A man receives a free ticket to the Superbowl from his company. Unfortunately, when he arrives at the stadium he realizes the seat is in the last row in the corner of the stadium-he is closer to the Goodyear Blimp than the field. About halfway through the first quarter he notices an empty seat 10 rows off the field right on the 50 yard line. He decides to take a chance and makes his way through the stadium and around the security guards to the empty seat. As he sits down, he asks the gentleman sitting next to him, "Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?" The man replies negatively. Now, very excited to be in such a great seat for the game, he again inquires of the man next to him, "This is incredible! Who in their right mind would have a seat like this at the Superbowl and not use it?" The man replies, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Superbowl we haven't been together at since we got married in 1967." "Well, that's terribly sad. But still, couldn't you find someone to take the seat? A relative or close friend?"
"No," the man replied, "they're all at the funeral."
Mike Shanahan, clearly upset about the Broncos' losing record, decided to find out how Marty Schottenheimer has gotten the Chiefs' to play so well. Shanahan showed up at a recent Chiefs' practice and asked Marty: "Coach, what is your secret? Why is your team so good?" Marty responded by calling Elvis Grbac over. "Elvis, who is your father's brother's nephew?" Grbac answers, "Why coach, that's easy. It's me." Marty turned to Shanahan and said: "That's the secret, Mike. A smart quarterback. You've got to have a smart quarterback." Thinking he finally had the answer, Shanahan returned to Denver and the Broncos' practice. He promptly called over John Elway. "Elway! Who's your father's brother's nephew?" John looked perplexed, thought for a minute, and said "Coach, can I get back to you on that one?" Shanahan, (disgusted) said, "OK." x In the locker room, Elway called over Shannon Sharpe: "Shannon, coach just asked me the weirdest question. Who's your father's brother's nephew?" Sharpe: "Duh! That's easy. It's me!" Later, Elway caught up with Shanahan: "Coach, I think I've got it. My father's brother's nephew is Shannon Sharpe." Shanahan (angry): "No. No. NO! You idiot!! It's 'Elvis Grbac!'"
