Joe Namath's Untold Triumph: From Steel Mills to Super Bowl Glory | Undeniable with Joe Buck 

That is a great story 👏 👌 😀

Awesome!

I also met Ghandi and MLK. Nice fellows.

WOW !! Joe Namath AND Gale Sayers. Big Respect !!

So articulate and such a great raconteur that if I had not known who he was I would have thought he was a college history professor.

Yo.. I support u.

That's a really nice story. Thanks for sharing.

Lol

That’s a fact, today if you yell to loud at a quarterback it’s a flag. It is a vulnerable spot to be in but thats football, took some of the excitement out of the game with all the rule changes

Extremely tough Joe talking bartender " I'm in so much pain" And Ike Lassiter pounds him " I didn't want to get up but when I heard him talking above me I had to get up" You can't let your enemies rejoice over you😊😊

Plenty, an overated alcholic

remember that photo of YA Tittle down on his knees bleeding from his head?...kind of says it all...

I think that can be said in most all sports!

sometime the brain goes first....sometime it's the body....varies from person to person

Bruh, U got my support with that.!!

OJ,, JOE NAMATH, JIM BROWN... actually changed the game. They get no props.. I'm sure their others,, but , growing up, we played sports,, those were the guys..

Oh, I can't forget DR J..

'.. _there're_ others.."' @@flintfleming3935

Release, maybe. Spirals were nice, Jurgenson. AIkman, Moon threw more consistent beautiful spirals.

Bill Walsh thought so.

U heard the HISS 2 ??.

More interceptions than TD.... That ok.. HE HAD THE GREEN LIGHT. GOT A RING DESPITE ALL THAT.. !!!!

Yes joe could throw a beautiful pass

18 pts dogs, if I remember. I was 12 in Ebensburg watching the game. We figured the Jets had the better QB and the better def. Buddy Ryan was on the defensive staff. I was a Broadway Joe fan and Jets fan before I became a lifelong Steelers fan. It seemed like the Jets were on every week during that period.

@@michaelshettig7805 I grew up in west central PA [Altoona area]. I'm a life long Steelers fan, but I liked Joe Namath after meeting him at that pick up game - he and two friends were driving by, saw us young guys playing football and they stopped and asked if they could join in. I didn't know Namath at the time [I think I was a sophmore in high scholl at the time]. Anyhoo...Joe was really a nice dude and damn, could he throw the football - my hands stung for about three days. When the Jets drafted Joe, I thought 'dang...I played football with the guy.' I followed Joe's career with the Jets while still rooting for the Steelers. When Namath and the Jets went to the SB, I just knew they'd win based on that one interaction. Joe's football intelligence was and still is amazing! Be well...

Close to where I grew up. I'm working down here in the Woodlands, Texas area in the early 2000's playing pickup BB on the local courts. One dude that played with us was a limo driver. Big smack talker. He picks up Broadway at the Airport with another buddy. Drives them to their destination. He keeps quiet for a while. But then he says he starts smack talking with Joe about his college career. They were having fun. Joe writes him a nice note and signs it. He kept it in plastic and showed it to us at the courts. Nice gesture.

SB III and IV were basically a package...the first achieved parity...the second implied dominance...the AFL had arrived!

after the first two blowouts by the Packers...and the media build-up of the Colts as just as good...few thought the Jets would win...this game was a real shocker...@@ross6343

he led Beaver Falls to an uncontested HS championship in a very tough league...then arrived on the national stage at Alabama...still remember that Texas game..had to go to a neighbor's house to watch it in color...then, of course the big bucks with the Jets and his exploits in the big apple and all that attention..quite a story

@@frankpienkosky5688 oh my goodness in color. 😄 bought my first color tv it was a 13"?? Sony, +~1984

Joe Buck told us…😉

I grew up in Aliquippa PA. Home of Mike Ditka, Darelle Revis, Ty Law, Sean Gilbert and Tony Dorsett and only 15 minutes from Namaths home in Beaver falls. It’s a hothead of football talent unlike any other region in the country.

@@francopasta3704 Surprisingly, he didn't mention Joe Montana.

After I posted@@francopasta3704

I'm from Miami played football... during summer break of 9th grade played sand lot tackle with some guys in the Pittsburgh suburbs, those were some tough talented people, very similar to Miami!

Living legend

Bruh, I echo your sentiments. I grew up not to far from Hofstra U. Where the JETS CAMP WAS. ALL I REMEMBER WAS THE HISS COMING OFF THE BALL WHEN HE THRU IT!!

I’m age 70 this summer. I grew up in butler Pa and saw the best high school football players when they played butler in the “AA”. I was just a little too young to remember Broadway Joe in Beaver Falls. These steel towns fielded some unbelievable talent to the game. As Joe says in his interview, we had coaching who cared enough to get involved with youth sports. Ellwood City, Farrell, Sharon, New Castle, Butler played some battles! These teams couldn’t lose a single game if they wanted to be voted champions of their Conference using the Gardner Point System. My how life has changed. 👴🏻

To us kids who grew up in West Hempstead,, Three guys stand out.. Mr Namath, THE Juice, Walt Clyde Frazier..

Friday night lights...it was the place to be!....@@tacey01

Joe's team was the only undefeated team that year....so no need for a playoff....@@tacey01

who’s game is it now.????? You must be watching lingerie football league 😂

QB's are coddled somewhat now...back then they were fair game@@gobigorange

Namath is a humble man knows what real in life! Special person! Raised humbly by his parents! Today there are way to many that feel entitled a lot of punks!

