  1. With the new picks and Brad Butler with tackle experience, I wonder if Walker makes it out of training camp. He had a decent season in 08, but is way too fat and immobile. He doesn't seem to be very athletic and probably would be more effective (or at least less lethargic looking) minus 25 pounds (maybe 35). I don't think he is worth his salary.
  2. Not if arteriosclerosis gets me first.
  3. There goes my fantasy threeway with her and Angela Lansbury.
  4. Lindsay Buckingham? The light in the loafers version of the Mac has nothing on the original. See Green, Peter. A lot of the players mentioned are not underrated but definitely overexposed. I'll go with previous poster with Mick Ronson - he was ziggy. Tom Morello and Vernon Reid as well (LC was short changed by the whole Black Rock Coalition typecasting thing - they were an explosive band - period). Others underrated and maybe unknown are Don Rich, Waylon Jennings (picker and outlaw), John Echols and later Jay Donnellan of Love. The Reverend Horton Heat Jim Heath. And, Jimmy Nolen has to be the most sampled guitarist in Hip Hop history. If you include pedal steel, then Sneaky Pete's work with effects on the first FBB Lp was epic. My fave of course has to be Steve Cropper.
  5. Its easier to regurgitate other folks thoughts. Makes you look smart. At least it works in grad school.
  6. Guys like LT and Ronnie Lott got by on reputation when past their prime. Lott was mediocre when the 9ers cut him in 1989 yet still got A list props. LT was not the same player by 88 or so, when the coke and beatings minimized his burst. Bruce was a dominant player through 1999. And consistently very good with the Skins till the end.
  7. I saw both play in their prime. Bruce had a longer and more sustained period of dominance. By Super Bowl XXV, LT was spotty in terms of an impact player. He was completely invisible in that game. I'd even say he was less an all-around force by 88 or so, a one dimensional pass-rusher. Now early in his career, he was the most dynamic defender I'd ever seen. In 81 or 82, he picked off a pass on the Gints goal line against Detroit and sprinted the distance faster than a halfback. Speed of sound fast for a man that size. That play still blows me away. When Biscuit came up in 87 for those last 7 games , I actually thought he would be more dominant than LT if that was even possible. All in all, if I were a GM, I'd take Bruce. Especially when paired with a young Ted Washington.
  8. Who own the chiefs? ownsa ownsa. he say he don't know.
  9. Other than Thurman's fumble nothing hurt the Bills more in XXVIII than Bill Brooks dropping two key third down catches in Dallas territory to kill drives. Can't forgive him. Quinn Early was my next door neighbor growing up. He was a 4.3 guy in high school. I don't remember how much burst was left by the time the Bills got him (Chargers wasted his talents early in his career). Fantastic, decent guy.
  10. If Langston and Dockery each lost 40lbs, all you would need is a center. The ends on defense are another story.
  11. Disagree. In the rock arena ain't many better. More than a time keeper - a sonic whirlwind.
  12. I would love to see the Bills sign Megan Fox.
  13. Given the anemic state of the pass rush (even with Schobel) I don't think it matters. If the offense can eliminate the big mistake and generate some sort of run game, they'll get in (at least as a wild card).
  14. Momentum is a function of velocity and mass. So if you're fat and move like ooze, its tough to build momentum.
  15. All those things you cite illustrate he's a stand-up guy, and your ability to regurgitate what is in the local press is commendable. Demonstrating excellence on the field is a lot harder than talking about it. And yes, your pee-pee will get larger when you touch it, just pull your fist out of your ass first.
  16. A couple years ago you were soliciting advice from the board on the proper courtship etiquette for your first date. I would guess your institutional memory of the Bills starts at the Todd Collins era. And, more importantly, I wonder if you finally figured out what to do with your pee-pee.
  17. I like Whitner, he's a nice player. That said, I don't get why some folks equate being vocal with being a leader. If your mouth is heard above others on the team, you better be bringing it in a major way. Otherwise, you're just Tim Mckyer.
  18. He made a catch just shy of a 1st down then jerked up the defenders face-mask while both walking back to the huddle (right in front of a side judge). Cost the niners 15.
  19. I hope to god Megan Fox repents before she's 35.
  20. I warmed to Paltrow in Ironman but she's still not a libido levitator. Plus she married a hipster with a vagina, and named her kids at the farmer's market. Way un-hot. Let me add another un-hottie: Uma Thurman. Huge rack and unusual face, but definitely not aging well. One cutie flying under the radar: Evan Rachel Wood. Great actress, salty goodness.
  21. They must have spackled her facial craters for that one.
