Joe Namath doesn’t remember that interview with Suzy Kolber.
He remembers drinking all day, and that he was at a game at Giants Stadium, the Jets playing the Patriots, on a frigid night in December 2003. He doesn’t remember fumbling his words, though, or telling the ESPN sideline reporter he wanted to kiss her. Though the clip lives in infamy, he didn’t even know he did any of that until the next day, when he got a phone call and was told what had happened.
“I was stunned,” he said Tuesday at the East 92nd Street Y in Manhattan while promoting his new book, “All the Way: My Life in Four Quarters,” with moderator Mike Greenberg of ESPN.
