Welcome to 3 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: Patriot's Unfiltered. Do you remember the end? You don't think 4 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: that they were rushing a little bit? No, I don't 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: remember the game. Why can we don't remember that? I 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: don't remember the drive? Ga Zalac, I'm FC. Baron Munich 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: came out with a new kid. Just lad came up 8 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: with a new kid. Jean Luke is from Tennessee, but 9 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: previously from Rhode Island. I wonder if he knows that 10 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: with the name like Joan Luke, he probably does. Is 11 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: one of the few people Eric talks to seem when 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: we first started, it was, you know, we'd bring in 13 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,959 Speaker 1: new people. Part of the indoctrination is you have to 14 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: take a shower with Bruce Armstrong and sell them up. 15 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: You listen to the music radio, terrestrial music radio. You 16 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: don't know you are the snob snob in the history 17 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: of snobbery.

However, we're gonna have to We're gonna 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: have to muddle through a couple more shows before any 29 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: new football news. But of course, Paul Parillo, Alexandra Alexandria 30 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: is that Alexandra Francisco of course is back on purpose? 31 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: Of course, Oh come on, I know who it is. 32 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: But that's right, right, that's that's you gotta mess up names. 33 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: That's part of that comes with the gig. I say 34 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: this as d train. Of course, that was d trained 35 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: early on. Now moved on to deuce. But we're here 36 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: after bypassing sexual dissault. Sexual dissault, that was a that 37 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: was a good friend one. I do like that and 38 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: I've been dissaulted many times in my life, so yeah, 39 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: that but brought a full circle. But guys, we we 40 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: got a week to go here, and we just kind 41 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: of you know, we we we've gotten stranger things. We've 42 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: got like Star Wars that's gotten us through. But I 43 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: don't I don't know how we're gonna make it here 44 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: through through this last Well, the rookies are here right today, 45 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: reporting day. Injured guys, quarterbacks, you know, those those types 46 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: of people. It's reporting day for them. So it's getting 47 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: pretty real pretty fast. I saw Mac pulling in today, 48 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: so the to be excited we did pulled in behind him. 49 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: Little back safely arrived in front of Deuce today. A 50 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: little bit of a hold up at the gate. Yeah, 51 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: come on, let's go, let's go. I got things to do. Mac. 52 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: A little bit of adulation going on at the gate 53 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: to get in the parking lot. I gotta get in. 54 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: But uh, a big old smile on his face, and 55 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: it seems like he's he's ready, ready to go, and darna, 56 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: let's get this football thing going year two. But you know, 57 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: we're still we're finding out, you know, first four four 58 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: days of practice next week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. We'll 59 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: be live Patriots, unfiltered. We will for a little bit. 60 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: We do not know yet what time that will be? 61 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: Probably morning, but we're guessing morning because that's what it's 62 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: been in recent years. So there won't be regular shows. Well, 63 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: there'll be a regular show next Tuesday, and which which 64 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: you don't really need to listen to because I won't 65 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: be here. So oh yeah, so just cross only knows 66 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: that'll probably be the Star Wars show. Cross it off 67 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: the game. That's a good idea. Actually, if we got 68 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: Matt Moreau back but tis in the booth, I gotta 69 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: give him a shout out as well. So he's doing 70 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: it all. He's like, he can be on the show, 71 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: he can produce it, he does whatever needs to be done. 72 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: Any talents, many many talents. And yeah, so we're just 73 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: kind of see what these first few days of camp 74 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: are gonna look like. It's probably gonna be kind of boring, 75 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: I would guess a little bit, Paul right, like, no 76 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 1: no pads again, it's gonna be like and that's still 77 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: in that gray area where I'm not really sure exactly 78 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: what the rule is. But how many of those days 79 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: I know it used to be back in the day 80 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: when they first did this, it was two days they 81 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: had to be out of pads now I think it's 82 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: like five or four or five. So we'll do our 83 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: best to give you a taste of what's going on 84 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: on the field, but there won't be any real difference 85 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: between what we see Wednesday through Saturday and what we 86 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: talked about during the spring. Kind of mini camp like 87 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: mini camp Adjason almost Yeah, no pads, But it used 88 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: to be in the day you'd have your first that 89 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: first padded Saturday, usually with something to look forward to. Yeah, 90 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: they always did goal line that first day with pads. 91 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: That was always something to look forward to. But at 92 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: least now I think you instead you circle the joint 93 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: practices because you know they'll be in pads. You're working 94 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: against another team. There's a little bit more intensity. You know. 95 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: It's by no means is it the real thing, but 96 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: it's much much closer to something of relevance than what 97 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: you see on a typical practice for sure. Well, Well, 98 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: Radio Patriots dot Com eight five five Pats five hundred 99 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: and give us a call. I love to hear from 100 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: you guys. Stupid games, music, movies, television opinions. I'd love 101 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: some games too. Well, guys could take care of me 102 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: before I go on vacation. Would love some of that, 103 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: and of course this will be your first season here 104 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: with what are you looking forward to here? I mean, 105 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: I know you've been around, like you're a great question, Yes, 106 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: what do you what do you think? You've been here 107 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: a little while so you know a little bit of 108 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,559 Speaker 1: what's coming, and you've been to training camp in the past, 109 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: So what do you what do you think? You're on 110 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: the inside now? Yeah, um one, it's nice to go 111 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: outside for work. Hopefully it's not as hot as it's 112 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: going to be. Like the heat, though, you are such 113 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: a big guys, I'm really angry with you. I love 114 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: the heat. Like I was just telling someone upstairs that 115 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: I was in New Orleans in August and like everyone 116 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: around me was miserable, and I was just love in life. 117 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,559 Speaker 1: I love the heat. It's so much better than being cold. 118 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: I think I like being cold better. I found it 119 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: easier to get warm than it is to get cool, 120 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: Like you could just wrap up on a blanket, put 121 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: a sweatshirt on. That's that's my thing. I don't mind 122 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: the heat. I just want humidity. Yeah, I guess, But 123 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: the humidity, you know, that's what gets me, not so 124 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: much the heat. It's it's this hum humidity, especially nowhere. 125 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: Nowhere worse was than in Tennessee when we were down there. 126 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: That was like you stepped out of the car and 127 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: you just started dripping. It was. That was particularly oppressive heat. 128 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: But I like, like Alex said, I would much rather, 129 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: you know, be in a situation where it's really way 130 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: warm than you know, dealing with like twenty degrees and 131 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: snow and all that crap. A real thing because we 132 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: come in on such a nice day here to work 133 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: and it's freezing all day. You don't see the you 134 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: don't see out the windows. I don't have anything to do. 135 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, get me outside. Well, soon enough, we will 136 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: be out there plenty. And of course, what am I 137 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: complaining about? Like we're sitting like in the shade, and 138 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: these guys are like wearing full football pats and having 139 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: to fight each other for two hours and run and 140 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: do all those physical things. Like yeah, maybe you know 141 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: the running part of it. I'm done with that. I 142 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: gotta wear I gotta wear headphones up on the ramp 143 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: and my ears get sweaty. That's you know. I don't like. 144 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: That makes me uncomfortable. So Alex, what you know, you 145 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: were talking about you're just you know, getting being excited 146 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: about getting outside and enjoying that part of it. But 147 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: on the field, is there any player, anybody in particular 148 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: that you're sort of because I thought it was a 149 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: good question because we're always talking about the same stuff 150 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: all the time, to get a first time perspective of 151 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: what you're kind of looking forward to for camp. I'm 152 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing how some of the guys from 153 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: last year that maybe came in and underperformed quite significantly. 154 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: I just like, I'm really rooting for good camps out 155 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: of them. And I just like when narratives that are 156 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: around the team and that all the beat writers are 157 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: talking about just get kind of like shifted and just 158 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: like proven wrong. I don't know. I like that, I 159 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: do too, but I'm going to guess it's not for 160 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: the same reasons, right right, Well, And there's been plenty, 161 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: I mean, there's been plenty to talk about it. I mean, 162 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: I think you know the whole offensive operation and how 163 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: does that go? What able and inside are you able 164 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: to get in practice? Are they going to be throwing 165 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: fakes at us a little bit, maybe trying to confuse people. 166 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, it just seems like a lot of effort. 167 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it. You know. It was part 168 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: of the mail bag this week that went up, the 169 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: abbreviated vacation version of the mail bag. But just like 170 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: the on the field, I want to see the speed 171 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: that they supposedly acquired in the draft. I want to 172 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: see if it's noticeable and when you're out there, and 173 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: it won't be. It won't be next Wednesday. It'd be 174 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: more like a week from then, when it's you know, 175 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: a couple of days and pads. You're a week into camp, 176 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: you're starting to get tired, and if that speed is 177 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: still apparent, you know, Taekwon, Thornton, Pierre Strong, Marcus and 178 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: Jack Jones, those kinds of guys. I want to see 179 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: if the forty times that we read about in April 180 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: translate to July and August on the practice field and 181 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: then obviously moving forward to the regular season. But that's 182 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: one thing that I'm sort of looking for. That was 183 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 1: we were talking a little bit upstairs about you get 184 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: so excited for camp. I'm certainly excited for camp, but 185 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: even the joint practices are you know, especially interesting to 186 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: watch a real competition, different team different players, especially when 187 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: you get to that point a couple of weeks in 188 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: you've been watching enough of the Patriots on Patriots that 189 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: you're ready for something new. The players are ready for 190 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: something new. But something Paul and I were talking about 191 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: upstairs was that, you know, as much as I think 192 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: you could take away maybe from that Giants in practice 193 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: last year, like Mac looked pretty good. I mean he 194 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: was you know, we got an opportunity, he made some throws. 195 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: I think that was when the excitement around him started 196 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: to build. But how much do you really feel like 197 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: you can take from those joint practices and realistically extrapolate 198 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: into the regular season what you're expecting to see. I 199 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: just each time I watch these things, it gets harder 200 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: and harder for me to say we're getting definitive facts 201 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: from training camp practices, and the reality of it is, 202 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: no matter what it kind of looks like, good or bad, 203 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: you don't know until you get out there against Miami 204 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: in Week one and you really start to play like 205 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Well, that's that's for sure 206 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: in the summer in general, and I think I thought 207 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: the Patriots in the preseason games last year looked as 208 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: strong in the summer as I've seen them in recent memory. 