When I was a kid in deep south Texas, Joe Namath was a hero to all of us kids. I remember in 1969 after he won the Super Bowl, I saved my pecan collecting money to buy a pair of white tennis shoes and my mother said I should not have bought then cause they'd get dirty. I didn't care, I wanted to LOOK like Joe Namath. His impact on sports only rivals that of Mr. Mohammad Ali. Sports stars had finally entered into a kid's vocabulary like John Wayne and Sly and Arnold. What a time in sports where it became another way to spend your mad money, going to the games, then to the movies. When the Dallas Cowboys became a team to be reakoned with in 1971, I was hooked forever. I'm 64 and I can still name players like Emerson Boozer and Walt Garrison and Roger the Dodger. I watched Jack Nicolelson and Rod Laver and Even bowler Ed Anthony. We liked watching the best in any sport. THEY were the video games of my time.

In the summer of 2001, I was with my 10 year old son walking up to the front deck of the Newark Airport Marriot and there was Joe Namath getting a replacement key card for his room. He didn't have his wallet but was laughingly assuring the staff that he was really "Joe Namath". He received his replacement key card and then turned around to leave and saw my son. Joe stopped and asked my son if he played football or other sports. My son and Joe the proceeded into a ten minute conversation about sports and giving it your all. About half way though to make a point Joe mentioned he had even been lucky enough though hard work to play in the Super Bowl. To prove it he took off his Super Bowl ring and gave it to my son to try on. My son eventually gave the ring back thanked Joe for letting him try on the ring and they wished each other well and said good bye. My son and I then walked over to the elevators to go up to our room when my son turned to me and asked "who was that". True story -- amazingly nice guy.

The "prediction" was actually Namath blurting out something out of annoyance due to a sports writer's question concerning how big an underdog the Jets were for the Super Bowl. As for the HOF, Namath will say himself that he is at least statistically, one of the lower QBs in The Hall. Having said all of that, Namath was a cultural phenomenon and if nothing else, deserves to be in the HOF for that reason. In 1965, I was 12 years old and a Namath fan. That Christmas I asked for a llama skin rug for my bedroom because I read that Namath had one. (I did not get it.)

From his youth, family upbringing, high school, college and pro football and now how he helps people with brain neurological disorders. You have to remember too that his knee injury was very serious and really hampered his ability. If he hadn't gotten injured who knows how great his stats may have been better. Like Winston Hill said...A very special character.

I'm from Aliquippa , which is about 10 miles south of Beaver Falls. All of the people in Beaver County are the same way. A great place to grow up. The decline of the Steel Industry decimated the area and most people my age had to leave for better opportunity. When I hear Joe talk in this documentary, I feel like I'm down the local pub listening to him. I seen him in NYC in around 1995. I shouted out "Hey Beaver County boy" His head popped up from what he was doin. We talked for a few minutes. Felt like I knew him my whole life !!

It validated the AFL with respect to the merger. It opened the door to big salaries for all the good players in the AFL. He was also the perfect star for the television era! The NFL owes a lot to Joe Willie Namath!! He turned football into big time entertainment. He was so much more than his stats as a quarterback. He was the first big star!

Both of them said; he stood out, because he didn't go with the crowd like most college kids, but he was also a total team player. Usually at that age, in those days at least, you either went w/ the crowd, or you were a total outcast, but Namath was able to pull off being his own man.

Alabama for decades would find a diamond-in-the-rough from another region but it wasn't until Bear that Bama became a nationwide recruiting program. And the arrival of Beaver Falls' (PA) best, not only opened the door for the likes of a Derrick Vlasic (1992 Nat Champ starting RB) from Long Island, NY and future-NFL first-rounder CB Minkah Fitzpatrick (NJ) on the ball field but academically, in the 1960's so many students started coming to Tuscaloosa from throughout the north (especially the high-population eastern seaboard states like PA, NY and NJ). Bear Bryant transformed UA in more than just football and Joe was a big part of it. I know a few in my hometown and nearby Birmingham who came from up north to Tuscaloosa and have made a life here in AL and they went to school during or shortly after Namath's era. What a legacy!

Always loved Joe's attitude, and new that there was more to him that the media would allow people to know. Great biography! With 3 minutes of commercials each break.
"Who knows, maybe if we'da played Baltimore 10 times, they'da won one." (sly grin) His confidence was so engaging - and funny! 😎
One of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
I played softball against Joe and his Bachelors 3 bar in Ft Lauderdale, and Joe was as nice a guy as you could ever imagine. All the small time jealous haters on here should meet the man before they run their mouths
gonzo outthere LOVE Joe Willie !!❤️😁👍👍
Lll
@Sub if you are against Antifa and BLM lol Joe has severe erectile dysfunction at his age. Boy can't get it up
I played for Bachelors III.
I still have my jersey!

