@@lindaderry8469 In the early days of The AFL owners had to do a lot of promoting to catch The NFL. Outbidding The NFL for popular college players then promoting those players was a successful way to promote the AFL. Mr. Werblin, owner of the Jets was a Broadway producer and Joe Willie Namath was his project to promote. With that - so to answer your question Joe's picture got on the cover of Sports Illustrated and the background in the picture was Broadway at night. Joe's offensive lineman (can't remember his name) say the picture In the Jets locker room and immediately said BROADWAY JOE. Joe Willie Namath was the GOAT. No one in sports - in Hollywood could be compare to him. I heard someone say at an airport everyone ran to see Joe not The Rolling Stones who were in the same airport at the same time. Thanks Linda. I also heard Joe say "he was born rich" but everyone knew his family was dirt poor.

Joe Namath has been an unbelievable ambassador for the University of Alabama over the years, and as an Alabama fan I am forever grateful. He could have left Alabama and the South in the dust following his departure from college, but he has remained linked, by choice, to Alabama’s program and its fans for decades. Maybe more so than the Jets franchise, for which he won a Superbowl. Thank you for keeping us in your heart, Joe.

So, he sent Franklins tapes to Nebraska, something a little unethical but he knew Franklin was worth more than sitting on a bench. Sure enough, Nebraska signed Franklin and the rest is history.

I grew up in Tuscaloosa during the the Joe Willie/Coach Bryant reign. I worked as a junior high schooler at an Exxon service station across the River in Northport which was the gateway to Lake Tuscaloosa recreation area. Joe had a gold convertible Cadillac Deville land yacht that made the stop on a regular at our service station on the way up to the lake. There were usually 2-3 young ladies that were along for the ride up to the lake. Coach Bryant lived just up the road from the service station and was a regular customer. He stopped by to fill up with gas pretty much every Sunday morning on his way to his favorite breakfast spot, "The Waysider". Great memories to be sure and The Crimson Tide ruled the SEC.

After halftime the Jets came back on the field and my friends thought we spotted Namath, he was wearing a warmup jacket with a different number but we noticed his distinctive facemask and started yelling "Joe, Joe!" He was on the other side of the tunnel but he worked his way over to where we were and shook our hands. A great memory and I still tell that story.

I don’t think any man loved Joe Willie more than my dad and I don’t think he was ever happier than when the Jets won the ‘69 Super Bowl. What a year for us New York sports fans. The Jets won the Super Bowl, the Mets won the World Series, and the Knicks won the NBA championship!

Unitas...Montana...Marino...Kelly...Broadway Joe. All western PA guys and 5 of the greatest players in NFL history. Joe changed the entire league forever.

Yup. Few know that. Also, there was a kid from New Castle PA named Ricky Sumner. Another great Western PA quarterback. I believe he was the starter in the PA East West all star game, over Joe Montana. Great quarterback too. I don't think he had the grades to make it into college though.

Spent an afternoon on LSU campus during the Spring while school was still in session. I thought the coeds at Univ of Texas were beautiful, until I stepped foot on the LSU campus. It was wave after wave of beautiful woman. Volume and quantity ,uch greater than UT, though UT is incredible, too.

Joe was one of Bear's boys back when a reporter asked Bear.."Why is every ceremony at Alabama held on your football field and not the auditorium ? Is that a sign of respect for you??" Well no it's because most of my players can't find anything inside the school.

Joe is not wrong. Alabama is still head and shoulders over Notre Dame and any other colleges up north when it comes to women. Southern women are way more beautiful.

@@richardhead-sw2qc He's right about Notre Dame women. I had some friends that traveled to Notre Dame when Alabama got their rear ends handed to them I think 31-3? in 1986 or 1987. They said there wasn't one good looking woman in the stadium.

Growing up in the SE, I witnessed the signs he's talking about over doors and water fountains. The South was a mean place for whites who did not ascribe to prevailing thought concerning race. The movie, "Remember the Titans", always makes me cry, because I (a "white") went through many of those experinces Namath had. I made the mistake of taking one my black school friends to my dad's pastorate one Sunday there in N ALA. IT WASN'T PLEASANT, LET ME TELL YOU.

As a kid growing up in the 60s, early 70s in Alabama, you loved Joe Willie. Your parents loathed everything about him. As you age, most of us figure out what hot air is and Joe Willie, he's full of hot air. First off, everyone knows what Bryant was, a drunk. A great coach, and a great drunk. After you see past the smoke of Joe Willie, you see exactly what he was also. Bill Walton on a fb field.

The Federal government forced Alabama to change, at least on the surface. But guess what? Alabama is still Alabama, and so is most of the south. In addition, those states are retrograding and finding other ways and other people to oppress.

There's racism in all 50 states. Actually the South has handled it better than most places during the 21st Century.
