  Thank you for your attention

[edit] Joe's drunken on-air comments

I edited this part of the section about controversy to reflect a more neutral point of view. The article seemed to blow the incident off by stating that he "jokingly" told the interviewer that he wanted to kiss her. How are we to know whether Joe was joking or not? The section also included a personal interpretation of what Joe meant by his "I couldn't care less about the team struggling," comment. This was also revised.

Nice edit. --Jaisonline 16:24, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Movie and television career

The Movie and television career section really needs updating. For example, Namath also performed in numerous musicals and plays (one even on Broadway) usually to rave reviews. I'm currently reading the book "Namath" and will come back to edit / append to this section. --Jaisonline 19:00, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Personal Life

Prob would make sense to create this section. It can contain refs to his marriage, two children and friendships (etc..) What do you all think? --Jaisonline 19:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC) I just read on ESPM.com they are making a moving of him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.186.159.11 (talk) 23:16, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Remembering.

As a kid, I distinctly remeber two things in contrast to this article. 1. The first contest between Green Bay and K.C. was already called the Super Bowl. 2. Joe Namath wore a Fu-Manchu with the lower lip "goatee" during the Super Bowl. I know, I could reproduce it perfectly in every magazine in our junior high library. Check the cover of S.I. covering Super Bowl III. "Super Hero Super Joe" showed him taking a hit from a squirt bottle. Also, I remember all the West-Texas stiff-upper-lip Republican types calling him a homo for wearing WHITE SHOES. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.38.10.84 (talk) 15:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Joe Willy

While Howard Cosell's use of the nick name Joe Willy made it more famous, it began at the University of Alabama. There, One night after a winning performance with Tide on way to no. 1, Namath- a little boozed up, flashed for some coed, and that caused his being suspended 1-2 games. Then, he was known on campus shortly thereafter, as "Joe Willy".

While Namath was respected and liked on campus, he never came to party at the frequent frat parties as many of his team mates did; Why i dont know. But I guess this incident made him uncharacteristically shy.
