...John, who was seven-twelve for 130 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the first half, finished at 10-17 for 153 yards to wrap up a respectable--if not surprising--debut...
...Boxing is No. 1." At 28, Jones certainly has a No. 1 physique: he weighs 248 Ibs., has an 88-in. reach (9 ½ in. longer than Muhammad Ali's) and a 15-in. fist (as big as Sonny Liston's).

Appearing in a production of William Inge's Picnic, the former football player played, well, a former football player named Hal Carter. Namath, as always, moved well and turned on the charm; as always, he gave the ritual credits to team and coach.
