Namath Gets Pounded

Maybe former Jets QB Joe Namath should just make comments to sideline reporters on national television while he is drunk. That seems easier than the firestorm he is in with the current Jet team.

Jets OL Matt Slauson is the latest to tee off on Namath with his quote: "We don't care one bit what Joe Namath has to say. He means nothing to us."

It's unfortunate that things have reached this point with Namath and his former team. Namath is thirty years removed from the game. He is dealing with another generation. His comments seem to have no credibility with the Jets.

I don't know how he can repair his relationship with them. Namath is not a commentator or analyst. Former players such as Tedy Bruschi and Rodney Harrison can criticize their former team because of their new role in the media.

I think Namath will be forever known for his drunken rant while talking to sideline reporter Suzie Kolber. It was not one of his career highlights. He lost a lot of credibility.
