No, no one has come close to Namath, who was with someone new virtually every week, it seemed; but he sort of started the media fascination with NFL players and starlets. Baseball had DiMaggio and Monroe, probably others before and after; but the NFL didn't have the same national fascination and reporting before the '60s. It was changing, and Broadway Joe kicked it into the entertainment industry big time.

Other players can get by better than QBs, but it seems like the media waits for the chance to blame a star for a QBs rough patches.
