The WNBA Rookie of the Year award tends to be dominated by the top overall pick (15 of 27). In fact, only once has the Rookie of the Year been a player drafted after the first round. That was Crystal Dangerfield in 2020, selected by what franchise? This franchise has had a record 5 WNBA Rookies of the Year, the most recent 3 out of UConn: the 2011 winner, 2019 winner, and Dangerfield in 2020.

Who was the first Big 8/Big 12 quarterback to start a Super Bowl? He played two years in the then-Pac 8 before transferring to the Big 8, and his Super Bowl appearance marked only his eighth professional start. He’d spent his first two and a half NFL seasons backing up Pat Haden and a fully washed Joe Namath.

Can you believe it's already been ten years since Ian Darke and Steve McManaman had this exchange?

"Balotelli drops...Aguero...he can win it...OHHHH! He's won the title, surely, for Manchester City! An unbelievable finish, two goals in stoppage time! Has the title ever been won more dramatically than that? Who is writing this stuff?"

"OH. MY. GgggOD."

This call was one of many memorable ones for Sergio Aguero's epic 94th minute Premier League title winning goal in 2012. For the writer of this question, the memory of this moment includes an inane Facebook status posted by Bill Simmons immediately afterwards that argues "that has to be the most dramatic ______ moment ever, right?"  Fill in the blank.
