I remember reading once that the only thing sonny and billy agreed on was that they both hated Joe. lol.
In his 12-year NFL career, there wasn't much that Theismann, a native of New Brunswick, New Jersey, didn't deal with in some capacity. "I was hated as a quarterback and I was the odd-man out in a three-man quarterback rotation with Billy Kilmer and Sonny Jurgensen. They forged a friendship from their mutual dislike for me," he recalled. "It's true. I was not a favorite of the players or the fans because these guys were worshipped, and rightfully so, in the Washington area."

Theismann can also relate to starting at the bottom of the roster and working your way up, something many young players that star in college have to deal with on the pro level. "I started as a punt returner in the National Football League and was a third-string quarterback," Theismann remembered.

And though he was controversial, Joe T. did what Sonny, Billy K. - or anyone else - could not: Theismann brought a Super Bowl trophy back to D.C.!

"Although he was runner-up for the Heisman trophy, awarded to the best college player in the U.S., Joe was considered too small for the NFL. The Argos, however, feel they have landed one of the great QBs of the future."

Check this out

They used to have the media guide on eBay. But I guess Canuck bought it already.
