Pats Sure Do Have Some Odd Alums Still Floating Around

Remember Rob Gattrell?
You do not, you liar!
Anyway ...

Gatrell, who is 29, gained notoriety his rookie year, 2000, when he was a member of the New England Patriots' travel squad [that should be TAXI squad ... these days known as the practice squad] and reports surfaced that coach Bill Belichick paid him $200 to start a fight with defensive back Lawyer Milloy during a New England practice.
Several Patriots credited the fight, which turned into a massive brawl involving 30 players, for getting them emotionally ready to beat the Cincinnati Bengals in a late November game.
Belichick and Gatrell denied the deal, but it was reported in dozens of major newspapers.

THESE days, Rob has just joined the Utah Blaze (Arena League, i guess).
