Judas Priest rocks…

Seriously, what would drive anyone to hurt a person in their 70s?

But…

A couple of morons in Niagara Falls thought it was okay to take on a 75 year old and got smacked with a hammer.

When he told them he didn’t smoke, he was attacked and punched in the face by the larger of the two suspects. The victim grabbed one of his hammers, however, and managed to inflict several blows upon the would-be thieves before they took off running down nearby Profit Lane.

I hope he put a serious hurt on them.

There is no doubt in my Byrd mind that Andre Reed deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame…but he is going to have  to wait a bit longer.

I just don’t get why wide receivers are viewed differently in HOF voting than other positions.

The great ones are just that…great.

Andre Reed was great…he was equally as important to the Bills as was Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith in their heyday together.

Maybe next go round of HOF voting…

Last night’s game was U G of LY…

Just some thoughts…

Wasn’t Lalime supposed to see more action after his little conditioning assignment earlier in the season?  What has he played since then…maybe two-three games?  Not that he could have stopped any of what went in against Columbus.

The Sabres look like a team that has lost its way…I know part of it is teams have changed up the way they have been playing the Buffalo lately, but a big part of it are the breakdowns we are seeing in different aspects of their game lately.

I know it is  still a long season and they were bound to slide a bit here and there, but I don’t want them to slide like this.

The glaring thing the last few games are the bad penalties and defensive lapses.

Hopefully they will get back on tack before the Olympic break.

A side note…I would love to see the Jacket’s Rick Nash in the blue and gold.

Could he be good at QB for the Bills…I just don’t know.  He wasn’t bad when he was with the Falcons…he had four full seasons as a starter….he threw for 10,135  yards at a 54.7% completion rate, 65 tds and 46 ints…his record was 34-26-1 behind center during that time…he won and lost a couple post season games.

His body of work with the Eagles is a wash…he really didn’t play much to gauge where he is at.

Vick is entering the prime years for a QB age wise….he is probably a better QB than anything we have on the roster…but he is still a gamble…could he elevate his play again to level of an NFL starter again…could he be better than what he was.  It is intriguing to ponder, but is it worth the risk and the circus that would follow the first year he is here.

With all that said, I read tonight the former Los Angeles Rams appear to be the front runner in the Vick dog fight.

The Sabres

I think Sabres should make a trade…I think there are some players who we could part with…Derek Roy & Drew Stafford come to mind…plus we have some decent prospects.

If management seriously believes the Sabes got a shot this year, it wouldn’t hurt to tweak the roster a bit.  Darcy John Regier has made moves in the past near the deadline…nothing blockbuster, but he has made moves.  It is tough to get any sort of a read on what he and the organization is thinking…all we generally get are pretty much stock answers from the Sabres we have become accustomed to in the Regier/Ruff era.

With the recent road trip slide and their current three game slide, I hope the Sabres take a long hard look at what is available and how it could help the team make a serious run.

I am by no means a beer snob…not that there is anything wrong with being a beer snob…I am not one iz all I iz sayin…I just like beer.

Once a year in January, the good people who make Genesee Beer put out their special edition Bock Beer…sometimes I remember it is Bock season and sometimes I don’t…There is only a limited run of its production…when it is gone for the season, it is gone till next January…this year, I didn’t remember and luckily stumbled across a sale of it at Wegmans for $5.99 a twelve pack…I know what you are thinking…Genesee Beer?!?!??!   Seriously this is the best twelve you will ever drink for almost six bucks.  There is only a limited run of its production…when it is gone for the season, it is gone till next January. The way beer prices have skyrocketed with the downturn in the economy and increased ingredient prices over the last few years, it is tough to get a good deal on decent beer.

I really don’t like beer in a can…but I make an exception for da Bock.

It isn’t the best beer or best bock out there, but it is a pretty darn good beer for the price.

A tip of the hat to Genesee for still putting it out after all these years…you don’t really see these type of offerings from other beer companies in their class.

I also like their 12 Horse Ale and regular “Genny” in bottle pounders…Genny in a bottle tastes a lot better than the canned stuff.

So tonight I will get a little bocked up with “the goat.”
