Namath was a great guy. Met him several times when I worked at the Miami Airport. Face it, he was a single guy that loved to party. Nothing wrong with that.
He would travel from NYC to Mia then to Panama City to meet a girl friend. He would be at the airport for a couple hours. He would always come up and talk Football with us instead of going to the VIP lounge. We would laugh and joke around.
Once I was working a flight to NYC. There were only 3 seats left in first class. An older gentlemen was just in front of Joe and his friend. The older guy wanted a seat in a row that had two together.
Joe asked him very politely if he would allow him and his friend to sit together.
The old guy recognized Joe and said' "Well sonny you've been calling the shots for a while now, you might as well call this one too"
Got a great laugh out of that.
Joe was fun and always nice.
