The famed former Jets player stole the show at the Super Bowl when he rocked a fur coat — what did you think of his major fashion statement? Vote.
For those unfamiliar with Joe Namath, he’s always had a very flashy sense of style, (which helped him live up to his bold nickname, Broadway Joe) — and at 70 years old the former quarterback and Super Bowl winner proved that he’s certainly still got it as he rocked a fur coat to the 2014 Super Bowl on Feb. 2 at the MetLife Stadium in NJ. Seeing the former Super Bowl III Mvp’s style swagger is nothing new — in fact, Joe had an affinity for rocking fur coats, so the fact that he rocked his signature look was no surprise to his fans!

Joe Namath, dubbed Broadway Joe during his playing days with the New York Jets, rocked a long fur coat for the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Joe Namath's Fur Coat
Namath, 70, was on the field at MetLife Stadium to perform the coin toss with the captains for the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks. Unfortunately for the former Jet, his coin tossing wasn’t as smooth as his look. He tossed the coin prior to the Seahawks’ captains making a heads or tails call.
Referee Terry McAulay caught the coin before it dropped so that Namath could give it another go. In the end, the Seahawks won the toss and opted to defer the opening possession to the Broncos. The Broncos first drive earned the Seahawks a safety.
After his brief appearance, Namath’s coat got its own Twitter account, which is currently nearing 1,000 followers. Not all of the attention...

George Sauer, a former wide receiver for the New York Jets who played in important part in his team's win in Super Bowl III, passed away on Tuesday (May 7) at the age of 69.
Sauer's sister, Dana Keifer, confirmed his passing to the New York Times, telling the publication that the cause of death was congestive heart failure. She says that the athlete, who quit football at the end of the 1970 season at 27, had been struggling with Alzheimer's disease prior to his death.
After quitting the NFL at the peak of his career, Sauer would go on to speak ill of professional football, calling it "a grotesque business" meant to "mold you into someone easy to manipulate" in an interview with the Times in 1981.
Sauer married and divorced several times. His sister is his only immediate survivor.

Word on the street is that James Mangold is in talks to direct a biopic about the legendary New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath. While there appears to be no script as of yet, the film would no doubt cover all the crucial milestones of Namath's life, from leading his team's heroic upset of the Colts in Super Bowl III to shilling for Hanes BeautyMist pantyhose to his stunning, drunken on-air flirtation with Espn sideline reporter Suzy Kolber in 2003. The high-profile project will make for one of the most coveted roles in Hollywood, for which every agent in Hollywood will have only one question for the filmmakers: "Who's playing Kolber?"...
