This hard luck franchise lost in the 1998 NFC Championship game to the Jamal Anderson-led 'Dirty Bird' Falcons. A missed kick did them in. Again.

Cory Lidle
Marquette 1999-2008
Tom Crean
Wayne Gretzky, like every other category, led the league in +/-. Three Flyers finished in the top-5:

Mark Howe.
Led the NFC and NFL in passing yards in 1983; won an NL Cy Young in 2012.

Baltimore Colts, 13-1.

The Calder Trophy (Rookie of the year...I think) was awarded to this man -- he would go on to make 10 consecutive All Star Games to begin his career, eight of them with the Los Angeles Kings.
Luc Robitaille
Averaged 11.9 ppg over 17 seasons for four teams, including a trip to the 1991 NBA finals; made three-straight All Star Game appearances for the AL from 2013-2015, and had 30+ saves all three years.

Had 90+ receptions twice and 1,000 yards three times over a 10-year career from 2000-2009; had a 14-year NBA career for five teams from 1990-2004, but his career high was just 12.8 ppg for the 1996 Miami Heat.
Laveranues and Bimbo Coles
The defense of their Super Bowl the previous year came to a screeching halt in the Divisional Round. They did lose to the future champs, so that's something, right?
Green Bay Packers, 2011 (15-1).
On July 29, 2002, the Phillies traded Scott Rolen to "baseball heaven" along with Doug Nickle and cash in exchange for future fan-favorite Placido Polanco, and two other players. Name one of them.
