Joe Namath
December 8, 1974 – Bills at Jets. Joe Namath, the quarterback for the New York Jets, keenly tunes into the game’s narration from the sidelines caked head to toe in mud. This was an incredibly muddy New York Jets-Buffalo Bills Game. Thanks to Namath’s two passing touchdowns and 131 yards of domination, the Jets would take the match with a score of 20-10. The game was far from over when Namath walked off the field, and his anxious face showed how intense the competition was.
Nadia Comaneci
August 2, 1976, at the Montreal Summer Olympics. Romanian Nadia Comaneci gracefully flips through the air at Montreal’s 1976 Summer Olympics. If she seems completely perfect, it is because she managed to actually land a perfect score for her performance, something that had never happened before in a gymnastic bout at the Olympics. She also bagged three gold medals at the Canadian Olympics, making her one of the most angelically talented gymnasts of her time.
