I’ve got a Joe Namath story to share. My father was a drinking buddy with Joe Willie. As a kid (little kid)I was going to the Bachelor III. The family story was Joe had me go out for a pass and he knocked me over. My brother and myself were always in our Jets uniforms and/or helmets. My Mother was not a big fan of Joe’s (due to his drinking and skirt chasing). My father was at Super bowl III and brought back a signed football with all of the player signatures. Well as a kid I wanted to play with that ball and did with some of my friends on the street. I still remember the beating I got for that. I still have that ball and you can almost see the writing.
