Great interview with Joe Namath , I have loved Joe Namath since the 1960s & I still do . To me Joe Namath is the best Quarterback & he will always be my favorite . When he got injured in games he still stayed in the games. Joe is a legend, will always love Broadway Joe 🏈💚❤

This is the best interview series I've ever watched in my life. Bravo Graham bravo

I'm no football fan, but I remember Mr. Namath from my childhood and my father and brother's conversations who are football fans. This was an excellent all around interview.

love Joe. A F'n man's man. Just cooler than mortal men.

I have to agree with him, 4 game preseason sucks when the entire regular season is just 16 games, just split it in the middle, 18 game regular season, 2 game preseason

So enjoying these interview videos with Joe

Agree about time for a 18 Game NFL Season

You did a good job, Graham, you were well researched and even when you tackled an "iffy" subject like sex and drinking, it wasn't turned into anything sleazy or sensationalistic. I enjoyed listening to Joe who was my hero back then after Mickey Mantle retired the town was Joe's. A lot of the younger Jets fans really have no idea of what it was like back in the NYC Metropolitan Area in the late '60s and early '70s. It was a great sports town and the Jets were the rulers of it with Joe when he was healthy.

Cool...nothing more to say...just....cool

This dude is truly a national treasure. Players today are soft. Not physically but as far as work ethic and complaints about work loads.

I ❤️Joe, awesome I wonder if Brady has a second job? I'm Canadian🇨🇦 The CFL has had an 18 game season for as long as I can remember.

This girl from Tuscaloosa loves Joe Namath♥️

[mrdgenerate]

So.... Why not just make preseason ONE GAME...? Then start the season, same number of games.

[hush-]

Well he got something close enough. 17-game season from now on.

I was a Colts fan in 1968 when Joe Namath taught a 13 year old kid reality ! I still have my Tom Matte # 41 Jersey and my # 12 Joe Namath from my youth, I'm 71 . Joe should know about getting hit late ! Ben Davidson of the Raiders hated him . Ike Lassiter broke Joes jaw one year. We are proud of John Unitas, Joe Namath and Dan Marino ( Kid ) here in Pa . . They sure can pass in Western Pa. ?

The only damn good thing to come out of UAT in Tuscaloser.
