I Demand A Number Of Lockerroom Scenes

Have we got confirmation that Jake really will be slipping into Broadway Joe's jockstrap at last? That's what this place is saying:

"There comes a time in every icon's life where the rights to his name and likeness are licensed for the purposes of a major motion picture. For "Broadway" Joe Namath, that time is now.

Initially rumored nearly two years ago, a recent update to Jake Gyllenhaal's IMDb filmography is finally confirming him as the actor chosen to portray the New York Jets' legendary quarterback.

The film is expected to follow Namath's life as one of the game's first true stars while transcending the sport to become the most recognizable face of American football.

Adapting Broadway Joe's story to the big screen will be David Hollander, most recently known for his work on A&E's critically-acclaimed drama The Cleaner. Mad Chance and Andrew Lazar will handle the production end of the film."

That article then goes on to get its Namath-geek on, detailing some important stories from Namath's life that could make for a good movie, so check that out if you give a shit. Me... I'm just gonna sit here and think more about what I said about Jake slipping on a jockstrap...
