Brian yeah
thats got to be disappointing
what a well played game
our next guest played in the
first ever Monday night football
game. Fifty years ago,
Howard Cosell was still in fifth
grade
hall of Famer. Joe Namath joins
us now,
Joe great to see you.
We just had to get your take on
a couple of major issues.
First, off 43 year old
quarterback, Tom Brady whos,
another tough one. Are you
beginning to see the age on him
at all?
Well, no, not really
I mean ive seen him play
better. He misfires once in a
while. You know,
I think he could start for other
teams in the NFL as a well
im glad hes out there, the im
a fan
I like watching that man work
Brian. I cannot believe at forty three,
this guys playing quarterback.
The other big issue, sadly, is
Joe Burrows, one of the most
promising rookies to come into
the NFL. We cant show the
footage anymore because of
licensing, but he broke. He
snapped his mcl and ACL plague
for the since Gnat few Bengals
and they said Alslso structural
issues.
Youre a guy thatted had about
six knee operations.
What does that do to a
quarterback?
Well, you know its
heartbreaking to a degree of
course, but it is a joint just
a joint,
a lot of guys go through it.
Lady luck plays a major role in
sports and life with injuries
and illness.
Today these guys are getting the
best medical treatment. They can
theyve done. Many of these
operations over the years now
and Dr Jim Nicholas did my
first knee operation. That was a
new process
and now theyve revised things
and hell recover and
hopefully hell be as good as
new, because hes a terrific
player, and we want to see him
out There-
Brian Joe, I dont, know if you
have a monitor there, but do you
see? Do you remember this
picture? Super bowl iii? You
shocked the world, your
prediction comes true and Joe
Gnaw, math wins. The super bowl.
Ney mat wins the super bowl,
the back of your jersey with the
number one up in the air.
What were your thoughts as you
look at this today?
Right now I get goose bumps
I can still Brian. I can still
feel some of that man.
It was wonderful
again being an underdog hike
that the New York fans, the
AFL people telling me you cant
do this. You cant do that.
Well, you know somewhat.
We won one for the underdog for
every underdog out there today
dont give up man,
you can do it just keep working
at it.

picture means a lot to and hes
