Before there was 'The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien', 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' or Jay Leno (whatever they call his show) at 10 PM, there were many late night talkers to entertain us.  In the days between the transferring of the late night crown from Johnny Carson to David Letterman it seemed everyone (Chevy Chase, Pat Sajak and even 'Magic' Johnson) had their own nighttime television show.

Among the less memorable was 'The Arsenio Hall Show'.  However, there was one rehabilitated woman (Paula Abdul) and one recurring bit ('Things That Make You Go Hmmm...') that Arsenio was notable for doing (and the latter even inspired a 1990 hit song from C +C Music Factory).

This past Sunday during Week 3 of the NFL season, Brett Favre led another improbable comeback.  With only 2 seconds left in regulation, Favre connected with Greg Lewis for a 32 yard touchdown pass that give the Minnesota Vikings the lead (and the win) over the visiting San Francisco 49ers.

A come-from-behind win led by Brett Favre is hardly unbelievable.  But what was surprising, at least to me, was learning that it was the first time Brett Favre has ever thrown a game-winning touchdown pass in the final 10 seconds of a 4th quarter.

Huh?

Really, it was.  (Just too be sure, I watched 'Monday Night Countdown' and Chris Berman confirmed it - reluctantly, I might add.)

It's easy to overlook certain facts about sports especially when it comes to legends of the game.  We take it for granted and assume that they've done it all and in every way.  But they haven't.

In honor of those late talk shows, here is the rest of 'Top 10 NFL truths that should make us fans go... Huh"?

9. Edgerrin James (2) led the NFL in rushing in more years than Walter Payton (1) did.

8. Chuck Noll won more Super Bowls (4) then any head coach in NFL history but was never once named as "Coach of the Year".  He retired after the 1991 season and the following year Bill Cowher, Noll's successor, won the award.

7. The great Johnny Unitas career Super Bowl passing stats... 14 for 33, 198 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT.

6. During Miami's consecutive Super Bowl seasons (1971-1973), Earl Morrall (90%) had a better winning percentage then Bob Griese (87%) as the Dolphins starting QB.

5. Both Joe Montana (SB XVI) and Tom Brady (SB XXXVI) have won Super Bowl MVP Awards in games which their opposing QB (Kenny Anderson and Kurt Warner, respectively) had thrown for at least 140 yards more than them.  And in Brady's case it was over 200 yards.

4. The 2000 Baltimore Ravens and the 1979 Pittsburgh Steelers are considered among the best defensive seasons in history.  During those years, neither was the NFL's top ranked defense.

3. There is only one placekicker in the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Jan Stenerud).  His career field goal percentage (66.8%) would have ranked him in last place among kickers in 2008 who attempted more than 10 field goals.

2. Dave Krieg is hardly, if ever, mentioned for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  Yet he ranks in the top 15 of all-time in almost every key passing category.

1. And, finally, since the 1970's Ron Jaworski has appeared in more adult films than Ron Jeremy.

Okay, we made up that last one.
