Fantastic spread of votes this week, but we do have a clear winner (which always makes for a happy tallier).
A monstrous victory for kirby101 this week with 4 votes.
Two heads are better than one in 2nd place with Phil Maurice and tartanphantom scoring 3 votes each.
Creeping into third place is Farrar, with 2 votes.
And a horde of little monsters scored 1 vote each: Jeddak, codystarbuck, bert, Rob Allen, Michael, Hoosier X, BadWolf, beccabear67, M.W. Gallaher, Icctrombone, Prince Hal, rberman, and berkley.

Thanks, this was certainly a surprise. So many great covers this week, I don't know if I would have voted for mine.   I will have to think about the new contest. I'll post when a good idea comes to me. |

Definitely a generational difference at play there. As far as sports figures go, I'd say he wasn't far off from being as famous as Muhammad Ali at the time, though his fame wouldn't have been world-wide the way Ali's was. I was completely oblivious to American football as we didn't get it on our channels in Canada back then, at least not in Nfld, but I knew who he was from the general ambience of American pop culture we were surrounded by. Namath became well-known because he guaranteed a victory for his Jets over the heavily-favored Colts in Super Bowl 3 (or III if you prefer) in Jan. 1969...and the Jets won! He was also charismatic, outspoken, and considered good-looking, with his tousled black hair and light green eyes. The press spent a lot of ink covering his "swingin' '60s" lifestyle including what models and actresses he was dating; for example (and probably for publicity purposes) he escorted Raquel Welch to an Oscars ceremony in the early 1970s. He showed up on TV a lot and appeared in a (terrible) movie with Ann-Margret called "CC and Company." And yes, he became infamous for those pantyhose ads! Here's another TV commercial he did in the early 1970s, alongside someone whose greatest fame was still ahead |
