Episode 4: "Revolution" looks at how, amidst a backdrop of upheaval in American society, the AFL generates its own upheaval in the sports world: after its champions are soundly defeated in the first two Super Bowls, the league gains respectability on the shoulders of Joe Namath, who, after his Jets defeat Oakland for the 1968 league title, fulfills a brash guarantee to defeat NFL champ Baltimore in Super Bowl III, regarded as one of the greatest upsets in sports history

  • @sptrfn I think Joe was a lot overrated as a QB to be honest, but I would've loved to have had that life in the 60's and 70's

  • Eldridge Dickey didn't seem to get a fair chance at QB with the Raiders. They switched him to WR, and his enthusiasm went down. He only played until 1971.

  • @GialloHorror: Yeah, that is possible. When I watched the 1968 Jets America's Game episode, though, it seemed to me that his teammates were mad because he focused too much on himself, and he would throw too many costly INT's.

    Gerry Philbin was the one who seemed to be the most upset with Joe.

    Honestly, I think that Joe was a little overrated as a QB, but he seems like a real good guy. He should have retired after the 75 season, though. The Rams shouldn't have traded for him.

  • People that didn't like it, were jealous of "Broadway". Every guy back then probably wanted to be him.

    What young, single guy wouldn't want to be rich, famous, and have any woman he wanted. HA! Please, Broadway Joe ruled!

  • Fuck i want one of those shirts at 21.53.