209 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: I thought their preseason performances last year were dominant. Really, 210 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean anything, It really doesn't. Now. I do 211 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: think that the joint practices are a little bit better barometer, 212 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: and I think, if you want to be real simplistic, 213 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: and I admit this is really simplistic, but I thought 214 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: they had their way with the Giants, and I thought 215 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: the Eagles kind of had an edge, but it was 216 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: a little bit more readed. The Eagles dominated Day one. 217 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: I thought Day two was pretty even, and then you 218 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: look and you extrapolate from that the Giants sucked. So okay, 219 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: the Patriots were much better than the Giants, but the 220 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: Giants weren't any good. And then the Eagles it was 221 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: more even, and the Eagles were a playoff team. Yeah, 222 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: and you know, they found a way to be around 223 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: five hundred, kind of similar to the Patriots. I think 224 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: they would nine and eight, the Patriots would ten and seven, 225 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: So they kind of had similar records and they both 226 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: made the playoffs. So very simplistic, I know, but you 227 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: can sort of extrapolate a little bit from that. Yeah, Well, 228 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: I mean, of course you're gonna overanalyze every little detail 229 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: and everything, but it's just at the end of the day, 230 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: you really wonder, other than a couple of key pieces 231 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: when game you know, when they're really not game planning, 232 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: they're really not trying to do anything, and I don't know, 233 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: I think you get a little bit carried away. But 234 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: you know, another thing I was thinking about too though 235 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: with the heat is, of course we're going to have 236 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: the conditioning test for all these players that they have 237 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: to run, which is always something that plays into potential 238 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: pup lists coming out later this week. Guys, I know 239 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: there's been some speculation about James White, is he going 240 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: to be able to go? Marcus Jones was a guy 241 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: you mentioned Paul who had both shoulder surgery. You know, 242 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: is he going to be able to go? I think 243 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: those guys are two of kind of the headliners. I mean, 244 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: i'd love to see, you know, Ray Kwa, McMillan, Cameron mcgrown, 245 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: guys at tore ACLS last year. Bill Peppers, your Bill 246 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: Peppers if they're able to go. But that's probably the 247 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: first little bit of information we'll get along with the 248 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: guys who don't pass the conditioning test. Probably you won't 249 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: know Billy to be able to discern. But I'm sure 250 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: Trump Brown's gonna be lugging his three hundred, and you'll 251 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: see something probably this week. Right, the people that are 252 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: reporting today when they get out in the field, if 253 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: they can't get on the field, I think you might 254 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: read about some of that at this point. That's always 255 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: interesting and you know, kind of a rule of thumb, 256 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: not one percent, but if you know what guy is 257 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: dealing with an injury and he's on PUP, it's probably 258 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: reasonable to suggest that physically he's not ready to take 259 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: the test yet. If you don't have any idea that 260 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: a guy is injured and all of a sudden he's 261 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: on PUP, that might be a red flag of the 262 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: conditioning test, especially if he ends up coming off like 263 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: two or three days later. Yeah, that means he got 264 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 1: to retake it, past it and was cleared. Yeah. The 265 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: other partly made me think it was Leonard Fournette. I 266 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: think the report that he was fifty fitty after role 267 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: of Paul Parola was Leonard Fournette. After coming up here 268 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: to visit, right, he took like one of those like 269 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: quote unquote visits to the Patriot. Then Brady was like, 270 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: what are you doing? But I mean I thought about 271 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: Brady where he seems like the kind of guy that's 272 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: like that's not flying with him, you know, like I 273 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: feel like he made night. Yeah right, it's the tomatoes. 274 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's the tomatoes. Think that got Leonard Fournette 275 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: and trouble tomatoes a strawberries and boot him over the top. 276 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: But you know it's just you wonder what Tampa like, 277 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: how do you keep it going? Bringo Brady setting set 278 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: in the bar with Leonard Fournett, I mean, always been 279 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: a big guy, but again an interesting little thing. And 280 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: you know I mentioned Trent Brown, Michael Win, you those 281 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: big linemen that are gonna have to be out there 282 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: moving things around. Uh. But you know what, Actually, one 283 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: other thing I want to talk. I don't want to. 284 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to undercut Fred 285 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: with this announcement, not the announcement that the Patriots unfiltered 286 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: getting mentioned. A few people have emailed in this morning, um, 287 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 1: and I want to leave it for Fred, but I'll 288 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: just problem in me a little bit, which was on 289 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: a recent episode of Political Gabfests with John Dickerson of 290 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: CBS News, was this. I think I got an email 291 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: forwarded from Stacy. Maybe it might have been. I mean, 292 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: there are on this podcast, like out of Nowhere. They 293 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: basically credited PFW and Progress as one of the original, uh, 294 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: one of the original podcasts. Pretty cool. I think Matt 295 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: Morrell was going to pull the sound. We don't have 296 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: him today though, but that did. He did pull the sound, 297 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: but he is not with us today. But I'll let 298 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: I'll let Fred really really talk about it. But it's 299 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: a pretty cool clip out of Nowhere kind of credit 300 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: this show, which I think when you were first on here, Alex, 301 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: we pointed out like that this was one of the 302 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: og podcasts. There is a very real possibility that we 303 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: would the original podcast. Sniff. Yeah, a number of different 304 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: people emailed in. I'm trying to find one one of 305 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: the one of the people wrote in and actually had 306 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: the whole quote written out here it is, I'm gonna 307 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: read it. Why don't you read it. I'm gonna read it. 308 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: We gotta slowly. You have the audio, but you can 309 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: read it. Yeah, well we'll read it first to kind 310 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: of set the stage. But this is John Dickerson saying, 311 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: I did you know that basically one of the first 312 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: podcasts was launched by the New England Patriots in August 313 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: to two thousand. They did a show called PFWM Progress 314 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: and it was a live show that was recorded and 315 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: you could get it on demand at Patriots dot com. 316 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if that technically counts as a podcast, 317 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: but I think that was one of the first or 318 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: vies for some space to be in the beginning of 319 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: this form, which Mark Leibovich countered, which accurately interestingly, this 320 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: was the year Tom Brady was drafted, so everyone credits 321 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: him for turning the fortune of the Patriots around after 322 00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: years of nap too. Well, maybe it was the podcast. 323 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it was. Do you think Paul was it 324 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: you guys that inspired Yes, the team on the Great 325 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: it was Fred and Paul that created the Dynasty. I 326 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: just googled the history of podcasts because I know there's 327 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: a guy named Adam Curry. Who is the old Adam Curry? Right, 328 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: I don't know that name? Oh my gosh, maybe, um 329 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: I forget what show you the hair Alex, Yeah, he 330 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: does have a lot of hair, like long, hairy, kind 331 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: of crazy. Yeah, so I thought it was him. So 332 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: I just looked up history of podcasting real quick. So 333 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: October two thousand they're talking about like RSS feeds coming 334 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: into play, and then there's a whole section that says 335 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: the first on demand radio show and the first podcast, 336 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: and the first paragraph is in August two thousand, the 337 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: New England Patriots launched the internet radio show PFW in Progress. 338 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: It was a live show that was recorded, made available 339 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. But Wikipedia is giving you guys credit, 340 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: so must it must be real. It's because they cash 341 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: the check. Thank you Wikipedia. Pretty cool. So that was Fred, 342 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: myself and brianon Innovator. I mean listeners of this of 343 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: this of this podcast, no, I mean it goes beyond 344 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: just this podcast, but other things. I mean, cyber Sideline 345 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: was that was That was one of cyber Sideline was 346 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: basically what you think of is the nightly news on 347 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: let's just say the sports report, right, So instead of 348 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: a half hour of all news, you know, like news, weather, sports, 349 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: it was just fifteen minutes of Jess Patriots. And we 350 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: did it every day. Not to give Fred like too 351 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: much credit while he's not here. That's why we're doing 352 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: it now. He deserves that's all. The talent did not 353 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: realize at all that Patriots dot Com was in existence before, 354 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: like any major sports league had their own website. It's 355 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: the first team website. Um, the newspaper, not that anybody 356 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: cares about that, but the newspaper was the first all 357 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: color team, team run newspaper. There's a lot of first 358 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: and Jonathan Kraft, and it's really Jonathan Craft who deserves 359 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that because he's our boss and 360 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: owner and whatnot, but he's the one that was sort 361 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: of the driving force behind a lot of these innovations. 362 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: All right, well, we got some got some calls rolling in, 363 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 1: we got some emails rolling in. Appreciate you guys. Let's 364 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: let's let's take Neil from Winnipeg. We're not We're ninety 365 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: percent sure it's Neil. We'll see exactly. Hey, what's going on? 366 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: Hey guys, how's it going good? What's up? Great to 367 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: hear you talk about the past. I've been a listener 368 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: actually since two thousand and three. I found that I've 369 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: found it about midway through the two thousand and three season, 370 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: and that was the only podcast I had. These days, 371 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: I have like thirty podcasts. I wasn't to do, but 372 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: back then you guys were the one. How do you 373 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: keep track of all? That's what I let. I let 374 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: my phone do it. But yeah, okay, Paul joke kind 375 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: of went under the radar when he set playing the 376 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: role of Paul Purlows Leonard Fournett. That was good. I 377 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: had you, guys. So I'm from Winnipeg, but I have 378 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: family in Boston and the New England area and I'm 379 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: looking to visit in the fall. And so I've narrowed 380 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: it down to three games that I'm possibly going to 381 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: go to. Let's go. So I just wanted to year 382 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: guys to be back. Um, so the Ravens, the Bears, 383 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: and the Lions. You got to go to the Bears games, 384 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: then Nikkil Harry Revenge. Uh No. Out of those three, 385 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: to me, it would be Baltimore is the best, the 386 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: best team by far. I think we'll be Baltimore. And 387 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: also I mean the Bears the Monday night or two, 388 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: so that you know something to consider for your weekend. 389 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: But home opener against the Ravens, I think that would 390 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: be my pick two. Yeah, Ravens would be yeah, you 391 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: know what, I was kind of leaning that way. They're 392 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: probably the probably the best team and probably the best matchup, 393 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: and we've had a good history with the Ravens. Should 394 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: be a good home opener to the energy. I think 395 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: I don't think he can match it. They're in the 396 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: stadium for that one. But yeah, check in, let us 397 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: know how it goes, for sure, Yeah, for sure. Okay, 398 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: Well you guys have a great day, have a great shows, 399 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: go one a lot of people. How is you know 400 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: checking in about what where to go, where to stay, 401 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: where to eat? Yeah, we need Eric for that. We 402 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: should direct that to the Trust Department, aren't you? When 403 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: I want to be Yeah, what would your food recommendations 404 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: be for somebody who was coming here to Foxboro for 405 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: a game at you know, you've been here a few 406 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 1: months now, You've had a chance to sample everything. Smoothies 407 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: five guys smoothies or five guys five guys is a 408 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: great burger. But um, I think if you're coming to 409 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: this area in general, the eating probably has to be 410 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: done in Providence in Boston. Um, yeah, I would you 411 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: got to get Italian? I don't know. I think the 412 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: North End is like you just can't really create recreate 413 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: a vibe like that made Federal Hill and Providence or 414 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: something good options down there. But Eric gets really bad 415 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: when you say, how could the North End is? And 416 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: he gets it's really like I get that too, but 417 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: it's part of the ambiance. Like if you're not if 418 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: you're from if you're not from here, Like I don't 419 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: want to go to the North End right now for dinner, 420 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: But if I was moved away and came to visit, 421 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: that's probably one of the places I would miss a lot. 422 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: You just can't really get good Italian food anywhere else now. 423 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: It's it's such an underrated thing about Providence and a 424 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: lot of people don't realize. And like, my wife didn't 425 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: grow up here, she grew up in California and we 426 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: moved back, and you know, just went down there for 427 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: a couple of nights for dinners and stuff and was just, 428 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: you know, blown away by the food scene down there. 