 No running gag: Stewart excels gag: Stewart excels: 1/4/98
PITTSBURGH -- Kordell Stewart was off and running in his first NFL playoff game, carrying the Pittsburgh Steelers to the AFC championship game.
Stewart looked tentative and fearful of throwing interceptions, but when he took off running, the one-time Slash -- the receiver-runner-passer role he played on the Steelers' 1995 Super Bowl team -- added a big-play dimension unlike that of any other quarterback.
Stewart's 40-yard touchdown run, the longest in Steelers playoff history, gave Pittsburgh the only points it needed yesterday to beat the New England Patriots 7-6 in the lowest-scoring playoff game in team history.

This was on one level a great 'double entendre', but was also an exceptionally high-brow gag, which many viewers weren't necessarily able to recognize as humorous outside of it painting Ross as a "nerd".
The gag was usually used to enhance the aforementioned "Gay Chandler" joke, but was often funny on its own.

Springfield Nuclear Power Plant is on Interstate 95, which runs along the East coast of the USA from Florida all the way through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Hampshire to Maine.
