Joe Theismann is best known for his standout career at Notre Dame and for winning a Super Bowl with Washington. But it all started in New Jersey where Joe grew up a Jets fan. Theismann idolized Joe Namath and finally met his hero during his rookie year. He describes that experience, as well as his rivalry with the Giants and the night that ended his career. Monday Night Football in ‘85 was one of the most gruesome scenes in NFL history, and Theismann explains how it bonded Lawrence Taylor and him to this day. Theismann is the ultimate storyteller and takes us behind the scenes of the windy Meadowlands, his awkward relationship with Don Shula, and how Jersey will always be in his blood.
