And probably a lot of listeners are going to know the name Joe Namath.

Dude, I mean, he had his own talk show.

It's not just that he was on the Brady Bunch.

So everything we were talking about a minute ago with NFL films and Rozelle and all the brilliance there and how it was so important in this realization that football and the NFL would be made for TV.

Joe Namath was the first modern cultural celebrity athlete.

He was the first professional athlete that appealed equally to men, women, and children.

That's a great point.

So...

He comes and he's playing in New York, right?

In the biggest market, the brightest lights, right there with the TV industry, right there with the advertising industry.

He knew exactly how to play it.

He wore white cleats.

Everybody else wore black high tops.

Famously, he wore a mink coat on the sidelines.

Just like amazing, amazing.

Like he starred in movies in the off season.

Broadway Joe was it.

Yes, we're pumped to be working with Brett, Clay, and the whole team over there.

And a fun fact for this NFL episode, Sierra works with Wilson, the official exclusive manufacturer of NFL footballs since 1941.

1941!
