0 Guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 HA! It came to me all of a sudden after getting two names. Very, very nice. Two of my favorite things combined. I love football and puzzles. Being an ex-linebacker (only junior college), Defensive Superbowl MVP's are near and dear to my heart.

To make up of that, here's another of note: probably the first and last of his kind. You might call him special.
