?? Sunday Special- Not a good idea

In the world cup final on july 9, the French Soccer legend Zinedine Zidane got himself kicked out of the game. The french lost, and Zidane's career ended on a very sour note.

3. Why is Hwang Woo-Suk min this quiz?
4. In 1987, it happened on an appropriately named ship, the "Monkey Business" and, arguably it ruined a career. What happened, and who's career?

6. In 2005, Harry Stonecipher dated an employee and was forced to resign his CEO position. He was CEO of what big Chicago-based company?
7. In 1978, he directed a movie that won best picture and best director Oscars. Two years later, he made a picture that nearly beggared his studio and wrecked his career. Name the director, the great movie, and the bankrupter.
8. If you're famous, don't hold your baby off a balcony where the whole world can see. Whose career suffered when he did?
9. Her name is now Mary Fualaau. It'll be hard for her to ever return to her teaching career. How come?
10. He went to a movie in Sarasota, Florida. Not usually a career-buster, but it was for this entertainer. What was the name of this character, and what was the name of HIS character?
