Fun fact
Lui Passaglia missed the start of the 1988 season because he was in the camp of the Cleveland Browns #NFL - released Aug 21
The BC Lions struggled with the trio of Tony Martino, Roy Kurtz & Bernie Ruoff.
When Passaglia returned to BC he only did the punting until Ruoff was injured.

Lui Passaglia was a backup receiver early in his career. Due to small roster sizes of this era, it was quite common for a kicker to backup at another position.
The clip 👇 shows Passaglia taking a rep at receiver in a game from 1978.

Ok who do I have to bribe with stroopwafels to get access to this place?
I promise I won't steal or even touch anything and will only be being weird and talking to the artefacts like a silly old history addict.

When you register your name in the Icelandic phonebook you can choose to state your profession. And they have a pretty loose definition of what exactly a profession entails.
This person for example has opted for „þjóðhetja“. It means „National Hero“.
