What NFL Hall of Famer still holds the single-season interception record, was known for his bone-crushing tackles, and had a nickname that stems not from a fear of flying, contrary to one legend, but from a 1952 instrumental song by Jimmy Forrest?

Before Tyus Edney become a UCLA folk hero, making a mad dash down the court and scoring the game-winning layup in a March Madness game, he starred at Long Beach Polytechnic High School (Calif.) next to this player, who, after devouring quarterbacks on the football field, averaged 14 points and 13 rebounds for the Jackrabbits basketball team in 1989-90. He went on to play college football a short drive away, before being selected fourth overall in the 1994 NFL draft, winning three Super Bowls as a key piece of a perennially staunch defensive unit. (Fun fact: His other high school classmates included Snoop Dogg and Cameron Diaz.)

Greg Norman’s ongoing attempt to take down the PGA Tour is no secret, though it’s hardly the first time Norman has railed against the establishment. One of his earliest efforts was a successful coup, which saw the 1994 International Captain (a two-time Major champion and Norman’s countryman, no less) ousted just weeks before the 1996 edition. Though he denied being the ringleader for the ouster, Norman (and several other players) formed a mutiny against the 1994 Captain, claiming that he wasn’t taking the preparation for the event seriously enough. They successfully replaced him with yet another Aussie legend, himself a five-time Major champion that would also stay on for the 1998 and 2000 Cups, making him the only winning International Captain to-date. Name either the jilted Captain or the man who replaced him.
