Besides being a great receiver, Don Maynard is surely one of the funniest guys to ever play the game. One classic concerns his difficult negotiations with Weeb Ewbank over a salary increase. The punch line is when Ewbank tells Maynard he will give him a very small increase, but insists Don not tell any of the other players. Maynard replies, "Don't worry coach, I'm as embarrassed about the amount as you are".

Not really a fan of the Jets or Raiders, but just wanted to say that football back then was real football. A catch was a catch, a fumble was a fumble, you didn't have all these technical bs rules to tell you which was which. QB's took there beatings like men, they didn't cry about it like QB's of today, hence look at the beating Namath took in that game and the Jets still won.

In 1969, he was a mess, and almost quit football. He came back in 1970. I believe 1970 is listed as his rookie year, when in reality it was not. He had rough start. The rest is history.

As a lifelong fan from the mid 60's, I have to say that the NFL sharing these videos is GREAT for the game in numerous ways. I think you (NFL Films & NFL) spending EXTRA effort in sharing these videos (the whole timeline and genres) will pay off in a broader fan base that will come to appreciate that even though nothing is 'perfect', that does not mean it can't be a hell of a lot of fun along the way. On a side note: Thank you (NFL) also for your growing support for players and outreach to local communities. I realize there are some owners that have different goals but other owners (e.g. Ravens, Seahawks:-( seem to have a symbiotic and supportive 'team' approach to community outreach. That is, the front office encourages and supports players community outreach efforts. I would also plug the Ravens environmental record. It is QUITE impressive and worth showcasing by the NFL Films. Thanks again. ALWAYS been a fan.

This guy had such an impact. To me Hollywood can be measured as before Brando and after. Pro Football is the 45 years pre- Namath, then every thing after. To heck with career stats measured against today's run free wide receiver era.

Statistically, it's a shame that Namath played during that era when you could pound the hell out of quarterbacks and mug receivers going down the field because he was as talented as anyone that played the game. No one threw a prettier, tighter pass than Joe Namath. To watch him just flick his wrist and send a football on a line down the field was a thing of beauty and I've never seen any quarterback since who threw like Namath.

If Namath, as he was at that age, had simply had the same knees he had just before his senior year in college, he could easily have played in today's league. His throwing arm and overall talent as a quarterback were that good. Unfortunately he came into the league with a damaged right knee (damaged to the point of making him ineligible for the military draft), didn't have the luxury of the pass-friendly rule changes that were instituted in 1978, and was subjected to all kinds of physical punishment that would not have been allowed today -- or even twenty years ago.

@AllPro777

This is an example of the brainwash people have digested about Namath. For one, Namath couldn't read a defense if you gave him the other team's playbook. He was an interception machine that blew more games than can be remembered. The only reason he'd be able to play in today's era at all is because defenses are in handcuffs, but he'd still be just a mediocre QB today because he lacked the football IQ that a top flight NFL QB has. What people either choose to forget or don't know about is that Namath was in a battle to keep his job a number of times because his play was so often poor. One such battle was with what history would call a total nobody name Mike Taliaferro. He nearly lost his job to Taliaferro and to be clear Taliaferro was not a good QB. Secondly, Namath wasn't some kind of legendary "tough". Resilient sure, but let's not get carried away. Jim Brown was legendary TOUGH, he never missed a game. Third, regardless of not playing in the "pass friendly era", Namath was still near the bottom of his era when it comes to performance from what is considered the top level of QB's. Just compare his stats to Johnny Unitas' for a perfect example, and Unitas played his ENTIRE career in the defensively tougher NFL. Daryle Lamonica was the AFL's best QB and he remained a threat in the NFL. The man only lost 16 ball games his entire career. 16 ball games. Lastly, Joe Montana may consider Namath his idol, but Namath wasn't even good enough to have carried Montana's jockstrap. If Super Bowl 3 wouldn't have happened without the guarantee and win, Namath would've been nothing but a mere footnote in history and rightfully so. His play was nothing more than footnote worthy, but unfortunately people have spent a half century romanticizing on him as more than what he was.

I remember watching this game live. I grew up in Cleveland. The Browns were hosting the Colts at the exact same time and our game was blacked out locally so this was the only game on the TV that day. What I most remember was that after the game a kid (about my age) jumped in this little jet mobile car and drove it across the field. I was jealous.

Before the merger with the NFL to be able to watch two games every single week on NBC was a treat! It was a virtual lock that the morning game from the West Coast that is would include Namath and the Jets. Then the afternoon game would always have either the Chiefs the Raiders or the Chargers. No matter what Sundays were full of excitement because of the AFL!

Notice at the end of the game, Namath in the middle of the field, he could barely walk. Like a boxer at the end of a very tough fight. He took a lot of punishment in this game. His toughness gets overlooked.... finally the bomb to Maynard on the audible was ice veins money... Namath was a gamer. The bigger the moment, the more he embraced it and let his arm shine.

At 6:10 Mr. Maynard said he didn't care about the SB ring that he was more interested in the $15K. Interestingly in 1968, an unknown company called Berkshire Hathaway was just starting to sell stock under an unknown CEO named Warren Buffett. If Mr. Maynard had invested that $15K in shares in 2021 that stake would have been worth $25 million.

Home games were not broadcast on TV in those days. This included the AFL Championship game. Living in Brooklyn, we always listened to the home games on the radio. The voice you hear calling the game is that of Merle Harmon, the Jet radio announcer from 68 to the early 70's. Sam DeLuca, former OT for the Jets, was his radio partner. I can still hear Harmon's call when Ralph Baker recovered the lateral pass LaMonica attempted at the end of the game. Part of that call is here, but I wanted to here him say again "...And the Jets are going to the Super Bowl!"
