Well, last year was a bit dismal as we didn't have any $100K wins. I have a good feeling that '05 will be a step up. Anyway, as James Brown takes place this week as your sportscaster, we begin the biggest week in professional football and amateur puzzle solving - NFL Players Week. Will these teams score big or get shot down by BANKRUPT? It all begins right now...
EPISODE #4181: NFL PLAYERS WEEK
Airdate: 1/3/05
First football stars...
Hines Ward (Pittsburgh Steelers)
Jevon Kearse (Philadelphia Eagles)
Torry Holt (St. Louis Rams)
Go!
Lou solves THE WHOLE NINE YARDS.
Our first teams of '05:
Lou Cardella & Hines Ward: Pittsburgh, PA. Retail sales agent for a local bank who's married to Jennifer. Hines is a 3-time Pro Bowler for the Steelers (and also made 112 receptions last season) and is playing for the Highmark Caring Foundation.
April Himes & Jevon Kearse: Wyndmoor, PA. Editorial assistant and worker for a company that does OSHA training who's also a mom of 2 girls. Jevon's also a 3-time Pro Bowler and is playing for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lee County & Philadelphia.
Dianne Guittar & Torry Holt: St. Louis, MO. Teacher of 29 years at Pattonville High School who also coached the school's dance team to 4 national championships. She's now a volunteer at the James S McDonald USO and also brought her personalized license plate (LV-RAMS) here for good luck. Meanwhile, Torry's playing for his own foundation.
Go!
This is where the Pro Football Hall of Fame is and Dianne knows that's CANTON, OHIO.
GIFT TAGS: DIRECTV, Bally Total Fitness (2 one-year memberships)
Dianne & Torry solve PORK SHOULDER PADS to claim the cash bonus. Dance away, you two!
DUDS: T (Dianne/Troy), N (Lou/Hines)
BANKRUPT: April/Jevon
PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: trip to the Reebok NFL Players Rookie Premiere presented by 989 Sports (marked NFL PLAYERS INC) worth $4,500

Hines plugs his foundation...
...and Jevon plus his foundation going from commercial.

BEHIND THE WEDGE THIS WEEK: Kia Rio ($12,800)
Lou solves TOM BROKAW RETIRES FROM NBC NIGHTLY NEWS DESK.

FINAL SCORES
April just never got things going...also, all charities will receive the $10,000 minimum as usual.
WINNINGS SO FAR (NON-CHARITY): $25,850
BANKRUPT TRASH: $6,800
BONUS ROUND:
This week's champion will attend Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville, FL, the NFL Players Party and also receive some NFL Player mania. This also includes a selection of autographed memorabilia, authentic Players Inc. gear, a Reebok GC, plus much more.
As for Dianne, well she could drive off in a 2005 Cadillac CTS or a 2005 GMC Yukon SLE once this is over. She has her sisters and soul mates (Dawn & Donna) watching as Torry spins the 100's Digit.
RSTLNE gives three again:
Contestant wipe is the NFL Players logo.
DGMO looks pretty good...
This playing...will not go OUT OF BOUNDS because Dianne's got it for $40,000! She's got $58,850 to take home while Torry gets that same amount for his charity.
Tomorrow's lineup consists of...
Warrick Dunn (Atlanta Falcons)
Brandon Stokley (Indianapolis Colts)
Kurt Warner (NY Giants)
Pretty good first day. Plenty of money won and some charities are pretty happy about the outcomes...
We see some football footage in the end credits for most of this week.
