Under the helmet

Throughout the season, we conducted offbeat interviews with players regarding a wide variety of on the field and off the field topics.  The following are some of the best responses to our queries.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE VIDEO GAME GROWING UP?
ANDRÉ DAVIS - The original Mario Brothers. I used to spend hours playing that game. I didn't have all the codes and secrets at the beginning. I played it the old-fashioned way.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MATERIAL POSSESSION?LOGAN MANKINS - That's a tough one. Probably my belt buckle from the biggest roping event that I won. They give it out to the first place team. I won it when I was 16 years old.

MATT CASSEL - My shoes. I have to wear them everyday. I need something that is comfortable, but at the same time looks good.

THIS IS YOUR FIRST YEAR WITH THE PATRIOTS. WHAT MAKES THE ORGANIZATION SO SUCCESSFUL?TIM DWIGHT - It's the unity with guys depending on each other and being close. There is not a lot of animosity in the locker room. The players here just want to win.

MIKE WRIGHT - I think everyone has a common goal and that is to be the best they can be. Collectively that comes together as being a great team. Everyone does their part and job and that is what makes this organization so great.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CONCERT THAT YOU HAVE ATTENDED?ARTRELL HAWKINS - A Michael Jackson concert in Pittsburgh in 1988. I was in eighth grade. We sent in for tickets and when we got them back we had third row in the center. My brother,my sister,my cousin and I all got a chance to go on stage and dance during the concert.

WHAT WAS YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT IN SPORTS?ELLIS HOBBS - It happened last year.We had just beaten Kansas State, and I was about to go hug my mom. I still had my cleats on and I didn't know the surface was concrete. I slipped and fell in front of everybody. That was an embarrassing moment.

JAMES SANDERS - I was a receiver in sixth grade playing Pop Warner football. I ran a post route and as soon as I caught the ball I ran into the goalpost. It was a passing league so we had no pads on. I split my head open and had to get 15 stitches.

WHAT IS SOMETHING DIFFICULT ABOUT YOU THAT YOUR WIFE HAS TO PUT UP WITH?CHAD BROWN - I'm pretty good around the house. I don't leave my underwear hanging around, so I'm doing okay.
