Did he want to kiss any of the reporters?
Mommy's only 16???
You sound mean-spirited to me... ;)
Could it be the FATHER of the baby?
Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath visits with his new granddaughter, Natalia, and her mom, Olivia, and Natlia's Aunt Jessica (right). Natalia was born May 21 at Good Samaritan Medical Center. Grandpa Joe says he's 'very happy.'
Gee, I dunno. Something about a star in the east, maybe? </ sarcasm>
What is this an old hens coffee clatch? At least the girl had the bady and did abort it. For that I’m grateful.
Hey, maybe 16-year-old Oliva just married a real progressive guy. < /s>
He has kids towards the end of his life, she has them at the beginning of her life.

Former star Jet quarterback Joe Namath’s grandkid blitz
Thursday, August 16th 2007, 4:00 AM
Joe Namath has become a grandfather, perhaps a bit sooner than he’d planned.
The football great’s daughter Olivia has had a baby girl at 16.
“She was pregnant at 15,” says a source. “He claims to be thrilled.”
Indeed, the former New York Jets quarterback - who’s currently living in Tequesta, Fla. - told top Palm Beach Post columnist Jose Lambiet: “I’m very happy.”
Still, Namath’s ex-wife, Tatiana, will raise the infant, who is now 2 months old, says the source.
“Tatiana came and picked up the baby and brought her back to California, where she lives,” the source added. “Olivia’s going to stay with Joe and her sister Jessica in Tequesta, where she’s still going to high school.”
Edwin Baker, age 19, is the name of the father listed on the birth certificate. An Edwin Baker, 19, of nearby Jupiter, Fla., has been arrested three times in the past year on charges of possession of crystal methamphetamine, grand theft and burglary.

Perhaps Joe didn’t set a sterling example for his kids with his early life, but thank God the child was born instead of aborted.
I wonder how many abortions were performed as a result of Joe’s earlier lifestyle? It’s pure speculation, but perhaps Joe convinced his beautiful young daughter not to abort his beautiful grandchild out of sense of previous loss.
Either way, a child is born and that is cause to rejoice. Let’s wish them well.
Nope, I caught this:
Olivia Namath, 16, quietly gave birth to Natalia Namath on May 21 at Good Samaritan Hospital in WPB. Both mom and baby are doing fine.
I’m guessing I didn’t see anything about the FATHER of the baby, but with the mother being 16 (YIKES), I’m sure it’s not ‘one of those things that happens’.
Namath is supporting his daughter and her child - good for him. If his daughter made a mistake at least she has a loving father with means to help her thru what might otherwise be a tough situation.
What’s missing here is the parents of the thousands of girls who must have abortions because they have neither a father or mother willing to help them thru a pregnancy at a young age and instead decide to use abortion as birth control.

Apparently the stigma of out-of-wedlock birth seems to be disappearing.
Look at the celebrity mags. Angelina, Jodie Foster, now Nicole Ritchie — having children without marriage.
Years ago Ingrid Bergman was censured for such a pregnancy. Now we’ve become inured.
Though I’m glad Namath’s daughter didn’t have an abortion, I wonder if she has become a chip off the old block. Copying her father’s behavior, perhaps?
Sure, I noticed there was something missing. They never mentioned his pantyhose.
