I got a few contributions for both Brian and Kurupt this week, so this is kind of a team effort. I can't think of anything else to say right now so here you go...

Player 1

- I was a starter for Cal in the famous Cal/Stanford band game.

- I am the only player to ever be on 5 straight Super Bowl teams, even though I didn't play a single down in any of them.

- My son is a 5 star QB recruit for the class of 2009.

- I started my career in Seattle.

Player 2

- I played collegiately for the Maryland Terrapins.

- I joined the Bills in 1971 as an undrafted free agent.

- In 1974 I recorded 9 interceptions, good for 2nd in the NFL.

- I played in 128 games during my 9 year NFL career, all spent with the Bills.

Player 3

- I played 5 seasons with the Bills before being released after suffering a sciatic nerve injury.

- I was a 2-way star at PSU, playing on both the offensive and defensive lines.

- I was selected in the 5th round (#119 overall) of the 1968 draft.

- I am currently the senior vice president of the Union Bank of Switzerland.

Player 4

- I was born in the same town in Minnesota as Walter Jackson Bate.

- I attended Augstana College.

- I played 10 NFL seasons, mainly for the Bills.

- The Bills drafted me in the 6th round (#167 overall) in the 1993 draft.

Oh....and if I'm correct about #1...

He did play some mop-up time in his last super bowl. I think he even through a int.

Let me guess

you knew Bate off the top of your head?

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

You are correct, Gilbert did play in the last Super Bowl. I have no problems pointing fingers…That was Kurupt’s clue. I could have looked it up to verify, but I was in a rush this morning. I blame him ;)
