Tuesday Morning Bills Trivia - 4/27

PrintLast week we started up the TMBT again with a twist. Last week, I used prospective draftees for the Bills. This week, it is back to the norm.
In case you are new around here, I will spell out the way this works. I will post up four "Mystery Players" and give you four clues as to their identity. Sometimes I sneak in a false clue, because that is a good way to cover up a screw up. You are tasked with trying to figure out whom the players are. All players have one thing in common: they played and/or coached for the Buffalo Bills. You then post you guesses in the comments section.
Feel free to try and look up facts and cheat, but all I ask is this: If you do feel the need to cheat, please do not post your ill-begotten answers in the comments section. Give others the chance to figure them out honestly. It really annoys me to see all the answers filled out early by somebody who cheated. Cheat if you must, just hold off on posting your answer. On with the show.
Mystery Player #1
- I am currently a practicing attorney.
- I played quarterback under Marv Levy.
- I wore jersey number 10.
- I was drafted in the 13th round.
Mystery Player #2
- I won AFL rookie of the year.
- I attended Villanova.
- I am a member of the College Football Hall Of Fame.
- I am currently the head coach for a Collegiate football team.
Mystery Player #3
- I am a member of the Washington State University Hall of Fame.
- I am currently the director of alumni relations for WSU.
- I was involved in one of the most memorable plays in Buffalo Bills history.
- I ended my career with the same team I started it with.
Mystery Player #4
- I attended ISU.
- I was drafted n the 14th round by the Bills.
- I played in the USFL for the Tampa Bay Bandits.
- I wore jersey number 52.

Absolute guesses, so I don't expect any of them to be right, but here goes.
1. Frank Reich
2. Butch Byrd
3. Steve Tasker
4. Mike Stratton
The more I see, the less I know.

Frank Reich is currently the quarterbacks coach of the Indianapolis Colts, so I’m fairly certain that guess is wrong.
These ones were good, Eric. I know none of them.

Dan Darraugh is number one ? Haven’t played this before—can you guess on at a time ?

You can guess as many as you want, provided you’re guessing. :)

Darraugh used to work for Hodgson Russ as an environmental attorney in the 80’s so I assume he’s not too old to still be.

3. Tasker started his career in Houston and ended in Buffalo.

If it is billy Joe, should have used a bunions clue—remember he had bunions ?
by radan on Apr 27, 2010 8:46 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Krakau—pronounced " kroaker" is a good guess. I think he did wear 52.

#4
only LB I can think of that played for the Bills, and in the Useless, was Bentley…
- just a guess, Elbert Dubinion…
- has to go back way before Levy and the Bills, pick in the 13 rd says so :-).. Len Dawson?
- I have no clue
#3 Pat Toomey ?
only guessing based on “play” clue
The answer to question 1 has to be Dan Darragh. I think he played under Levy in college at William & Mary. Not to mention he’s also wearing #10 on his 1970 Topps card.
#3
Keith Lincoln- play was Stratton’s hit in AFL Championship game- I was there.

Had a feeling that was the play you were refering too. I just didn’t know the name of the guy that Stratton hit.

back in the day before "field mics"
and “live”, it sounded like what you hear today on a replay.

correct guesses
1 – Dan Darragh
2 – Billy Joe
4 – Merv Krakau
number 3 is still out there
No weekend spent pantsless is a wasted weekend.
AVP is QB coach in Tampa now, too.

OK. I googled it, but to be honest I never heard of the guy. I suck at trivia anyway, but it’s been a slow morning so far so I thought I’d give it a go.
If Darwin was right, Mike Tyson would have evolved. - Ted Nugent.
Never heard of the “Hit heard around the World” ? If you can find a clip of that hit you will remember his name.

Aahh
I saw that Eric said #3 was still out there after that so I thought that answer was wrong. I still plan on checking it out later when I get home. I can’t look at videos at work due to the “computer Nazis.” But big hits are my favorite part of the game. Used to play ILB way back in the day.
