NFL Week 9: ?????????

It's a special mystery week here at the blog! I am leaving to go back to the homeland later today - not sure if I will be able to access the blog for a week! With that background, here's a mystery game show for you fans out there.....

This should be easy if you have an encyclopedic memory of game shows from the 1980s; we'll see how many of you are true fans out there.


So - who is this person playing for the Chargers and what game show is he associated with?

OK, is that too hard? Let's see his face ....will that help?

Again, should be fairly easy....

Quick picks for the games; if I have time and access, I will add comments to these. I'm a little despondent after last night's debacle of a 21 point loss to the Bengals....
