Jake Gyllenhaal Will Play Joe Namath
Any reason to get that man in spandex is fine by me!
Jake Gyllenhaal will be portraying the former NY Jet quarterback, Joe Namath in a feature film. Joe Namath, also known as Broadway Joe, retired after playing for the LA Rams in the late 70’s with 77 wins and 108 losses tied to his name.
While he had a talent, he was more widely known for his “rock star status.†Joe acquired a sex symbol significance and began his venture into the commercial world. His “guarantee†for a Super Bowl win in 1969 also set the stage for controversy. The statement caused a media frenzy and tons of press for Joe. Luckily he delivered a win.
The film is the brainchild of Andrew Lazar and Jimmy Walsh. Namath gave the green light on the film after Jake Gyllenhaal accepted the role. The film just needs a script to be provided by David Hollander as soon as the WGA strike ends.
This is like Christmas has come early. Jake all sweaty and hot….throwing a football around…someone get me a wet nap.
