Isn’t Mary Lou Retton selling menopause products? Gheeze, she was 14 last I saw her.

He was depressing to watch in the twilight of his career when he was playing with the LA Rams. He could still throw but due to numerous injuries, he was all but immobile. He would stand still looking for an open receiver, unable to move as tacklers barreled toward him.

Not bad for 76, in my opinion. He was sober too.

I’m surprised Namath is still living at all. As a young man, he partied real hard, and for many, many years.

In one of his books John Madden described Joe Namath as the quarterback he feared most as an NFL coach.

He beat alcohol addiction and is a hero to many for that.

Namath does not have the legs now to do panty hose commercials.

Joe Namath says his life has been GREAT. He says his life has been charmed and he has been extraordinarily lucky. I am just glad he is around and appears healthy.

He can sell hemorrhoid creme if he wants.

Feh. If *I* was Joe, I’d be more concerned that Wikipedia references me as an “American Actor”. Other than that..he’s looking and doing great at 76. But, yes...time is a Mother****...so be grateful for when we’re above ground. :)

There must be 500 private health plans that are eligible under Medicare Part D.

Their marketing tactics are totally despicable, wrapping themselves in the flag, and implying _they_ are _the_ Medicare plan.

Joe Namath should be ashamed of himself.

There are still millions of the greatest generation put away in nursing homes and memory care. Medical advancements keep them alive. God has a little surprise waiting for all of us.

Same here. I'm glad he has a gig and can make a little coin.

Now Larry King is a whole another story …

Maybe Tom’s an exception.

But I remember Fred Thompson doing those ads as he was winding down, and I didn’t think it was a good look.

Reverse mortgages carry high fees and obligations (property upkeep and maintenance). They are a temporary way of using built up home equity to put off a needed downsizing of costs and home for most.
