"Joe 'Nostradamus' Namath Predicts Another"

April 2, 1977—Future Hall of Famer and Super Bowl III MVP Joe Namath was released by the New York Jets just days earlier (March 31). He announced that he still wanted to play football and that Los Angeles might be his next stop.

Joe not only predicted a Jets win in the 1969 big game over the favored Colts but also called it right on his final NFL uniform, which he would wear as old number 12 when he suited up for the LA Rams in 1977 in his swan song. He started four games in 1977 for the Rams splitting time with Pat Haden and Vince Ferragamo.

The former Alabama QB spent the first dozen years of his career with New York in both the AFL and after the merger.
