Top 10 Safetys in the NFL

This may not be on your mind, but if you know me, you'll know that football is almost always on mine. I was reading some blogs for off-season gurus like myself, and I came across a top ten safetys in the league list that was terrible. Ed Reed was first, and Roy Williams was 5th. Terrible. Roy Williams shouldn't even be on such a list, especially after this year he was suspended for his breaking of the rule that was put into place because of him. He's not even best on his team!

So, here are my Top 10 Saftetys;

10. Sean Jones, Browns
9. Reggie Nelson, Jaguars
8. Oshiomogho Atagwe, Rams
7. Kerry Rhodes, Oakland
6. Gibril Wilson, Giants
5. Ed Reed, Ravens
4. Brian Dawkins, Eagles
3. Adrian Wilson, Cardinals
2. Troy Polamolu, Steelers
1. Bob Sanders, Colts

Here's that other guys list. Assuming mine is correct (and it is) look how wrong he was.
1.Ed Reed
2.Brian Dawkins
3.Bob Sanders
4.Sean Taylor
5.Roy Williams
6.Troy Palamalu
7.Adrian Wilson
8.Darren Sharper
9.Kerry Rhodes
10. Michael Huff

I'm guessing that he's an Oakland fan, as they are the only team to be represented twice. Sean Taylor was a great player, no question, and he will be missed.

Top Ten DMB

I know that a lot of you are bigger supporters of Dave than I am. I realize that you know all 3,000 Dave Matthews Band songs compared to my puny knowledge of a couple hundred. To that I say, you are blinded by your love for the band. You're not supposed to like every song, just because they recorded it. OK, here's my top 10, for real this time, not 15 like last time.

10. Space Between
9. Everyday
8. Lover Lay Down
7. Grace is Gone
6. Satellite
5. Angel
4. Number 41, otherwise known as "The Police"
3. What Would You Say
2. Crash
1. Ants Marching

The next several are "Where are you going," "So Much to Say" "I'll back you up" and "All along the watchtower" Rounding out the bottom of my list would be "I did it" "Big Eyed Fish" and "Bayou." I hate that song, "bayou" and I wish they'd stop playing it at all their concerts. Not everything they do turns to gold, but the stuff they get right is unlike any sound out there. As far as bands I'll be proud to back of the next 60 years, they're right up there with the Counting Crows. Well, maybe right behind. Did I forget any songs you like?

Top 10 Counting Crows songs of all time

In honor of the free concert that the Crows put on here in Tempe last week, and all the new people I've been trying to expose to the greatest band in the genre of winy rock, I am now posting the Top 15 Greatest Hits of the CC.


15. Hanging Around
14. Mrs. Potter's Lullaby
13. Round Here
12. Good Night Elizabeth
11. Wish I was a Girl
10. Omaha
9. Accidentally in Love
8. Why Should you Come when I Call
7. Rain King
6. Perfect Blue Buildings
5. Long December
4. Raining in Baltimore
3. Amy Hits the Atmosphere
2. St. Robinson and his Cadillac Dreams
1. Mr. Jones

As Mr. Jones was the first CC song I heard, it still has a special place in my heart. Plus, I named my guitar after it. I realize that Amy hits the atmosphere is probably too high, but I love that song right now. "Any time it rains I just feel a lot better, and that's all that really matters to me" I don' think I need to justify the top 10. Most are respected classics. A lot of crows fans I know don't like Hangnin Around, but I still like it enought to mention it. If you can think of one that effects you deeply, let me know, I'll give it another listen.

If you are reading this and feel you need to recommit your life to the crows/ and or Jesus, let me know. Take care out there people!
