I'd ask in the Sports Forum but I trust you guys more.

3. You must be thinking of someone else. Dave Casper wasn't albino.

4. Oh yeah, you're right

I was thinking of Beetlejuice. He played for the Raiders didn't he?

[madinmaryland]

5. Because he was hard to cover. Plus his name was perfect to match the

way he played.

6. That's exactly correct!
