Among those other things was playing the straight man for of the all-time classic questions at those pre-Super Bowl "media day", the year the Redskins were playing the Denver Broncos (and in the end, thanks to a 4-touchdown second quarter engineered by Williams, obliterating them), when a reporter asked Williams "How long have you been a black quarterback?"  Unfortunately, according those party-poopers at Snopes, this question was never actually asked, although it's widely been reported, along with various responses by Williams.
