It's Patriots Day in Boston. That means a lot of stuff is happening. The Red Sox play morning baseball and the Boston Marathon takes place. And it's usually cold outside. Never the less, it is a traditional day celebrated throughout New England.
It also means we will do New England Patriots trivia on Wiki-Pete-ia on the Shemon and Sheppard Show on ESPN Southwest Florida.
For those of you who are new to the show, we test Pete's trivia (and trivial) knowledge during Wiki-Pete-ia every weekday at 4:45ish for prizes. Just be lucky caller number 9 at 239-337-ESPN. That's 239-337-3776. If you are not lucky enough to get through, then play at home or at work with your friends with the questions and answers posted below!
For those of you NOT new to the show, you know going up against Pete in Patriots trivia may be difficult. That's in his wheelhouse for sure. I've tried to make his questions more difficult. But, hey, if you're caller number 9 you win no matter what. So give it a shot and help celebrate Patriots Day in Boston during Wiki-Pete-ia today on the Shemon and Sheppard Show.
Good luck to you. I'll be rooting for you to win!
