In an interview on ESPN radio Sunday night, Fitzpatrick jokingly commented that he hoped people would begin to learn his name now instead of just calling him “Harvard boy.” Although the FOX announcing team of Curt Menefee and J.C Pearson couldn’t immediately get his name straight—introducing him to the national TV audience as Ryan Patrick and then later referring to him as Brian Fitzpatrick—it’s safe to say that after the numbers he put up against...
