FWIW, the Jets' victory (that is singular) in the Super Bowl was probably the most influential game for what the sport has become today. I remember it well. The build up with Namath was classic. Poolside shots sipping drinks, guaranteeing a win when nobody gave them, or anyone connected with the AFL, a chance...Biggest upset ever with the greatest long term affect. But the organization was more of a class act then, starting with Weeb vs Rex.
