Hall of Fame quarterback’ Joe Namath should have learned how to control his dogs, who have caused him to be sued by a former UPS driver for being attacked by the bogs while making a delivery at the former NFL quarterback’s Florida home.
Attorneys for David Gunter say he hasn’t been able to work since the 2007 incident in Tequesta, about 90 miles north of Miami. Lawyer Steven Slootsky says Gunter required four surgeries after suffering injuries to his neck, back and knee. And he is not the only one to have problems with Namath’s dogs. Because of complaints, one of the dogs was ordered last month to be muzzled and leashed full-time.
Namath played in the AFL and NFL during the 1960s and 1970s and was an American Football League icon. For most of his professional career he was playing for the New York Jets but he put on the Los Angeles Rams jersey in the last year of his career. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1985.

Little and LeBeau compete for Pro Football Hall of Fame
Floyd Little is former Broncos running back, and Dick LeBeau is currently Steelers defensive coordinator. Both of them become finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, joining 15 modern-era candidates on the complete list of finalists for the 2010 class.
At age 67, Little was chosen for five Pro Bowls and his career records include rushing for 6,323 yards, 43 touchdowns, 215 receptions for 2,418 yards and nine TDs. He retired in 1975 and ranked seventh in career rushing.
LeBeau was a star defensive in the Detroit Lions before he became a coach. During the 14 years he played football as a player, he managed to intercept totally 62 passes, ranking seventh all-time. And during the 37 years of coach career, which has not been near an end, LeBeau has won two Super Bowls as the Steelers defensive coordinator in the last four seasons. He is considered as a player candidate because he is still working in the NFL and the Hall of Fame requires a candidate to be retired five years before he can be voted in.
