Tuesday Morning Bills Trivia

by sireric on Apr 14, 2009 10:00 AM EDT in Blog Series

Just a little over eleven days until draft time! I've already bought my ice cream and unbuckled my pants. I'm getting a little creative for this week's version of TMBT: this one should be interesting. Don't cheat, (or save your answers anyway so others have a shot), and look out for false clues that make life tough.

Mystery Player 1
I was a Sun Devil.
I went to the Pro Bowl after my second NFL season.
My son Lonzell also played in the NFL.
I played for the Bills and Lions during my seven year NFL career.

Mystery Player 2
I played college football at Kentucky State University.
I hold the career interceptions record for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
I was a first round pick, No. 25 overall, in 1982.
I played for four NFL franchises.

Mystery Player 3
I was a Spartan.
I played for the Bills on two different occasions during my career.
All told, I spent six seasons with the Bills.
I also played for the Miami Dolphins.

Mystery Player 4
I attended LSU.
My middle name is Yance.
I spent two seasons with the Bills.
During my stint with the Bills I was a victim of a carjacking.

EXTRA CREDIT
By now you should be able to easily figure out what all four of these players have in common (aside from the obvious stuff like, male, played football...). There is, however, a fifth player in Bills history who has the same thing in common with these players. Who is he?

Once more then one answer is found the pattern is a little obvious.

My guess is that I’ll mention it and you’ll tell me that he doesn’t count.

It was pretty hard to find 4 clues for some of these guys.

Dude...

Come on – need more hints for #3. This was/is tough this week. I didn’t even come close to getting one correct.

I feel dumb.

by krytime on Apr 14, 2009 12:39 PM EDT reply actions

well by now you should have his last name. What more do you need?

Whoops – I didn’t see that. I try to avoid the comments until I think I’m close to getting the answers..

by krytime on Apr 14, 2009 2:35 PM EDT up reply actions

When am I allowed to give all of the answers?

Not this week. Thank God you were never a teacher of mine. I’d have never passed a test…

Put a few perogies on my desk and I would have given you an A.

Gotta love Maiden!

Bruce Dickinson is great. I always loved the Iron maiden art. They have some of the best covers ever.

Dickinson is easily one of the best lead men of metal ever… just about the only one thats better than him is Rob Halford.

by CanadianBillsFan on Apr 14, 2009 10:32 PM EDT up reply actions

Well

They’re no Rush, but awesome nonetheless

by Zumone on Apr 14, 2009 7:14 PM EDT up reply actions

Never been the biggest Rush fan, I mean their good, REALLY good, and their drummer is AMAZING live, but I’ve always leaned more towards 70’s and 80’s metal.

by CanadianBillsFan on Apr 14, 2009 10:29 PM EDT up reply actions

MP1 is J.D. Hill.
MP2 is Rod Hill.
MP3 is Ray Hill.
MP4 is Raion Hill.
XC is Ike Hill.

The one you “forgot” was John Hill, a DT from Duke University drafted in 1975 (Round 12 maybe?). He never played a game for the Bills, so I will understand if he’s dq’ed.
