WHOM DID Dennis Quaid (right) turn to to prepare for The Express, his movie about Syracuse running back Ernie Davis opening on Oct. 10? Jim Brown. Quaid, who plays Syracuse coach Ben Schwartzwalder, befriended Brown—who played for the Orangemen from 1954 to '56, a few years before Davis—while filming 1999's Any Given Sunday, in which Quaid was an aging QB and Brown a coach. "Jim was my main source for this role," Quaid tells SI. "He gave me insight into Ben's character and the time." ... Hank Williams Jr. has been belting the opening of Monday Night Football for 20 years, and he, for one, is glad the show is no longer leaning on celebrities in the booth. "Some of them murdered it," Williams tells SI. "I'd say, 'What did they get that idiot for?'"
