Chris Weinke
Who cares how old Chris Weinke is? He's thrown for 4,167 and 33 TDs.
But Page 2 wanted to know a little more about Weinke than just statistics. We recently asked the 28-year-old Heisman candidate 10 questions to get a little insight into his personality.

1. Who are the three people who you'd invite to a dinner party?
Jennifer Aniston, Joe Montana and Babe Ruth.

2. What is the best movie you've ever seen and why?
The Shawshank Redemption, because it keeps you thinking. In terms of comedy, Caddyshack and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation are two of my all-time favorites.

3. What is the one book you'd take to a deserted island with you?
When I was in the hospital someone gave me A Good Walk Spoiled, by John Feinstein. I haven't had time to sit down and read it, but everyone I've talked to has liked it.

4. What are the last three CDs you bought?
I haven't bought any new CDs, I just borrow them from my roommates.

5. What is your biggest superstition?
As a team, we all slap the sign above the locker room door (which says "Repeat, No Excuses" this year). Personally, I always put my wristbands on before I go get my ankles taped.

6. Complete this sentence: "When I think of the Heisman Trophy, the first thing I think of is ..."
The Heisman pose.

7. What would be the first thing you'd buy after signing an NFL contract?
A new set of golf clubs.

8. What is your favorite junk food?
Ice Cream sandwiches.

9. What is one moment in history that you wish you could have seen?
The Miracle on Ice in the 1980 Olympics when we beat Russia for the gold medal.

10. What will be the biggest difference between college football and the NFL?
Age ... just kidding. Seriously, I'd say the speed of the game.
