When Billy “White Shoes” Johnson says the sky is the limit for Devin Hester and the NFL record books when it comes to returns, we’re talking the SKY.
Hester ended a more than two-year drought without a score last Monday night with a 62-yard punt return for a touchdown at Soldier Field in the Chicago Bears’ victory over the Green Bay Packers. It gave Hester 12 return touchdowns in his career and leaves him just one return score away from tying Brian Mitchell for the all-time lead.
“The way he is going, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with 20 touchdowns," said White Shoes, the return man for the NFL’s 75th Anniversary Team."He's at a peak now where he just goes and he is in a zone. I'm sure he will be viewed as the best of all time, and rightfully so."
The attack has left Nelson hairdresser Brent William Powell, 40, in Nelson Hospital intensive care unit in a coma with serious injuries.
Powell was about 30m from the intersection with Domett Street when he was assaulted.
He lay unconscious for about seven hours before a jogger found him and alerted the emergency services.
Nally said that his injuries included an intracranial bleed, severe swelling about the head and face, multiple facial fractures, a broken jaw and broken teeth.
Police had conducted a forensic scene examination at the scene of the attack.
He urged anyone with information to contact police or Crimestoppers.
When a musician makes records that are little more than an uncanny voice and a deftly picked guitar, like post-folk troubadour Kristian Matsson, who plays under the name the Tallest Man on Earth, it can be tempting to beef up the arrangements for the touring context.
But if one followed that dismissive line of thinking about contemporary music it wouldn’t leave much else to talk about. Lesser artists than Matsson have withstood more strenuous harrumphing. It’s not the framework of the architecture that matters, it’s the living that goes on inside the house once you’ve got it built. That said, the gently plucked, plaintive "Like the Wheel" or"The Wild Hunt" could have been pulled directly from old Bobby’s songbook.
By comparison the efficiently stripped-down four-piece band S. Carey, lead by Bon Iver drummer Sean Carey, seemed positively robust. With upright bass, heavily effected guitar, keyboards, drums and two gorgeously harmonizing voices, the band blended hypnotic percussion and worrying, elegiac vocals with sparse passages of reverberating drone.
