It’s not everyday in the NFL that you hear one franchise icon singing the praises of another franchise icon – from a rival team. And yet, that’s exactly what happened on Monday when New York Jets Hall of Famer Joe Namath was a guest on Howard Stern’s radio talk show.
Stern asked Namath how 41-year-old (soon-to-be 42-year-old) Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has managed to maintain such a high level of play for so long. Brady is entering his 20th season in the NFL – all with New England – and has repeatedly expressed his desire to play at least until his mid-40s if his body cooperates.
