Still have his autograph on a bar napkin from Bill's Meadowbrook across from Hofstra. Happy Birthday Joe Willie.
He's still the only NY Jets QB ever to reach and win a SB. The hard thing to believe is that Joe still is a fan of the Jets. Perhaps not of the homeristic variety but a fan nevertheless. Happy Bday Joe! Go have a drink on me!!
I know he's not the most fun to listen to now (although he's not often wrong) but you still have to respect the guy for what he did for this team. I know it was a long time ago but there are a lot of teams who haven't ever won a Super Bowl or even been to the Super Bowl.
Fuck Rex, Happy Birthday Joe. Joe Willie Namath made the NFL what it is today , the best major Sport.
You know when I watched that HBO Special a few years back that was the 1st thing I noticed. He had a rifle attached to his shoulder. He was the original gunslinger.
Joe was the reason I became a Jets fan. Unfortunately it was after the Super Bowl. The sound of the ball when he threw it. Happy Birthday Joe. Say whatever you want, whenever you want!
Namath: "It seems almost un-American to me for a bachelor not to go have a drink with a lady now and then." Happy Birthday, Joe Willie Namath.
In his mind, he's the quarterback. He wants the team to win as much or more than the most rabid fan does. I have monumental respect for the man. Many more, Joe!
