PETA also tweeted an image of a pile of skinned animals with the message, “FYI @RealJoeNamath: Here’s the REST of your fur coat.”

Part of Joe's schtick has always been entertainment. If he had showed up in a suit and tie, no one would be talking about him today. I get it. Just thought the coat was dumb and out of place.how was it dumb or out of place? he was the opening act for the largest sporting event in the country.

Looked like a pimp to me.
Yea, they showed him, and his wife/girlfriend walking out onto the field before the coin toss. She also had a big fur coat on
I think he was out of place because, in your own words, the event was largest sporting event in the country and the athletes that had worked so hard for this day. Joe could have respected that and presented himself with the dignity of the moment but he chose to make the moment about himself. A bit cheezy I thought.

I always thought he was a stud. Looking at the photograph, I would have to say he still is.I wasn't even alive then. I watched his HBO documentary and immediately became intrigued and read up a little. I only say he was like the Kaep of his time because of their similarities off the field and how different they were from the stereo typical QB of their generation. Namath was a playboy off the field. He had pro athlete celebrity status before pro athletes were even thought of as celebreties. He wore crazy outfits, made memorable commercials, did playboy-esque photo shoots, womanized, enjoyed the night life, associated with questionable individuals, etc...he was even notorious for showing up to practice (and sometimes games) drunk or hung over. He did not always address the media respectfully or professionally. He was at the center of controversy on several occasions. He was also an outstanding athlete for his time.If you don't like Kaep now, you most likely wouldn't have liked him for all the same reasons.

Joe Namath showed up dressed like Joe Namath. The half time act showed up in funny clothes. It is all entertainment for the masses. Respecting the athletes? The athletes work hard but they are paid well to entertain us while doing what they chose to do.I think some of those commercials should have been more respectful of the dignity of the event. Really.
Under that fur coat He wore a bracelet, a memorial bracelet for Chris Kyle, US sniper. Murdered on Feb. 2 2013
