Early Years
In Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, on May 31, 1943, Joseph William Namath was born. Joe is a working-class boy who was raised in a Catholic home with five other siblings. Namath moved in with his mother after his parents got divorced. As a member of the football, basketball, and baseball teams in high school, Joe's prowess as a "natural athlete" quickly became apparent.
Several baseball teams made an effort to sign him to a Major League Baseball contract when he graduated from high school in 1961. Namath's mother wanted him to attend college, but he opted for football instead. Later on, he enrolled at the University of Alabama and joined the Crimson Tide. Namath led the Crimson Tide as its quarterback from 1962 through 1964. He guided the group to a national title in 1964.
NFL Career Because of cartilage damage to his knee, Namath was unable to participate in the draught during the Vietnam War and was instead signed by the New York Jets (who were then AFL players). He earned the moniker "Broadway Joe" in 1965 after appearing on the cover of "Sports Illustrated." Namath won the AFL Rookie of the Year award during his rookie year. He still had problems with knee injuries, though.
Joe Namath played the game of his life in Super Bowl III, defeating the Baltimore Colts after personally promising the victory days earlier, just before the NFL and AFL were combined into one. He completed eight passes for 133 yards to one man (George Sauer) alone during the Super Bowl game, earning him MVP honors.
Namath suffered from ailments throughout the next time frame and started missing games for the first time in his career. Joe, however, persisted in stunning spectators, tossing for 496 yards in a victory over the Colts. This is regarded by many analysts as the best passing play in a single game. He switched to the Los Angeles Rams near the end of his career. He didn't have a successful final season due to numerous injuries, thus he retired at the end of the 1977 campaign.
Highlights of Salary
Both the NFL's St. Louis Cardinals and the AFL's New York Jets selected Joe in the first round of the draught. He was selected No. 1 by the Jets and No. 12 by the Cardinals. Joe gave both draught's offers serious thought. He requested a brand-new Lincoln Continental and a $200,000 salary from the Cardinals. The Cardinals were shocked by his demands, but eventually gave in under the condition that he make a written commitment to them before to the Orange Bowl. Joe was hesitant to sign a professional contract because doing so would have prevented him from competing in the Bowl game. He ultimately participated in the Orange Bowl and the following day signed with the Jets. With the Jets, he signed a rookie deal worth $427,000 over three years, or $142,000 annually. That is equivalent to agreeing to a deal worth $3.5 million now, or $1.16 million annually.
He entered into another contract that broke records in 1975. This was a $900,000 two-year contract with the Jets. That amounts to $2.15 million annually or $4.3 million in today's dollars.
Career in Acting
Namath started acting in 1969 when he was the host of "The Joe Namath Show," but he quickly moved on to more serious acting jobs. He started acting on stage, and then he went on to play parts in movies like "C.C. and Company." He also featured on the TV show "The Waverly Wonders" before getting parts on shows like "The Love Boat," "Married... with Children," "Here's Lucy," "The Brady Bunch," "The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour," "The Flip Wilson Show," "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In," and many others. Joe also became a well-known voice actor who has had parts in cartoon shows like "The Simpsons."
Relationships
Joe lived alone for a long time. But in 1983, Namath met Deborah Mays, who wanted to be an actor, in a voice acting class. Even though he was 19 years older than her, they got married in 1984 and had two kids together. After they got married, Joe became a devoted family man, but they split up in 2000.
Alcoholism
Joe had a hard time with drinking for most of his life. Things got really bad in the years right after he got married to Mays because he kept drinking a lot. Mays then told Joe that drinking too much could end the marriage, and Joe was able to stop drinking. But Joe fell back into old habits after his split in 2000.
Namath drank a lot before he went on the air with EPSN in 2003. The Jets' All-Time team was meant to be honored that day, but all the news stories were about Joe's drinking. He was able to answer Suzy Kolber's one question right, but then he told her he wanted to kiss her. Later, Joe admitted that he had made a fool of himself, and he chose to get help for his drinking.
Three Bachelors
Joe Namath opened Bachelors III, a bar, on the Upper East Side of New York City in 1969. The club became very popular and many famous people went there. But the club also became a popular place for people in organized crime to hang out. Namath got into trouble when he refused to sell his stock in the business, even though NGL Commissioner Pete Rozelle told him to. He later said he was going to quit because of what happened, but then he changed his mind, sold his share, and went back to work.
Brand Endorsements
Joe Namath was well-known for the many ads he did for brands like Ovaltine, Noxzema, and Hanes over the course of his career.
Joe was the highest-paid famous endorser at the time, making $1 million a year from different brand deals. This was in 1975. At the time, he was also making $450,000 per year in salary. With inflation, this meant that his income and endorsements added up to the same amount as $7 million per year.
Real Estate
In 2016, Joe Namath paid about $1 million for a house on the Upper West Side of New York City. Since his daughter and her husband were also named as buyers, it seems that the purchase was a gift for them. The duplex on the first floor is a nice place for a family to live. It has two bedrooms and a lot of storage space. Namath was said to be selling this house in 2019 for $1.195 million, according to news reports.
Highlights of Pay
Joe was taken in the draft by both the NFL's St. Louis Cardinals and the AFL's New York Jets. The Cardinals picked him 12th, and the Jets picked him first. Joe thought carefully about both draft options. He told the Cardinals that he wanted a $200,000 pay and a brand-new Lincoln Continental. The Cardinals were surprised by his demands, but in the end, they gave in as long as he promised to play for them in writing before the Orange Bowl. Joe didn't want to sign a professional deal because that would have meant he couldn't play in the Bowl game. He played in the Orange Bowl, and the next day he signed with the Jets. His first deal with the Jets was for $427,000 over three years or $142,000 per year. That's the same as getting a $3.5 million contract today or about $1.16 million per year.
In 1975, he signed another deal that set a new record. This one was with the Jets and was for $900,000 over two years. That's the same as $4.3 million today, or $2.15 million a year.
