Flutie?

Without using Google I know you're both wrong. Neither Moon nor Flutie ever played in the Super Bowl.

Yeah, I couldn't remember if Moon ever got to one with Minnesota.

Did Notre Dame ever play in a Rose Bowl back in his day? That's a good guess, though.

When did the Rose Bowl become exclusively Big Ten vs Pac 10, does anyone know? I feel like that's an important part of the question.

AFAIK it always was (at least in the Super Bowl era), until the BCS came into play (which was late 90's early 00's I believe).

I had no idea, so I had to Google it. Not sure anybody is going to get this one.

Joe Kapp

This should be easier. What player has won a super bowl and grey cup in the same city.

Did not know trades took place between the leagues.

Kapp ended up signing with the NFL's Minnesota Vikings in a multi-player "trade" between the CFL and NFL teams, one of the very few transactions to ever occur between the two leagues.

The Minnesota Vikings in 1965 had drafted running back Jim Young out of Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. He had spent the 1965 and 1966 seasons with the Vikings, but wanted to return to Canada. The BC Lions were very interested in acquiring Young, but the Toronto Argonauts had his CFL rights.

The Minnesota Vikings general manager was Jim Finks, who had brought Kapp to Canada in 1959, and their head coach was Bud Grant who had faced Kapp while coaching the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Both Finks and Grant thought Joe Kapp would be the best replacement for Fran Tarkenton who had been traded to the New York Giants. To make this transaction possible, the BC Lions traded all-star defensive lineman Dick Fouts, and future Canadian Football Hall of Fame running back Bill Symons to the Toronto Argonauts for the CFL rights to future Canadian Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Jim Young. They then managed getting Kapp waived out of the CFL.

The Minnesota Vikings managed getting Jim Young waived out of the NFL, which allowed the BC Lions to sign him. The expansion New Orleans Saints wanted Young and it took some work from Finks to keep them from claiming Young.

Kapp, waived from the CFL, was free to sign with the Minnesota, who had previously claimed his NFL playing rights from Washington.
