Dan -
I agree, the Namath HBO Documentary was excellent.
Namath and Seaver are the icons of my youth. I remember pleading with my parents at 8 years old to allow me to go with my Dad to what turned out to be Namath’s last game at Shea in December 1976.

I had read about the Bachelors III settlement more in depth a few years back.

Although Namath acquiesced and agreed to Commissioner Rozelle’s mandate to sell, the documentary failed to touch on what astute businessmen Namath and his team of lawyers actually were. The NFL was coming off its most watched game, Superbowl III and Rozelle was renegotiating the leagues television contracts. Rozelle was using Namath and the new stregth of the AFL as his leverage with the networks. Namath’s brief retirement in the Summer of ’69 came as Rozelle was in the midst of these negotiations. Clearly he and his camp were flexing their leverage as well.

The link below to the Sports Illustrated article from July 1969 is a brief but good review.

Always a pleasure reading your posts Mr. Fitzgerald.
