Broadway Joe

Stephen Barbara of WSJ Daily Fix fame has a great column in the Weekly Standard about the new Joe Namath biography.
Namath: A Biography, by Mark Kriegel is the book and Barbera gives it generally good comments. Base10 who has always admired Joe Namath and has indeed met him once was not going to read this biography. Some other reviews have said that the work overly stressed Namath's alchohol abuse. After reading Barbera's piece, I think I'll give the book a try. Namath wasn't only a great football player, he is one of those athletes that fundamentally changes the sport he plays.
