Watched a little bit of it while I was eating. Here were some of the questions:

1. What language other than English does Philly TE Greg Lewis speak fluently?
2. What future hall-of-famer caught Brett Favre's first Touchdown pass?
3. Why is the racoon the Titans' mascot?
4. Who was Elvis' favorite NFL player?

Interesting answers, especially #2.

2. Andre Rison?

Edit: Actually, since you said it was interesting I bet it was an offensive lineman on a tackle eligible play...

Negative, not a Falcon. He was 0 for 5 in his only game as a Falcon. Also, he was intercepted, but that wasn't his first thrown reception.

As far as 2, I think the only person who has caught their own touchdown pass is Brad Johnson.

He was the QB for my fantasy opponent that game. Manged to get 12 points for one pass (plus double whatever the yardage was).

well, I was going to say Sterling Sharpe, but since Sharpe is neither a future Hall of Famer, or an interesting answer, I didn't bother to post it.

I believe Steve Young has done it too, but I'm not certain, and I don't know where to look it up. www.pro-football-reference.com doesn't have his receiving statistics.