He had problems with alcohol. He doesn't drink anymore.

Shoot,, nobody perfect,, he own up, got help,, he decent.. He always that guy in my book!

The reporter was Suzy Kolber. I will always love her for not acting too offended by his words after the event. She could have made it real tough on Joe. He made a mistake and he apologized to her and she let it go and didn’t feed the fire.

​@@flintfleming3935How many guys do same stuff but he happened be on tv ! I don't even want to know how much ass of myself I made when drinking! Die of emmbarassment!!

And was lucky enough to have played for the 🐻 at Alabama

Yes bruh. Solid!!

Yes!!! Thanx. He was that GUY!

Plus duplicated in Wpial baseball championship game at Forbes Field Maz's 1960 World Series winning homer in batting practice in front of his teamates ! What power Forbes was expansive outfield fences!!

457 ft...so far they even left the batting cage out there...was lucky enough to get luxury box seats...only place in the park where you could get a beer@@davidmahady8241

He still has IT! And, he’s charming to the Nth.

Amazing how well he handled the media and came up with right answers but seemed to always credit teamates !!Probably one of first nationally telecast games famous announcer Jim Mc kay " arnt you nervous"? " Well you always are but when you have group of guys like these behind you ,Alabama is a Good team you don't worry too much"!!! Excellant poised answer from 20 year old kid!!

@@davidmahady8241 yes! He always gave credit to his teammates without being falsely modest. I still have a dirty spot on my cheek where he kissed it Dec 1, 2006 at a booksigning in T-town. Never going to wash it! 😉😊😂❤️🐘🏈

guys like Joe forced the merger...clearly this new league now had the talent to compete....and three of the old league teams promptly joined it....

Probably touchy from hangover ! I'm serious and frustrated on his play !! Plus maybe felt you in appropriate being on field !! Choose one probably all 3!!

@@davidmahady8241 It wasn’t inappropriate to be on the field in those days. They would start the countdown to end the game at 10 seconds and by the time the referee shot the pistol, the field was already mobbed with hundreds of people. It was just standard practice back in the day. Fans no longer count down the last seconds. And there is no gun to signify the end of the game anymore. And today fans going down on the field would be prosecuted. These were different times. I think he was just embarrassed because he had a terrible game and he thought I was being sarcastic.

@@mtp4430 Probably same thing happened to guy with Sergio Garcia he said " nice shot " and for a pro it probably was poor so Sergio took it as sarcasm and gave him the finger! " Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood"(Animals Eric Burton)

@@davidmahady8241 Yeah, it’s probably like the Sergio Garcia situation. I didn’t mean any harm. I’m just a soul who’s intentions are good 😂

yeah, know the feeling...you often get only one chance to meet someone famous...and it leaves a lasting impression one way or the other.....

Well said!

I think Joe significantly more intelligent than most people even basic football observations He said " you can't get your backs or receivers to run full speed in practice ( injuries lazy whatever) so in actual game it's hard to correctly lead them with a pass they run faster in an actual game"!!! And " I know football better than anyone " I believe him I think great coach probably!!

Joe is the REAL REAL

He met a nerdy guy at church in Alabama the complete opposite of a football star but when Joe heard the guy was stuck with no ride from airport he broke training and went and picked the guy up brought him back to campus They became big friends but according to that friend " Joe thought rules were only rules if you got caught"

466 yards one shootout with Unitas that Jets won!! Amazing!

Yes!! I lived in West Hempstead. I rode my bike to Hofstra and stood by the fence during preseason workouts. He was that guy!!

Me too!

Don'r hold your breath on Rodgers. Humility challenged.

maybe it was those white shoes?...Jets looked sharp those days....

all the glory, all of the fame...still only one SB just the same@@franksayre9011

My father told me his mother made him work in the mill " I'm really glad she did because then I knew what I didn't want to do"!!

that's where they shot the Tom Cruise movie "All the Right Moves"...heard those boys beat him up a bit...he still talks about those hits....

I was a die hard Baltimore Colts fan and I sat down to watch what I thought would be a one-sided affair. While Johnny U was available to start, Don Shula started Earl Morrall in the SB and he stunk up the field. Unitas came into the game late in the 3rd quarter and led Bmore to its only TD. The teams didn't compare on paper but games aren't played on paper. The Colts were, as Weeb Ewbank said, vastly overconfident. At the time, I thought Joe Namath was brash and braggadocious. I thought so for years. Watching this interview has given me a newfound respect for Namath. He wasn’t bragging after all; he was just confident in himself and in his teammates. There's a difference. I loved his quote about Confidence. A lot of Jets QBs have chased the ghost of Joe Namath since he won SB 3 and none have achieved what Joe did. As a longstanding Bmore fan, I was hoping that Jersey Joe Flacco might be the one to bring another championship to the Jets but your current coach Robert Saleh wasn’t smart enough to put the ball in Joe's hands at the right times. The worst decision of all was the game two years ago when they were playing the Patriots in Foxboro and the young starter was stinking up the field. Saleh should have brought Flacco off the bench in the 2nd half of a very low scoring game. Flacco has always been a Patriots nemesis in Foxboro. He was too concerned about the young QB's fragile ego. Saleh is no Weeb Ewbank.

When u see him on the field,, he ain't look that big, but in person, he bigger than u think!

Fellow teacher to Bruno " you are Al Capone and Joe belongs to the mafia "At Beaver Falls ! More to his😊 story