The "prediction" was actually Namath blurting out something out of annoyance due to a sports writer's question concerning how big an underdog the Jets were for the Super Bowl. As for the HOF, Namath will say himself that he is at least statistically, one of the lower QBs in The Hall. Having said all of that, Namath was a cultural phenomenon and if nothing else, deserves to be in the HOF for that reason. In 1965, I was 12 years old and a Namath fan. That Christmas I asked for a llama skin rug for my bedroom because I read that Namath had one. (I did not get it.)
A release as quick as Marino; threw as hard as Elway and Young; could captain a game as well as Montana and Starr; and had as much fun playing the game as...well, he was at the top of that. If only Joe Willie played with two good knees...
I remember watching Jets games on TV. He'd drop back 10 yards to pass, then get chased back another 10 and have to scramble back another 10 - so he was 30 yards behind scrimmage. A defense mob swarmed him regularly and then the ball come shooting out, always on target!
and called all the plays!!!!!!
@@norwood1956 - That alone should make him one of the best ever. Today they have receivers in their helmets, offensive and defensive guys in the booth calling the plays. In Joe's day, the QB ran the team. Today's teams are more polished, but the game lacks something. It's about contracts, drafting, lots of complications.
Love Namath! First "star" quarterback in the NFL. Only problem was his tendency to throw ints.
Joe still comes to games at Bama. We still love him
The most famous football player of all time.
You were the best Joe!
Best QB of all time Dan Marino !,,
A Crimson Tide Legend. Roll Tide Joe!
To me Joe Namath is the best Quarterback & he will always be my favorite . He got injured & stayed & played in the games. I have loved Joe since the 1960s & I still love Broadway Joe 🏈💚❤
the greatest uncircumcised QB to ever play the game!
We love Joe!
I do too; he is one of the greatest. Always confident and justifiably that way
Great biography. Well done. I had always been a big fan of Joe, his life story is very interesting. From his youth, family upbringing, high school, college and pro football and now how he helps people with brain neurological disorders. You have to remember too that his knee injury was very serious and really hampered his ability. If he hadn't gotten injured who knows how great his stats may have been better. Like Winston Hill said...A very special character.
I'm from Aliquippa , which is about 10 miles south of Beaver Falls. All of the people in Beaver County are the same way. A great place to grow up. The decline of the Steel Industry decimated the area and most people my age had to leave for better opportunity. When I hear Joe talk in this documentary, I feel like I'm down the local pub listening to him. I seen him in NYC in around 1995. I shouted out "Hey Beaver County boy" His head popped up from what he was doin. We talked for a few minutes. Felt like I knew him my whole life !!
That's great Mike, I bet it was a great place to grow up before the Steel Industry decline. I live in South Jersey and i knew a couple of people from the Pittsburgh area that settled here in the late '60's early '70's. Very friendly, happy kind of people you like to hang out with. There's a lot of great football players that came out of that area too. I read a few books about Joe when i was younger and he was always my favorite. Not only a great competitive football player but quite a character too. Thanks for replying!
What can you tell us some of the things he talked about
Yes he was the most important QB in Football history! He brought the AFL to equal status with the NFL with his attitude and his VICTORY in the 1968 super bowl! That changed everything! It validated the AFL with respect to the merger. It opened the door to big salaries for all the good players in the AFL. He was also the perfect star for the television era! The NFL owes a lot to Joe Willie Namath!! He turned football into big time entertainment. He was so much more than his stats as a quarterback. He was the first big star!
in santa Monica, CA., in the early 70's , joe hit on my mom at a diner, she declined him but made sure to get his autograph from him for her son , thanx to both .
thanks for the great post!
When I was a kid growing up, Broadway Joe was my hero. He was a big deal...a mega star.
He was a legend in the bar he owned, now he's in all the bars, all the time
Legend & charming ; Like Sinatra , he did his way *
The more I learn about Joe, The more I respect the man. 46:35 A young Steve Carell.
Gotta love joe!! God this makes me feel old. Those commercials!! 😂
I remember when he was in college, and in the sports page Of the evening journal. Throwing The ball through the moving Tires in a tune up for the bowl Game. About fifty five years Ago. I was 14, and he must've Been 20. So Joe's almost 80 now.
Jet wide receiver, George Sauer, was another interesting character; who left the NFL early, because of its socially regressive policies, and lack of concern for players as people.
I like watching these old programs just for the commercials.

