Tuesday Morning Bills Trivia

by sireric on Apr 7, 2009 5:30 AM EDT in Blog Series

I was looking at the calendar today and I realized that there are only two Tuesdays before the draft. I know that I can't wait. I'm pretty sure that last week I claimed I would have something special in store for this week; however since TMBT got only eleven comments last week and some of you have been noticeably absent (I'm looking at you Kry), I think the something special will have to wait until next week.

Mystery Player 1
I was an Aggie.
Along with football, I also threw the discus and shot put for my college track team.
I played for six NFL teams during my career.
I played for the winning team of Super Bowl XXXV.

Mystery Player 2
I attended Alabama A&M.
I wore jersey number 75.
I was selected in the eleventh round of the NFL draft.
I played in two Pro Bowls.

Mystery Player 3
I coached the Harlem Hellfighters.
I attended San Diego State University.
I was the Commissioner on the UFL of New York and New Jersey.
I led the Bills in interceptions in my second year in the league.

Mystery Player 4
I attended Wabash College.
I was a third round pick in the 1982 NFL draft.
I played for four NFL franchises during my NFL career.
I was a coach on the Super Bowl XLI champions.

Extra Credit
What do these four players have in common?

Oh, and I gotta say two things, too – that extra credit is kind of… well, there are a lot of things they could have in common (male, live on Earth, played for the Bills, etc.), and these are far easier than usual. :)

I tried to go a little easier in order to keep everyone in it. There have been players left unguessed the last few weeks so I figured if I went a little easier it would spark comments.

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

must be Howard Ballard – there can’t be too many 11th round picks that made the Pro Bowl.

That should say #2 – evidently you can’t start a message with a pound sign.

Extra Credit – not sure who #3 is but all the other guys spent time with Seattle and Bflo

The rest of you go get the goods on Stan. His mom grounded him once for setting something on fire. Let's find out what that something was and then lie and say it was a puppy.

My apologies to sireric...

I’ve been busy my man. I think I virtually disappeared from this site for the last five days, and I’m playing a lot of catch up. This is the column that I need to do the most catching up on…

I’m getting killed on number three here. I’m gonna throw out the initials “DF?”
