I remember OldPro mentioning how "Wide Receiver" reminded him of the Steelers vs. Oilers on Monday Night Football, and on the Youtube link of that song, there's a comment by someone about how the song reminded him of a play where the Oilers got screwed by the refs because of the lyrics.

but yes. Good look on that Jerry Knight song, because that's definitely unique. "Wide Receiver" really was one of those songs that stressed its importance in Funk... that line could have easily been played on an electric bass, but because it wasn't...
