In an era of raucous rebellion, shifting social norms, and political upheaval, Namath's roughish charm quickly became symbolic of the commercialization of pro sports, while his progressive views on race further pioneered integration on the gridiron. Yet it was the New York Jets who offered a then-unheard-of figure, $427,000, to bring football's Golden Boy to the upstart AFL. Following a knockout four-year run at Alabama, Namath was ceremoniously courted by every professional football team. But before all that, 'Broadway Joe' was just Joe, the small-town kid from Beaver Falls, PA with an arm so impressive that it caught the attention of University of Alabama's Bear Bryant. In what has been remembered as perhaps the biggest upset in football history, that game catapulted the young superstar to not only football immortality but also into a stratosphere of celebrity the likes of which only a few athletes have ever achieved. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "I guarantee it." Three days before the now-legendary 1969 Super Bowl III, quarterback Joe Namath promised the nation that he could lead the New York Jets to a clear underdog victory against the seemingly invincible Baltimore Colts. ![]() ![]() ![]() My ninth-grade Oklahoma History teacher joked that around these parts, walking is sacrilege. Oil built our houses, paved our streets, and turned us from a cow town stop on the Frisco Railroad into the heart of Route 66.

When seventeen-year-old Rowan Chase finds a skeleton on her family’s property, she has no idea that investigating the brutal century-old murder will lead to a summer of painful discoveries about the present and the past. A compelling dual-narrated tale from Jennifer Latham that questions how far we’ve come with race relations. ![]() ![]() ![]() I really wanted her to go on the mission to rescue Peeta (though I guess this would have made the book super long) instead of staying home feeling lost. I still enjoyed reading it, but I felt like Katniss remains a passive character for much of the beginning. This is my least favorite book in the Hunger Games series. She must become the rebels’ Mockingjay–no matter what the personal cost. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss’s willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans–except Katniss. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. ![]() Published on AugAmazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads ![]() ![]() (Maybe there was something to that “celibate” talk after all.)

Reviews are already starting to appear online, and with them, we’re learning a few things about the mercurial Morrissey that he hasn’t seen fit to reveal until now. After some drama surrounding its publication, Morrissey has published his new memoir Autobiography through Penguin Classics, and it’s out now in Europe. ![]() ![]() ![]() Fossen delivers big emotions in “A Cowboy Kind of Romance,” a second chance love story between retiring Air Force captain Brenna O’Sullivan and her ex, Theo Cameron, who find their way back to each other at the wedding of their respective siblings. ![]() Zanetti’s fast-paced “Rescue: Rancher Style” reunites Tara Webber, a widowed English teacher, with her first love, Greg Simpson, a Marine turned rancher who has just returned to town to parent his niece and nephews following the death of their parents.

![]() ![]() Stockett had a great deal of trouble in bringing her book to print over sixty literary agents rejected the manuscript. Demetrie eventually became the character of Aibileen, and Stockett slowly developed the plot for the book. Despite the fact that Demetrie spent so much of her time taking care of the children, Stockett knew very little about her personal life and decided to fill that gap by writing in Demetrie's voice. She enlists the help of Aibileen Clark (a warm, wise black woman with a tragic past) and Minny Jackson (a sharp-tongued maid with a terrible secret) to assist her in this task.Īuthor Kathryn Stockett drew inspiration for The Help (which is her first novel) from her close relationship with her childhood maid, Demetrie. ![]() In Jackson Mississippi in the 1960s, aspiring writer Skeeter Phelan gets a dangerous idea: to write a book about what it's really like to be a black maid working for a white family.
