Joe Namath says giving up drinking saved his life

Jets legend Joe Namath opened up about his struggles with alcohol and said he doesn’t believe he would be alive today if he hadn’t quit drinking.

“I’d probably be dead now,” Namath said in his new autobiography, “All the Way: My Life in Four Quarters,” that was released on Tuesday.

Namath appeared on the “Michael Kay Show” on 98.7 ESPN Radio to promote the book and talked about his infamous interview in 2003 with ESPN’s Suzy Kolber when he told her he wanted to kiss her.