429 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: It's something you don't really super under expect. Also a 430 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: great donuts scene, which you know, like the donuts, right, Polly, Yeah, 431 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: apparently they look like I know what he's talking about 432 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: the time we like donuts where donut guys, aren't we 433 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: I liked everything. Apparently there's a player on the Revolution 434 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: whose family owns a Mexican little takailla in Providence too 435 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: that I need to check out. Willie from rev Social 436 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: said it was great. That sounds intrigued to me. I think, 437 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: I think it is hard to get good authentic Mexican 438 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: yeah around here. But that's the one thing I say 439 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: that is coming from California, where that's a big difference. 440 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: It's almost the opposite of the Italian thing, where it's 441 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: like you could go. I mean, a friend of mine 442 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: lived in East Los Angeles and there should be every 443 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: night across the street. These people were just at their house. 444 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: They just start grilling for people and making tacos for 445 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: like a dollar and still among some of the best 446 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: best food I've ever had there. So I have a 447 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: place for you, but you have to go to West 448 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: Dennis to find it. It's a little I speak Dennis. 449 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: I speak Dennis, don't work cool La Taco Della and Dennis. 450 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: It's like a little food truck. But they have a 451 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: cute little area set up with like chairs and stuff. 452 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: It's awesome. It's attached to I think like a farm 453 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: to table, really fine dining, experienced restaurant. But that taco 454 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: truck they it blew my mind, it's so good. I 455 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: need one like that, And I wish I had known 456 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: this weekend. I was down there a few emails to 457 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: get to here is as they're starting to come in 458 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: appreciate these. You know, this one's from Dan saying, you know, 459 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: I try to be an optimistic fan but also realistic. 460 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,479 Speaker 1: What do you think is a realistic best case scenario 461 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: for the season? And my hope is that the offense 462 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: is significantly improved right away so that they have a 463 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: fighter's chance in games early on while the defense struggles. 464 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: Then hopefully the defense starts to gel by Thanksgiving and 465 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: they string together some wins at the end of the 466 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: season to squeak into the playoffs. I mean, I mean, 467 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: I guess that's a realistic best case scenario, but you know, 468 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: it's not like Wow, a wow scenario of positivity, right Like, 469 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's scenario is like we go undefeated 470 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: and right well, I just I feel like there's I mean, 471 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: nobody's nobody's making that claim, obviously, but I just feel 472 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: like even the most optimistic Patriot fans right now, are 473 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: you know ten eleven ten eleven? And I know I 474 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: think that that is very optimistic, but I still don't 475 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: really seem many people beaten the drum for thirteen fourteen 476 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 1: wins for obvious reasons. I mean, I think there are 477 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: plenty plenty of questions about, you know, where the team 478 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: is right now and where the rest of the league is. 479 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: But you know, I think is I think, as he 480 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: laid it out, Paul, that that feels kind of like 481 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: what you would expect if it kind of went the plan. 482 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: Of course, injuries could play a huge role in side 483 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: side make things go sideways, but you know, overall, I 484 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: think that's probably a general if you're thinking positive about 485 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: this season, that, yeah, I will say. And I feel 486 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: like I argue with Fred about this every year when 487 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: he tells me how people aren't you know, people are 488 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: disrespecting the Patriots, people don't think much of the Pagriot 489 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah, and it's never true. This year, 490 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: there isn't really a tremendous amount of optimism among Patriots 491 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,719 Speaker 1: fans about the Patriots. There is some in pockets here 492 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: and there, but I think a lot of people like, 493 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: if they could win ten games, that would be like 494 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,479 Speaker 1: really exceeding most expectations. So I don't think that there 495 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: have been a lot of you know, thirteen fourteen win 496 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: predictions like that have been in the past, not a 497 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: lot of Super Bowl predictions like there seemed to be 498 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: every year. I mean as recently as November, people were 499 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: predicting this team to be in the super Bowl. You know, 500 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: when they were nine and four. Everybody and their brother 501 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: had the Patriots in the Super Bowl because we just 502 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: don't know how to act anymore, like our brains are broken. Well, 503 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: I think the second I think the stretch drive of 504 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: the season really had a lasting impression because not only 505 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: you weren't able to win any of the games, you 506 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: really weren't competitive in any of them. You got manhandled 507 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: in those four losses and fell behind by multiple scores 508 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: and all of them. And really, I think that has 509 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: made a lasting impression on a lot of people. Well certainly, 510 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: I mean, you remember in the last game, they actually 511 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: didn't they didn't even force a punt, and that last 512 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: one is twice out of those last four games. As 513 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: we said, But yeah, it's um, I just it's hard 514 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: to it's hard to look past Mac And I know 515 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: I've said in the past, you know, I am a 516 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: I love defense. I love the you know, the linebackers, 517 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: the defensive line, but and I have my concerns about that, 518 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: but it just feels like the defense isn't really even 519 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: gonna matter if Mac doesn't take a you know, a 520 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: big step forward. And you know, I know everyone's been 521 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: talking about the offensive coordinator thing and all that, and 522 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: you know it has to work, you know, like it's 523 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 1: just there's nothing you can't mess around with that. It 524 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: feels like that that's where the critical part of this 525 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: team is. And even if you come out of this season, 526 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: well the defense didn't ever quite find it, at least 527 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: if you feel like you got some pieces to build 528 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: around Mac and some pieces coming back next year. On off, 529 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: Matt to me, if you if you feel really good 530 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: about Mac heading into year three, at least you have hope, 531 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: you know. I think that's the big difference is I 532 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: think people are cautiously optimistic about Mac if you think, 533 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: you know, he has a great year two regardless of 534 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: what the rest of it is. You know, they'll have 535 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: some money, they'll have some guys coming off the books, 536 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: they'll have an opportunity to sort of revamp things. And 537 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: you have a quarterback that you feel really good about. Yeah, 538 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: I think that's worthy of excitement. But again, I think 539 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: it goes back to the draft, and you know it's 540 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: certainly been you know, a couple of articles written after 541 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: Harry left last week of one of the one of 542 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: the nails in the coffin of that twenty nineteen draft class. 543 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: But I mean, for me, it's the twenty twenty class, 544 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one class, the twenty twenty two class 545 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: this year that you know, we're going to really come 546 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: into focus and finally have some opportunities, Richard writes in 547 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 1: pointing out Madden, which hopefully we'll be getting soon. Paul, 548 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: that's that's one of my favorite parts of the year. Yeah. 549 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: Just you know, as a point of fact, if I 550 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: start tweeting out Madden numbers like I've been seeing on 551 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: my Twitter feed today, just you know, you feel free 552 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: to just take whatever brand of gun you have and 553 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: just shoot me right in the head and put me 554 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: out of my misery. Well, well, Richard's got one for you, 555 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: the tycon Thorne only ninety five Speed, only ninety five Speed, 556 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: um ran A four two eight and um But I 557 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: know we have some fun with all these numbers. Right, Like, 558 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: all this stuff comes out and you kind of use 559 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: it as a gauge. Now we're bitching about Madden numbers. Yeah, 560 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: they didn't. They didn't do the the risk size though. 561 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: That's not that's not something that that comes into the 562 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: Madden ratings. Imagine if that just was implemented this year. 563 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: The highest rated receiver they had was Hunter Henry. Yeah, 564 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: out of you know, they were all basically bunched together 565 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: in the low eighties, it was Henry born Parker. But 566 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: no Henry Parker born Agilore Myers. We're all between eighty 567 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: eighty and eighty four something like that, with Henry being 568 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: one of the only guys I think, the only guy 569 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 1: right that snuck into any of those top ten. Yeah, 570 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: he tied ten. And would you say he had he 571 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 1: had about what you what you would expect from him 572 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: last year? Yeah, yeah, I would say so. I think 573 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: he met expectations. He played well. I thought nine touchdowns. 574 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: I think you'll sign up for that again this year, right, 575 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: I will. And Jonah Smith also received some votes among 576 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: the honorable mentions of that tight end group. But those 577 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: are the only two Patriots to appear at all. Something 578 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: like I think I made the comment to you guys 579 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: last week and Alex, I don't think you were here 580 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: when we did this. But so ESPN does these these 581 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: lists and they're, you know, polling fifty random coaches, executives, 582 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: you know, different kind of NFL people, And I was 583 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: little my eyes were opened by the lack of presence 584 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: for any of the Patriots four safeties. And there was 585 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: twenty three different safeties that received mentioning. It was a 586 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: top ten, there was the best of the rest, and 587 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: then were honorable mentions. So those are basically if you 588 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: got a vote at all. Twenty three different safeties got 589 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: votes and none of them were Patriots. I was really 590 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: surprised by that. Is that what it is? I was 591 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 1: I was wondering after Tuesday's show when we were talking 592 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: about this, like, is it a set number of people 593 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: that are pulled? Is it fifty? Is it? Like? How 594 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: where's the representation coming from? I'd love more of that 595 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 1: across the league. And it's, like I said, it's it's all, 596 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: but like to me, it's much more valuable than you know, 597 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: John Smith from Pro Football Focus or you know Bill 598 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: Jones from some other you know, Warren Sharp Site and 599 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: Warren Sharp had these rankings too, And no disrespect for 600 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: the analytics. Believe me, I just as many times as 601 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: I you know, sort of poked fun at the end. Analytics. 602 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: No disrespect for what they're doing. But those are just 603 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: strictly numbers based in there. It's data. This is the 604 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: opinion of people in the league. You're calling them nerds. No, 605 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: I'm not not at all they are, but I'm not 606 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: calling them that. Um Again, this is I put more 607 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: stocked into you know, Bill Belichick's opinion as opposed to 608 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: pro football focuses, if that makes sense some random writer 609 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: who you know what I mean. And I'm not suggesting 610 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick is one of the coaches that's doing 611 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: this ranking, but I'm saying that's it's football people and 612 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: this is what they think. And I was, you know, four, 613 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: you have four safeties to me that were candidates to 614 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: be among the top ten, and none of them were. 615 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: I was a little surprised by that. Well, I appreciate 616 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: Cody sending in a game, but I'm quickly realizing it's 617 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: like a Patriot's Deep Dive history game and you might 618 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: gike a table it and go later if you want. Yeah, 619 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: maybe we'll say, maybe you want to do it now, 620 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,719 Speaker 1: you know, usually better after I eat. But yeah, well 621 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: we'll say we'll say the game because there are some 622 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: other good football ones. Um. Matt writing in and you know, 623 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: drawing on the conversation we had last week about Drew 624 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: Brees and he's just wondering if we think that Peyton 625 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: Manning and Aaron Rodgers are overrated, especially with the teams 626 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: that Manning had with the Colts for that era and 627 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: only got one ring, lots of disappointing. Do you think 628 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: he was better than Tom Brady? Um? I think it's 629 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: a there's a nuance to that question that I think 630 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: if you designed a quarterback in a lab, it would 631 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: be Peyton Mane. But what I'm saying, do you think 632 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: that the emailer thinks that Tom Brady was better than 633 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning? Probably? Then why is it a disappointment that 634 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: he only won one ring? Yeah, he had to get 635 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: past Tom Brady. Did he win too? Yeah, he actually 636 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: does have two rings. But are he's talking about the Colts? Yeah? 637 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: I mean, like I, I don't think that that Manning 638 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: or Rodgers is overrated. I would take Brady over both 639 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: of those guys. And I really wouldn't have to think 640 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: too much about it, because I think there's an intangible 641 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: quality about Brady that I've not really ever seen with 642 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: anybody else. I'm not telling you that Rogers is I 643 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: kind of am telling you. I don't think Rogers is clutch. 