this is a world exclusive interview with a living legend, the one and only broadway joe, joe namath. joe, welcome. >> thank you, piers. good to be with you, buddy. >> i have never known my staff been more excited than when we booked you today, the exclusive on tim tebow. so thank you for making all their days and all their dreams come true. >> well, thank you. and my best to your staff. >> now, let's talk tim tebow, because i'm getting a sense you're not quite as thrilled about all this as a lot of people in new york are. tell me why. >> well, i was surprised, first of all. you know, the jets had recently given mark sanchez an extension on his contract and the jets also recently signed a backup quarterback. being a former quarterback, you know, you'd like to be able to put some trust in what you're being told. and i think this caught mark sanchez by surprise, it caught the team by surprise, a lot of us by surprise with the news that tebow is coming to town. now, i want to say something here, piers, tebow has wonderful fans because he's a wonderful guy and he can play. i got a report f

like joe namath saying, we will win.aid this about illinois. >> this is a primary and turnout is everything. you do your job, you do your job. this is the pledge. if we're able to come out of illinois with a huge surprise win, i guarantee you, i guarantee you, that we will win this nomination. we will nominate a conservative, if we nominate a conservative, we will beat barack obama in the fall election. thank you, illinois. god bless you, thank you. >> and then their own guarantees. >> dave: expect him to run off the field. because it's a bold guarantee from rick santorum, even if he wins illinois, a long way to go. there are 69 delegates up for grabs in illinois. and another 23 today in puerto rico. still, rick santorum, puts it into perspective now and here is the delegate counts. he needs two-thirds, essentially to get that 1144, an enormous task with winning illinois. >> people have asked how long do you think the race is going on, we're talking june. >> clayton: maybe further to the the convention in august and math

. >> it's interesting, but the jets haven't won a super bowl since joe namath. long time. so the question is, were they that good last year? no. was sanchez that good last year? no. if tebow can help you, and he did show an ability to move the football last year with the denver broncos. i'm still not convinced he is an nfl quarterback 100%, but ooii' like to see more. why not make yourself a better football team? they are a circus anyway with rex ryan. how much worse can it be? it's about on the field and moving the football producing points. you kind of give them credit for taking this risk. yeah, it could blow up, but it's the nfl. it can always blow up. go for it. >> richard, as giants points, ivan says the jets haven't won a super bowl since joe namath. the giants have not won a super bowl for a full month and a half now. >> slow offseason. no drama for the giants. they are just downright boring. >>> one other thing about the saints deal. they suspend head coach sean payton. does the nfl for a full season for the bounty program. are you surprised they came d

you're like joe namath guaranteeing it. >> you know.got another five years here. >> you're guaranteeing that too. >> somewhere along the line my bulls are going to come through here, absolutely. i knew about jeremy before you did or everybody else did, because, you know, arne duncan, my secretary of education was captain of the harvard team. >> are you taking credit for lin sanity? it feels like you are. >> i can't take credit for it, but i'm just saying i was there early. >> we are talking a little bit also about throwing out the first pitch at games. president obama talked about how difficult that is with a flak jacket on. here's his effort at the 2009 all-star game in st. louis reminding us just how difficult it is. maybe we don't have the video. how about former president george w. bush throwing out the president. here's the president, mom jeans on, floats one low. this is how it's done. and in the interview, president obama gave props to president george w. bush at the 2001 world series a couple weeks after 9/11. george w. bush thr
