Tonight, Joe Namath is scheduled to be on Hannity & Colmes. This is on the Fox News Channel at 9pm ET. The subject is supposed to be Namath's "trials and tribulations." Namath was recently on 60 Minutes, but I missed it. Mamath has the distinction of being the last white athlete who was promoted as a charismatic figure by the media, and was the most famous pro athlete of the late 60's.

Namath has a new book out, which is the reason for his media blitz. He was in this area yesterday at a book signing. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette sports section ran an article about it with the headline "Namath Remains a Big Draw, Despite Admitted Flaws."


Thisheadline raises two questions in my mind: 1. Can only those people be a "big draw" who have no flaws? In that case no one would qualify so why mention "flaws" in the headline. 2. Namath's "flaws" are so egregious as to have to be referred toin the headline.


And what are Namath's "flaws"? According to the article, it was his asking Suzy Kolber to kiss him during an interview on a nationally televised football game while in an inebriated state; and being a recovering alcoholic.


That's it. No arrests, no drug dealing, no assaults, no wife or girlfriend beating. He's an admitted and recovering alcoholic, and that must now be obligatorily attached to every mention of his name, much as it was with Mickey Mantle, or the way KKK is attached to David Duke.


We're just not allowed to have white heroes, even former counterculture celebrities like Joe Namath. If Namath is "flawed," then what is Jim Brown??? Well known black athletes can have arrest records as long as their arm, but aren't referred to in a derogatory manner in headlines and articles. Namath is being allowed to capitalize (make money) on his book, but it comes with a Caste System price.

Maybe good ol' Broadway Joe will entertain me again when he gets all Scotched up and tries to smootch Sean Hannity. Hey, its a hell of a lot better than Suzie Kolber.

Actually, the Kolber incident was not that bad. In fact SHE was lucky, because all Joe did when she refused him was laugh and play it off. If he were black and Kolber shot him down, she's probably be in a rape-crisis center right now. Because we know how the "bruthas" get when their sexual advances are turned down. Statistics don't lie.

Namath was not a great role model although he was an outstanding passer who revolutionized football and did more to make it America's unofficial religion(for better or worse) than anybody else in my opinion.

Namath would do whatever it took to be weird an different just to be messed up for no reason.
Who'd wanna rape Kolber? She is not that attractive.
She should of kissed him on TV. It would have been fun and everyone would've went wild.

"despite admitted flaws"leave it to the controlled media to put that label on Namath!he was a terrific quarterback from Pennsylvania who loved life,women,and the drink!


Can anyone say that they would not have done the same!he has been lionized because he is White! Mexico is not 1/3 the quarterback that Joe was!

Ghetto blacks would, and just because she's White. They'll rape anything that moves. Why do you think AIDS and Hep-C run rampant in prisons?
