If you have an hour and a half to spare, I highly recommend "Namath", the story of Joe Namath, currently airing on HBO. I surprised myself by enjoying it so immensely. Above all, what interested me is the societal lesson that it incorporates. It's impossible to watch and listen without acknowledging the mention of prescription drugs and how easily obtainable they were/are, especially for a celebrity playing life in pain. He tossed the pills and instead chose alcohol as a personal drug of choice. It nearly killed him, before the same inner strength that drove his abilities worked to make him heal. The life saved is well worth living, as he enjoys his beautiful family. Congratulations, Broadway Joe, on a higher level than that of a game of ball.
