Football Great Talks About His Drinking Problem With Bob Simon

[ciajeankyle]

Dear Mr. Namuth:

You may not be drinking alcohol, but with charm, humor and grace you have aged like the finest Napoleon Brandy. After watching the 60 Minutes interview, I found myself with a smile and sense of happiness shared. I thought you were %u201Ccool%u201D so many years ago. I was a shrieking fan (via TV) at THE Super Bowl. But I really like the man you have become.

Hi, great program this evening, Joe. I, too, remember your panty hose commercial, I loved your smile. You are just as great looking now. My son just called to tell me that you and I would make a great couple and I should email you. I am 58, 5'4, slender and available! I sell real estate in southeast lower Michigan and love to travel. You are probably receiving millions of emails because of your comments on this evening's show, but I wanted to send this anyway. Congratulations on pulling your life back together. You have another whole life with a bunch of years to live, and it will be so much more fun! Having grandchildren is great, too, I have 3, and they are wonderful. I'd like to tell you all about them! Best wishes and God bless you!

Please pass this on to Mr. Namath: Here I am, Joe! Come and get me. I am 59 year old Catholic, Italian white girl. Divorced 10 years with two grown children. I am not interested in getting married; but, I wouldn't mind hanging out
with you. I was really impressed with your candid interview and your honesty. Yes, life hurts a lot at times....

Great Story about Broadway Joe. At 63 he looks *** good! This Philadelphia Eagles fan would like to meet him!!!

It was great to see Joe Namath again. I was a big Joe Namath fan back in the day and seeing him again was cool. How does one go about getting in touch with him? We used to be neighbors in S. Florida and I would like to say "hi".

Oops, I forgot to say that we live in Northern Virginia, just outside Washington D.C.

You go Joe... shat an inspiration to us all and not to proud to admit that you still struggle. Don't we all. I thought it was cute that the last comment was about women writing to you after the interview and ow silly it was.l And then I thought what the hell, why not...! I have lived in Florida since 1958 and can't imagine being anywhere else. The sound of the surf, smell of the salt air, the peace it brings to your soul, is simply incomparable, Nothing like the surf and sand in your toes and a fish on...
I wish you the silence and the sunsets. Sharyn

Big Bama and Namath fan. The interview was great and he looks GREAT. Agree that it's exciting he is "game" to meet someone interesting. Big fan in Atlanta.

Even though your interview with Mr. Nameth was great, the statement about him having the "Golden Arm" is reserved for a far better quarterback then him. That man would be Johnny Unitas from the Baltimore Colts.
Thank you,

I sent my email address to "60 Minutes" and asked that they pass it on to Joe. We have a lot in common: 1. We are both divorced and single with 2 children. 2. We are both from roughly the same "neck of the woods." 3. We are about the same age altho I'm a bit younger. 4. We both now live in Florida. 5. We both really like Joe Namath! Oh, I will buy his book. There has never been nor ever will be a sexier QB...he's still got it!

Glad to see you. I was 12 when I feel in love with football and you are the reason. Being a Razorback Fan now (College football more my thing) (and I was a 12 yr old girl).

There are mountains to climb and you have done that.

Keep it up.

You are an inspiration to all. I am a huge Jets fan and season ticket holder. When you are at the games the stadium electrifies. You are very much loved by many. You are in my thoughts in the day and in my dreams at night, wishing you all of the stength and love you deserve.

I have always been fan of Joe Nameth. and after his interview he said he was still game. HOw exciting, how do I reach him. can you forward this email to him??

[aray1949]

Joe, When you were playing football, I never was a football fan. I knew how you were, but that was about it. Well, except for your pantyhose commercial. Thank you for sharing your your comments tonight on 60 minutes. I admire you for your frank comments about your life and problems. Congratulations on your 1,000+ days of sobriety. It takes a brave and determined person do to accomplish that! Another Florida Resident Angela

I just want to say that I grew up in children's homes, foster care and other living arrangements that would make most people cringe. I had 17 sets of parents by the time I was 17 years old. Having said that, one of the four people I looked up to in total awe was Joe Namath. My four biggest sports idols were Namath, Ali, Jabbar and *** Allen. Joe Namath was one of the most inspiring people in my life and no matter what he did I worshiped him as a child. I'm 45 now and still feel goosebumps when I think of seeing him throw a down and out to Sauer or Maynard or something over the middle to Caster. I saw Joe play once at Shae Stadium, the Jets were crushed by the Cardinals something like 37 to 7 that day but I got a thrill seeing Joe walk right below me with a towel over his head, heading for the locker room. Anyway, one of my dreams is to meet the four men who most inspired me and if I ever do get a chance to meet Joe Namath I think I'd simply say "thank you." You made a very scared and troubled child feel very good, if only for a short period of time. Best wishes Joe. John (Lucem ferre) LeVan

I have prayed often for you over the years. No matter what has ever hit you, always got back up. You always will! Always, my best to the greatest.
Godspeed Joe ~
You go. Let your light shine !
I am so proud of you!

Get after it Joe!

I will have 2 years on next April, God willing.

It isn't easy, but is well worth the effort.

May God look down on you & give you grace.

CO Steven.

P.S. You were the best!
