Joe Namath plays defense... for his dog
http://www.wptv.com/mostpopular/story/joe-namath-yellow-lab-dangerous-dog-animal-care-an/n6vu10MLnUyzUr42TW_Bsw.cspx

With nearly the fervor and intensity he had in his days on the football field...Joe Namath vehemently defended his beloved yellow lab, Leo.

He blamed an episode in which the dog bit a home health care nurse, who mistakenly drove onto his Tequesta property, on the woman's refusal to listen.

"She continued to walk and I yelled stop," Namath said. "I said stay there, don't come any further. Then she turned around, took a step back and said 'he bit me.' "

In the past three years, Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control says Namath's yellow lab, Leo, has bitten three people on three separate occasions: A UPS employee, a yard worker, and a home health care nurse who had the wrong address.

Namath says his dog is not aggressive- but very protective of Namath because, he says, of the constant public trespassing on his property.
