Joe Namath

Joe Namath played professional football from 1965-1977. He was number 12 and a fantastic quarterback. He played for the New York Jets. His Nickname was Broadway Joe because he was an entertainer in Broadway and some stared in some commercials. In one he shaved his legs for something called beauty mist. He played in the 3rd Superbowl against the Baltimore Colts.  Broadway Joe Vs Johnny U. Broadway Joe for the first time in the AFC history guaranteed that they would win super bowl III. Broadway Joe was nominated number 100 of NFL top 100 best players of all time. He just made the list. The first time in football history all receivers and their quarterback (Joe Namath) has ever made it to the pro bowl was done by the Jets.

Sixteen to 7 Joe didn't let his team down. He was made Superbowl MVP of the year. Looks like  Broadway Joe made the Super III guarantee. Eight years later he got traded to the Los Angeles Rams, that was his last year playing. Lots of people were thinking he should have been nicknamed no Kneed Joe or Late hit Joe because the defense use to always come up and sack Joe after the play so he aways had busted knees. Especially the Raiders defense. There were rules made because of there late hits.
