You Can't Catch Sunshine Don Maynard

You Can't Catch Sunshine When the AFL s New York Titans began play in 1960, their future looked anything but certain. In fact, on paydays teammates would race each other to the bank, vying to cash their checks before the well ran dry. But then the players didn t do it for the money; they did it for the love of the game. The first player added to the Titans roster was a modest wide receiver from a small mining school in Texas, an NFL castoff who could run like the dickens. Country Don Maynard was an instant success. Three years later, the newly christened Jets started making noise in the Big Apple. And when the wily veteran teamed up with a brash, young quarterback out of Alabama, the Jets became the toast of the town. Now, more than 40 years after the Jets remarkable victory in Super Bowl III, Don Maynard tells his story for the first time, from his childhood practicing hurdles in the dusty cotton fields of Texas and throughout his winding football career that took him through the NFL, CFL, AFL, and then back again to the NFL and ultimately to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

NFL Americas Game Prior to the 1968 season, the AFL was considered a minor league compared to the more established NFL. The league had already lost Super Bowls I and II. So the success of the New York Jets, and their quarterback, Joe Namath, could not have come at a better moment. Namath, who had a quick release and charisma to burn, piloted a Jets offense that set a franchise record by scoring 419 points that season. Still, his high-flying attack played into the perception that the AFL had finesse teams. But the Jets also led the league in defense, and possessed a punishing ground game that produced 22 touchdowns. This was a veteran group that bowed to no one - not even the powerful Baltimore Colts of the NFL. The Colts were heavily favored over the Jets entering Super Bowl III, which made Namath's now famous, guarantee of victory before the game, all the more surprising. "Broadway Joe" then orchestrated one of the greatest upsets in pro football history, winning a world title for New York ... and the AFL at large. Join NFL Films as they retell the story of the '68 Jets, a club that lived up to its p... |
