Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Davey Mac here with a big Sports Report for ya! But before we get into the scores and news and whatnot...we gotta say...
...Happy Birthday to the one and only Joe Namath! "Broadway" Joe was born on May 31st, 1943...so the Jet icon is now an octogenarian!
Namath, of course, led the Jets to victory in Super Bowl III after guaranteeing that his team would be the Colts. And when he did...Joe's legendary status was cemented forever.
Happy B-Day, Joe! You're one of the greatest!
