In between Babe Ruth and Michael Jordan there was Joe Namath, one of the few sports heroes to transcend the game he played. Novelist and former sports-columnist Mark Kriegel’s bestselling biography of the iconic quarterback details his journey from steel-town pool halls to the upper reaches of American celebrity—and beyond. The first of his kind, Namath enabled a nation to see sports as show biz. For an entire generation he became a spectacle of booze and broads, a guy who made bachelorhood seem an almost sacred calling, but it was his audacious “guarantee” of victory in Super Bowl III that ensured his legend. This unforgettable portrait brings readers from the gridiron to the go-go nightclubs as Kriegel uncovers the truth behind Broadway Joe and why his legend has meant so much to so many.©2004 Mark Kriegel; (P)2004 Penguin Audio and Books on Tape, Inc.

Excellent descriptions of Joe Namath's key football games. One gets a good feel of the personality that changed the marketing of the game. However, I feel there's another aspect of Joe that wasn't expanded upon - his spirituality. He meditated and had a keen interest in the science of astrology.

The author gives detailed bio sketches of some key people in Joe's life but I found them far too long. Shorter versions would have been better.

A disagreeable aspect was the author's objectifying of women tone in describing Joe's womanizing dalliances.

Throughout the bio you keeping hoping for Joe to overcome his obstacles but it's not fully to be. In this way it's not a feel good football story. Years ago I read George Plimpton's Paper Lion. That was a feel good football story which had humour and good insight into the lockeroom bantering. This is missing in this book and I'm sure tomfoolery was present in the Jets' lockroom. It would have made it better.

All in all, recommended for the football fan. Much work went into the researching and interviewing for the book. Probably nothing else comparable out there on Joe Namath.
