Tuesday Morning Trivia

by sireric on Jul 8, 2008 6:48 AM EDT in Blog Series

Good morning Rumblers. Lately I've noticed some complaints about the difficulty of the trivia, and maybe I did go a little far (Walter Jackson Bate was a bit much, but you try finding clues about Corbin Lucina), so with that in mind I'm going try and make at least one of the trivia answers a little easier than the others. Have at it my friends.

Player 1

- I played only 1 year of football, after playing 4 years of basketball, at Jacksonville State University.

- I played 7 NFL seasons, all with the Bills.

- I was on all 4 Super Bowl teams.

- I was selected in the 9th round (#227 overall) in the 1987 NFL draft.

Player 2

- I was selected in the 10th round (#261 overall) in the 1985 NFL draft, out of William & Mary college.

- In 1987 (my first season as starter) I tied for the AFC lead with 6 interceptions.

- I finished my 8 year NFL career with 30 interceptions.

- I am currently the development director and varsity football coach at Saint Mary's high school in Lancaster, N.Y.

Player 3

- I was a consensus All-American in 1971, and won the Lombardi award that year.

- I am a member of Notre Dame's All Century team.

- I led the Bills in sacks my rookie year.

- I served for 6 years as the commissioner of the Syracuse Board of Education, and have also been a board member of the Boys and Girls clubs of America.

Player 4

- I was born in Landstuhl, Germany.

- I attended San Diego State University.

- I was selected in the 3rd round (#62 overall) of the 1987 draft.

- I was the UPI NFL - NFC Rookie of the year.

*EXTRA CREDIT*

- Who was the Bills first ever draft pick?

- In 1992, who was inducted into the Bills Wall of Fame?

I'm deducting points for cheating

first pick?

RB Ernie Davis, Syracuse, from Elmira – died of cancer. Just a guess.

Nope try again

You have the correct side of the ball though, if that helps.

please no more trivia!

If your brain hurts, just take Tuesday mornings off. :)

Soon enough

I imagine that once training camp gets into full swing and, the pre-season nears, I’ll shelf the trivia until next off-season.

I like the trivia; keep up the good work here man...

I imagine Tuesday mornings, once the season start, are usually dedicated to FF – final scores, waiver wire, etc. I hope you can keep this up until then..

Wall of Fame

1992 – Was that the 12th Man, perhaps?

You are correct sir!

Mark Kelso?
(Wild guess, but I have some vague notion that he went to W&M)

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

D'Oh

Now I see that that was already posted.

Sure, but at least your wild guess was right! :)

by Brian Galliford on Jul 8, 2008 3:51 PM EDT up reply actions

Yeah, I'm taking solace in that.

I blame the lack of a bold subject line in your posts.
And East-coast bias.

I’m an avid reader at Let’s Go Tribe, where bold subject lines are all but banned. I don’t like them, so I don’t use them.

Can’t help you on the East Coast bias. :)

You mean those losers who traded C.C.

At least the Yankees didn’t get their evil clutches on him.

oh thank god

I don’t think I could have lived with CC being a Yankee. It would be like if the Bils up and traded Peters to the Pats.

by kaisertown on Jul 8, 2008 5:09 PM EDT up reply actions

It’s sad to see CC go, but I like the prospects of the kid they picked up.

by Brian Galliford on Jul 8, 2008 6:29 PM EDT up reply actions

what do you think about the CC trade?

I’m too lazy to go over to the SBNation cleveland site and the trivia post seem like as good as any to get way off Bills topics.

I was hoping for more.

I love LaPorta. He is a legit slugger with a good eye at the plate. He will help out at some point next year and may even start the season at first or in left.

But the team would have gotten a first and a sandwich pick after the first just for letting him walk. If I were running the team I would have asked for two stud prospects. I wouldn’t have let Milwaukee grab him without Gamel or Escobar too.

by kaisertown on Jul 8, 2008 5:00 PM EDT up reply actions

Don’t forget the PTBNL though. LaPorta’s more than enough to keep me satisfied with the deal for the time being, but I’m definitely interested to see who that extra player turns out to be…
