[edit] The Namath incident

Kolber received national attention in December 2003 when, covering a New York Jets game, former Jets quarterback Joe Namath twice stated, in a nationally televised sideline interview with Kolber, that he wanted to kiss her. Namath later apologized and blamed the incident on his obvious intoxication. Soon after, Namath entered an outpatient alcoholism treatment program[1]. Namath chronicled the episode, including his battle with alcoholism in his book, Namath (ISBN # 1-59071-066-5).

Kolber's football broadcast narrative is featured on Sega's video game, ESPN NFL Football for Microsoft's Xbox and Sony's PlayStation 2. Kolber also is a national television spokesperson for Chevrolet and Pepsi-Cola commercials.

On May 4, 2006, Kolber, along with Sal Masakela, hosted ESPN's telecast of The Impossible Jump live from Las Vegas, in which Mike Metzger was attempting to do a back flip over the Fountains at Caesars Palace, which was ultimately a success.
