The correct answer is 'Tom Brady'
Under the system that had been in place two years earlier, where the votes were based on the votes of a media panel, Ty Law would have won the MVP award. Law got 5.5 of the media votes, Viniateri five, Brady four, and Otis Smith 0.5. But, Brady receiving four votes from fans voting on superbowl.com and no one else got any. Therefore Brady was voted MVP. He only recieved 553 more votes than Adam Viniateri out of 272,000 votes cast. Sounds like the system needs a little bit of adjustment.
Super Bowl Question 10
Football Flakes - I called my Hall of Fame coach "a plastic man - actually, no man at all." My first two years in the NFL were brilliant, as I led my team in rushing and they made the Super Bowl, but I wasn't impressed. In one of the few times I spoke to the press, I wondered "if the Super Bowl is really the ultimate game, how come they're playing it again next year?" No one had a good answer! Who am I?
The correct answer is 'Duane Thomas'
The saga of Duane Thomas of the Dallas Cowboys is one of the stranger ones in NFL history. He joined Calvin Hill in the Dallas backfield in 1970, giving the team one of the best running back duos in the league. His 95 yards against the Miami Dolphins helped the Cowboys to a 24-3 victory in Super Bowl VI. But he was sullen and antisocial, dubbed "The Sphinx" by reporters and teammates because he'd not speak to them. One of the funniest moments in NFL history occurred after Super Bowl VI, when CBS's Tom Brookshire got the unpleasant assignment of interviewing Thomas in the locker room. Thomas tried to have former NFL great Jim Brown, clad in a dashiki, act as his on-air "spokesman." A visibly nervous Brookshire managed to ask Thomas if he was as fast as he seemed to be, Thomas coldly replied, "Evidently," and the interview, for all intents and purposes, was over at that point. After the 1971 season, he was traded to the Washington Redskins. He didn't play in 1972, then had two lackluster years before leaving football.
