Item description from seller

As new condition white boards/green spine/white spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Acknowledgments. Illustrated with black-and-white and color photographs. "If you're not going all the way, why go at all?" - Joe Namath " "I guarantee it." I didn't know those three words would be taken so seriously. I was just trying to shut up a heckler, but the papers dismissed my victory prediction ahead of 1968's Super Bowl III as brash egotism. Sure, I was irritated that the New York Jets were eighteen-point underdogs, but I had studies the films and I knew what we were up against. Besides, my promise was based on confidence steeled by wins and losses in life: a hustling childhood in the Lower End of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania; playing football at the University of Alabama under legendary coach Bear Bryant; receiving a record-breaking rookie contract; and having knees so torn up that I couldn't get groceries out of my trunk without cringing in pain. In what people now call one of the biggest upsets in professional sports, my brothers simply took what the Baltimore Colts gave us. We controlled the game and steadily confuses and demoralized one of the best football teams in history. And what came after that victory was glorious, sure. Besides a championship ring, there were pantyhose commercials, glitzy parties, and women I couldn't turn down. Some say I inadvertently ushered in the modern superstar era. But I don't know about any of that. The sensationalism around the nickname "Broadway Joe" made for easier headlines than the torn hamstrings, broker bones, multiple knee surgeries, and weekly shots of mysterious drugs to ease chronic pain. By my last year of pro ball, boy, sprinting the distance of the field without falling over was a crap-shoot. And then came a very public fall from grace. But there's one philosophy that has kept me alive: it's not how you fall down, it's how you stand back up. And, man, have I had a lot of practice being knocked down. So here I am, getting up again, pulling back that proverbial curtain to expose the great and terrible moments in my life, the ones that made me who I am today. Maybe you'll learn something from my journey, or perhaps you'll just find my life story entertaining. But I do know one thing: you'll never think about Joe Namath the same way again. I guarantee it." - Joe Namath, from the front an rear jacket flaps.

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
