While technically you are correct, that is not the right answer. In fact, that answer is seemingly thousands of miles off. |

Did Keith Van Horn have a failed late-night talk show that we don't know about?

Thinking out loud.
Bill Clinton, Gerry Cheevers, Bill Bradley The obvious link is between Clinton and Bradley -- they both had political careers, and both ran for the Democratic presidential nominees. I'm not aware of Cheevers having any sort of political life -- he's probably most famous for his scarred goalie mask. Jason White, Bart Starr, Joe Montana All QBs. All have last names that mean something else. Magic Johnson, Bob Costas, Keith Van Horn Obviously some sort of basketball connection. Someone mentioned (jokingly) that Johnson and Costas both had talk shows. Al Gore, Shaquille O'Neal, Maria Sharapova I will try very hard not to make any Bill Clinton/Kobe Bryant jokes.

Everyone listed certainly has been very successful in their professional lives. There is a definitive connection between all three names on each line, but nothing you have reached yet. While all the puzzles have different answers, the answers will all have something in common. |

They all won championships at Yankee Stadium.
That should be a big clue to solve the rest. |

Ah, I was actually thinking of the Bowl game itself and not the stadium, but that works .

Magic Johnson - won the NCAA championship in 1979 at the Jon M. Huntsman Center.
Bob Costas - was host of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City where I suppose the opening ceremonies were held at the Jon M. Huntsman Center. Keith Van Horn - played college ball at Utah, where home games are played in the Jon M. Huntsman Center. |

The Orange Bowl? Lombardi coached SB II, Mckay won as a player there with Bal in SB V, Gillman must have won a big game there at some point, with OSU or UC maybe?

I'm guessing LA Memorial Coliseum. Home of the LA Chargers in 1960, USC, and Super Bowl I.
