BringBackFergy Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Using the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" theory (i.e. you can name any actor/actress and in six steps (six movies) come back to Kevin Bacon), I believe the same holds true for Ryan Fitzpatrick. Here goes: Peyton Hillis Peyton Hillis was drafted by the Broncos in 2008 and played with QB Jay Cutler Jay Cutler went on to play with the Bears in 2012 and played with Brandon Marshall Brandon Marshall was traded to the Bears from Miami where he played with Richie Incognito Richie Incognito played for the Bills in 2009 and was acquired by the Dolphins in 2010 Ryan Fitzpatrick played with Richie Incognito in 2009 for the Bills So you see gentlemen...everything comes back to Ryan Fitzpatrick Go ahead...throw out a name. I dare ya. Edited March 20, 2013 by BringBackFergy

I dare ya. LOL. Considering the way players move around in today's NFL, i'm sure the same holds true for 99% of the players in the league.
BringBackFergy Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 Any time frame requirements for the name? Have to be within the last 15 years LOL. Considering the way players move around in today's NFL, i'm sure the same holds true for 99% of the players in the league. Maybeeeeeeee, maybe not. But the idea of all players sourcing back to Fitz just sounds comical. Shane Falco - go! LOL Sammy Baugh. Ouch, this could take awhile
stevestojan Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Shane Falco - go! Shane Falco, played by Keanu Reeves in The Replacements. Replacements also starred Gene Hackman, as coach McGinty. Hackman played Lex Luthor in Superman 2, which Marlon Brando was cast as Supermans dad. Brando went to Shattuck St Mary's academy, as did Buffalo Sabre Drew Stafford. I do not want Drew Stafford to play QB for the Bills, nor did I want Ryan Fitzpatrick. Does that count?

I think the correct first move was funneling it through shane falco playing college ball at (the) ohio state though.
llyolf Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Golden Tate went to college at Notre Dame Bills 1st pick in 1994 was Jeff Burris who went to Notre Dame Jeff Burris played for the Bengals (and the Bills) Ryan fitzpatrick played for both the Bengals and Bills. it's only 4 degrees... but I tried. oh and Golden Tate was born in Tennessee where Ryan Fitzpatrick now is a QB. intially GT was drafted for baseball by the Arizona Diamondbacks, but he chose football.... Arizona is where RFP calls home. Edited March 20, 2013 by llyolf
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Anyone want to try Golden Tate?? Golden Tate plays with Marshawn Lynch, who played with Ryan Fitzpatrick. I'd actually be shocked if any NFL player can't be connected to any other NFL player in 3 steps or fewer, nevermind 6.
metzelaars_lives Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Golden Tate plays with Marshawn Lynch, who played with Ryan Fitzpatrick. I'd actually be shocked if any NFL player can't be connected to any other NFL player in 3 steps or fewer, nevermind 6. Good thread during a down time of the offseason, but yes, you are right.

BillsWatch Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 ill take it. I think the correct first move was funneling it through shane falco playing college ball at (the) ohio state though. I actually connected Falco's actor connecting via Dean Cain who played for the Bills but whatever works.
thebandit27 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 OK smarty pants...try Cam Newton Easy: Cam Newton played in Carolina with Dwan Edwards Dwan Edwards played in Buffalo with Fitzy
BringBackFergy Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 Easy: Cam Newton played in Carolina with Dwan Edwards Dwan Edwards played in Buffalo with Fitzy Who asked you?? :censored: OK Bandit Pants - try this: Eli Manning
