Women Throw Themselves — And Their Phone Numbers — At Joe Namath, And CBSNews.com Is Forced To Sack Them

Last night, CBS News aired a piece on Joe “I Want To Kiss You” Namath, in which he was asked if he plans to remarry:

“Oh, I’ve thought about companionship, getting married,” says Namath. “And you know what? It’s a difficult thing to find someone that you want to share the rest of your life with, or even a lot of time with.”

Replies Simon: “And when this airs, Joe, those calls will start coming in.”

“I hope so,” Namath responds. “I’m game.”

It appears Namath will no longer have to troll for sideline reporters at Jets games looking for candidates: They’ve been posting their phone numbers to CBS’ Web site, forcing CBSNews.com director of news and operations Mike Sims to order his staff to remove any comments that that include an e-mail address and/or phone number.

Tough luck, Joe.
