Florentino Perez presided over a period at Real Madrid in which they signed one megastar per season from 2000-2006, known as the "Galacticos" era. What Portuguese legend and Ballon d'Or winner is widely regarded as the first of these "galactic" signings, coming from Barcelona for a quaint-sounding 60 million Euro in 2000?

It’s a soundbite that will live in media folklore forever: “Come after me! I’m a man; I’m 40! I’m not a kid!”

That’s the most memorable lime from Mike Gundy’s iconic postgame interview after Oklahoma State football’s 49-45 win over Texas Tech in 2007. Gundy’s rant was in response to a newspaper article criticizing quarterback Bobby Reid, who -- despite entering the year on the Manning Award watch-list -- was benched in the team’s second game in favor of another quarterback. Reid’s replacement wound up becoming a mainstay at OK State, finishing his career with 88 total touchdowns (thanks to his rapport with Dez Bryant.) He then spent four years in the NFL as a backup with the Patriots, Seahawks, Lions, and Bengals before moving to the Rams organization as a coach, where he currently serves as the team’s passing game coordinator. Who was Reid’s replacement?
