Let’s end the first installment of this announcers friendly on an incongruous note, with a question about…a game that didn’t have any announcers. On the last day of the 1980 NFL regular season, NBC sports boss Don Ohlmeyer decided to spice up one of his network’s games by not having either a play-by-play commentator or an analyst, leaving viewers to follow the game solely via on-screen graphics and extra volume on the stadium’s public address system. Name either of the two division rivals that played in the “announcerless game.”
New York Jets and Miami Dolphins

Only five quarterbacks in Big Ten history have finished their careers with more than 10,000 passing yards for one team, bowl games included, and all of them graduated in the year 2000 or later (which was also the last year any of their schools won a Big 10 championship). Post-graduation, their combined NFL record as starting quarterbacks is 172-122-0...or 0-8, if you remove no. 1 from the list. Name two of the five.
Drew Brees, Curtis Painter, Adam Weber, Clayton Thorson, Brett Basanez
