Patriots trivia

Okay, another one straight from the calendar.

Who was the longest-tenured Patriots' players on the 2004 squad?

Troy Brown seems too obvious, but I can't think of anybody else whom it could be.

That's right, it was a pretty easy one.

Off the top of my head:

Kevin Faulk
Dan Klecko
Ryan Claridge
Dan Graham
Martin Gramatica
Gene Mruczkowski

You hit most of them. Here's a few more on my list: Corey Bramlet, Ellis Hobbs, Bam Childress, Ty Warren.

Ellis Hobbs' uncle played defensive end briefly for the Redskins/Dolphins. Ty Warren's uncle Curtis ****ey got drafted in the first round as a RB by the Baltimore Colts a while back. Bam Childress is Champ Bailey's cousin, go figure.

This answer feels somehow familiar...

Actually, I believe you're correct.

My contribution: Who was the first player to sign with the Boston Patriots?

Well I am right according to Mrs. B, but I can't believe NEM made one that easy.

"The Patriots first training camp opened on July 4, 1960 at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Over 350 prospects attended that inaugural camp. In 1976, the Patriots relocated their camp to Bryant College in Smithfield, R.I., summer home to the Patriots for the past 26 years."

Still waiting for the other shoe to drop on this one.

The Patriots have practices at many different facilities over the years, can anyone remember where they first had practice sessions.....way back in the beginning years.? I do. And it is hard to believe.

All right NEM I've had enough! It can't be the place everybody knows they practiced for 16 years.:enranged:

I'm gonna guess the Peter Fuller Cadillac showroom on Comm. Ave.:bricks:

 

[RayClay]

I didnt say training camp....I said PRACTICE FIELD...and the answer is EAST BOSTON....You could drive down the lramp towards the airport after coming out of the tunnel and see them on the field practicing.

You said "first had practice sessions". There are certainly practice sessions during training camp. BEFORE the season. I WIN!!!!!!

Go UMASS!!! Travis Ford, the next Calipari, (Saint John), or just a hick from Kentucky?:rocker:

Curtis Martin?

 

[patchick]

I'll say umass amherst. I'm sure I'm way off.

My dad taught at UMass. I remember him talking about stepping into an elevator one summer day and doing a double take because the elevator was already jammed full...with maybe two guys. Very, very big guys. Yep, the Patriots trained there.

 

[Alk]

Curtis Martin?

Nope, maybe if he would have stayed with the Patriots.

Most 100 Yard Games?

Jim Nance. Big number 35 . . . not the sportscaster.

I went to UMass and knew they trained there. I was surprised to find they started in 1960, though.

I'll say Nance too.

What Patriot tight end's name evokes Shakespeare and Cigars?

Okay, here's another one since I won't be around my calendar tomorrow.

When the Patriots defeated Philadelphia in Super Bowl XXXIX, it was their ninth consecutive postseason win. What NFL team's record did they equal?
