OK, it's the offseason.
If you've ever seen Being John Malkovich (one of the trippiest films ever made), you'll get the idea here.
A stranger comes up to you, and makes you the following offer: for the price of $1, your consciousness gets to spend an entire Patriots game in the head of any one Patriot player or coach, past or present. You do not get to control actions (i.e., if you become Belichick, you don't need to know how to coach), but you will get to experience the game exactly as the player does (you'll feel hits, you'll "hear" his thoughts, etc.).
At the end of the game, your body and consciousness will be restored, and you'll wake up in bed the next morning.* You'll never be able to prove it happened, but you'll remmeber it for the rest of your life.
So: whose body do you inhabit, and which game?
*In the movie, of course, people are dumped off along a roadside in the middle of New Jersey. But that seems cruel and unusual punishment.
