I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the vast majority of you guys on this board have no idea who most of Hank Jr's band members were.

[SuperJon]

I caught the tale end of it and saw Little Richard. I didn't pay attention to the others.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the vast majority of you guys on this board have no idea who most of Hank Jr's band members were.

Nope, and I'm going to guess that you haven't heard Hank Williams III's latest album.

[Sly Fox]

Hank III used to play the Stubb's BBQ next to my station in Austin. Unless this new album is great I will have to say he doesn't have anywhere near the talent of his dad or grandpa.

[El Scorcho]

It's okay. Nothing spectacular. Just a lot of trashy country/rockabilly. He certainly doesn't play in the style of Jr. or his grandfather, though. He's also in a couple of metal bands, which I haven't bothered to check out.

[Sly Fox]

He was a regular in the Austin scene for several years. I'm not sure if he still live sover there or whether he headed to Nashville.

[BJWilliams]

I SAW CHARLIE DANIELS IN THE MNF OPEN!!!

[Sly Fox]

Very nice, BJ. You probably also recognize the keyboard player from the Gecko commercials.

[BostonSoccer]

Patriots will make it 4 in 6 years!!! put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!

[A.G.]

Leave it to a soccer guy to talk about putting something in your pipe and smoking it.

[LUconn]

The pats will indeed! If they play JP Loseman every week.

[RubberMallet]

yeah seriously....i am a bills fan and the pats should be ashamed of their performance...

[BostonSoccer]

ok that just shows how much the bills suck... i admit the pats played terrible but when a team can win ugly it shows how much better we are .... find a team that can beat the pats on their best day and dont bring up those panthers ok

[SuperJon]

That's a different tune than you were singing during class today. You said the Pats sucked.

And yes, I'm just busting you because your guys pulled out a w during a crappy game and mine just sucked.

[RubberMallet]

ok that just shows how much the bills suck... i admit the pats played terrible but when a team can win ugly it shows how much better we are .... find a team that can beat the pats on their best day and dont bring up those panthers ok

that doesn't make sense....the fact that you guys didn't absolutely stomp a mudhole in us shows you are going to have problems this year...winnign ugly has never been an indicator of how great you are...

[PAmedic]

...winnign ugly has never been an indicator of how great you are...

somebody post that over on CCU's board

I'm sure they'll appreciate it. (though it couldn't be any more true)

[BostonSoccer]

A win is a win! u can moan and complain all u want about what i said, but the pats are 1-0 and ur superbowl bound panthers are 0-1 end of story!

[PeterParker]

Something to keep in mind is that the Patriots never focused on crushing teams in terms of scores in all of the wins that led to their three superbowls. If you recall, they always found a way to win, ugly or not, sometimes with the offense lagging having the defense pick up most of the points in a given game...that's their philosophy: to do what's necessary to win. Also note that they lost 31-0 against the Bills in the 2003 opener and then blanked them 31-0 to cap the season on the way to their 2003 season Superbowl.

Oh, yeah, Go Pats!!

[BostonSoccer]

mmmm good statement...

[RubberMallet]

wow patriot fans are more delirious than redsox fans....oh wait...

they don't have the personel to win those close games anymore....their offense is comprised of a great mich qb (toot toot), a broken down back, rookie maroney, no name wr's, and an up and coming te. and their defense is not what it used to be....jr seau? really?...

last year, the highflying indianapolis colts avg'd 15 more pts than their opponents intheir wins...the patriots avg'd 12....not a huge pt difference...

them and their "doing enough to win" and their "offense that spreads the ball around" is espn speak for "we really have no idea why they win"...

pats will still make the playoffs, bill can win with that squad...he just won't win it all...


oh and don't live in the past....those bills went 9-7 and barely missed teh playoffs...these bills will battling it out with the jets for 5 wins...

[BostonSoccer]

patriots 2-0 , panthers 0-2 have a nice day kids

[LUconn]

so the panthers stink and the pats have no D but have been lucky enough to play the Bills and the Jets. Have a nice day indeed.

[bigsmooth]

agreed LUconn. nothing like the attitude of patriot fan, since they won those super bowls. focus on the present. yes you are 2-0. look who you played. you will win your division, and you will lose in the 1st round of the playoffs. you have a nice day too how ya like dem apples!

[givemethemic]

How about those Jags last night... they are gonna make a run this year.... There D is definitely carrying them right now

[bigsmooth]

easy browns fan. yes the jags played a great game, but the steelers gave up 9 points...you should win games only giving up 9 points. a healthy big ben would have made a difference, but that's ok. it is early. maybe the browns could take some notes on how to play defense from either team
