Today, it’s pretty commonplace to read about athletes pulling in ridiculous amounts of moola. But big salaries weren’t always the norm…until Namath came along. As a rookie, he nabbed a $427,000 contract with the Jets. Though conservative by today’s standards, at the time, it was the largest contract in the history of professional football. And Nama...
The New York Jets, the 1968 AFL (as the American Football Conference was known back in the day) champions were heavy underdogs against the NFL (today’s NFC) champion Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. In those days, it was believed that the NFL/NFC, which had been around longer, had superior teams. (Indeed, they had won the first two Super Bowls by...
Shortly after winning the Super Bowl, Namath opened up a night club on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, called Bachelors III. It became the spot for celebrities, hot models, and, uh, various members of organized crime. This didn’t sit too well with then-NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle.

Namath countered that he wasn’t being rebellious — he just liked the look and people were being way too uptight. He was forced to lose the fa...
On the sidelines of a 1971 Jets game, an injured Namath caught the action, dressed in a white, fur-trimmed, full-length coat, which he paired with groovy bellbottoms and a pair of shades. Four decades later, in 2014, Namath showed up for the coin toss at Super Bowl XLVIII wearing another fur — coyote with Norwegian fox trim — creating up a Twitter ...
Namath was the first pro football player to wear white cleats. Actually, he wore black cleats wrapped with white tape since his days at the University of Alabama and continued the custom after he turned pro. Equipment manager Bill Hampton ordered white cleats to avoid the task of taping the cleats. Namath showed up for a game and found a box of new...
Brut cologne, Ovaltine, Hamilton Beach Popcorn Makers, Double Mac Grills (two burgers in sixty seconds!), Vintage Olivetti Typewriters, Dingo boots, and Noxzema shaving cream (complete with a TV commercial co-starring a pre-Charlie’s Angels’ Farrah Fawcett). You name it, Namath could sell it. His most talked-about commercial, by far: Broadway Joe, ...
