HBO to feature Namath Jan. 28

This should be interesting: HBO will turn its documentary lens on former Jets quarterback and current Jets critic Joe Namath for a film that premieres Jan. 28, the Saturday between the NFL conference finals and Super Bowl 46.

Unearthing new things to say about the well-chronicled life and times of Broadway Joe figures to be a challenge, but HBO hopes to bring new insights to the story, primarily its early stages in Beaver Falls, Pa.

Among the expected highlights will be rarely seen football of Namath in action at Alabama.
