Not sure if it was easy or if it was just right in my wheelhouse ... the one that almost tripped me up was Alan Page ... I saw justice and started writing Byron Whizzer White ... but then I saw STATE ... I knew Page was a judge, a MVP and a HOF. (And from Notre Dame).
But the best guess was that haley was a 4th rounder ... I had no idea, I just picked a round. Should buy some scratchoffs today.

A little bit on Tinglehoff: http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/160861/fran-tarkenton-eager-to-present-mick-tingelhoff-at-hall-of-fame
Those Viking teams of the 60's and 70's were amazing, I can still see the breath coming out of the players purple helmets at the Old Met. Moving indoors killed the luster of that franchise, but at least the fans were cozy. They sure had some great teams back in the day ... Jim Marshall belongs in the Hall

I agree with you on Marshall.
And the Vikings will be outside for another year playing at the Gophers stadium (which is right across the street where my son now works) until their new stadium is finished. I had thought perhaps they would go back to open air....but apparently not. It is indoor, but is supposed to be airy, but not exposed.
