THE Namath Helmet... think he's mad?
Does anyone think Namath is pissed that his helmet from Super Bowl III is giong to be auctioned off? In case you haven't read, a friend's son asked him for his chinstrap during the season and fearing bad luck, Namath didn't want to give it up, so he promised the kid his whole helmet after the season. Now, the helmet is going up for auction. I know the guy has all the right in the world to auction it off, but if I was Namath I would be pissed unless he offered it back to me first.
Would you be pissed?Always on the lookout for Garin Cecchini game used items especially Greenville Drive and Salem Red Sox jerseys.
I accept PM's so shoot me a message.

If you expect it back at a later date, it's not a gift. Evidently this was given as a gift not a loan.

No way I'd ever give that up for auction. I agree with the hyperbole, it IS one of the most significant NFL items to come to auction and at least appears to have pretty solid provenance. Too bad it's personalized, kinda takes away from the item - unless you're the guy selling it that it was personalized to.

Agreed. If I hit the lottery and could get this piece, I'd break out the Oops! to clean it off then get Namath to sign it "Joe Namath, SB III Game Used"...

I don't think Namath is pissed if he wrote a letter to go with the helmet?

If this is all true I might think that Joe pulled a fast one on the kid.
