I posted this on another thread but I am afraid it might get lost in the shuffle and I would really like to get your input, so I am posting it again in a thread of its own. I would like to know if anyone else has heard about this. I saw it on the internet somewhere but neglected to get the link and now I can't find it. I saw on the news that Gary Hogenboom, the former NFL quarterback will be on the upcoming edition of Survivor. I was wondering if all of these will be celebrities or if he just made the cut. He is 47 years old and played ten years in the NFL, six of them with the Dallas Cowboys. He was never a really big star. Has anyone else seen anything about it? It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I heard it on local Dallas radio that he was a contestant. I don't think he really qualifies as a celebrity. As you said he was never a big star. What most fans might remember is the season when Tom Landry named him the starter over Danny White, and then he went out on Monday Night Football and set the Cowboy record for most completions in a game. But then he quickly faded into obscurity and lost his starting job back to White. I'll root for him.

They just said on the Early Show that the next cast will be announced on the show tomorrow.

I saw him on the Early Show this morning. He said he wouldn't be using his last name during Survivor. He thought it would get him voted out right away because everyone thinks working in the NFL means big money, but he was pre-big money. I didn't catch all of them, but the oldest is a 63 year old man, there's an Ivy League guy who says he won't tell because he doesn't want anyone to think he's too smart, and a young female who says she's into sports and not a girly-girl. I wish I had taped it so I could review it after work tonight. Maybe it'll be on somewhere else tonight. Guatamala looks beautiful. I love the ruins. It begins on Sept. 15th.

Jeep... I went to Guatemala a few years ago on vacation. It is an absolutely magnificent country. I'm totally psyched about this Survivor, more than I have been about any of the other Survivors.

After Dallas, he finished his career with the Colts and did rather well with them. In fact, he holds a record Peyton Manning doesn't; most TD passes in a game (7). Wish they'd mention his time with the Colts along with the Cowboys but they don't for some reason. I'll be pulling for him.

I'd like to know the source for your data concerning the 7 td's in a game. Thank you.

It happened durring the last strike season back in the 80's, some teams had players that crossed the picket lines (Gary was one of them). I can't recall who they were playing, but it was a home game in Indy. I just recall Gary threw 7 TD passes in the game, and to my knowledge Peyton has only ever thrown 6 in a game, but I would imagine some might say it wasn't fair because Gary was basicly playing against "scab" players, but the NFL counted the games and stats.

Well I can't find it. http://www.nfl.com/history/randf/records/indiv/passing The NFL record for most TD passes in a game is 7 and Hogeboom isn't listed. (Luckman, Burk, Blanda, Title, and Kapp) Peyton Mayton is listed with 6 in a game. There are only 4 seasons where Hogeboom threw 7 or more touchdown passes (1984-Cowboys-7, 1987-Colts-9, 1988-Colts-7, 1989-Cardinals-14). In those 4 season the only games where Hogeboom's team scored 42 or more points (the minimum for 7 touchdown passses with missed extra points) were 10/4/87 (Colts at Bills), 11/29/87 (Oilers at Colts) and 10/31/88 (Broncos at Colts). Still looking for specific boxscores for those games. The strike season was 1987. http://sportsmediainc.com/wvspn/index.cfm?func=showarticle&newsid=465&bannerregion=Beckley%20Region This article seems to suggest it was 5 TDs Hogeboom threw in a game. Well, that's all I can find right now.

I like this guy. He may not be a "celebrity" per se, but he's not your average survivor either. I figure anyone who plays pro football knows about pain and how to work through it. I think he'll be an asset to his tribe.

I wonder how long he can keep up the "I'm not a football star" lie before someone clues in. From what I saw in the first ep, though... I think he'll be OK to watch.

If he keeps up the 'leadership' role he could be toast soon, especially cos he's quite a bit older than the others.

Well, RB, not necessarily. It worked out ok for Tom last season!

Just wanted to add that I now feel very old, because I remember watching him play for the Dallas Cowboys.

I think they'll get suspicious when somebody asks him for something and he says "go deep" or he calls a huddle and starts calling out plays. or he calls Jeff coach Landry.

i would hope that Danni who is a sports radio talk show host, would know enough about sports (please don't let her be just the "pretty voice" to put two nd two together. (but since they are on different tribes he may slip by, perhaps they are kept seperate for that reason.)

From the previews it looks like he's going to be tackling someone, so his cover may be blown this week.

Kale, Danni is the only one that recognized him, although he denied it. So I guess maybe she is more than the "pretty voice". Probst said in an interview I read that it was quite amusing watching him deny who he was to someone who knew he was lying. And although he couldn't come out and say it for obvious reasons, you got the feeling from the tone of the interview that Gary goes pretty far in the game. And I think the fact that he is older than the rest of them would help him in that regard.

Who cares he was a QB?? it was years ago, doesn't mean he is rich now..he should have told them he WAS a QB YEARS ago..but now does the landscaping, that would show he still has to work.

Why does he say he is a landscaper (or owns a landscaping business if his profile says real estate developer?

Julie, I guess it's better than saying he's in real estate or is an insurance salesman....I don't know. I think he should come clean sooner, rather than later.

i don't think it should matter who he used to be, but i think the tribemates will not like that he lied about it. they may wonder what else he lies about. i never heard of the guy before and i really like football and used to collect sport cards and memorabilia, so he couldn't have been a montana or a marino! he seems like a nice guy, but i think it may bite him in the butt that he wasn't honest about it. he may be thinking they will all think he had his time as a celebrity and has tons of money, so he doesn't need/deserve a win here. guess time will tell!
