just heard an amazing stat. we all know that he was overhyped----very substandard creditials for getting in HOF. he gets tons of cred for predicting the defeat of the Colts in SBIII. but get this. the SBIII was his 4th year. after that game, he never beat a team with a winning record.
He's damn sure a legend though.................on youtube [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQqIQyT-RuM[/media]
dont have one (assuming youre referring to the not beating a team with a winning record part). heard it on sportstalk radio. must be true.
well, no playoff wins. that supports the stat. Joe Namath NFL & AFL Football Statistics | Pro-Football-Reference.com
11-24-1974, Namath and the Jets beat the Dolphins 17-14. The Dolphins finished the season 11-3. Case closed.
so here's all ill do. checked the records of all teams the jets beat in namaths only winning season after sb III (69). none of the teams they beat (10 wins, 5 teams) had a winning record. 1969 New York Jets Statistics & Players | Pro-Football-Reference.com
