He also appeared in Super Bowl V with that team, with a pass falling through his hands intercepted, giving the Colts the ball in Dallas territory. After he retired from playing he began his coaching career, where he has been replaced on two separate occasions by Wade Phillips. He received Coach of the Year honors in the same year that he underwent quadruple-bypass heart surgery during the final two games of the regular season before his team defeated the Vikings in overtime to advance to the Super Bowl.

An evil version of that project used Alia and a hologram named Zoey to put wrong what once went right. FTP, what is this former NBC series starring Dean Stockwell as the womanizing Al and Scott Bakula as time-travelling scientist Sam Beckett? ANSWER: Quantum Leap 5. David Gallagher, who may be better known for his role on 7th Heaven, played one of these figures on another television show in 2009. Their first appearance saw them as escaped slaves who did not speak English and unknowingly attacked a group of civilians and other superheroes. In recent years they have been parodied on Family Guy, with a joke about a tampon and “the waiting game;” on Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, with a story about a washrag; and in a 2002 comic by Penny Arcade, with concerns about incest. In some appearances they live with Professor Carter Nichols so that they can attend Gotham City High School and claim to be exchange students from Sweden, which would explain their strange names. They also usually have a blue pet monkey named Gleek. FTP, what is this superhero duo that can turn into forms of water and animals? ANSWER: Wonder Twins (accept “Zan and Jayna”) 6.

He played a serious role as drug lord Antwon Mitchell on The Shield, even though his earlier roles came in comedies such as Malibu’s Most Wanted and Kangaroo Jack.

However, it does remain popular in Basque and the Philippines, where it has been banned due its connections to gambling.

One of his first major moves was signing infielder Akinori Iwamura, whom he later traded to the Pirates for Jesse Chavez.
