Broadway Joe is returning to Beaver Falls tomorrow Sept. 9, 2011 for the field to be officially dedicated to him.

I enjoyed your documentary-he had a girlfriend that he came to see when I was little-I guess he had a girlfriend in every town-every state-he was very polite and unbelievably cool--------

[cherokeedoll1]

we will always love Joe Namath here in Tuscaloosa, he will always be a part of us:) and I do think it would be nice if a street in his home town could have his name

[huskyjerk]

I was in Beaver Falls about 6 years ago, looking for Namath memorabilia, and was directed to Namath's brother's shop. His brother was miffed as to why the town did nothing to commenorate Joe. I found nothing in town myself, At that time, the practice field sign was not there, so I got little to photograph. By the way, his brother is a great, great guy. Joe best buddy in high school was also there at the shop, and there was much story telling of days gone by with Joe. So i got a nice treat

Joe Namath had the biggest impact of any player in the history of pro football.

Joe made charisma cool for players and he and the Jets made the AFL and NFL equal.

Think of what he did.

And he guaranteed it.

His style and great play took football to the next level.

By the way, that collection of Namath stuff is very impressive.

Wow! This is a really impressive collection. I wonder if this guy wants to buy some of our autographed helmets? Probably not! LOL.

By reading some of the posts, especially by YungCott, I see BF High has turned out some well educated and respectful people! This was a great doc, i lived on Darlingon in 1970 when Joe was pretty famous. I just can't believe they can't get a street named after him. How hard can it be? That would bring revenue if a BB sign could be posted on the turnpike somewhere that reads "Come see where Joe Namath got his start".  How much would that cost the city??? Even if you don't like him, $ is $

[EAGLESfanDAN24]

I go to school here and play football

[YungCott]

i graduated from beaver falls and all of yall a weak as hell!! because the dumb ass who filmed this failed to go to Geneva College stadium where ALL football games are played! thats where they have a BF on both of the 19 yrd lines and next to all the players that played there from geneva has his name on a big billboard! so dont say we didnt do shit for him when you really dont know what went down!!

[woodske1]

Well, all of that was done AFTER the filming of the documentary....get your facts straight - Dan Woodske

[fgs2010]

Is anyone in Beaver Falls doing anything about this? They sure look like buttholes just sitting there and doing nothing.

[itchyscratcher]

no  '

[1920s]

Joe Willie Namath is always welcome in the great state of ALABAMA. Roll Tide!

[lukkyluciano]

Joes in Florida buddy, playing golf and signing boxes of footballs for $300/ball.

I say we name 7th ave. Frank Namath Ave., his brother, who has provided all sorts of insurance to people in the community for many many years.

RIP Chester Rose

[SunsetSupermanRMB]

Joe deserves more, but no ones going to that shit hole Beaver Falls any way.

[JunkyardKid]

I like how my high school looked like a mall.

[Tigerboy83]

I noticed the video opens with a ti-grrr! I didn't know Joe played for the Tigers in high school. Like wow, that's Tigerrific. If you have't guessed by now, I'm nuts about tigers.

i have that jersey

[66142]

It is a fake jersey. If you check the 1961, 1962 yearbooks or the photo behind the display you will find that on original jerseys the black shoulder stripes are as wide as in the display jersey; the shoulder stripes in the case do not have a white space between the colors, the shoulder stripes do not end below the top of the number, and most apparent, the numbers on the original jerseys were single color black. Not orange with a black border. No wonder it is hidden away from the public.

[66142]

I went back to check. You forget the era. Like Joe Paterno even today, at Alabama, the names of the players were not displayed on their jersey. (It was added to retro jerseys in order to sell jerseys) The number 12 was on the sleeves, but not a name until all star games. He did have his name hand lettered with a black marker on his kidney pads however. Maybe that's why the display is hidden. The jerseys appear to be later vintage. Who put that display together anyway?

[woodske1]

It looks authentic....check the picture behind the jersey.

[66142]

Just as a point of information. The "authentic" high school jersey displayed is not authentic. The striping is dead wrong on the shoulders. Who fed you this information?

[66142]

I remember when the Tigers won the "AA" Western PA.Interscholastic Athletic League beating Ellwood City. It was a big thing, but in no way ought 7th avenue be re designated for Joe Namath as he will fade rapidly as soon as someone, anyone does well. Check out Burt Kerstetter or earlier, Clair "Red" George. Burt played in the business world, Red played with countries. Neither appeared drunk on national television.

I tried to get in there about a year ago. I was denied...Thanks for posting.
