WHEN I WAS A KID IN MIAMI ... JOE NAMATH OPENED A ROAST BEEF & BURGER JOINT IN 1969 ON 79TH. ST. TO COMPETE WITH ARBYS & BURGER KING. IT WAS CALLED "BROADWAY JOES" ... THE HELP ALL WORE NUMBER 12 JERSEYS AND IT WAS THEMED AFTER JOE AND HIS SUCCESS WINNING SUPER BOWL III IN MIAMI. I RECALL THE NFL HAD PROBLEMS WITH HIS BUSINESS AND IT SOONED CLOSED DOWN ... TOO BAD IT WAS GREAT AND HE WAS SELLING FRANCHISES! ... ENJOY THE SUPER BOWL ... I AM SURE BROADWAY JOE WILL BE THERE.