644 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: I think Manning is clutch. I think Manning has a 645 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: reputation because they had so many really disappointing losses in 646 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs that somehow, you know how we remember we 647 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: talked last week about some guys just have like great 648 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: fortune and some guys, you know, have different things that 649 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: happened to them, you know that really has nothing to 650 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,719 Speaker 1: do with their ability. Peyton Manning has an incredible amount 651 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: of bad fortune tied to a lot of his losses. 652 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: And I'm not telling you he's always been off the hook. 653 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: I was watching Pittsburgh loss, but I was watching on 654 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: NFL Network the other day. They were showing the Ravens 655 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: Broncos playoff game. Year the Ravens won the Super Bowl, 656 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: And yeah, like part of it is on Manning because 657 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: he throws a terrible interception in overtime, and it was 658 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: he was rolling out to his right, throws back across 659 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: his body. He never on his best day had the 660 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: arm strength to do that stuff, and he did it 661 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: got picked off, and that's how they lost in overtime. 662 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: But don't you think it's an incredible amount of misfortune 663 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: to have that bomb that Flacco completes to tie the 664 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 1: game and oh, by the way, tie the game at 665 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: thirty five, right, and you lose. You put thirty five 666 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: points on the board and you end up losing, and 667 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: you lose ultimately because you throw an interception in overtime 668 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: that should have never even that should never even been 669 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: in overtime. And again I'm not absolving Manning of that. 670 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: He threw the pick like that's you know, part of 671 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: that is on him, whereas like other things happen, like 672 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: you know, Brady throws a horrendous pick in the Super 673 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: Bowl against Carolina and Carolina ultimately ties the game and 674 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: then the kicker kicks the ball out of bounce and 675 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: sets up the game winning field goal. For like, did 676 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: Brady make plays to set up that field goal? Absolutely? 677 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: He was balls. He made the throw to Troy Brown 678 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: to get him, you know, you know, way down there, 679 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: all of that stuff, you know, Brady, But if you 680 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: start from your own twenty as opposed to the forty. 681 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: Maybe you don't get in field goal range, maybe you 682 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: throw the pick in overtime. Yeah, you know, like some 683 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: of that is just greatness, and some of it is 684 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: also good for like I look at now like Tampa Bay, 685 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: when when Brady went to Tampa Bay, the NFC South 686 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: was a really solid division with with Drew Brees and 687 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. Now it's like the worst division in football. 688 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: Brady hasn't done anything, and like in two years, it's 689 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: like one of the worst divisions in football. Yeah, I 690 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: mean even the conference goal almost the entirety of his 691 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: time in the ANFC East, it was the worst division 692 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: in football. Yeah, yeah, I just I think back to 693 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: the Peyton Manning in five and oh six both, you 694 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: know both times in oh six, you know the O 695 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: seven team needed everything they could to come back against 696 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: that team. The Oh nine, the fourth and two game. 697 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: You know things change a little bit in ten. Well, 698 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: just like don't think about it, yeah right, because you 699 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 1: know that Brady has the upper hand on Manning head 700 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: to head, you know that? Is that true in the playoffs? No, 701 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: it's about even, right, I mean, you got them right. 702 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: The Mannings three and two. Yeah. Yeah, you know, so, 703 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: like I think there's this perception because the first impression 704 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: that we saw was Manning sort of succumbing to the 705 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: elements here in oh three and oh four and not 706 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,280 Speaker 1: playing well in the Patriots coming away with resounding wins. 707 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: Then the next three times they played in the playoffs, 708 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: Maning one. Yeah, and it makes you wonder in all 709 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 1: three of those times, Weather wasn't a factor. Yeah, and 710 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: in all of them, I mean maybe I think, I 711 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: mean it kind of came down to where they played, right, Like, 712 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's kind of what it was. One 713 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: of the biggest plays in the First Dynasty's history that 714 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: no one ever talks about is the goal line stand 715 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: play in Indian the O three regular season. If the 716 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: Colts score and win that game, the playoff game later 717 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: that year is played in Indian, not Fox Borrow. And 718 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: I think there's a whole different outcome. Yeah, I definitely 719 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: see Manning and Rogers in the same you know, just 720 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: family of and I know we're splitting hairs. We've talked 721 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: about this in the past where it's like you're talking 722 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: about Tom Brady, guy that went to Michigan, was drafted. 723 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a he's an elite athlete anyway you 724 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: want to cut it. But still it just feels like 725 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 1: Rogers and Peyton Manning are just perfectly constructed in a 726 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: you know, in a factory to be a quarterback. You know, 727 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: like they just they have they have everything. I mean 728 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: Rogers certainly, the athleticism of just you know, from the 729 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: talent that he has, that's what separates him. Um. But 730 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: I think he's the least clutch of them all right 731 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: out of those three. And that's Brady light years ahead 732 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: of Manning in the clutch department. But there were still, 733 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: like I said, those moments in the fourth and two 734 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: game where just it's like, and that's how Brady felt 735 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: times where it's like, if you give him a chance, 736 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: it's inevitable that they're going to move the ball, especially 737 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: on those Patriots defenses when they got there in the middle. Um. 738 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: But I don't know, I never I always appreciated Peyton Manning. 739 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 1: I think he's hilarious and I never had like this hate. 740 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: I just respected him against a great opponent when I 741 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: criticized Breese, and I had no idea when I did this. 742 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: I think you were on that show on Tuesday that 743 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: that was like huge on Thursday, and it's obviously carrying over. 744 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: I didn't mean to suggest that I think that Drew 745 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: Brees is not good. I think Drew Brees is one 746 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: of the great quarterbacks that's played. Yeah, I just don't 747 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: think he belongs in the category with those three generation 748 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks to like really come through the league at 749 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: the same time. So it's just it's just the crappy 750 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 1: lock of being with those guys. I don't remember being 751 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: really impressed with Drew Brees and oh two, yeah, when 752 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: the Patriots won the Super Bowl, and oh one, they 753 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 1: start off three and oh the following year in September, 754 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: it looks like they have a wagon. And then they 755 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: went to San Diego and Drew Brees like had a 756 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: really solid game as a young quarterback sort of finding 757 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: his way, and he was really you know, he didn't 758 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: light it up or anything, but it was it was 759 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: very brady like. He made all the plays when he 760 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: needed to make plays, and charges beat the Patriots and 761 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 1: that was sort of the start of a very average 762 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,839 Speaker 1: season for New England. But I would I remember being 763 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,879 Speaker 1: very impressed with a young Drew Brees in San Diego. Yeah, 764 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,839 Speaker 1: there's plenty to be impressed with him. I I think 765 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: not to say that I would. I would consider it 766 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,879 Speaker 1: a disappointment if mac Jones, you know, had a career 767 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: like Drew Brees. But what I worry about mac Jones 768 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 1: is just that he's going to have a similar problem 769 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: where he's a very good quarterback, but he's buried by 770 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 1: a number of outstanding, you know, transcendental kind of quarter 771 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: mac Jones turns out to have a career commensate with 772 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, not only will I be one thousand percent wrong, 773 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: but I will be thrilled. Yeah, And that's probably why 774 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: it's a bad example. But I think it's just a 775 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: little bit applicable that, you know, he had it had 776 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: Brees been you know, if it had Brees been an 777 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,240 Speaker 1: AFC quarterback in like twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, 778 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: like you know, in his prime, like he probably would 779 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 1: have been going head to head against the Patriots in 780 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: the AC Championship every year, you know. But it's just 781 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: the way that his career worked out where he was 782 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 1: in the NFC at the time. Matt Ryan was that, 783 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 1: you know, like they always had that was an opetitive 784 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 1: game at oh nine when when they went down in 785 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: New Wowans that was the infamous game that that was 786 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 1: Bill and Tom are caught on camera for that. I 787 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: just can't get these I just can't get these guys 788 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: to play the way we need to play. And I 789 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: mean that was just in the visceration Drew Brees just 790 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,760 Speaker 1: absolutely I think five touchdowns in that game. It's funny 791 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 1: too because in retrospect, like I remember that being like 792 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: that was. That was a beatdown, but still didn't really 793 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: compare to the beatdowns of the last thing. You know. 794 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: It's I think they think the Saints punted. Yeah, a 795 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,800 Speaker 1: good one from Speed. I think we can get we 796 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: can all get involved on this one before we got 797 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: go back to the phones here. But um, what's your 798 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: most embarrassing personal sports memory? For me, it was being 799 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: on the Skins team One day during a summer elementary 800 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: school basketball game, was overseen by some high school girls 801 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: subbing in for our normal coach. Being a little chubb store, 802 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,439 Speaker 1: I was, they're giggles at my failure to waste wrap 803 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 1: the ball. Echo of my ears to this day. I know, Mike, 804 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: You're right, I do feel your pain. You must each 805 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: have an all time personal sports mortification tail to share. 806 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 1: I'm trying to, uh, I mean, I unfortunately have a 807 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 1: lot of them. We've talked about shirts and skins a lot, 808 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: which is just, you know, terrible for young, chubby, middle 809 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: school esque boys. I saw, I'm with you, Spiel. I 810 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,280 Speaker 1: didn't like shirts and skins, but for not that same reason. 811 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: I was like, my arms are like pipe cleaners. I 812 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: didn't like that. See, I never would have thought skinny 813 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: arms that was. That was like, oh I had I 814 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: have no shoulders and I had skinny arms. I didn't 815 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,720 Speaker 1: didn't like what my shirt was off. It was flabby. 816 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: I think one that was kind of embarrassing for me, 817 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: and it's not really in the same universe. And I've 818 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: told Paul this one before. We were playing Babson and 819 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: hockey my junior year and I made a play at 820 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: center ice swiped at the puck and my stick just 821 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: kind of broken half and the blade like it was 822 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: one of those aluminums that you used to you know, 823 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 1: have to put the blade in, and the blade just 824 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 1: went up in the air and it came down and 825 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: just hit my defensive partner right in the head and 826 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: I lost my folks. I just started laughing kind of, 827 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: and then they went down and scored on us, and 828 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 1: then I didn't play the rest of the game. I 829 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: was I was just so mad at myself. But it 830 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: was like one of those random things where I was 831 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: just the blade is like like everyone in the place 832 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 1: is watching it, like where's it going? Just clocks my 833 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,800 Speaker 1: partner right in the head. That was kind of embarrassing. 834 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: Not quite the same, though, you know, any old own goals, 835 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: no no one goals that I at least remember that 836 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: were mortifying enough. I don't think so, though, though I 837 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: did play defense and probably was a candidate for that. 838 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: The worst things I can think of is I did 839 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: hurdling and track the four hundred hurdles and I ate 840 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: poop once and tripped right over. That was embarrassing because 841 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: I knew a lot of my friends were at my meat. 842 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: One time during a soccer game, I was so dehydrated 843 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 1: it was bad. I was like at the beach the 844 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: day before and I went to do a throwing and 845 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 1: both of my calfs cramped up mid throwing. The ball 846 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 1: like went straight up in the air and I just 847 00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: like fell in collapse, and no one knew it was 848 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 1: wrong with me, and it was just I had two 849 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: calf craps at the same time. Were you one of 850 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: those girls that does that, like flip throwing? I was 851 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: always I was always enamored with, Like I'm like, what 852 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 1: did that girl just do a flip? Like? How is 853 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: that legal? Everything? You know what I'm talking about. I 854 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: spent probably like three weeks one summer. One of my 855 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,880 Speaker 1: best friends since like first grade was an elite gymnast. 