infrared41 Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 I think I know the team it must be (thanks to your last clue)...Clue #3 mentions nickname, and I have last name...so I doubt this is correct, but, Grady Alderman?Edit: A better guess is Chuck Foreman. (though the nickname thing is throwing me)It is a better guess. Chuck Foreman is who we're looking for.Played in three Super Bowls with the Vikings. Lost the single season touchdown record and rushing title within 24 hours on the last weekend of the 1975 season. O.J. Simpson scored his 23rd TD of the season against the Vikings passing Foreman and Gayle Sayers. The next day Jim Otis of St. Louis passed Foreman foe the rushing title. Foreman's nickname was "the spin doctor." His son Jay Foreman played 5 seasons in the NFL for with four teams; the Bills, Texans, Giants, and 49ers. Buffalo has the same 0-4 record in Super Bowls that Minnesota does.EDIT: As trekbkr pointed out, Jay Foreman actually played 8 seasons in the NFL.

trekbkr Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 According to NFL.com, Jay Foreman did play for those teams, but his career lasted from 1999 to 2006, a span of 8 seasons. That threw me off your clue. http://www.nfl.com/players/jayforeman/profile?id=FOR395369 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Dallas Cowboy Larry Brown is who we're looking for. Brown was "wide open" on at least one of his two INTs in SB XXX. His two INTs (some might argue they were receptions) against the Steelers led to Brown being the first cornerback to be named Super Bowl MVP. Despite three SB rings, 14 career INTs and playing 8 seasons in the NFL, Brown is on NFL Films' list of "Top Ten One Shot Wonders." Larry Brown appeared as himself on "Married...With Children" along side high school football legend Al Bundy. And finally, as BluSky has already pointed out, the Redskins' Larry Brown played in Super Bowl VII before "other" Larry Brown got there with the Cowboys. Not to be confused with...

infrared41 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 1. I am another player who attended "The U" before it was known as "The U." 2. I played for two teams in my career. Those two teams have a combined total of 8 Lombardi trophies. 3. Referring to clue number two; I have two Super Bowl rings. One was the fourth for my team the other was the first. Neither was the last at that point. 4. While my teammates get the credit for it, I am the one who actually started it.Who am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Jim Burt it is. Free Agent out of Miami. Played for the Giants and 49ers who between them have won eight Super Bowls. Burt's first ring was with the Giants in '86 (Giants first SB win.) His second was with the 49ers in 89 (SF's fourth SB win.) While the common perception is that Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson started the traditional Gatorade bath during the 1986 season, Jim Burt was actually the first to do it during the 1985 season. He's also the guy who knocked Joe Montana into next week in the 1986 playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Mike Ditka??Tight end is the only position I can think of that was a relatively new one by the dawn of the Super Bowl era, and I think Ditka was the "first" to fill that role. And he did win a Super Bowl while playing with the Cowboys. Not sure about the robbery part, though.(Of course, I'm no NFL historian, so this guess is just a bullet shot in the dark.) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
