Greg Lewis a Hero

So who would have thunk it? Greg Lewis, at 29, cut from the Eagles and the Pats this year has made arguably the greatest last minute play (along with Farve) in the history of the NFL.
With only 2 tics left in the game, on the 32 yard line looking in, and down by 4, Greg Lewis comes up the star with a leaping grab in the back of the end zone, stepped with his left foot and dragged his right for the win.
Kudos to Farve for threading the needle once again but this was Lewis's first catch of the season!
I think this is a great story. I have always liked and respected Lewis. The guy is always smiling- just happy to be playing. According to Postbulletin.com http://news.postbulletin.com/newsmanager/templates/localnews_story.asp?z=22&a=418313, he wasn't even supposed to suit for the game. The real reason he even got a chance was because Childress has a soft spot for him. Don't get me wrong, I know our WR core is stronger now then ever- I just like to see guys like this do well. Congrats G Lewis

That said, I agree with Green and Whodie, both of whom rightly spanked Bye Dawk for his poor financial planning.

I almost threw up when I saw that. We neeed the Vikings and NO to start losing.
Bleed green, or don't bleed at all!

Was Freddy Mitchell’s one big day. I hope Greg can build on his. He has much more class than Mitchell did.

Had a touchdown catch in a superbowl too. This play sums up lewis perfectly. He’ll make one clutch spectacular play then wont have a catch for another 7 games.
Greg Lewis and Eric Bruntlett
are very similar in my mind. theyre both somewhat decent but have performed something amazing. with GLew it is this catch, and with Brunts it was his unassisted triple play

no its not
lewis was atleast useful .. bruntlett barley hits 200 and shouldnt evne be on the phillies .. lewis was a decent depth wr and good special teams guy

he scored the game winning run in game 3 and game 5 of the World Series … for that I will forever be grateful to Eric Bruntlett.

Bruntlet is a great fielder
would start for a few teams, we should consider ourselves lucky to have a guy like him backing up our guys.
Good glove, great attitude and like Whodie said he has come up clutch for us when it was needed
RIP JJ
what
do u watch the phillies .. i watched atleast a 100 games this year .. he made a ton of errors .. he actually had an error and another one should of been an error before that triple play .. and he was hiting under .200 he wouldnt start for ANY team in mlb .. including the nationals .. guzman is a hell of a lot better than this guy .. maybe the pirates .. he would fit right in there .. what a bum .. cairo is a better utility infielder .. when bruntlett is up its like automatic out .. like when abraham nunez used to come up in the ninth .. i used to change the chanel

REALLY?
I mean, damn. It was a good play but overreact much?
And it almost seems to be a certainty that this will factor into the playoff seeding but “greatest last minute play in the history of the NFL”? Come on.
I am the people's troll :3™
2 seconds left
35 yards out down by 4. Thread the needle, back of the end zone double coverage
There arent a lot of plays like that brother… I said arguably the greatest last minute play.
Ofcorse Rothlesbugers would rank up there but he had more time and less distance with a starting WR
Ofcorse the venue wasnt the superbowl but disregaurd that, just the play itself. It would be difficult to name another 5 like it/ dont take it so literaly Im not saying its impossable but this play is definitly up there
RIP JJ
Well at least he isn't a poodle herder...
…like JIBTA…
