...been so bad that Robert Naso, who coached the Lions from 1980 to 1984, left New York with a career mark of 4-43-2. That's a .102 winning percentage. Of course, that's one hundred and two points better than the winning percentage of his successor, Jim Garrett. Garrett ended his tumultuous career...
...Wisconsin research lab, Teri MacDonald (Helen Hunt) is teaching sign language to her prize pupil, a chimpanzee named Virgil (beautifully played -- no kidding -- by a chimp named Willie). After two years, Virgil is shipped to an Air Force base in Florida for a top-secret experiment shepherded by Jimmy Garrett (Broderick), a bright, goof-off airman who develops the same parental bond for Virgil that Teri had.

...first $40,000 installment in hand, Garrett had to pay off fines and reimburse San Diego County for five years of welfare payments. Soon after, he was arrested in his newly purchased Buick Skylark along with two passengers, one of whom had just sold 8 oz. of cocaine to an undercover narcotics agent. Facing narcotics and firearm charges, Garrett must stand trial next month for allegedly stealing two bottles of cognac from a liquor store. The unlucky winner did manage to make bail by pledging $80,000 as security -- from his future lottery payments...
