Boasting stunning, never before seen photographs and an
NFL Network DVD, NAMATH is an autobiography befitting its
author: brash, brazen and winning.
A rebellious and
gutsy gunslinger out of Western Pennsylvania's Beaver
Valley, Joe Namath redefined the meaning of underdog. After
winning a NCAA National Championship for Paul "Bear"
Bryant's Alabama Crimson Tide, he embarked on a
professional football career unlike any before or since.
Known on and off the field for his
astronomical contract, fur coats, Fu Manchu mustache and
playboy lifestyle, "Broadway Joe" was one of the most
gifted and cagey quarterbacks ever. The only quarterback to
throw for over 4,000 yards in a 14-game season, he did it
all with battered knees and unsurpassed charisma. While his
Super Bowl III guarantee would make him a pop culture icon,
it was Namath's battle-tested grit and courage that took
him into the Hall of Fame.
