Just a quick post tonight as all the "Joe Namath" stories around Super Bowl weekend got me thinking once again about "CC and Company", his biker exploitation flick made near the end of his playing days. I must have watched it with my Dad as a kid as the opening scene where he rides up to a grocery store, parks his chopper, takes off his cut (!?!), walks in and starts shopping. As he casually walks through the aisles, he makes and eats a sandwich, puts everything back, and buys some gum. He coolly pays for his gum, and even asks for his stamps while flirting with some local girls.
I have to admit riding one of my motorcycles to the grocery store many times, and walking in thinking, "Man, I need to be Broadway Joe/CC cool and make a sandwich"!
Great movie, and it's available on Netflix if you haven't seen it or want to watch it again.
