Namath: A Biography

In between Babe Ruth and Michael Jordan there was Joe Namath, one of theÂ few sports heroes to transcend the game he played. Novelist and former sports-columnist Mark Kriegelâ€™s bestselling biography of the iconic quarterback details his journey from steel-town pool halls to the upper reaches of American celebrityâ€”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 â€œguaranteeâ€ 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.
