I remember watching as a kid.Marcus Dupree (born May 22, 1964) was a top prospect running back, whom the old Boston Breakers of the USFL tried to land. They did, but only after they moved to New Orleans; something about having trouble getting an agreement to play in one of the larger local stadiums...never heard that one before...but they were pretty good their one season here ('83)
If I recall correctly the Breakers were pretty good but very short-lived (only one or two years) due to their losing so much money.Wow, I didn't even realize that Boston had a USFL team. I remember watching as a kid.
Thanks for the history lesson. I thought I was going senile, thinking that I could have sworn Dupree played in New England for at least one season, and (duh) finding zero on Dupree with the Pats.Marcus Dupree (born May 22, 1964) was a top prospect running back, whom the old Boston Breakers of the USFL tried to land.

So Scar is the answer to the question, "Who was the Pats head coach for all of their wins in '92, and the last two wins before James Busch Orthwein's assignment here by the league (purchase) and makeover?"On a side note, both wins that season came when MacPherson was hospitalized, and Dante Scarnecchia took over head coaching duties.
Now THAT play is up there in the top ten plays in the history of the team. I know Troy's lateral was the key, but Antwan finished. I could sit and watch it over and over all day...In the AFCCG against Pittsburgh he took the lateral from Troy Brown following a blocked field goal attempt 49 yards for a touchdown, which put the Patriots up 21-3 midway through the third quarter.
We had arrived in New Orleans for the Super Bowl, and the players were crowded up at the front desk to check into their rooms at the team's hotel, all except for Julius Adams, who calmly stood in the back of the lobby behind everybody.
