Phillips, who had spent most of his career as a college assistant coach, spent 1975-1980 as Houston's head coach before he took the same job with the New Orleans Saints until 1985 when he resigned mid-season.

6. Which NFL athlete famously told the post conference press that he was 'feeling dangerous' before a November 2018 game against the Atlanta Falcons?

Answer: Baker Mayfield

Baker Mayfield backed up his words with his quarterback play in this one, throwing three touchdowns with no turnovers in what was a fairly laid back 28-16 victory over the visiting Falcons.

Answer: "Fans don't boo nobodies."

Reggie Jackson spent 21 years in the MLB (1967-1987) and earned the nickname "Mr October" for his clutch postseason hitting. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1993.

Also known as 'Rosie', Casals won more than 90 different tennis titles during the 1960s and 70s. She won nearly six hundred singles sets during this time, as well as a little more than five hundred in doubles.

10. Who said this about football: 'This is a game for madmen'?

Answer: Vince Lombardi

Lombardi is regarded as one of the greatest NFL coaches of all time. This is mainly as a result of his well known career with the Green Bay Packers, where he won five NFL championships over the course of seven years in the 1960s, in addition to the first two Super Bowls in NFL history in 1966 and 1967. With a career winning percentage slightly over 73%, its fair to say that perhaps Lombardi was one of the maddest of madmen in his view.