He was destined for greatness
He looks a lot like John Travolta...
Joe was confident in Joe that’s what every quarterback should be .
The Ric Flair of pro football.
16:58 Great commentary by the late Dr. Z.
He will always be a BAMA legend, and he always speaks highly of Bear Bryant RTR
My cousin was a graduate assitant at Alabama, when Joe Namath was there. Also, his wife was a teaching assistant and had Namath in her class. Both of them said; he stood out, because he didn't go with the crowd like most college kids, but he was also a total team player. Usually at that age, in those days at least, you either went w/ the crowd, or you were a total outcast, but Namath was able to pull off being his own man.
People forget just how great a passer he was
Straight masterpiece.🙌🏼👍🏼🙏🏽
He lived the coolest life
My man!!
joe's a good guy and a great player.
As minimum edit out the commercials. Great upload!
The most important quarterback in NFL history.
Alabama for decades would find a diamond-in-the-rough from another region but it wasn't until Bear that Bama became a nationwide recruiting program. And the arrival of Beaver Falls' (PA) best, not only opened the door for the likes of a Derrick Vlasic (1992 Nat Champ starting RB) from Long Island, NY and future-NFL first-rounder CB Minkah Fitzpatrick (NJ) on the ball field but academically, in the 1960's so many students started coming to Tuscaloosa from throughout the north (especially the high-population eastern seaboard states like PA, NY and NJ). Bear Bryant transformed UA in more than just football and Joe was a big part of it. I know a few in my hometown and nearby Birmingham who came from up north to Tuscaloosa and have made a life here in AL and they went to school during or shortly after Namath's era. What a legacy!

The best football release in history
Marino came close.
Al Michaels is very smooth and says it like it is. I was lucky growing up in Cincinnati Ohio, because I grew up listening to AL Michaels on the Radio Station WLW. I always said that he'll be one of the Best. And same with Chris Collinsworth is another Natural announcer. They make a good team. There's a Game with Greg Cook against Joe Namath that should have been mentioned.
Joe tore his knee up at Alabama. He never got to play in the NFL as the complete athlete he was.
Roll Tide🏈🌊💯
Joe Montana. My top pick.
In just had my right knee replaced...Joe could make a movie about having that done to both knees! Lol
A legendary man
What I don’t hear anyone ever mentioned about JN is his insightfulness of the situation. Pay attention to the way he answered difficult questions or when he rationalized a circumstance. His IQ and EQ are definitely in a special class.
Broadway Joe, greatest nickname in sports.
I met joe and some of the players at boadway joes. Sam deluca came to my football ceremony dinner
Joe Namath is the ONLY quarterback of all time. That’s my vote!
Play hard party hard,, joe Namath
A truly NY Icon won our only Super Bowl he guaranteed
It strikes me that Joe Namath is extremely well spoken with excellent pronunciation and mike skills. Glad he didn't but how in the world did he fail to get into the University of Maryland?
It's probably good that Joe went to college at Alabama where they had strict rules about drinking. Because having grown up in a Steel Mill town outside of Pittsburgh, he was already drinking in the bars as a teenager! It was a "Shot and a Beer" town. There were so many bars in those Mill towns, that if you acted old enough and had money they would serve you! Had he gone to Pitt, Penn State, or WV, he may have drunk himself to death!
I think I love him. :)
That's rite baby!! U just find a way to win!!!
He was the face of the AFL for it's last 5 seasons
What was the date of the interview with Joe talking about the guarantee?
My childhood hero
thanks for the reply ....1 day ago
Terry was a very shy person.
Maybe you'll watch : Dean Martin celebrity roast . Joe Namath
Amazing DART like precision
I am still waiting for my Jets to win another super bowl
oh my gosh! Michael Scott in a Fed-Ex commercial... ThreatLLevel Midnight!
40:47 funny, how Joe acquired a "New Yawk" accent at this press conference.
....@ 20:04 - ..... check out that quick release ...
Devastating, unmatched!!
Absolutely perfect ⭐️
A fifth of liquor every day for 45 years and 2 packs of camel cigarettes a day is what did Namath in
Saw Super Bowl three, on TV; I was 12.......i'm old. How funny, to see an open-ended stadium in a Super Bowl! 30:42 Lost seating revenue, folks.
brainsareus me too!,, I fell in love with him. Love him
I imagine he helped sell the NFL as good as anyone.
Oh shit. I remember these commercials. What does that mean?
This is playing like a movie in my mind…lol
So John Travolta totally bit off Joe Namath personality, the way he talked & all of that for his characters huh?
❤said u r so right half the QBs that r playing now wouldn't lasts n Tom Brady would have been one of than
I watch UTube to not see commercials, why do i want to watch bad looking video and putting up with all these commercials?
Interesting how Alabama "Tide" has virtually become an all Black football team the last 10yrs!
I think Joe and Mike Nesmith were separated at birth.
