45. NFL QUARTERBACK RYAN LEAF-- (1998-2001) He signed a $31.3 million contract. Career stats: 14 touchdown passes; 36 interceptions; 4 wins; endless run-ins with teammates, management, media and fans. (That reminds me of the wonderful Cade McNown, the Bear's Mr. Wonderful. I bet neither one gave their ill-got money back, or even some of it.)
44. 1988 DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE-- Michael Dukakis. (Well, he didn't win, but a lot of candidates have lost. What makes him so special?)
43. MY MOTHER THE CAR-- (1965-1966) TV show about a lawyer and his reinCARnated mother. (To my credit, I didn't watch it.)
42. APPLE LISA-- (1983-1985) The computer's cost stung at $9,995 ($21,660 today). Apple buried its last 2,700 Lisas in a Utah landfill in 1989. (Never heard of it, but never used a 'puter till 2000.)
41. GERALDO RIVERA-- opening Al Capone's "vault" on live TV in 1986. (Hey, sometimes in history work you don't find the treasure or anything for that matter. The American public always expects something interesting, but in historical research of any sort, it is usually 1% excitement and something really interesting to every 99% NOTHING!!)