856 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: She went on to be on a Celtics cheerleader on 857 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 1: the Green team. So one day, during like a football 858 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,880 Speaker 1: game that was going on, her and I sat there 859 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 1: and I made her go through that front hand spring 860 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: thrown with me and I sprained my wrist, but I 861 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: almost had it. Almost doesn't count. I could do it 862 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,919 Speaker 1: without the ball, but it was the picking the ball 863 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 1: up on my way back up that I could never 864 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: quite get. Yeah, a couple of girls that could do it. 865 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: I was crazy. Watch let's go to the phones. I 866 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: believe this is William. Okay, that gives me time. I'm 867 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 1: gonna hardy this for a second and and we're out. 868 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 1: Sorry William, Sorry we missed you on that one. Sea Babe. 869 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: Ruth baseball game. So I think I was eighteen, and 870 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:05,919 Speaker 1: I'm playing left field and we're winning and last inning 871 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: two outs and a lefty hits like a high fly 872 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: ball to me. So the ball's kind of coming at 873 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: a funny angle off a left handed bat to left field, 874 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 1: and I thought it was like a routine flyball right 875 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 1: to me. And I'm sitting there camping and I can 876 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,919 Speaker 1: still remember one of my very best friends played center 877 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: field and he's going pip back, back back, and I'm like, 878 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,880 Speaker 1: what are you talking about. It's like right to me, 879 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, it starts coming down and 880 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: I realize I'm probably five to ten feet too shallow, 881 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: and now it's kind of too late to turn and 882 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: run back like you're supposed to. So I just start 883 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 1: backpedaling and my spike caught my stirrup, put a huge 884 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: hole in the back of my sanitary sock, and I 885 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 1: just went ass over tea kettle, falling back. As I'm 886 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: trying to reach back, it goes off the top of 887 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: my glove, one runs, goes two runs goal as Everett loses. 888 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 1: I thought you would have done the I I lost 889 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: it in the sun. I wish I wish it was 890 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: easily into you a point, Alex. There were like a 891 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: lot of girls there. Yeah, that's the thing. And I 892 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 1: was so in bed, Like when I went back in 893 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: to the stands, I was so embarrassed. I just wanted 894 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: to hide. Right. So now we're losing by one, and 895 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,839 Speaker 1: don't you know, we get like bases loaded one out 896 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, they're gonna bail me out. They're 897 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,800 Speaker 1: gonna bail me out here. We didn't. I actually just 898 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 1: thought of one. But I wasn't playing the game. I 899 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 1: was covering the Hoopaul Classic at the basketball or it 900 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: was at Springfield College. Are you guys familiar. So this 901 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: year in particular, it was like three years ago Brownie 902 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: James happened to be there, so Lebron came to Springfield. 903 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 1: So I was tasked, working for mass Live at the time, 904 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: with getting a photo of Lebron James when he walked 905 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 1: in quickly like uploading it, posting Lebron James spotted at 906 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 1: Hoopaul Classic. Whatever. So I just had to get that 907 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 1: picture taken, uploaded and put into the story as quick 908 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 1: as possible. And of course, right when Lebron walks in, 909 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 1: an arrant basketball from the AAU game comes flying at me. 910 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,760 Speaker 1: I have a Venti ice coffee right next to my keyboard. 911 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 1: Sideline smashes my coffee. It goes all over me and 912 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,319 Speaker 1: explodes as I'm taking the picture. Okay, so then I'm 913 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 1: just like, you know what, that sucks, but game face on. 914 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 1: Gott to just do my job, get this story. I'm 915 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 1: filled with coffee. But people from the stands are like, 916 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 1: oh my god, honey, like giving me like paper and 917 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: trying to like help me, and I'm like, you guys 918 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: need to get out of my way. I need to 919 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 1: get this done, like thank you, but stop. Like but 920 00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,719 Speaker 1: it was so embarrassing because I was just sitting there 921 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 1: covered in coffee and you didn't yell anything racist at 922 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: Lebron while you were while you were there, that whole thing. Yeah, 923 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 1: what's his deal? Oh god, I don't know. I don't know. 924 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,800 Speaker 1: It's a good question here from Joel. I like it. 925 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: I don't remember giving permission for a party Joel. Really 926 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: simple question though, and I think and he only asked, 927 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, what's the best way for the Patriots opponents 928 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 1: to attack the offense? I mean, I'd love to talk 929 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: about to how to how to attack the defense. But 930 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 1: you know, what do you think, Paul, what do you 931 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 1: think that? What would you do? He said? I mean, 932 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 1: obviously it's hard to tell exactly what you're gonna be 933 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: dealing with right now at this point. I would just 934 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 1: make them do something different, and I would do what 935 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 1: teams did for the most part in the second half 936 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 1: of last year, and I would get a lot of 937 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: bodies around the line of scrimmage. I would make sure 938 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 1: you stop the run first and foremost, and then make 939 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 1: them beat you over the top. Yeah, make them do 940 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: something that they didn't show the ability to do on 941 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 1: a consistent basis last year. And I think that's what 942 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 1: the Patriots offense is planning on, is to make a 943 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: concerted effort to throw the ball downfield more successfully than 944 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 1: they did last year. And the funny thing is is, 945 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,080 Speaker 1: and talk about this a lot weird, how I mean, 946 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 1: I don't won't say the opposite is true for the defense. 947 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 1: Run the ball and throw the ball short and just 948 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,280 Speaker 1: make them cover. You know, it's target these new linebackers, 949 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,279 Speaker 1: make these guys, you know, cover. It'll be interesting to see, 950 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 1: of course, I mean, how what are they going to 951 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,759 Speaker 1: do to play with it? They know everything we know. 952 00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,320 Speaker 1: I would just say, throw the ball, like I know 953 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 1: that they have a hard time stopping the run, but 954 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 1: I think you can throw the ball all over them. 955 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 1: And I think the teams that threw the ball well 956 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,680 Speaker 1: last year had all kinds of success against the Patriots. 957 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:13,239 Speaker 1: We've got a recommendation here from Alexander alex and Puckett 958 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 1: and uh, he's saying one of the best spots to 959 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 1: get tacos in Central Falls, Rhode Island. It's called El 960 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 1: Paso and the Berria b I R R. I can 961 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 1: roll my ars a little bit, the most authent best 962 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,640 Speaker 1: I have ever had. Um, that's a good one. Let's see. Uh, 963 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 1: we've got a question. Which side of the ball do 964 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 1: you think will be the achilles heel if the team 965 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 1: on a negative stuff? Uh, and we'll let the team down, 966 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 1: uh in crunch time. So who's gonna mess it all up? 967 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's equal parts. I know you 968 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 1: guys think it's defense. I think it'll be more disappointing 969 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,239 Speaker 1: if it's If it's defense, I think that will be frustrating, 970 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,480 Speaker 1: as if the offense actually does, you know, make some 971 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 1: strides and looks better and you know, it's it's the 972 00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 1: couple plays at the end that that that they can't 973 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: quite make with the defense. Um, that would be a 974 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: little bit more frustrating. I think the passing defense. How 975 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,239 Speaker 1: to the cornerbacks line up? You gotta lead, you gotta 976 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,720 Speaker 1: put the game away. Can you shut down these passing 977 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,319 Speaker 1: offenses and not let them get that last score? Uh? 978 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,759 Speaker 1: In the final minutes, we got Eldrid ringing in. Let's 979 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 1: let's bring him right on. Hey Eldred, what's up? Hey fellos? 980 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 1: How y'all doing good? Trying? I'm sorry that I missed 981 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 1: Thursday show. I wanted to talk to friends that Fred, 982 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 1: you were wrong about the draft process when the Kiel 983 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 1: was drafted. That nobody doing the draft? Yes, I did 984 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,840 Speaker 1: you know, Fred said nobody killed that draft pick. No, 985 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,439 Speaker 1: remember when you said, Uh. One of the callers called 986 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 1: in said, I wish we had the draft was day? 987 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 1: But did you say that doing draft day? Oh? And 988 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 1: I couldn't get in because I was awesome. I was. 989 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 1: I would have called draft day. I mean that that 990 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 1: was and Uh, Paul, you told me, no, get a 991 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: man a chance, get a chance? I did. I wanted 992 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: to be fair before I killed him. I wanted to 993 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,839 Speaker 1: see him. And then if you recall, I saw him 994 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 1: that spring and I was like, I don't like what 995 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 1: I see. Yeah, I liked what I saw walking onto 996 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 1: the field. That was like, that's my mine to kill him. 997 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 1: Harry Man was like, that pick would I don't. I 998 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 1: don't want to say universally panned, but that that was 999 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 1: a widely panned pick at the time. Eldred's not wrong. 1000 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 1: A lot of people, a lot of people didn't like 1001 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 1: that pick when they made you remember I said me 1002 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 1: and Beka, we wanted DK Metcalf, And I'm like, you know, 1003 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,919 Speaker 1: I think if if Brady hate him, he'd probably still 1004 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 1: be here or or McLaren, either one of those. Brady 1005 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,440 Speaker 1: probably still will be there or whatever. I think for 1006 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 1: another two years. You think they would have offered him 1007 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,959 Speaker 1: more money, more money, but like I said, I would 1008 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,520 Speaker 1: roll Tom Brady t roll what I did with a wheelchair. Yeah, 1009 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 1: I know, but they would have be the Pagriets offered 1010 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 1: him more money, he'd still be here Like that. I mean, 1011 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,880 Speaker 1: that's the question that no one knows the answer to. 1012 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,800 Speaker 1: Like if if DK Metcalf or Deebo Samuel was the 1013 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:01,319 Speaker 1: guy they picked instead of Harry. Yeah, that makes him 1014 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 1: more successful in twenty nineteen throwing the ball. But does 1015 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: that mean that they would have given him more money? 1016 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,680 Speaker 1: I don't know about that, when neither do things. I 1017 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 1: don't think Bill would have and I don't either. I 1018 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,799 Speaker 1: think gone he would have paid the routive either. After 1019 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 1: three years, Yeah, I think she brought that up about 1020 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 1: A J. Brown Man. Still he would he still be here, 1021 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 1: and I think there's a chance that he wouldn't be. 1022 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 1: And that's a good point too, because I think not 1023 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,320 Speaker 1: necessarily the disdain put it pretty visibly, did not like 1024 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 1: Nickel Harry very Once you're out, Once you're out, you're out. 1025 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: Good news, O, good news. But but there'stle thing I 1026 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,360 Speaker 1: called for, you know, book called up. But Pop, I 1027 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 1: think you ow me a lunch. What do I owe 1028 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 1: you a launch for? Because when we've said about this 1029 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 1: doing the draft class, and then I said, and I 1030 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,160 Speaker 1: told you everybody draft before he manth a who lot 1031 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,239 Speaker 1: better than McKiel. I said that Nick que you'd be 1032 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,239 Speaker 1: ready to fredom and you kept sing, oh, and I 1033 00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 1: was ready. I mean, you're right about that. I like, 1034 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,359 Speaker 1: I'm telling you I watched him, and that I watched 1035 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,719 Speaker 1: him that spring and I just said, this guy can't 1036 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 1: get open and I didn't like anything about him, but yeah, 1037 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 1: you're right. On draft day I said, give him a chance. 1038 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,400 Speaker 1: He's got measurables. Let's see if he can play, and 1039 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,839 Speaker 1: ultimately he couldn't. I don't think he worked really hard either, 1040 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, but that's just me. Hi, 1041 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,800 Speaker 1: the boss Man's back. The nightmares over. Well, you have 1042 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 1: a good one about later. Thanks Biggie. Thanks so I 1043 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,880 Speaker 1: think I owe Biggie lunch. I don't know why, but 1044 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 1: some bet that we made. Yeah, and if he can 1045 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,520 Speaker 1: produce the artist? Hi everybody, Hi Fred? What did I miss? 1046 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,480 Speaker 1: H We talked a little bit about patting ourselves in 1047 00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 1: the back of being the first. Did you play it? 1048 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,799 Speaker 1: I no, I don't think. I think I think Teas 1049 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:52,239 Speaker 1: might have it. Now play it? Go ahead. We're going 1050 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:57,800 Speaker 1: down memory lane here and given um Mark's uh lineage, 1051 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 1: do you did you know that? Basically? I think one 1052 00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,760 Speaker 1: of the first podcasts was launched by the New England 1053 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,959 Speaker 1: Patriots in August of two thousand. They did a show 1054 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 1: called PFW in Progress and it was a live show 1055 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,040 Speaker 1: that was recorded and you could get it on demand. 