Doug Williams Broke a Barrier, Phil Mickelson Lipped out for 60, and Joe Malone scored 7 - This DiSH for Jan. 31

In 1988, Washington's Doug Williams became the first black QB to start a Super Bowl and after throwing 4 TDs in the second quarter, leading the Redskins to a 42-10 win over Denver, he also became the first black QB to win the MVP.

In 1993, the Dallas Cowboys beat Buffalo in Super Bowl XXVII 52-17. The game is remembered for one play involving Leon Lett and Don Beebe.

In 2013, Phil Mickelson lipped out a 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole. Instead of a career defining 59, it was an impressive but oh-so-close 60 instead.

In 1970, LSU's Pete Maravich became the NCAA's all-time scoring leader, passing Oscar Robertson.

In 1920, Quebec's Joe Malone scored 7 goals which is still the NHL record for most goals scored in a single game.
