This is hilarious. I saw the clip from Saturday night; it looks like Joe had had a few beers. All of his answers were slow and disjointed. The entire interview, he was swaying and leering at the female sideline reporter, repeating twice "I wanna kiss you." Good ol' Broadway.
Have you been able to find online video of this. I heard them talking about it on ESPN radio this morning and it sounds pretty hilarious.
I looked a little but was unsuccessful. I saw it on the nightly news broadcast and would love to see video of it again. I'm sure freakhole.com will post it at some point. (If you haven't been to that site, it's mostly nasty porn, but they tend to find good video on occasion.)
From the NYTimes: Namath is to apologize for his behavior.

(don't know if that link will work or not...)
I couldn't find a video clip either. If anyone does, please let us know. I'd love to see it.
I found an MP3 of the interview here:

Unfortunately that mp.3 doesnt have the "I wanna kiss you" parts or the hasty abortion at the end. Ah well, you can still see how loaded he is.
Sure it does. I heard all of it in there.
For some reason when I played it it was short. Sorry again.
Damn you! No more contradicting me!
