2007 Ultimate Patsy Contest
Ultimate Patsy
Lots of New England Patriots fans here, so I thought this would be kind of cool. You can win the Title of "The Ultimate Patsy of FOFC" by scoring the highest total of points in this quiz about the New England Patriots franchise.
Rules: Don't look things up. Not on the net, or in books, or anywhere else. Don't ask anybody else the answers - not your wife, your dog or your father-in-law, no one. There's no way to enforce the rules, so it's strictly an honor code thing. The idea is to test your knowledge of all things Pats, not your ability to google. ;)
All entries are do by PM to me by 11:59 EST Monday, March 12, 2007.
Don't post your answers in this thread or others will copy them.
Please do post in this thread that you've answered by PM.
