyers released this statement: "Ms. Moses is extremely disappointed by this lawsuit. The allegations in Mr. Montana's lawsuit are untrue. All of the items that are the subject of Mr. Montana's lawsuit belong to Ms. Moses, including property that she received from Mr. Montana as token of love and appreciation. The Property Settlement Agreement signed by them makes clear that the property at issue belongs to Ms. Moses."
Reps for Heritage told TMZ they have yet to see a copy of the lawsuit, but say "Ms. Moses warranted to Heritage that she had the right to sell [certain properties possessed during their marriage]."
Lawyers for Montana have yet to respond for comment.

Many of the comments here are appauling! Comment boxes and forums on these sites truly bring the morons out of the woodwork to sound off on something they have no business talking about.
Its obvious many of the commenters here know nothing about the woman involved yet they feel empowered to start name-calling and slandering her as a golddigger? Tacky and fouler than foul!
It is horrible when good people get their names dragged through the mud, so the peanut gallery can feel better about themselves. If what an above poster said was true that she's responsible for the Ghost Whisperer, why they hell would she need money over dusty momentos? Think people.
This is a sad and pathetic lawsuit, and it says a lot not only about the sad cretins insulting the woman involved, but the individual behind the lawsuit as well. I hope this case is thrown out of court as a joke.
I'd have to agree that if he didn't want people selling his stuff he should've done a better job at not leaving his crap laying about in other people's houses.
Possession is 9/10 of the law, let's not forget that.
After supporting Joe for years including in their marriage Joe walked out on Kim and didn't speak to her for 30 years. She doesn't need money and didn't need this stuff taking up space in her home. It stood to reason that it had no value to her, but might to a Montana fan. If Joe had a concern, all he needed to do was ask for or buy it back. End of issue and no story. By pursuing a lawsuit, it shows once again an athlete can be a winner on the field and a loser off of it.
hahaha! I have to do it since no one seems to care about this article!!!
here it goes!!!!
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahaha
joe montana was the reason i fell in love with the 49ers in the 7th grade soooo long ago! needless to say i am now a HUGE seattle seahawks fan! go tatupu!
I'm a life-long Forty Niner fan, and Joe Montana is the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL, but I've also known Kim Moses for more than 20 years, and can atest to her class and integrity. This is clearly a misunderstanding and I hope it will work out without further conflict.
How pathetic one has to go to get money!! What a bitch!!
He divorced that wife for a airline attendant he met and carried on with. She deserves the money, like he needs it. What goes around comes around.
His suit is obviously due to the influence of wife #3. If he knew about the stuff wife #1 had, or in any way abandoned them with her, then she had the right to sell it. If he didn't know about it, then she was selling off his property without his knowledge and she SHOULD be sued. A real lady would return anything with his name on it so he could give it to his children.
Love letter should be off limits. Frannkly, selling the other memorabilia screams of desperation, but selling personal love letters is beyond the pale. What a skank! no wonder he left her a$$.
isnt it illegal to sell the marriage certificate? those always have personal info!
Maybe he should have packed that stuff up before he left her for his second wife...If I remember correctly, he went out to the store and never came back. Sounds lke a real prince to me.
Steve Young is better looking and a better quarterback.
joe montana applied for unemployment checks from the state of California when he retired
from pro football. What does that say about his character? I bet he's the one who need the extra money.
that cheapskate!