1056 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 1: At Patriots dot com. So I don't know if that 1057 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,640 Speaker 1: technically counts as a podcast, but I think that it 1058 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:22,719 Speaker 1: was one of the first, you know, or advise for 1059 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:29,680 Speaker 1: some space in the beginning of this of this form. 1060 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,839 Speaker 1: I think it interestingly that's the year. That's the year 1061 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,560 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was drafted to everyone sort of credits him 1062 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,760 Speaker 1: for turning the fortunes of the Patriots around after years 1063 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,440 Speaker 1: of an aptitude. But maybe it was the podcast. So 1064 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 1: so just you know, just to I don't know if 1065 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,320 Speaker 1: you guys talk about but those two people, John Dickerson 1066 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,840 Speaker 1: is these faced the nation's CBS, you know, and the 1067 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,560 Speaker 1: other guys, Mark Leeviovitch who has like a number one 1068 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,400 Speaker 1: bestseller on New York Times right now. And they're not 1069 00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,560 Speaker 1: sports guys. These are news guys, you know. And oh 1070 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 1: really I just thought it was until no, but I 1071 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 1: thought it was just amazing that they would even know that. Well, 1072 00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 1: Alex went right over to uh to Wicked Wikipedia and 1073 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 1: they have it there too. They mentioned it. It's like 1074 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,480 Speaker 1: the first blurb, yeah, the history of podcasting. Yeah, you 1075 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,720 Speaker 1: scroll down and the first thing is about the RSS 1076 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,919 Speaker 1: connection and that technology. The second thing is the first 1077 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,399 Speaker 1: on demand radio show in the first podcast and where 1078 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,040 Speaker 1: the first I think I put that up there a 1079 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 1: curt Well to be honest, the first you know, um 1080 00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,160 Speaker 1: and I got this from Wikipedia too, so I don't know, uh, 1081 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,320 Speaker 1: but the first like IP type of show like that 1082 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 1: was like this Vinyl underground show. But they've since stopped, 1083 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,960 Speaker 1: so I know for a fact we're the longest continuous one. 1084 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,400 Speaker 1: Now we changed from PFW Progress to Pictures on Filtered, 1085 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,919 Speaker 1: but it's still the same show, you know, So we're 1086 00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 1: the longest continuous I know that for a fact. I 1087 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 1: have a long question. I've always wondered, what was like 1088 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,279 Speaker 1: the thing behind PFW in Progress. Was that like naming 1089 00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:06,920 Speaker 1: it that, like this is kind of a show we 1090 00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:11,560 Speaker 1: do while we're putting the together. Know. The idea was, 1091 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 1: you know, we were the newspaper, so but we're gonna 1092 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 1: do this radio show while we're doing the newspaper. So 1093 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,360 Speaker 1: while we're doing stuff, we're gonna have this show. So 1094 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,360 Speaker 1: it was like Pages Football Weekly, which is the newspaper 1095 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,640 Speaker 1: in progress. And it started it was like once a 1096 00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,400 Speaker 1: week for one hour. Yeah, then we started going twice 1097 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 1: a week, then we went two hours, then we went 1098 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,000 Speaker 1: three times a week. In the during the season, so 1099 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 1: it was like we're expanding, we're taking time off to 1100 00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 1: do this show, so we're in progress. It doesn't even 1101 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 1: work that I didn't account is working, right, But at 1102 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,000 Speaker 1: the time it was like another thing that we had 1103 00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 1: to do. Now, obviously we don't do the newspaper anymore, 1104 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,320 Speaker 1: but at the time it was like, you know, we 1105 00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,960 Speaker 1: would sort of spitball ideas, what we what we're going 1106 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:51,480 Speaker 1: to work on this week. That was sort of the 1107 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,760 Speaker 1: premise of why we started it was it's the newspaper 1108 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,560 Speaker 1: in progress, and it was like our little meetings, so 1109 00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 1: the idea, like we talk about what we're doing so 1110 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,200 Speaker 1: people get it behind the scenes, look at our planning 1111 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,800 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. It just kept going, like I 1112 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 1: still like that name. Yeah, to me, it rolls off 1113 00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,200 Speaker 1: the time. I think I progress. Yeah, I think it's 1114 00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 1: a much better name. And remember I fought you on it. 1115 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 1: Actually you just keep him, just keep it, Paul. You 1116 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:15,600 Speaker 1: must have been so what do you think You must 1117 00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:20,759 Speaker 1: have enjoyed it like it Yeah, but that must have 1118 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,160 Speaker 1: been fun for you. I mean, I know you got 1119 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,279 Speaker 1: like to do this right when it started, and all 1120 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,000 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the first day we did it at 1121 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:27,879 Speaker 1: like once a week for an hour. You you could 1122 00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:29,800 Speaker 1: do twelve hours a week and it was great. And 1123 00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,200 Speaker 1: Brian and Brian and I used to go at it 1124 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,719 Speaker 1: like and dogs. It was great. It was great. So 1125 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 1: you also started fighting on the radio as well. Oh 1126 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 1: I've been fighting. I mean I think Paul Parillo wait 1127 00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 1: a minute now, I think I think this also might 1128 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:45,960 Speaker 1: be another first. Oh, I was the first F bomb. 1129 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 1: I think Paul might have question thrown out. The first 1130 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:50,920 Speaker 1: F bomb on IP radio is no question. And I 1131 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 1: wish that the old soundboard that we had has since fried, 1132 00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 1: and a lot of great stuff that was on it 1133 00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,600 Speaker 1: was dropped. But Gary Goodecki, who was our producer at 1134 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,840 Speaker 1: the time, put together, you know, like the great moments 1135 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:06,440 Speaker 1: and that Matt does. He put together a great recap 1136 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,920 Speaker 1: of the fight. And it's like Brian and I going 1137 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:10,920 Speaker 1: back and forth, and we start off so calm, and 1138 00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,440 Speaker 1: we're making points and he's making a point and I'm 1139 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,759 Speaker 1: going back, we're countering, and all of a sudden, I'm 1140 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,440 Speaker 1: like slamming the table and I'm like, and I so 1141 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:25,840 Speaker 1: can't wait till a week sixteen. And you know, the 1142 00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 1: worst part of it, The whole thing was I was wrong, 1143 00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,040 Speaker 1: but you know they won the Super Bowl. Brian has 1144 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 1: a way of arguing that really gets under your skin. 1145 00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 1: Oh I've heard that brought up a lot. Yeah, Brian 1146 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:41,239 Speaker 1: has a way of belittling every opinion that's not his, 1147 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:43,160 Speaker 1: kind of like a lot of other people on that 1148 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:47,080 Speaker 1: side of you. But I believe that one it was 1149 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,560 Speaker 1: Brian and Andy like that must have been a combustible cold. 1150 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,879 Speaker 1: Oh yes, they didn't really. Were they ever together that much? Yeah, 1151 00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 1: the three of us were together a lot. Andy, No, 1152 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,560 Speaker 1: that'd be four of us. No, But I mean, yeah, 1153 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:03,360 Speaker 1: that a so so. Brian Ryan was the editor, I 1154 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,799 Speaker 1: was the assistant, and Andy was the staff writer at 1155 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,000 Speaker 1: that time. Okay, I just I don't remember a lot 1156 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,160 Speaker 1: of shows with Andy and Brian. Why what am I 1157 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,000 Speaker 1: missing here? Because I always remember Brian sitting right there 1158 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:19,319 Speaker 1: before Andy, right where Deuce is sitting right now. Yeah. 1159 00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:23,280 Speaker 1: I don't think Brian did a tremendous amount of shows here. Okay, 1160 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 1: it was probably only like a year or two that 1161 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,200 Speaker 1: he was I just remember that one time I was 1162 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,399 Speaker 1: talking about an offensive lineman. He had the media guide 1163 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,520 Speaker 1: and he was left guard, left guard, left, left guard left. 1164 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,200 Speaker 1: That was the prototypical and that was Fred, not me. Yeah, 1165 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 1: I thought Fred was going to kill him that day. 1166 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,000 Speaker 1: But Fred has gotten to that point with Andy millions 1167 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,480 Speaker 1: of no, but he's he was right. But the way 1168 00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:42,399 Speaker 1: he did it, you know, like I was talking about 1169 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,680 Speaker 1: somebody playing the tone issue like a different position, and 1170 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,840 Speaker 1: I said, I said, I said, I figured who the 1171 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:51,279 Speaker 1: player was. I said, he's played other positions, and I said, 1172 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 1: I think he's played guard and Brian just got the 1173 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,399 Speaker 1: meeting game left guard, right left guard, left guard, left guard, 1174 00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,439 Speaker 1: left guard, every game he played guard. There was thinking 1175 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,440 Speaker 1: there was. It was like the whole position versatility thing 1176 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: that drives me crazy when the guy only plays one spot. 1177 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 1: That was what it was. Or Fred was like doing 1178 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,760 Speaker 1: one of those Like Fred wasn't like being overly specific, 1179 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,960 Speaker 1: and Brian just like he attacked like a pit. Oh yeah, 1180 00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:14,839 Speaker 1: because he had his media guy in front of him 1181 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,560 Speaker 1: and he's you know, bad as if that's you know, 1182 00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:23,320 Speaker 1: always accurate. Oh that took a turn. So what else 1183 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 1: any anything else but that? That's that clip is great. 1184 00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 1: I mean, like again, John Dickerson, We've always known it, 1185 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,320 Speaker 1: but now we have proof he's faced the nation. It's 1186 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,520 Speaker 1: like that he must be a Patriots fan though, right, 1187 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,760 Speaker 1: why would he answering everybody question? It's just how did 1188 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 1: they get on? Unless he just went on wicked because 1189 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,680 Speaker 1: he didn't seem sure he probably I mean that would yeah, 1190 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 1: that would be unfortunate pulling the string. Yeah, scene Uh no, 1191 00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 1: I would just you know, getting excited for cam talk 1192 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,280 Speaker 1: a little bit about pup and and and you know, 1193 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 1: potential injury guys that you're looking forward to seeing. Yeah 1194 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 1: what uh, you know some some fairly mundane uh you know, observation, 1195 00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,880 Speaker 1: but record project predictions of you know, what's the ceiling. 1196 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:04,960 Speaker 1: You know, we're just saying, you know, the height of 1197 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,919 Speaker 1: the ceiling right now is like eleven wins. I don't 1198 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:10,160 Speaker 1: think there's anybody, anybody really, even the most positive kind 1199 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 1: of Patriots people, projecting more than that. I don't know 1200 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 1: how you get there. But yeah, it's uh, what else 1201 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 1: are we talking about? Yeah, I mean, you know, like 1202 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 1: I always try to see through the through rose colored glasses, 1203 00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:23,680 Speaker 1: and I think where my glasses started losing the rose 1204 00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 1: color was with injuries. You know, like I would always 1205 00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:28,200 Speaker 1: be like I would be hurt, and I'd be like 1206 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,920 Speaker 1: I'd always be optimistic. Oh, he'll be back in two 1207 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,560 Speaker 1: weeks or he'll be and it and I just get, 1208 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, getting disappointed over and over again, where I realize, 1209 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,360 Speaker 1: you know, these things take longer than I hope that 1210 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,160 Speaker 1: Frank came in my office thing he goes, could could 1211 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,440 Speaker 1: you pitch with a broken pinky? Said absolutely not. I 1212 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,080 Speaker 1: still think you can. I said, that would kill um. 1213 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,520 Speaker 1: But I think overall, like you know, over twenty eight 1214 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 1: years of being here, like I think, I have a 1215 00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,919 Speaker 1: pretty good sense of things, and like you know, we've 1216 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,240 Speaker 1: seen good teams in the beginning of season who end 1217 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,480 Speaker 1: up being good, and this isn't one of them. Right now. 1218 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:10,240 Speaker 1: You know, this would be a major surprise that one. No, 1219 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm not changing my tune. I know this would be 1220 00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,480 Speaker 1: a major surprise, a good one if they ended up 1221 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,360 Speaker 1: winning eleven games or more. I think everybody would be 1222 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,840 Speaker 1: really happy in surprise. But I don't see it like 1223 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 1: you know, Like I think. What I'm trying to say 1224 00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,920 Speaker 1: is you get indications of things, and we're not getting 1225 00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 1: that right now. Yeah, we're not getting those indications. And 1226 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:34,760 Speaker 1: one of the things that you know, I don't think 1227 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,000 Speaker 1: the schedule, like the individual teams of the schedule, I 1228 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,120 Speaker 1: don't think it's overly daunting. I think it's the middle 1229 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:40,920 Speaker 1: of the road schedule. But I do think the way 1230 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 1: it's set up, there are some pockets that are going 1231 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:45,840 Speaker 1: to make life difficult. And I even look at the 1232 00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,600 Speaker 1: very beginning, I I you know, somewhere in the back 1233 00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,200 Speaker 1: of my mind, I still think Bill is that guy, right, 1234 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,480 Speaker 1: he can all of a sudden, they're gonna you know, 1235 00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,160 Speaker 1: we just kind of touched on it with the offense, right, Mike, 1236 00:59:58,080 --> 00:59:59,920 Speaker 1: Maybe they're gonna do some things that are different. May 1237 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna push it downfield. So I could see them 1238 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,600 Speaker 1: maybe surprising offensively coming out of the gates and maybe 1239 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,560 Speaker 1: being a little better, more high power than a lot 1240 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,360 Speaker 1: of people think. And maybe you can steal some wins 1241 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:12,840 Speaker 1: that way. But then you look and you're like at 1242 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:16,840 Speaker 1: Miami at Pittsburgh home against Baltimore at Green Bay, Like, 1243 01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 1: even if that happens, is that enough to win and 1244 01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,800 Speaker 1: more than two of those games, or maybe even more 1245 01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:24,880 Speaker 1: than one. And here's the other thing. You know, we 1246 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,640 Speaker 1: have to as Patriots fans, we have to change the 1247 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 1: way we look at the schedule because in the past, 1248 01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,160 Speaker 1: you look at the schedule, go this is you know, 1249 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,880 Speaker 1: relatively easy schedule because we were really good, right you know, 1250 01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,760 Speaker 1: now you might be right, like overall the teams may 1251 01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,160 Speaker 1: not all be you know, world beaters, but this is 1252 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,040 Speaker 1: this is another Patriots team. Every one of these games 1253 01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 1: are going to be dark. And when I say it's 1254 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,200 Speaker 1: it's middle of the road, I'm just going strictly by numbers. Yeah, 1255 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,880 Speaker 1: like yeah, right, they're they're they're combined opponent records below 1256 01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,320 Speaker 1: five hundred, But that doesn't mean anything. But for a 1257 01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 1: middle of the road team, which the Patriots are, it's 1258 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:04,080 Speaker 1: gonna be tough. You're no longer the Patriots with Tom Brady, 1259 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 1: and you know where you can look at the schedule 1260 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,320 Speaker 1: and go win when when when when maybe a lost 1261 01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:11,880 Speaker 1: win when you know you can't do that anymore. I 1262 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,160 Speaker 1: just think there's as many questions going into this season 1263 01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,280 Speaker 1: as you probably have had in the last twenty years. 