  1. You say that once knew for sure But now you're walkin' into shore to wonder* The more you learn the less you know The more you move the more you go to nowhere* You ask a bird as she flies by Just where she's at she says, where the wind blows*
  2. I can, maybe even as many as 6. Jmo.
  3. Jose Canseco gained 45 pounds, kept a 32 waist, and got faster. I was at a game where he didn't get around on a pitch and got under it. The RF barely moved because it looked and sounded like a pop fly. The ball wound up being a mile high and over the right field wall in Yankee Stadium.
  4. If you call I'll be right with you, You and I should stay together. Take this love I long to give you, I'll be at your side forever. Call me. Don't be afraid you can, call me. Maybe it's late but just, call me, Tell me and I'll be around.
  5. I said she got the kind of lovin,' Kissin' and huggin.' She is mellow, Glad that I'm her fellow and I know, that she knocks me off my feet, Have mercy on me!
  6. Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you, I wonder if you know, I wonder if you think about me once upon a time, in your wildest dreams.
  7. Taylor made Carson and Johnson better players. He made everybody a better player. The man was like a machine. At times he was allowed by Parcells and Bellichick to roam the field and do anything he wanted. Remember, the OP is about teams. Btw, I am not making any all knowing proclamations. This is all jmo and a fun topic for conversation. PS: There were a couple of Dallas defenses that I thought were better than the Giants.
  8. I don't disagree but that was not one of the teams that I listed.
  9. The Oakland As and the Red Sox might have had a player or 2 on roids, no?
  10. Well, I don't think that the Giant defensive unit was as talented or as balanced as certain others, for instance; the Championship Bears, The Steel Curtain, or even the Championship Bucs. I am NOT dissing the Giants defense either. They were certainly the best coached unit perhaps ever. All I am saying is that I am not so sure how they would have measured up without LT. The man was THAT good.
  11. Obviously the Giant defenses were talented. I do however think that without Taylor, they were just another "very good" defense. Taylor was off the charts great. Tony Dorsett said he used to wake up in the middle of the night seeing visions of Taylor coming at him. I met LT once in unusual circumstances and am 100% sure he was both crazy and dangerous. That said, I never saw a better defensive player, not even Bruce.
  12. I have not seen enough of him to offer a pertinent opinion but he sure did tear Alabama apart.
  13. I liken Henry to Campbell in terms of strength and his stiff arm, not in terms of speed. When Earl entered the league, he ran a 100 yard dash in 10 seconds or less. His career was cut short by injuries and overuse. He ran as well as anyone I ever saw but again, Henry has similar power and actually weighs 15 or so pounds more. Its a dream whereas Henry is a southerner. It would probably take a huge contract to get him up here but in a season like this, Bills Fans are allowed to dream. :)
  14. The wind in the willows played "Tea For Two," The sky was yellow and the sun was blue. Strangers stopping strangers, just to shake their hand. Everybody's playing, in the Heart of Gold Band, Heart of Gold Band.
  15. Derrick is a tremendous player and would become a fan favorite in about 15 seconds. He is also a great kid. When he was at the draft combines he took time out to visit terminally ill children in a hospital. Derrick is probably the most punishing player in football today. I watched every down of his college career and I know all about this kid. He doesn't have THE quickest start but the Bills have a strong OL. After he gets a few steps I have seen players not try all that hard to tackle him. His stiff arm is reminiscent to that of Earl Campbell or even Jim Brown. He is a perfect fit for this team. With Derrick and one of these great wide receivers coming out in the 2020 draft, the Bills would be a Super Bowl contender, if not favorite. Just my long overdue opinion.
  16. In the 20 plus years I have been on this board, we have blamed the offensive woes (which were a virtual constant) on the "scheme." This included times when there was no blocking, and/or a terrible quarterback. At this point we have dramatically improved. Allen has all the potential in the world and the OL is good. That said, the team needs at least 1 receiver and a big power back. The Bills have every opportunity to be great and they are already very good. Brady has thrived with only decent receivers, (but probably will not for much, if any longer). Allen, at least at this stage of his career, needs better wideouts and there will be an abundance of them in the 2020 draft. Bottom line? Daboll is not the problem imo. He is a good football man.
  17. And it just a box of rain, I don't know who put it there. Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare. And its, just a box of rain, or a ribbon for your hair. Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time, to be there.
  18. In December, I stayed a week at the Hyatt Regency Convention Center in Denver. Is that where you will be?
  19. Brown eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean, Sound of the thunder with the rain coming down, And it looks like the old mans, getting on.
  20. May God grant you a full and speedy recovery.
  21. Right outside this, lazy summer home. You ain't got time to call your, soul a critic no. Right outside the lazy gate, of winter's summer home, Wondering where the nut-thatchers winters, Wings a mile long, Will carry, the blues, away.
  22. When you dance do your senses tingle then take a chance? In a trance, while the lonely mingle with circumstance? I got something to tell you, you made it show Let me come over, I know you know When you dance, ooh ooh, I can really love
  23. Summertime, and the livin's easyBradley's on the microphone with Ras M.G.All people in the dance will agree That we're well-qualified to represent the L.B.C.And me and Louie, we gon' run to the partyDance to the rhythm, it gets harder(And we can do it like this, in the place to be)
  24. I am probably the biggest fan of Tua on this board. Trent Dilfer called him the smartest QB who ever came to his camp. The kid is extremely accurate and can make every throw. I sincerely doubt that he will ever get in trouble. Just an absolute great person and player. That said, the Bills should not select him in the first round. I am still of the opinion that our receiving corps is not so threatening. I cannot say enough how many top receivers are coming out in 2020. Tall receivers, absolute speedsters, guys with great hands.....everybody. Josh Allen needs weapons and he has the arm to reach any of these kids. For the first time in more years than I can remember, I am hoping for a 1st Round wide receiver. It feels strange to even type this.
  25. I grew up in a large neighborhood in Queens, NY. In the entire community, I only knew of 3 or 4 kids whose parents were divorced. Today, divorced parents are more common than married couples. This article seemed to reference "Donna Reed Show" or "Father Known Best (imaginary) families. In SOME cases, if parents showed more concern for their children and less self indulgence, perhaps the kids (if not the entire family) would be better off. In any case, I for one believe the old adage "you can only be as happy as your saddest child." At least it applies to me.
