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.
Joseph William Namath (born May 31, 1943), nicknamed "Broadway Joe", is a former American football quarterback and actor.
He played college football for the University of Alabama under coach Paul "Bear" Bryant from 1962 to 1964, and professional football in the American Football League (AFL) and National Football League (NFL) during the 1960s and 1970s.
Namath was an American Football League icon and played for that league's New York Jets for most of his professional football career.
He finished his career with the NFL's Los Angeles Rams.
He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1985.
Namath retired after playing in 143 career games (including playoff games) with 68 wins, 71 losses and 4 ties.
In his 132 career starts he was 64–64–4, and he was 4–7 coming off the bench in relief.
In his career he threw 173 touchdowns and 220 interceptions, and completed 1,886 passes for 27,663 yards.
During his thirteen years in the AFL and NFL he played for three division champions (the 1968 and 1969 AFL East Champion Jets and the 1977 NFC West Champion Rams) and earned one league championship (1968 AFL Championship), and one Super Bowl victory (Super Bowl III).
In 1999, he was ranked number 96 on The Sporting News' list of the 100 Greatest Football Players.
He was the only player on the list to have spent a majority of his career with the Jets.
In his 1975 autobiography, Alabama head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant called Namath the most natural athlete he had ever coached.
Namath is known for boldly guaranteeing a Jets' victory over Don Shula's NFL Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III (1969) and then making good on his prediction with a 16-7 win for the Jets.