1264 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:18,440 Speaker 1: And all those times that you had those questions, you 1265 01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,120 Speaker 1: knew you had Tom Brady. So even if you had 1266 01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,560 Speaker 1: a terrible defense twenty ten, twenty eleven, you know you're 1267 01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,160 Speaker 1: still gonna get an MVP quality season out of that 1268 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,680 Speaker 1: guy and maybe end up in the super Bowl. The 1269 01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 1: league's better now you know that you just well and 1270 01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,120 Speaker 1: and you're right, it's it was mostly Brady, but it 1271 01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,760 Speaker 1: was even core defensive players. You always had, like those 1272 01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 1: core players from year to year that you knew what 1273 01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:45,280 Speaker 1: you were getting on defense. And that's you know where 1274 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,880 Speaker 1: I'm worried this year. I don't see that, you know, 1275 01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,720 Speaker 1: like Barmore is a core player. He's in his second year. 1276 01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,760 Speaker 1: You know, matt Judon needs to be a core player. 1277 01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,120 Speaker 1: He had a good first half of the year last year, 1278 01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,720 Speaker 1: and then there's a lot of questions so much as 1279 01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,640 Speaker 1: colored by that second half of the season, especially with 1280 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,360 Speaker 1: jud because Eddie finished better or just at least kind 1281 01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,640 Speaker 1: of kept the pace that he had. You'd be all right, well, 1282 01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,440 Speaker 1: we got one piece that we know we can count on. 1283 01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,680 Speaker 1: You know. I think now even people are like, what 1284 01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:13,600 Speaker 1: do we really have with Matthew Judo? You know, is 1285 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,920 Speaker 1: he ready to step up and lead that kind of 1286 01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,840 Speaker 1: unit and be a productive player every every game we've 1287 01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,200 Speaker 1: won a week eighteen, it's it's and you mentioned Barmore. 1288 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:23,920 Speaker 1: I think that's what I'm kind of holding my breath 1289 01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 1: a little bit going into the season, being like guys 1290 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,560 Speaker 1: have to step up, like like there needs to be 1291 01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:31,600 Speaker 1: some new faces out there being like, who this guy's 1292 01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:33,240 Speaker 1: really shown up And that's just not something you've seen 1293 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,040 Speaker 1: other than maybe Mac and Barmore a little bit last year. 1294 01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:37,560 Speaker 1: Just not something you've seen a lot. I mean, if 1295 01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,280 Speaker 1: it's Jes Barmour, teams aren't gonna let him ruin the game. 1296 01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,760 Speaker 1: They're gonna focus on him and they're gonna make it 1297 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:45,240 Speaker 1: tough on him. He needs help. Yeah, So I did 1298 01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:48,160 Speaker 1: a little TV last week, cheap plug. It's already done, 1299 01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,200 Speaker 1: so it's not really a plug. Last Friday, while I 1300 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 1: was with NBC Sports Boston and our buddy Phil Perry, 1301 01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,920 Speaker 1: he is really really high on vermondre Stevenson. Great. You know, 1302 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,720 Speaker 1: he thinks that that's a guy that could really emerge 1303 01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,320 Speaker 1: as a dangerous Well now you're talking offense, and I'm I'm, 1304 01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 1: like I said, I'm bullish on the offense. I think 1305 01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 1: we've got a lot to work with there. I do. 1306 01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,320 Speaker 1: But again, I'd like to ask Phil that question that 1307 01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:14,720 Speaker 1: we that I ask of vermonder season. Is the backfield 1308 01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:16,600 Speaker 1: set up in a way that one player can have 1309 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,840 Speaker 1: enough success to truly make a huge difference on the team, 1310 01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:21,920 Speaker 1: or is no matter how good he is, he's only 1311 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,240 Speaker 1: going to have maybe two or three games where he 1312 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:27,479 Speaker 1: really makes an impact and otherwise it wasn't really his game. 1313 01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:29,200 Speaker 1: Harris kind of had a good game, you know, Like 1314 01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:32,080 Speaker 1: I just I wonder how they could ever get to 1315 01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:35,080 Speaker 1: a point where every week you're like big game for vermondr. Stevens, 1316 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,000 Speaker 1: and it feels like it's going to be by committee 1317 01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,240 Speaker 1: and each week somebody else is going to kind of 1318 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:40,920 Speaker 1: step up. And and I'm not saying I like this, 1319 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,200 Speaker 1: like I would rather have like an awesome one running 1320 01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,120 Speaker 1: back that I know you and he gets hurt, But 1321 01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:51,280 Speaker 1: think about think about the best running backs in the league. Okay, 1322 01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,960 Speaker 1: and there's only probably one or two. You know, Um, 1323 01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:00,440 Speaker 1: you know McCaffrey when he's healthy. What's his face over 1324 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,880 Speaker 1: in the Titans, Henry, Yeah, Henry. There's not a lot 1325 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:07,680 Speaker 1: of running backs that can are that have that type 1326 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:11,040 Speaker 1: of influence. But you know, even those guys, but even 1327 01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,240 Speaker 1: those guys, did you even see Steams and making the 1328 01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,160 Speaker 1: impact that that Taylor or or Taylor had a better 1329 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,520 Speaker 1: year than anybody? Yeah he did, but they didn't make 1330 01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:21,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs. No, but not because of him. No, But 1331 01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,240 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. They had a terrible quarterback. And 1332 01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 1: if you have a terrible quarterback, you're not gonna make 1333 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,919 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Right, So Romandre Stevenson has a great year. Great, 1334 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,320 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of other things that have to 1335 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,640 Speaker 1: happen for this team to why I'm not big on 1336 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,000 Speaker 1: running backs, Yeah, because they can't do it. You know, 1337 01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,720 Speaker 1: if you have a really good quarterback, you know, with 1338 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:42,920 Speaker 1: very few exceptions, you're probably going to have a pretty 1339 01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:46,760 Speaker 1: successful It's it's about Mac. It's it starts with Mac. 1340 01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,680 Speaker 1: You know, he's got to make that year to jump 1341 01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,760 Speaker 1: and that's what you know, it was gonna make the 1342 01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:58,080 Speaker 1: offense good and then then then the defense is big questions. 1343 01:04:58,360 --> 01:04:59,600 Speaker 1: You just want to get to the point where the 1344 01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:01,440 Speaker 1: defense can't let you down, like you at least we 1345 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:03,120 Speaker 1: had a chance at the end, you know, like at 1346 01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,600 Speaker 1: least to get that opportunity, Like you'll take some thirty 1347 01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:08,520 Speaker 1: four to twenty eight losses, right, you know. I just 1348 01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,720 Speaker 1: like remember, like there was that age old question like 1349 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:16,600 Speaker 1: would you rather be you know, up by a point 1350 01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:20,280 Speaker 1: with two minutes to go or down by two points 1351 01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,120 Speaker 1: with two minutes to go? And with Brady, you'd want 1352 01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:26,160 Speaker 1: to be down every time? Every time I want I'd 1353 01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,280 Speaker 1: want to be down even now, Yeah, because because you 1354 01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,200 Speaker 1: knew you were going to get into field goal position 1355 01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,560 Speaker 1: at worse, you know, and so that's where you wanted 1356 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,840 Speaker 1: this offense to get to. I used to make the argument, 1357 01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:38,400 Speaker 1: would you rather be up to and the other team 1358 01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,400 Speaker 1: has the ball, or down four and you have the ball? 1359 01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:45,680 Speaker 1: That's even tougher. I would take the ball with with 1360 01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,040 Speaker 1: Brady ever period. But the other team's going to get 1361 01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,320 Speaker 1: a field goal. I can't rely on them missing it 1362 01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,480 Speaker 1: right right right, Like I'd rather have the ball and 1363 01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:56,320 Speaker 1: have a chance to go down score and win. Yeah 1364 01:05:56,880 --> 01:06:00,840 Speaker 1: every time. I don't care who my quarterback is. Yeah, yeah, 1365 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:10,600 Speaker 1: So what are we doing? Random guys just coming it's Matt. No, 1366 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:12,440 Speaker 1: I know it's not a random guy. It's no sucks. 1367 01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,520 Speaker 1: Uh but yeah. I mean we're also kind of discussing 1368 01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,320 Speaker 1: just how much can you really take from training camp, 1369 01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:20,520 Speaker 1: Like how much actually really translates. I mean, I think 1370 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:22,800 Speaker 1: Mac last year you had a pretty good all right, 1371 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,360 Speaker 1: he looks good bar more. I think when the one 1372 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:26,440 Speaker 1: on ones and that he looked like a handful. But 1373 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,240 Speaker 1: you know, trying to extrapolate schemes and who's gonna pop 1374 01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,200 Speaker 1: and you know, it's like the UCH thing last year 1375 01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:33,720 Speaker 1: where it's like we'll be able to do that you 1376 01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 1: know would be good. It's hard. It's hard when they're 1377 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:40,000 Speaker 1: getting pressure and nobody's blocking or you know, they're all 1378 01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,800 Speaker 1: in you know, shirts and shells and you know. But 1379 01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,880 Speaker 1: I'm still excited to get out there. And finally, could 1380 01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,080 Speaker 1: you order anything? Get I can't. I'm on a diet. 1381 01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:52,520 Speaker 1: You're staying strong. I've started my diet. Okay, you didn't 1382 01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 1: have to just ignore my system? Yeah, but what's what's 1383 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,240 Speaker 1: their thing? Like, what's their philosophy? Well, no, the shakes 1384 01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,440 Speaker 1: are snacks, but like I don't know what the philosophies. 1385 01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:04,320 Speaker 1: But you order food and you pay them and if 1386 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 1: you and they say, if you do what we tell 1387 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,880 Speaker 1: you to do, you will lose weight, which every diet. Yeah, 1388 01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:11,720 Speaker 1: that's true of if you do what they tell you 1389 01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 1: to do. But can you maintain it? Right? Can you 1390 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:16,960 Speaker 1: maintain it? You know if you come off of it, like, 1391 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,520 Speaker 1: are you able to maintain We'll see. My goal is 1392 01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,680 Speaker 1: to lose thirty pounds in two months. You know, you 1393 01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:26,480 Speaker 1: maybe put wear like a rubber shirt during the PPU 1394 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:30,280 Speaker 1: shows out like you out no time, No, just go 1395 01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:33,560 Speaker 1: into the fitness center, do the treadmill walk for a 1396 01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:37,680 Speaker 1: half hour on incline twelve speed three for thirty minutes 1397 01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:40,720 Speaker 1: every day. Yeah, that's okay, that's quite an incline. But 1398 01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,640 Speaker 1: you still have to eat time. But you still have 1399 01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:46,240 Speaker 1: to eat right, right, You still have to eat right. Yeah, 1400 01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,240 Speaker 1: of course. Yeah, but that's my diet anyway, So I 1401 01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,680 Speaker 1: don't know what the yeah. So I mean, if you're 1402 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,120 Speaker 1: already eating right, then great, any exercise is really going 1403 01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,439 Speaker 1: to help you. But if you don't eat right, you're screwed. Yeah, 1404 01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,760 Speaker 1: in so many health foods are just like fake health 1405 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:05,320 Speaker 1: foods and pre prepared and processed. And that's why I'm 1406 01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,360 Speaker 1: asking you these questions about your shakes. I think I 1407 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:12,480 Speaker 1: think shakes. Yeah, well, I think my thing is portions. 1408 01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:15,000 Speaker 1: You know, I don't always have to get the twenty 1409 01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,800 Speaker 1: four rounds steak. I could get a twelve ounce steak, 1410 01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:21,559 Speaker 1: you know, just get the half rack of ribs. Yeah right, Paul, 1411 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:26,200 Speaker 1: what all right, we'll take a break right now, and 1412 01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:30,040 Speaker 1: when we come back, Mark calls an email.

