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.
