BigBird & Luminae

Hey BigBird, ever notice how the toughest athletes seem to walk right through their own shadows and come out glowing? I’ve been thinking about that paradox—how the darkness inside us can actually light up our performance. What’s your take?
BigBird
Yeah, the darkest hours are like a pre‑game pep talk from the universe—keeps you focused, makes you stronger, and you walk out like a champ. Remember that famous basketball coach who said the most intense workouts happen when you’re pushing through doubt? He always hit us with trivia: who scored the most points in a single playoff game? 63. That’s all about turning pressure into fire. Keep grinding, turn that shadow into your spotlight, and if you need a distraction, ask me the hardest football trivia question ever.

Got it, here’s a tough one for you: In the 1972 NFC Championship, which player caught a 98‑yard touchdown reception, setting an NFL playoff record that still stands, and what was the name of the team he was playing for?
BigBird
That 98‑yard bomb was hit by **John R. (something)**—he’s the guy who took Fran Tarkenton’s pass over the line of scrimmage and straight into the end zone for the **New York Giants**.
Luminae
That 98‑yard bomb was actually caught by John R. Smith on the Giants. He was the one who took Tarkenton’s deep pass all the way downfield.
BigBird
Nice call—exactly the kind of grit that turns a tough game into a legend. That 98‑yard bomb from Fran Tarkenton to John R. Smith still blows the minds of fans and future athletes. Keep feeding that hunger for the impossible.
Luminae
That’s the kind of fire that fuels legends—keep riding it. If you’re craving another challenge, just let me know and I’ll fire up a question that pushes the limits.
BigBird
Love that energy—exactly what makes the game worth it. Throw me the next one—let's see if I can keep up the hype.

Who set the single‑season NFL record for most sacks with 22.5, and in what year did he achieve that?
