Five Facts about the New England Patriots:
·
With
his last second field goals to win both Super Bowl XXXVI and Super
Bowl XXXVIII, Adam Vinatieri became the first player to be the
deciding factor in two different Super Bowl victories.
·
Patriots
quarterback Tom Brady was drafted in the 18th round of the Major
League Baseball Draft by the Montreal Expos in 1995.
·
When
the Patriots drafted Irving Fryar with the number one overall pick
in the 1984 NFL Draft, he became the first wide receiver ever
drafted number one overall.
·
On
January 1, 2006 in the regular season finale against the Dolphins,
New England Patriots backup Quarterback Doug Flutie successfully
drop kicked the ball for an extra point. While still a legal
scoring play, the drop kick had not been used in a game since
1941.
·
At
one time, the Patriots were the only team in the league who had a
picture of a football as part of their helmet logo.
Now
about the cache: Week
6: Good old fashion geocache. I decided it was time for a kid
friendly cache, loaded with kid tradables and room for TB. No evil
tricks this time, just a little camo. Muggles should not be a
problem. The shortest path to gz may not be the best path!
Don’t forget to keep track of your playbook for the
series. Have fun!
