January 22, 1998 recap

Airdate: January 22, 1998

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is NFL Players Week!

Today's contestants (all female):
Alison Foster: Mother of two, from Walnut Creek, CA
Cecelia Patterson: Works for a major bank in Philadelphia, from Wyndmoor, PA
Gina Partridge: Works with a major insurance company, from Collinsville, TX

And the NFL stars:
From the Oakland Raiders, Desmond Howard! (playing for P.A.R.K. to help kids learn in school and participate in sports)
From the Philadelphia Eagles, Irving Fryar! (playing for Irving Fryar Foundation to help children at risk in South Florida and Philadelphia)
And from the Dallas Cowboys, Daryl "Moose" Johnston! (playing for Daryl Johnston Scholarship Fund to fight illiteracy)



The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. As Daryl can probably guess, the contestants don't want to lean too far, or they might end up like him.
