Holy flippin' trivia....
Wow, those are doozies my man. I can’t believe Slick Willie has a stadium named after him, with Rice of course. Guess they’ll name a stadium after anyone nowadays…
I forgot how good(?) Jeffcoat was. 102 sacks is a lot. At least enough to have a stadium named after you if you ask me.
Now that I think of it, I can’t believe there isn’t a bar named after me.
Correct answer update
#2 is Conrad Dobler
#3 Is Jim Jeffcoat
#4 is not either Billy Shaw or Mike Stratton.
#4 is still out there.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
Give that man a Beer!!
Originally I had the 4th clue as ” I was the 1996 UPI AFC coach of the year” but I thought that made it way too easy. K confirmed that for me so I switched it.

I have to admit...I used the internet.
But I’ll still take a beer my good man.
While surfing around, I came across this website: http://www.remembertheafl.com/1965ToppsBills.htm
The “comic” section on the back of these cards is hilarious. My personal favorite is Tom Sestak’s, but they really are all good.
Is there a website out there that anyone knows of that shows the front and back of every card out there? This makes me want to go through all of my old cards….
I stummbled on that site before myself, those old cards are great. I also found this site on Wikipedia

C'mon Sireric - using scab players as trivia!
Willie Totten was a 1987 replacement player.
IMHO there are too many forgotten Bills on our “real teams” to dip into this pond already.
Blame it on me my man...
I suggested Totten to sireric. Do you remember watching that game against the Giants? LT played TE for some of the game. Terrible football game. Terrible.
Also, calling Totten a “scab” is a bit harsh. These pro sports “unions” are nothing of the like. They are an actual insult to real unions from back in the day….
Scabs
Is the problem that I stumped you (finally) or that Totten was a replacement?

You had me there
I was out the door at 6am and just got online at 6pm – but you would have had me on Willie Totten;-)
Who was the other 1987 replacement Qb from Bowling Green – Brian McClure I think?
And in that Giants game Will Grant C from the late 1970’s early 1980’s came back and got about 12 holding calls – eghhh!!!!
The other problem with obscure guys
is finding enough info for some clues. Some of these guys have little to no info available.
