  1. Nothing wrong with a little fuzzy Kiwi....

     

    And for those ignorant enough to chide the original poster.......The US HAS bailed out the Australian banks. Mr Bernanke refused to give specific details of the countries and amounts, but here is a ditty from the WSJ.

     

    They ALL took our money

    a lot of the aig bailout money went directly to foreign institutions. but hey we're not allowed to know how much and to whom. nice govt we've got here in america. NOT

  2. Agreed.

     

    And politics should not get in the way with atleast 2 other quality WR's being eligible (Rice and Carter).

     

    So it's crowded with WR's. So what?

     

    All 3 should go, and Reed should be right there with them.

    reed never had anyone near moss' caliber to draw attention away. you got moss on your team, at best your #2, period. in most cases reed was #1.

  3. Ted Washington. As great as Bruce was Mount Washington made every defense he ever played on that much better. Anchored Jauron's 13-3 season with the bears. Anchored the Patriots 04 superbowl team. Top Tier Bills defense of the late 90's till deemed too fat for Gregg Williams, go figure Sedric Ellis is pretty much a pile of goo, but ehh whatver.

     

     

    Offensively Jim Kelly. There's no other logical answer. He was never my favorite player, but hes worlds better than what we've had since.

    is that right? that no good POS is the reason we lost Ted? what a freaking defensive genius LOL ... he was one blown call away from losing the NFC champ game at home last week too. that rotten turd.

     

    anyway, i'd take Thurman -- a player that was a top back, receiver and blocker -- is more important than a qb. if you want to know why the offense ran well under reich too, look no further. parcells said he was the only bill that scared him in the super bowl. on defense ill go with bruuuuuce. gaurantted pressure on the qb every game is money

  4. Becker doesn't have the guitar chops of any of those guys, to be sure. (You can add Jon Herington and Wayne Krantz to that list, too.) He is a very tasteful player and he can make any solo sound like it belongs in a Steely Dan song. Walter is a much better bass player than he is a guitarist (check out his 2nd solos album, Circus Money). But he has become a respectable guitar player. He solos much more in concert now, and he seems to be better every time I see them.

     

    Denny Dias may be the most underrated guitarist ever. But he has a jazz sound, not really a rock guitarist.

    Dean, you sound like a player. did you play in any buffalo bands?

  5. I hope it happens too, but I wouldn't bet on it. To many first year ballot players this year that will get in ahead of him: Emmitt, Rice, Tim Brown, possibly Shannon Sharpe on his second year. Plus you have someone like Chris Carter who is also waiting to get in. Hopefully in the voter's mind, Reed tops carter.

    othet than rice, i wouldnt take any of those guys ahead of reed on my team

  6. In defense of Steely Dan (the band not the TSW poster) they aren't a rock band. To judge them by rock standards is ridiculous. They are stylistically closer to Duke Ellington than the Rolling Stones. Even if you don't care for musical proficiency (an odd thought I have to say) you might want to try to appreciate their compositions, arrangements and lyrics. There are very few who in popular music who can touch Donald and Walt when it comes to composing and arranging.

     

    They have had an influence on rock (for better or worse) because many, if not most, trained musicians have a great deal of respect for Steely Dan.

    steely dan loved guitar and brought out the best in many a great studio musician. even becker's solos were quite good

  7. heck, i'll put Gordie Johnson ahead of alex when it comes to Canadian guitar players (and that's a short list to begin with). and i knew Gordo when he was a mere bass player standing next to a certain tuba player in a high school band. not a big fan of his new stuff, but i'll tell you his version of "Come Back Baby" absolutely blew my socks off.

    how Keith Richards doesn't rate on anyone's list, well that's up for debate among the tone deaf ....

     

    as for my Johnny Cash reference, sorry, was in a good mood grooving to Mr. Cash that night. ...

     

    jw

    who's gordie johnson?

  8. i dont see any case why we need to waste a mid to late round pick on a qb when we have sooooo many needs to fill. a qb taken outside the initial rounds is by definition a long shot and a project. we have too much of that already. let's fill out the team on both sides and THEN see what a QB can do
