I bet the Patriots loved the past week’s day-by-day calendar trivia
Every year my wife buys me the New England Patriots day-by-day calendar with facts and trivia about my favorite National Football League team. This past week was a good one:
May 18:
Q: Against which team did Adam Vinatieri kick 5 field goals in a game in 2004?
A: Buffalo.
May 19
Through 2004, Adam Vinatieri had made 17 game-winning kicks in his career, including the field golas that won won Super Bowls XXXVI and XXXVIII.
May 24
Adam Vinatieri’s 93.9 percent success rate on field-goal tries in 2004 (31 of 33) led the NFL and set a Patriots’ season record.
That Vinatieri dude sounds like a really special player. May we never let him go! At least not to a rival with a high-scoring offense and a dramatically improving defense…
