ADVANCE FOR WEEKEND EDITIONS, JAN. 27-28 FILE ** Washington Redskins quarterback Doug Williams, most valuable player of Super Bowl XXII, cheers his team on during third quarter of game with Denver Broncos in San Diego, Ca., in this Jan. 31, 1988 file photo. When Doug Williams became the first black quarterback to start a Super Bowl 19 years ago, he was the object of what is considered No. 1 on the list of all-time wacky Super Bowl questions: "How long have you been a black quarterback?" Race again will be the focus next week, when Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith become the first two black coaches in the game. (AP Photo/Amy Sancetta)
