Hall of Fame Quarterback Joe Namath was on the Michael Kay radio program knocking the preparation methods of Coach Rex Ryan and his staff. Seems like Namath wants Rex to prepare like he did for the interview he did with Suzy Kolber a few years back. Here were his statements:
"It's rather alarming," Namath said, "It starts at the top. Coach Rex Ryan, he's been doing a great job, getting us to two conference championship games, but there's one thing about the athlete: You keep telling him how good he is, he's going to start believing it to the point that he may not be preparing quite the way he should. He may be losing some respect for the other team." Saying further, "I think these guys might be believing that they're better than they are," Namath said. "Rex has been the only coach that we know, in maybe the history of the game that I'm familiar with, that keeps continually telling his guys how good they are."
Rex shot back later in the same show with, "I'm not going to change who I am because Joe Namath said something. Namath can come in here, and if he can still throw, we'll have him as a backup quarterback. But you know what? He doesn't know our team. He's on the outside. Even though he's a Jet, and once you're a Jet, you're always a Jet, but he's on the outside."
Honestly, I feel this all may be a ploy to get Namath back to a Jets game so he can finally make out with Suzy! I'd love to see that!
