WHO: Fifty-four-year-old Robert Moderhak (Bob), a retired school
administrator from Longmont, Colorado and one of the newest
millionaires of the millennium will continue his retirement
in style -- $500,000 richer from the help of a legendary
quarterback.
WHAT: During halftime at the Nokia Sugar Bowl 2000 National
Championship Game Moderhak played back-up quarterback to Joe
Theismann, legendary NFL Washington Redskins quarterback.
Theismann took the field first, completing one of four
passes--each worth $50,000. Then back-up quarterback
Moderhak entered the field and completed his single pass
adding a "0" to Theismann's total -- upping the winnings to
half a million.
During practice on Monday, Theismann advised Moderhak to
take into consideration crowd noise and lights when he
walked on the field. With anticipation and crowd support
behind him, Moderhak completed the pass under pressure.
Best of all, had Theismann not completed a single pass,
Moderhak would have received $10,000 just for walking on the
field.
WHEN: Halftime at the Nokia Sugar Bowl 2000 National Championship,
January 4th on ABC
WHERE: The Nokia Sugar Bowl, Louisiana Superdome,

WHY: Moderhak won the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to
participate in the Nokia $2 Million Challenge by completing
an online contest entry form on the Sprint PCS Web site.
