Called my Budd.....Part 2

I didn't discourage anybody from posting. Am I not allowed my opinion too?

Sorry, you are right; maybe I'm a bit sensitive cause I just watched that 911 movie; Flight 173 I think. Forgot the name; not a bad movie, but a bummer to think about.

I want to see that movie, but I don't know if I can take it. Bravery isn't a strong enough word to describe those heroes. How many in the crowd were crying?

I want to see the movie as well. Have to prepare myself first though. I went to the crash site and chapel near Shanksville a couple years ago with a couple friends who live there. It absolutely nailed me in the gut.

Told my kids that day "these are the type of people you should model yourself after not the actors, rock stars or athletes".

Heard at movie's private screening they had in N.Y. that it was like a crowd leaving a funeral when the movie finished. Couldn't see anything but that happening.

Not to say Mario Williams won't be good, but he got 26-1/12 sacks in 36 games. He didn't get any sacks in 23 of those games. 13 of his sacks came in 4 games. And in those 23 games he didn't get to the QB, N.C. St. was playing East Kentucky, Middle Tennessee St. South Florida, Wake Forest, etc.

Mario can't turn the corner. Even with all his speed, strength and quickness, his pass rush just is not there. He's no Reggie White, believe it now or believe it later. Dick Corrick, former head of Packer scouts, said the same thing in his analyis of Mario Williams in Packer Insider, he over rushes every play. Butch Davis says he's way over hyped, he's not close to being the best DE in a decade.

Truth be told, it was a good movie, but I think the movie did a decent job making it all unemotional. A small % cried I would say; it did a nice job showing the facts of how things went down. It would have been better for it to be more of a tribute to the people on that plane who tried. I feel it's a must see, but emotionally it was not as intense as I expected. Would have liked to see a tribute to each member at the end.

My wife saw another movie on television about the same thing that really focused on the families, and how each family reacted when person after person was making their final call. She said she was in tears throughout that one and it was a lot more emotional and she actaully liked the tv movie better.

I watched that movie on AE and yeah, that was a major freakin movie. Very good. Sorry back to the pack.

See Motife,
I like hearing this stuff because it makes me feel better about not having him.

I'm such a wuss. Just trying to imagine what they and their families went through gets the tears building for me.

Watching it now; Thanks. It's not too early to see this; that is moronic.

Two things I was a bit disappointed in.

1. Should have had more character development and family tributes

2. Should have used this film to garner more support for those in Iraq in times where some don't support our troops. Whether you support the war or not, you should support the people there IMO.

[GrnBay007]

Looking back at the whole deal now, it feels like it was a bad dream. Like how the hell could something like this happen to our Country. I agree B, it's not too soon. People need to remember.

10% of the gross profits from the movie this weekend go to memorials......so after the draft hoopla, everyone should go see the movie this weekend.

ok, sorry for distracting your thread ND.

[HarveyWallbangers]

N.O. might be positioning as to not let on they want to trade the pick so badly.

Also,

I just heard Williams speak on ESPN and WOW...He's a hell of an impressive person as well as player. I think the Texans made the right decision. This guy could be Reggie. I'll take Reggie over Gayle Sayers any friggin day.

Bush has a much better chance of being Sayers than Mario has of being Reggie. If you are going to apples to apples comparison, why not compare Reggie to the greatest RB of all-time, Jim Brown. I'd take Brown.

[swede]

Check your SKinbasket pocket dictionary Harv. Cocks to cocks is the preferred way to say apples to apples.

I hope you're right about Bush if we're going to make a run at him.

[RashanGary]

How many superbowls did Brown win? I don't remember.

[RashanGary]

Jim Brown must have been a pre-superbowl player......

Either way, Reggie Bush reminds me nothing of the Jim Brown I've heard stories of. He is more accurately compared to Sayers.

Mario is most often compared to Bruce or Reggie. So I thought it was pretty fair.

I'd take Bruce over Sayers too.

[RashanGary]

Mario even sounds a little bit like Reggie. It's not as raspy but it's got that raspy sound....

I've seen that one as well, on History Channel...it was tough. tears flowed watching that one...and anger.
