Ripley's Believe It or Not has been presenting the incredible and the unusual in illustrated form since Robert Ripley's first "Champs and Chumps" comic published on Dec. 19, 1918. Currently, B.I.O.N. is illustrated by John Graziano, who has been working as an artist and illustrator since 1983, when he received a certificate in illustration from the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts. He has designed trading card sets and a portrait series based on the 1960s cult TV show "Dark Shadows." John has also created comic strips for "Scream Queens" magazine, designed t-shirts graphics and created storyboards and concept drawings for Hollywood films. Researcher Lucas Stram has worked since 2004 as the voice behind the cartoon, reviewing potential stories, filtering through the hundreds of weekly submissions and putting together the stories for John to bring to life. New submissions are always welcome. Just click here.

Can someone tell me the name of a “cup of coffee” NFL player (and his team) as an example? Also, Ricardo Blas, Sr. must be so proud of having such a heavyweight son.

I tried to google the question about one-game wonders…google tried to rephrase the question , the closest I got was a list of players who had only one good season. Therefore, I think this is a case of Believe It Not .

Below par and prone to injury. I’ve known 2 49rs like that. Drafted, traded, hurt, and retired.

A cup of coffee is a short stretch spent in the Major Leagues, supposedly named that because the player has only long enough to drink a cup of coffee before he’s back in the minors.
