Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
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 under 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.

An entertaining book, very much a quick read, boasting fantastic photos of a true NFL legend.
I found the very first half of the book to be the best as after that it seemed to descend into a discusion of Namath's business pursuits (restaurant chain, movies, advertising).
In a perfect world, I would have liked less publicity photos and more pictures of his football playing and more indepth on his playing.
This is not a biography of the man, but more of a coffeetable look at him, which is not to say that it is bad.
An enjoyable book.

Just like the author, this book is a winner! This makes a great gift for the book lovers and sports fans in your life. Readable and written as if a friend is telling you the stories, warm and casual without any airs. Joe Namath's appeal is timeless, his talent is revered by athletes and non-athletes, and his honesty is heartwarming. He is a good storyteller and his experiences are worth telling. Truly, an enjoyable read for anyone. This is a story of courage, pain, perseverance and commitment-to the game, to his family, and to himself. Reading about his injuries gives insight into the physical punishment and the steel discipline needed to play the game of football AND the game of life. The pictures are wonderful, too. Even the front and back inside covers of the book have pictures. It's like getting a photo album, a great story, and a bonus DVD, all in one book. Touchdown!!

I GAVE IT TO HIM FOR CHRISTMAS AND HE FINISHED WELL BEFORE NEW YEARS.
Rated by buyers -
I was very pleased with this purchase. I have purchased things on Amazon previously, and can tell you that I have always admired the efficient handling of each transaction. This particular purchase was handled equally well.
The Namath book has a little more significance to me, as it was a last minute purchase before Christmas and I was surprised and pleased that I was able to get as quickly as I did and at a reasonable price.
