It's a trap -- but I can't see it. Why not Pete Carroll?

Edit: By the way, Husker -- I finally watched Zoolander. But that doesn't make the avatar any less scary!

It is Pete Carroll.

By the way, what did you think of Zoolander? That movie still cracks me up just thinking about it.

I enjoyed it, but I wasn't really in the mood -- chalk it up to me, not the film (oh, and I have difficulty in thinking of Ben Stiller as s-t-o-o-p-i-d).

I vaguely remember that he ran a punt back ( it may have been preseason) and spiked it before he scored. Was I dreaming or is that true ?

Six quarterbacks were selected ahead of the Patriots' Tom Brady, a two-time Super Bowl MVP, in the 2000 NFL Draft. How many of them can you name?

Giovanni Carmazzi, Spurgeon Wynn, Chris Redman, the guy who succeeded Peyton at Tennessee.

I'm not sure Bulger wasn't the year after.

Fine. Harvey White. That's right, Clemson QB Harvey White was the first player to sign with the Boston Patriots.
