Did you know not only was he a Grey Cup winning coach with The Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the CFL he was also on the 1948 Minneapolis Lakers NBA championship team

I dropped this question. But I read it as if the bonus player could be any position. I mainly dropped it because I couldn't think of anyone for the bonus.

Did you count the Stanford/Hoover/Elway and Stanford/Hoover/Plunketts separately? Because they are two distinct answers.

Thanks and Thanks.BobF wrote: Thanks for a really fun TD and congratulations to Category13!
An NFL T.D. with lots of Super Bowl trivia? It doesn't get much more wheelhouse than that for me.
I knew all the answers for Q10 except for Roethlisberger/Harrison, but it wasn't worth the risk of a sheep to give an answer.
I have to contest that neither the Colts or Browns have relocated their franchise twice since 1970 though.
The present day Browns were just reincarnated as a new franchise to appease the loyal Cleveland fans.
