NFL

Deangelo Williams goes out with a leg injury, and I see Fitz Toussaint still can't pick up the blitz. On the plus side the, the Bills are up 13 on the Jets. But the way this season has gone, I expect that missed XP to be decisive.

#52 LB David Harris, New York Jets

• Quarterback Tom Brady and the New England Patriots sit at 9-0 this season following a nail-biting victory over the New York Giants. Brady threw for 334 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-26 win.

Cincinnati Bengals #29 Leon Hall CB

Random thought crossed into my head.  I'd like to see opinions on this.  We know that Tom Brady is moderately successful, as is some octogenarian named Charles Woodson.  So who takes bronze?  Graham?  Harris?  Woodley?  Hall?  Long?  Martin?  We have two current HOFers and then a list of guys I'd consider pretty good, but not greats.

What says you people?
