    They all punched out someone during a game, or while watching one, or got the crap beat out of them.....(Aikman: 10 sacks in 2nd year in one single game in Dallas, versus The Reggie White Eagle assassination squad of goons!)

    2nd guess: They were all born in the 20th century....I know that one to be true. LOL.
