PrintIt's Tuesday morning, and that means it's Buffalo Bills trivia time here at Rumblings. In honor of the New York Mets taking two out of three from the Evil Empire that is the Yankees, I will... well, I couldn't think of anyway to parlay that into something special but I wanted to get that in somewhere. As usual, please do not cheat; if you feel the need to, save your answers and don't ruin it for the ones that want to do it honestly. Also, I will be using former Buffalo players and or coaches this year and occasionally I will screw up put in a false clue. Good luck.

Is mystery Bill number 2
Cookie Gilchrist?
The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun
#2
is wray carlton

Meh I chose the wrong half of the backfield
Not bad for a guy who wasn’t born till the 80’s lol.

Gilchrist a good guess, except he didn’t go to college. Paul Brown (Browns) created a stir back then signing Cookie out of high school. Under pressure from NFL, Brown had Cookie leave training camp. Cookie went to Canada and the rest, as they say, is history.

He was a beast!
And he was a damn nice guy too. I got to meet him. We recruited him to speak at the Bishop Timon Father and Son Sports Dinner in 1963. He spent a lot of time talking to anyone that wanted to spend some time with him. One of my fondest memories as a Bills fan.

could have really messed with us, in that, Cookie’s real first name is Carlton!

Interesting Video
In addition to his running prowess , Cookie was quite the blocker.

if you haven't seen it
here’s some film of ’64 championship game ( was there). Of note, 3:29 is “the hit” and 3:55 shows some Cookie power.
