Bill from NYC

People get ready There's a train a-coming You don't need no ticket You just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesels humming Don't need no ticket You just thank the Lord.

If I recall, I saw them in the late 70s at a big club in Nassau County called "My Father's Place." This club recently re-opened. For some reason I cannot remember what year it was.

Yes but when they split for a while, Weir was in a group called "Kingfish" and they were great. Dave Torbet (from the New Riders) played bass and was a great singer. Bob played rhythm, the band was sensational.

I disagree but that's what makes the world go 'round. Was this in 89? I think that Jerry was at his best in 1989, to include the show at Rich Stadium.

Sure, gotcha.

Oh I remember it well. Nick Saban was the coach and was screaming for Brees. Instead they landed Dante Culpepper who he cut mid-season.

I have a picture Pinned to my wall, An image of you and me and we're laughing' We're loving it all. But look at our life now, All tattered and torn, We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn. Hold me now, Whoa warm my heart, Stay with me, Let loving start, Let loving start.

It is hard to believe almost anything this close to the draft.

Do you think that pandering to the anti-semites in congress hurt him to any extent. I suspect that this turned off a sizeable amount of Jewish voters.

I agree with all except the last sentence. How could they not?

Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light, Never seen such a beautiful sight. See love glowing on us every night, I know forever we'll be doing it.

That was an amazing article John. Those were some crazy compliments in the end as well. Remember, Tua came to Alabama because he felt like the exposure might get him a better contract so he could build a church for his dad, who is a minister. Saban, not the most affectionate type, gets misty eyed just talking about Tua. One time Tua actually put his arm around Saban who looked uncomfortable but didn't move away lol.

I couldn't open it. I have a feeling that this kid might be a fairly decent player for the Crimson Tide...….

Yes he was. He was also a RT (as opposed to McKinnie being a LT) who had weight issues and a chronic ankle problem. When you weigh 360 or more pounds (which I think MW did despite his listed weight), it is hard to fix a bad ankle. I was screaming for months for the Bills to draft McKinnie. I am not supposed to know more than the Bills GM, scouting staff, and coaches. I am just so happy that times have changed.

Bob, the thing is that the 2006 draft was absolutely loaded with talent, and at positions of need for the Bills. Whitner was an ok player. He also cost the Bills approx. 36 million real cap dollars. How many games did he win for us? Whitner doesn't belong on the list because of the title of the thread, but an undersized "good" safety should not be drafted at #8. In that sense, picking Whitner was stupid and amateurish. They lucked into Kyle Williams in the 5th. Other than that the entire draft was a disgrace. Jmo.

One toke over the line sweet Jesus, One toke over the line, Sittin' downtown in a railway station, One toke over the line. Waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary, Hopin' that the train is on time. Sittin' downtown in a railway station, One toke over the line.

Good point and let me add that Winston and BB would never, ever get along imo. Did you see Winston on that pre-season series? He was so freaking annoying I had to turn it off. I don't think that BB would, or even could put up with Winston and his endless motor mouth under any conditions.

When lightning strikes you to the bone, You turn around, you're all alone. By the time you hear that siren sound, Then your soul is in the lost and found, Forever, Forever, Freedom Rider.

Not bad but I expect to see Anfernee Jennings go much earlier than late 4th. Otherwise, I like it!!!

You are 100% right, but they were horrible draft picks and a surprising number of posters here knew it from day 1.

No Whitner?

The PICK was up there with the worst when you consider who they passed on. McKelvin was a fairly good player after 3 or 4 years. I have said over and over, a player can be "good" and still be a horrible draft selection. When your OL sucks and you pass on Branden Albert to take a so-so corner, or even one who is "good," you are hurting your football team. A strong case could be made that Donte Whitner was "good." Now, let's count the games that he won for us. Another great example of good player/bad pick. Whaley gave away the store for Sammy, who was "good." A case could be made for VERY good (I btw am in that camp). The thing is, we had huge QB issues, and there was at least one other top receiver we could have stayed put and drafted, along with a boat load of other tremendous players. This is what makes him a bad pick imo.

You Can dress in pink and blue just like a child And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile We'll be there in just a while If you follow me Me babe, steppin' out Into the night Into the light You babe, steppin' out Into the night Into the light
