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).
