Joe Namath: Playing through concussions

[@jeremyhasselbacher7228]

He has got to be one of the most positive people I've ever seen. I imagine that's what makes you winner and a champion

[@charlesdarks8850]

Joe looks great for real.

[@gardensofthegods]

This guy really knows how to do interviews... I don't think I've ever heard him interrupt anyone... he asks really good questions... and he really listens to what they're saying... and you can usually tell that by his response to what they just said ... he seems to do is homework and comes prepared. Why in the world CAN'T most other people do interviews like this gentleman ? Some of them are horrendous , with interrupting and cutting them off at the best parts.

[@timmyotoole7312]

Yes Graham Bensinger is such an awesome interviewer. He does his homework and knows his role. Lets his guests just talk.

[@brucekielty8180]

I agree totally. It is refreshing to see a skilled interviewer/listener.

[@clinicaleducator1237]

Joe Willie white shoes is a mans man. ALL those hits were part of the game. It's almost like a badge of honor. You KNOW the opposing team is wanting to knock you out because if they don't, they KNOW they are going to lose because of you. YOU gonna beat them in spite of the hits. Tough bastard. Made them that way in Pennsylvania in those steel towns. PITTSBURG and Beaver Falls. Thanks Joe for years of great football!!

[@docsmithdc]

Yes.Say what you will but nobody NOBODY ever had more guts than Joe Namath.

[@genocidereaper1]

@@docsmithdc Joe Namath is the only QB I have ever seen, go to the sideline get a whad of redman chewing tobacco then trot back onto the field to the huddle and play the game. I had to rewind the clip, I mean shit man, you're already taking massive shots, so you're gonna get a big chew to swallow on the next one? Man is tough as rawhide.

Namath the man. Hey. What he endured no QB today has. Back then the NFL just cold. Allowing bounties. Head hunting. You name it. Amazing he survived. If he played with today's pro QB rules we'd be talking multiple rings. Respect.

Graham, talk about an amazing interview. All your interviews are amazing. I have to say this is an incredible channel. How far in advanced are these interviews typically planned out in advanced, in terms of when you first reach out to them or their agent/PR, etc., person?

[@bobanderson6656]

I hated him when he was playing. I was a Colts fan after all. He's one of the best interviews BY FAR of the retired players. Especially after he dealt with recovery from alcoholism.

[@chillytoes337]

Dang Joe, you knew better than to let your guard down when you were playing against the Silver and Black back in those days. They weren't playin', LOL! Those were the days when the NFL played "REAL FOOTBALL"....not like today. Love the way you tell these stories, so funny! Glad you made it "out" w/o too many bad injuries, we both know it could have been a lot worse. I was an avid fan back in those days, gooooooo Raiders, but now that they've changed the rules/regs so much due to safety precautions it just ain't the same (but I don't wanna see anybody get badly hurt like they used to either).

[@theboard3476]

Lol it’s insane how far we’ve come. Back then you could literally get concussed in the first half, smoke a dart or two during half time in the locker room and continue to play another 2Q of football. Ah America 🇺🇸

[@adams6438]

The game didnt get softer, the money got better and the player is an enterprise that must take care of themselves. If Joe was making money like the top quarterbacks or even some backup quarterbacks such as chase daniels or mccown, he wouldnt play thru those injuries. And it is the players right to choose not to and their right to get paid what they get paid.
