Bwahaha! Jed Cooper: You don't remember me, do you? Reno, Cooper Hanging Party: No. Jed Cooper: [showing his hanging scar] When you hang a man, you better look at him.
You and I have got to be the only assholes on the board with firearms in our avatars. It must look funny to some to see us in an exchange, post after post. They're probably like, WTF is this, did I accidentally log onto the NRA Message Board or what? LOL...
I had not noticed that before, but you are obviously correct. [Joe is putting the moves on Elma] Elma: How long have they had you locked up? Joe Kidd: Two days. Elma: What would you be like after two months? Joe Kidd: We wouldn't even be talking now.
I'll take up for Sexy Rexy til the day I die. Miss having him with us in Baltimore. Fuck off Namath!!
An excerpt from Mike Freeman's article. According to Freeman, the Jets brass wants Namath to shut his piehole too. link to article
It sounds like the Jets brass were more offended than anyone is letting on. But the article is right... if a former player had criticized Namath's team while he was on it he would have called him out big time.
Hasn't Joe embarrassed the organization enough? why is the organization afraid to move on from him? he's the embarrassing drunk uncle, just trot him out at a ceremony every few years butother than that we don't need to hear from this guy or have any association w/ him. All he does is embarrass the organization.
It's not exactly like the Jets organization has any choice in the matter -- they can't help if he decides to go on a random radio station/media outlet and talk shit about the Jets.
I don't see him that way. And I certainly wouldn't say that "all he does is embarass the organization." He probably doesn't mean much to younger Jets fans who weren't even born when Joe won the SB, but to the older fans he's still a symbol of what this team can do (but hasn't done since 1969)! As one poster pointed out, he not only established respect for the Jets, he established it for the entire AFC. The old AFL was thought of like Arena Football is thought of today... irrelevent and "not really football." They were pussies who couldn't compete with the "real men" of the NFL. When the AFL became the AFC, it was still looked at as inferior, the Titans included. So here he is with the Jets (Titans rename) and when the reporters asked him if he thought he at least had a chance of coming close to covering the spread, he said, "Cover the spread? Hell, we're going to win this game." And the media went freaking crazy... reporters thought he was nuts. And with all the womanizing and Boradway nonsense, how could he go out and beat the old school Colts? So I can't discard this guy... no way. There is no way I think he's embarrassing. Old and perhaps a little meddling, yeah, but I'd never consider him embarrassing. He's got too much respect from me for what he accomplished to call him "embarrassing."
I appreciate what he and the '68 team did(he gets way too much credit for winning w/ that great team) but the rest of his career was a colossal disappointment, he followed that up by failing as a broadcaster then the drunk sideline interview and the rambling interviews where he spews nonsense(not to mention the embarrassment on hard knocks). Enough already, we should only see him at reunions and when the team honors other players. I'm sick of him.
This argument is stupid, Tom Brady's freakish athleticism in the 1960s would be wasted at QB, he would probably be a WR, where he would look like prime Randy Moss.
