Joe Theismann
“The word ‘genius’ isn’t applicable in football,” Theismann once said. “A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.” Dumb, but not as dumb as it sounds: Theismann went to high school with a guy named Norman Einstein, who was the class valedictorian and went on to become an emergency room physician. Possibly due to too many head hits from Lawrence Taylor, Theismann referred to the Einstein no one knows.
