Now for Something Completely Different

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Who can tell me (no googling please) something I know for sure these 5 retired NFL QBs have in common? Hint: You might want to talk it over with your wife/gf.
First Place: Cadillac
Second Place: Steak Knives
Third Place: You're Fired

Broadway Joe Namath
Norman "Boomer" Esiason
Christian "Sonny" Jurgensen
Vinnie "and the Jets" Testaverde
Easy Eli Manning

Some common wrong guesses:
They were all married to the same woman.
They all have a dog named Hammer
They all love Dr. Pepper
They have all been in a Bud Commercial
