PrintWhat's better after a nice long weekend, than a little Tuesday Morning Trivia? As with last week some of these come from Kurupt. This week it is players 1 and 2.
Player 1
- I was born, raised, and went to college in Canada.
- I scored a long touchdown in the 1995 playoffs.
- I had more receiving yards in one game then I ended up with for my entire career.
- injuries forced me into retirement after only 3 years.
Player 2
- My real first name is Donald.
- I played collegiately at Michigan State.
- I once caught 10 straight passes for touchdowns.
- I scored the 1000th touchdown in Bills history.
Player 3
- I was a football nomad, playing for 5 different teams, and never staying longer then 3 years.
- I was drafted by the Bills in 1970 and played for them until 1972.
- Despite being the #5 overall pick, I never started a single game in my NFL career, and should be viewed as one of if not the biggest draft busts in Bills history.
- At USC, I was a member of the famed "Wild Bunch" and earned All-American honors in 1969.
Player 4
- I was selected to the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in 1997.
- I am a 3 time Pro-Bowler.
- I played in 121 consecutive games for the Bills
- I became the only center in USFL history to block for two 1,000 yard rushers in 1984.
*Extra Credit*
- Name the two players
- For what team did this occur?

Ok # 1 has me stumped
2 is Butch Rolle
3 is Al Cowlings
4 is Joe D – can’t even begin to spell his last name.
Cleveland was the team in 1984 and Ernest Byner and Kevin Mack were the RBs.
You got 2 and 3
4 is way off, the only help I can give is to read the last clue very carefully.
I can tell you that #1 is very tough. K was brutal with his clues.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
oops
I can, in fact, read. At least at a 1st grader level.
post Holiday blahs made me overlook USFL and center – otherwise would have guessed Mr Hull as well.
Ha no worries
That wasn’t there before, I modified it later. It said pro football, not USFL. so don’t feel too bad.

Ding-Ding-Ding
Give that man a cigar.

Now all we need is the extra credit
I must say, coming up with clues to these obscure players isn’t easy. Try googling Al Cowlings and see how easy it is to come up with 4 clues that include “I was O.J.’s chauffeur”

Kent Hull
Despite what Wikipedia may say, Hull can’t have been the only player to block for two thousand-yard rushers; the ‘72 Dolphins, ‘76 Steelers, and ‘85 Browns also had a pair of 1,000-yard backs. Plus, of course, his linemates on the ‘84 Generals…
Actually
It says center, I changed it to player to throw you guys off. Perhaps those centers didn’t play the whole year? just a guess.

Not sure about the other teams, but Mike Webster certainly started the whole year for the Steelers. Maybe Hull is the only center to do it in USFL history?
Just asking...
What do you guys think of the trivia, good, bad, don’t care, too easy, too tough,...????
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
Really enjoy these questions
Great feature, keep it up.
Just hard enough that 1 or 2 make you tap the brain’s hard drive.
I need a shot at redemption – As for extra credit, New Jersey Generals with Herschel Walker and Maurice Carthon who went on to the Giants, loved him when he was there.
