Joe Namath: "Jets more interested in the headlines"


HOUSE

Recommended Posts

It amazes me how many Bills fans do not realize that the Jets D is a top 5 defense.

This is true.

 

Everyone focuses on the Jets offense, which is understandable. The Jets offense is not that strong.

 

The Jets defense is tough. Fred Jackson has struggled against them.

 

Which makes it more important for the Bills to show how strong their defense can be.

If you get a chance to watch the Piece on Namath on HBO i suggest it highly. It is great for guys who do not know the story and for some of you guys who were around i am sure you will find it interesting.

Namath has had his demons, but he also is/was a guy who said what he believed and then stuck by it. He nearly retired from football when the NFL forced him to sell his shares in a night club in NYC. The night club had mob ties, supposedly, and the NFL did not like the image it was associated with.

Being in my mid 30's i have no first hand knowledge of the 60's or Joe's great run and Super Bowl victory. He was maybe the first sports figure to become a mainstream superstar.
