Charlie Tolar\nNorthwestern State University of Louisiana was an early American Football League star. At Northwestern, Tolar was twice Gulf States Conference MVP and still holds four school records. \nOne of the most popular figures in the early days of the AFL, the 5-6, 210-pounder had dozens of nicknames, including "the Human Bowling Ball", and was named to AFL All-Star teams in 1961, 1962 and 1963. Tolar helped the Houston Oilers win the first American Football League championship in 1960, and to repeat in 1961. The team finished as runners-up in 1962, when he was the team's Offensive MVP with 1,012 yards and a league record 244 carries. He was named to the Oilers' 30th Anniversary Dream Team chosen by fans in 1989, and was among the top ten all-time rushers in the history of the AFL. He is a member of the American Football League Hall of Fame.

Jake Delomme because Eli Manning has that beautiful last name. A quarterback with a laser, rocket arm.

Bowling for Dollars. Come on, Chick Hearn as the Host and people getting up and bowling for about $80 bucks? Hilarious! Or that other old show, Dialing for dollars, where they grab the phone book and call people up and if you knew the correct amount you won! How stupid was that? I know, most of you are way too young to remember the good ole days of TV!

Jeff Thomson.\n\nJeff Thomson's all time fastest ball bowled in cricket history, 161.5 kph against the West Indies in 1975 in Australia.\n\nShoaib Akhtar became the first bowler after Thomson to break the 100 miles per hour barrier bowling against New Zealand, but he made it clear he was not specifically looking to break Thomson's record.

I believe Mark Harmon played for UCLA in the early 1970's.  It is always hard to beat ebay for finding everything.

Oh, I remember the days of "sootball."  A mixture of softball and football where the PQB (Pitching Quarterback) would use his wicket to knock the softfoot out of the pitch.\n\nWhat memories.\n\nIf you meant fantasy football, that is an insane question.  Whom are you referring to when you ask "who?"  I guess I have the best fantasy football team because I don't know who else to compare my team to.
