“The word “genius” isn’t applicable in football. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.” —Joe Theisman

The late, great Norm MacDonald had a sort of autobiographical book in which he related that during his life folks would say stuff like “Good job there, Einstein!” He said he was flattered being compared to Alfred Einstein but “really, I wasn’t as smart as they thought I was.”
Norm was the greatest! Although he suffered with cancet for six years he never revealed it to his fans. He believed he was gifted with a sense of humor to uplift the audience, not trouble them with his problems. What a guy.
