Questions by the Tulane University Krewe of Quiz Bowl TOSS-UPS 1. This player, the only rookie quarterback to lead his conference in passing and start a Pro Bowl, completed a last minute, fake-spike pass to Mark Ingram, Sr. against Pete Carroll’s Jets in the so-called “Clock Play.” He appeared in the 1995 music video for Hootie and the Blowfish’s “Only Wanna Be With You” as well as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, in which he is told to die of gonorrhea and rot in hell. In his second season this man set the record for passing yards in a full season, a record that has since been broken by Drew Brees in 2011. That season also saw him set the record for touchdowns in a season and win the 1984 NFL MVP. Since his retirement in 1999 he has seen his number retired alongside Bob Griese’s and currently appears on The NFL Today on CBS. FTP, who is this former Miami Dolphins quarterback? ANSWER: Dan Marino 2. This song was controversially leaked online three weeks prior to its intended release along with another new song, “Party,” by the same artist.

This includes an instance of choreography similar to that found in West Side Story, as well as a wardrobe reference to Audrey Hepburn’s iconic dance scene in the film Funny Face. That video also earned praise for the performer for her ability to master her choreography despite being noticeably pregnant during the time of filming. This pregnancy is referenced within the song in the lyric, “I’m trying to make a three from that two,” a feat which was accomplished in the birth of Blue Ivy Carter in early 2012.

A senior advisor to the Rays with this first name was the bench coach for the Yankees in four of Joe Torre’s World Series runs and was memorably thrown to the ground by Pedro Martinez in the 2003 ALCS. Yogi Berra leapt into the arms of a pitcher with this first name following a win against the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1956 World Series that saw him pitch the only perfect game in postseason history.

That character arrives during the first episode of this show after following a short-wave radio broadcast to Southern California where he meets the Tanner family.

In his most-recent appearance, he is given a wrench, and that game, Nuts & Bolts, features a vehicle-building element.

The main female character from this show lacks social skills, an absence which is evidenced by her continued use of the phrase “I don’t know what that means” whenever pop culture is referenced in conversation.
