Brandon Martin and Anthony Notaro know what it’s like to be starving artists: they were in a not-so prosperous band together during their freshman year at Xavier University. Fortunately, they weren’t literally starving just hungry for success.

The start of 1964 brought big changes to the Jets and the AFL as a whole. The Jets were moving into a new stadium, and the AFL was getting a new TV deal brokered by Sonny Werblin. Remember that Sonny was still involved with MCA when he first bought the Jets. It was MCA along with Harry Wismer who signed the original deal with ABC back in 1960. That deal was essentially a numerous amount of one year deals.

Sonny of course new all the people who crafted the original deal with ABC including Jay Michaels (the father of announcer Al Michaels). If NBC wanted in they would have to pay and pay big.
