Joe Namath Autographed Orange Bowl Seat

Hi everybody. OK, who remembers sitting out in the cheap seats in the west end zone of the Orange Bowl? C'mon, you remember, the seats that would make your back hurt for a week, even if you were young. They were great seats because the crowd out there was crazy, crazy in a fun way. It didn't matter who was playing, it was just fun.

Now image sitting out there in 1969 during Super Bowl lll. Even crazier. For those of us who are aware of such things, it was the beginning of the modern Super Bowl era. All because of one guy - Joe Namath, Broadway Joe, Joe Willie. In one brilliant wag of the tongue,  he famously predicted the NY Jets would beat the fearsome Baltimore Colts and forever change the way football would be played. And the Jets did just that. Considered one of the great football upsets of all time, Joe Namath was named MVP without ever throwing a touchdown pass in the game. A million years later Joe Namath is still ridiculously famous.

If this is you, its your lucky day. If its not for you, this might be the greatest gift ever given. And by the way, this vintage Joe Namath signed orange bowl seat has been authenticated by the city of Miami. No kidding. Check it out:
