Joe Namath has football related brain damage
With Super Bowl XLVIII just two days away, on Friday evening "Piers Morgan Live" welcomes one of the big game's first stars, as Joe Namath joins the program for a primetime, face to face interview.
The man who famously guaranteed victory in 1969's Super Bowl III, "Broadway Joe" was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985. But nearly forty years after concluding a career that included more than 27 thousand passing yards, Namath admits that the brutality of the game he loves has taken its toll.
Speaking with Piers Morgan, tonight the 70-year-old reveals details of health issues that he's experiencing, and the results of testing he's undergone:
"I was thinking I have grandchildren, I have daughters. It behooved me to find out what was going on," Namath tells the host. "There were areas in my brain where the cells had ceased, quieted down tremendously. We were concerned a bit and so I have had some treatment and I feel great

Joe Namath, struh-gle-ling with brain damage.
Re: Joe Namath has football related brain damage
He had brain damage before football. Let's not blame everything on the game. Did Michael J. Fox play football?

That Joe got so much tail with that nose is equally impressive

Re: Joe Namath has football related brain damage
Broadway Joe probably lived a great life and banged many-a hot ladies in the 60s & 70s. Which is weird when you consider aside from that Super Bowl guarantee, his football career was very mediocre. It's good his pop culture life has managed to overshadow that.

This doesn't help the joint grievance filed by former players who legitimately suffer from post football degenerative neuro disease.
