"I wouldn't be a healthy Joe Namath today. "I really believe I wouldn't be here today," Namath said during the radio interview. That ended up being the turning point in Namath's life. He said he hasn't had a drink since then.
He said he called Kolber the next morning and apologized and then sought help. Namath said he was drunk and didn't know what he had done until someone told him. 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.

New York Jets football 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.
