Yep, these are getting too easy and there are way too many about Vinatieri.

 

[Alk]

Another easy one...

Where did the Patriots play their home games in their inaugural season of 1960?

 

[PromisedLand]

BU's Nickerson Field.

BU's Nickerson Field.

Yep, I'll be back on monday with a new question. Hopefully it will be a little tougher and won't involve ******** Vinatieri.

 

[Patriotic]

At that time, I was still calling it Braves Field.

What other professional football team played their home games at Nickerson Field?

That would be the Boston Braves, I believe.

 

[PromisedLand]

That would be the Boston Braves, I believe.

Yes, but they had already moved to Milwaukee in 1954, thence to Atlanta.

What Patriots' player entered Super Bowl XXXIX with the most preseason experience?

Please tell me you mean "post-season". If so, I'll guess Chad Brown. Or possibly Hank Poteat.

Whoops, yeah it's postseason. I guess I still stuck in preseason mode. And it's not Chad or Hank.

I think it was either Billy Kilmer or Houston Antwine. But didn't Kilmer come from the raiders? I think they got Antwine from a division rival. That was so long ago. They were just building their team with holovak back then.

I remember as a kid watching carl garrett - he was pretty good , but I think he had drug problems, if I recall. kinda like duane thomas - remember that dude?

by the way huskeralk, your avatar cracks me up almost every time I see it.
that was such a hysterical movie!

"I feel like I'm taking crazy pills - hasn't anyone else noticed that all of his looks are the same look. I invented the piano key necktie, that was was me!
what has derek zoolander ever done? nothing! NOTHING ! "

If you watched the whole movie, that point in the movie is really terrific acting by Will Ferrell - I thought he was just great.

by the way - what does huskeralk mean?

OK - NAME, IN ORDER OF THEIR TENURES, THE FIVE GREATEST PATRIOTS COACHES, EACH OF WHO CAME AND CREATED A WINNING ATMOSPHERE, AND WHO NOW ARE THE TOP FIVE IN WINS - HINT: THERE IS ONE FOR EACH DECADE

 

[dryheat44]

It was Houson Antwine.

Houston Antwine played for the Houston Oilers? That's great.

 

[SamBam39]

Off the top of my head, but not n order

Holovak
Fairbanks
Berry
Belichick

Parcells or Carroll?

Very good NEM !
You almost had them all in order too.

60's-Mike Holovak
70's-Chuck Fairbanks
80's-Raymond Berry
90's-Bill Parcells
00's-Bill Belichick

These 5 coaches were clearly the elite in all pats history and were the only ones to reach 30 wins (including playoff wins) - and each of them created a winning team for the pats that did well for some time. Of course, BB is now at the top of the heap in wins and should blow everybody away now.
