Tuesday Morning Trivia

It's official Rumblers, this is the next to last TMT of the season. Thats right, after next week I'm putting away the trivia for a while. Don't worry we'll have your plate full with training camp, position battles, predictions, and of course fantasy football. So I'm going to make the last two trivias a little different, this week we have Nepotism at it's finest.

 

Player 1

- I attended Nebraska University.

- I was selected in the 5th round (#156 overall) by the Bills in the 1999 NFL draft.

- My Father was a much more accomplished NFL player.

- I last played for the 49ers.

 

Player 2

- I attended Syracuse University.

- I played 4 NFL seasons, 1 each with 4 different teams.

- My better known older brother played for the NY Giants.

- I'm currently a gym teacher at Malden Catholic High School in Massachusetts.

 

Player 3

- I won the 1996 Dial award, which goes to the nations top high school athlete/scholar.

- I attended the same college as Walt Patulski. (Been paying attention?)

- I signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent.

- My father and 2 cousins played or play in the NFL, and my brother was a training camp cut of the Cardinals.

 

Player 4

- I attended Wake Forest University.

- My older brother was my teammate at both Wake Forest and with the Cheifs.

- My other older brother played in the NFL as well and is currently a broadcaster.

- I was a 9th round draft choice (#229 overall) in the 1986 NFL draft.

*EXTRA CREDIT*

(Nothing to do with nepotism)

- What future hall of famer did the Bills select with their top pick in the 1964 draft?

Close...

but no.

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

Jackson

That was my guess, too.

Best Guess

Player 2 is Will Allen’s younger brother?

by Fort Worth on Jul 15, 2008 9:32 AM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I didn’t even know Will Allen had had a younger brother, so thats a no.

That’s a great trivia question, sireric. Very obscure. (#2, I mean.)

by Brian Galliford on Jul 15, 2008 9:45 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Okay.

Everyone probably already knows this, but I’ll mention it anyway. I know 2 Will Allen’s in the NFL:

1. Cornerback Will Allen, played at Syracuse University, drafted by the New York Giants, and currently plays for the Miami Dolphins.

2. Safety Will Allen, played at Ohio State University and was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In the National Championship Game, he tackled Willis McGahee on the play where McGahee tore 3 ligaments in his knee.

Ha, yeah, that messes with my head ALL the time. Especially if the Bucs play the Dolphins.

Here we go
1 is Jay Foreman 2 I’m guessing is Tebucky Jones? 3 Dan O’Leary WR Notre Dame? 4 is Gary Baldinger

Extra Credit: Billy Shaw?

Get the Bills back to the big game!

#2 is ??

Extra Credit is very tricky and not Billy Shaw.

Come on, K, you have to name actual names.

In 1964 the AFL hadn’t merged with the NFL just yet, so there were two drafts. Carl Eller was selected by both the Bills and the Vikings, he obviously chose the Vikings and went on to have a hall of fame career.

Kudos on the nepotism theme. That was excellent.

by Brian Galliford on Jul 15, 2008 11:45 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I was trying to spice it up a bit.
Of course now I’ve gotta come up with something to top it and finish with a bang.

No Ronnie Pitts? Or Carlester Crumpler, Sr.?

"May a nit suck Cajun geese?" wonders Red. No, we see gnu Jack Cust in a yam.