It's the Celtics. 1631 01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:38,599 Speaker 1: That's what I was trying to tell you all these 1632 01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:40,599 Speaker 1: years with the Patriots. When you would say the other 1633 01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:43,200 Speaker 1: teams staken, I say, well, maybe the Patriots had something 1634 01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:46,000 Speaker 1: to do with it, but now not. Now you have 1635 01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:48,280 Speaker 1: that take. Wait a minute, and I'm glad you've come around. 1636 01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:49,840 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, and I agree with you a take 1637 01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,439 Speaker 1: on the Patriots. And I always have no in games 1638 01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:56,320 Speaker 1: you and Andy and playoff sucks the Pats. You're you're 1639 01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,160 Speaker 1: making two different arguments. The league does what happens at 1640 01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,800 Speaker 1: the end of the The league does suck by and large, 1641 01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:04,280 Speaker 1: and teams give games away. But you can't tell me 1642 01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,600 Speaker 1: they won six Super Bowls because the other team sucked. No, 1643 01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:09,439 Speaker 1: that's stupid. That's what you guys used to say. Never 1644 01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:12,479 Speaker 1: once that I little super Bowl. The other team sucked. 1645 01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,559 Speaker 1: I would I would give credit to the other team 1646 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,240 Speaker 1: and the Patriots having beaten that team. You would take 1647 01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:20,040 Speaker 1: away from the Patriots by diminishing the other team. I 1648 01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:23,400 Speaker 1: would take away again and again when when they get 1649 01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:26,479 Speaker 1: dominated by like the Cleveland Browns and Lewis because Cleveland 1650 01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:29,040 Speaker 1: gives the ball away seventeen times. Like, that's different, right, 1651 01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:30,519 Speaker 1: because my Patriots had nothing to do it. But you 1652 01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:33,320 Speaker 1: don't beat the the like the Steelers and the Colts 1653 01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:36,320 Speaker 1: and the Rams, all because the other team sucks. Sorry, 1654 01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:38,200 Speaker 1: the other team doesn't suck. No, but they would say, 1655 01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:41,639 Speaker 1: teams come to me, that's what they just pooped themselves, 1656 01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:45,240 Speaker 1: but don't know what to do. It's all about the 1657 01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:48,600 Speaker 1: Celtics sucking, not the Golden State doing anything that I 1658 01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:50,479 Speaker 1: agree with. And I also agree with the other way too. 1659 01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:56,040 Speaker 1: That's another great moment from all Right. That was a 1660 01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:58,320 Speaker 1: good one. Yeah. Usually I cringe when I hear those 1661 01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:02,280 Speaker 1: pick played back. That's five five pats, five hundred ticket 1662 01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:05,240 Speaker 1: hotline web radio and pagris dot com is the email address. 1663 01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:09,240 Speaker 1: It's Deuce, It's Alex Paul me batise in the booth. 1664 01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:14,439 Speaker 1: Here Sante Samuel. That bitter old cornerback. I saw something 1665 01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:17,760 Speaker 1: where he was like, it's all Brady, it was all Brady. Yeah. Yeah. 1666 01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,439 Speaker 1: Then he talked about getting franchise too, which was pretty 1667 01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:23,519 Speaker 1: funny where he was like, you don't even like me, 1668 01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:27,400 Speaker 1: but Bill called him to tell him he was franchised. Yeah, 1669 01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:31,200 Speaker 1: he said, you don't even like me, which is accurate. 1670 01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:35,080 Speaker 1: Oh man, that's although Bill Bill Like, I think Bill 1671 01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:39,080 Speaker 1: had a little of that, you know, like if it 1672 01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:41,519 Speaker 1: was up to me, Douce, like, I'd give you a raise, 1673 01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:43,840 Speaker 1: just my hands are tied, but you know, it's nothing 1674 01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:45,880 Speaker 1: I can do, you know. And then he goes to 1675 01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,120 Speaker 1: Fred and says, you know, I wouldn't give due a 1676 01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:50,840 Speaker 1: race he's running. I think Bill has a little of 1677 01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:53,679 Speaker 1: that right with the players, you know what I mean. Yeah, 1678 01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:56,960 Speaker 1: but it's like it's just sort of like you got 1679 01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,040 Speaker 1: the players have to believe you're on their side. Yeah, 1680 01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:01,120 Speaker 1: and you gotta kind of play that game a little bit. 1681 01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:02,720 Speaker 1: It's weird to be a but I think Bill did 1682 01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:04,320 Speaker 1: that a little bit with a sat Day. Samuel, You 1683 01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:09,200 Speaker 1: remember the clip after the oh seven AFC Championship game, 1684 01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:11,200 Speaker 1: Friends nodding his head, but I guarantee has no idea 1685 01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:14,479 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about um. They beat the Chargers here 1686 01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:18,559 Speaker 1: and went to the super Bowl, and he went up 1687 01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:20,200 Speaker 1: to he had like a sat day in a hug 1688 01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:22,240 Speaker 1: and he's like, you know you, we need to keep you. 1689 01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:24,960 Speaker 1: You need to say you know. And I'm thinking myself, 1690 01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:28,320 Speaker 1: it's a fore gone conclusion. He's going like he's going 1691 01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:30,840 Speaker 1: as soon as he can. But the night whether it's franchise, no, 1692 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:33,920 Speaker 1: he's going as soon as he can. The night before 1693 01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:35,760 Speaker 1: the super Bowl, he's walking around going, I'm gonna be 1694 01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:38,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get paid. I'm gonna get paid. It's like, okay, 1695 01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,240 Speaker 1: just you know, you got a game to play tomorrow. 1696 01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:45,280 Speaker 1: It's kind of a big one he's thinking about afterwards. 1697 01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:47,840 Speaker 1: It's it's hard to drop the ball being the general 1698 01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,640 Speaker 1: manager and the coach and you know, like saying that, 1699 01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:52,920 Speaker 1: pumping him up, knowing you know, we're gonna need this 1700 01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:54,960 Speaker 1: guy to play well in a couple of weeks, but 1701 01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:58,160 Speaker 1: also being the guy that's gonna say bye, you know 1702 01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,559 Speaker 1: like that, Just I hear you're saying, it's just hard. 1703 01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:02,559 Speaker 1: It's a weird kind of to manage that. That's why 1704 01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:04,479 Speaker 1: I don't I don't say that to Bill, like I'm 1705 01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:07,400 Speaker 1: making fun of Bill. But I do think that that's 1706 01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:09,800 Speaker 1: part of it. But like for a scientists like you 1707 01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,240 Speaker 1: don't even like me, I kind of I probably agree 1708 01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:14,439 Speaker 1: with him. I don't think he was ever showing much. 1709 01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:17,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to speak out of school. 1710 01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:20,120 Speaker 1: I've heard comments, let's put it that way, what they 1711 01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:23,360 Speaker 1: really thought of Asante, and they weren't overly flattering. He 1712 01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:27,080 Speaker 1: doesn't really seem like they're kind of mold of a cornerback, 1713 01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:28,880 Speaker 1: you know. I mean he was it was too good, 1714 01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:31,880 Speaker 1: but but more in that, like I don't know, it 1715 01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,439 Speaker 1: wasn't like thy Law like that. That one to me 1716 01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,439 Speaker 1: was yeah, he wasn't thy Law. No, you're right, um, 1717 01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,479 Speaker 1: But that one to me was one that left a 1718 01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:45,479 Speaker 1: lasting mark. They chased the cornerback for years after he left, 1719 01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,360 Speaker 1: and it wasn't until to leave when they traded for 1720 01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:55,080 Speaker 1: to Leab what twelve yep. Yeah, they had once stiff 1721 01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:58,759 Speaker 1: after the next trying to replace him a weekly Sean Springs, 1722 01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:01,519 Speaker 1: did you have a funny start to the show? I 1723 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:07,920 Speaker 1: don't know. Brett and Haliburton Ontario said that you did. 1724 01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:11,519 Speaker 1: I don't know. Probably subjective No, all right, question, he says, 1725 01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:13,880 Speaker 1: to guess if it's nine, ten or eleven wins. The 1726 01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:17,680 Speaker 1: big question is can we stop the run even a 1727 01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:21,519 Speaker 1: bit even or just enough, he says, I'm not confident 1728 01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:24,400 Speaker 1: that we can, and if we can't, then play action, 1729 01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:26,800 Speaker 1: et cetera will kill us. On top of that, the 1730 01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:29,960 Speaker 1: schedule is tough. I'll say nine and eight best case 1731 01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:33,920 Speaker 1: scenario for this year and no playoffs. I feel like 1732 01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,320 Speaker 1: I'm evolving a bit, and maybe it's because I have 1733 01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:38,360 Speaker 1: to do that. I'm not like as concerned about the 1734 01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:40,640 Speaker 1: run defense. I just feel like those are I just 1735 01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:42,400 Speaker 1: think you're gonna win or lose with the pass. And 1736 01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:45,479 Speaker 1: I totally agree, you know, like as much as I 1737 01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:47,880 Speaker 1: want to say, you want to win the battle up front, 1738 01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:49,240 Speaker 1: and I do think that there's a element truth. I 1739 01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:51,000 Speaker 1: only think there's a couple of teams in the league 1740 01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:53,439 Speaker 1: that could just line up and beat you running the ball, 1741 01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:56,280 Speaker 1: you know, almost solely. Let me Tennessee being the one 1742 01:26:56,760 --> 01:27:01,920 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis is probably another one. But for the most part, 1743 01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,920 Speaker 1: and I'd maintain this like, there's just not enough ways 1744 01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:08,400 Speaker 1: to score if all you do is run the ball. Now, 1745 01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:10,200 Speaker 1: the teams that can run it and throw it, like 1746 01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,200 Speaker 1: I think Indianapolis has a chance to be one of 1747 01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:15,360 Speaker 1: those teams that can throw this year with Matt Ryan 1748 01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:20,240 Speaker 1: when they want to throw to like compliment Jonathan Taylor, 1749 01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:23,360 Speaker 1: provided that he stays healthy. Can you imagine if Carson 1750 01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:26,840 Speaker 1: Wentz could have completed I don't know, fifteen passes in 1751 01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,519 Speaker 1: that game last year, they could have scored forty five points? Yeah, 1752 01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:32,200 Speaker 1: Like that was that game wasn't too far off of 1753 01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:35,439 Speaker 1: the wind game with the Patriots when we attempted three passes. 1754 01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,519 Speaker 1: Like they would not let Carson Wentz throw the ball 1755 01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:40,759 Speaker 1: in that game, right, I think he threw twelve times. 1756 01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,840 Speaker 1: It's funny, like, can you imagine if he could have gone, 1757 01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:48,280 Speaker 1: say fifteen for twenty two? Yeah, they could have scored 1758 01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:50,120 Speaker 1: forty five points with the way that he was running 1759 01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:54,280 Speaker 1: that night. A mire from Israel? Right, say hey guys 1760 01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:59,599 Speaker 1: and Tamara, she's not here before I begin, Mike eating 1761 01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:03,439 Speaker 1: Saga corn flakes is disgusting to marry your great and 1762 01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:05,760 Speaker 1: Paul Pepsi is only okay to drink when you're in 1763 01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:08,960 Speaker 1: a restaurant that doesn't serve coke. I kind of agree 1764 01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:11,559 Speaker 1: with that. See I think the opposite. Yeah, if I'm 1765 01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:13,120 Speaker 1: at a restaurant and I say, can I get a 1766 01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:15,160 Speaker 1: diet pepsi and they say coke. Okay, I say sure, 1767 01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:17,840 Speaker 1: I'll drink it. I'll drink the diet coke. If they 1768 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,679 Speaker 1: don't have, well, you're a pepsi guy. Yeah. Yeah, I'm 1769 01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:22,760 Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna go off on this guy. Now. No, 1770 01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:25,400 Speaker 1: we just had a whole conversation up stairs about Christina Tosi, 1771 01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:28,720 Speaker 1: who does Milk Bar and has basically like built her 1772 01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:32,759 Speaker 1: whole empire kind of around corn flakes that are steeping 1773 01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 1: in milk and using that as cereal milk and baking 1774 01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,840 Speaker 1: with that and everything. So we're not the only ones, 1775 01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,000 Speaker 1: all right. Do you even like it? I do like it, 1776 01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:43,160 Speaker 1: and I mean with Christina's product, like, it's hard to 1777 01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:45,920 Speaker 1: argue against it. She's everywhere. It's like a taste of youth. 1778 01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:47,560 Speaker 1: I don't a soggy cereal. I don't know. I just 1779 01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:53,000 Speaker 1: I love it. Um. Now for my question, let's go 1780 01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:56,439 Speaker 1: back to the twenty nineteen season. Say we replace the 1781 01:28:56,680 --> 01:29:01,280 Speaker 1: entire offense skill positions with the ones which are on 1782 01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:04,559 Speaker 1: the current roster. How far would you guess that team 1783 01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:07,760 Speaker 1: would go. I think they'd be better. I mean I 1784 01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:12,240 Speaker 1: think that this is a better, a better unit. Um night, 1785 01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:17,720 Speaker 1: I mean, but that was like Harry SNeW Edelman for 1786 01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:21,120 Speaker 1: a couple of games or no, he was was it 1787 01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:25,560 Speaker 1: wasn't Edelman played don't he played with a softball on 1788 01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:28,519 Speaker 1: his shoulder, right, he was hurt, but he played through 1789 01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:30,760 Speaker 1: that that year. I think so us I mean, yeah, 1790 01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:33,559 Speaker 1: I'll look it up because they were all blending together 1791 01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:35,360 Speaker 1: at this point or maybe twenty was the year, but 1792 01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:38,720 Speaker 1: he missed a lot of the twenty season with I 1793 01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:42,439 Speaker 1: remember with um Cam Newton and Cam's defense, I mean 1794 01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:44,559 Speaker 1: he didn't have Edelman most of that year. Yeah, I mean, 1795 01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:47,280 Speaker 1: I definitely take this group of weapons over. I mean, 1796 01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:50,760 Speaker 1: it's just no comparison like Lacosse and Ryan Izzo and 1797 01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, compared, But I mean, I still think you 1798 01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:57,759 Speaker 1: got questions about the defense. Edelman had one hundred catches 1799 01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:01,400 Speaker 1: for eleven hundred and seventeen yards and six stowns in 1800 01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:07,840 Speaker 1: nineteen yea. So yeah with Brady, Yeah, he amir says, 1801 01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:10,599 Speaker 1: I would guess conference finals. And if that's the case, 1802 01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:13,360 Speaker 1: why do the overall feeling is that the offense is 1803 01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:17,200 Speaker 1: so subpart? Do you think that? So he thinks Mac 1804 01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:20,679 Speaker 1: Jones is anywhere comparable to Tom Brady in nineteen. Well, 1805 01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:23,280 Speaker 1: he thinks that with this crew they would have gotten 1806 01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:26,280 Speaker 1: to the conference finals, right, I don't. But do you 1807 01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:30,920 Speaker 1: think that mac Jones is comparable to Tom Brady because 1808 01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:34,800 Speaker 1: saying that that so, yeah, I think tom Brady would 1809 01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:37,720 Speaker 1: lift these guys too. Well, yeah, possibly another win then 1810 01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:39,920 Speaker 1: they got that year, But he could you're telling me 1811 01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:41,840 Speaker 1: mac Jones could do the same thing. No, no, no, 1812 01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:44,560 Speaker 1: he's saying, I think I don't think he's including the 1813 01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:47,920 Speaker 1: quarterback in those skilled positions. He eat mentioned running back, 1814 01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:50,160 Speaker 1: tight end and wide receivers. Can you read the very 1815 01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:53,000 Speaker 1: last part of the email again, He says, I would 1816 01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:56,439 Speaker 1: guess they'd go to the conference finals and then and 1817 01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:59,640 Speaker 1: if that's the case, why is the overall feeling is 1818 01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:03,400 Speaker 1: that the offense is so subpar? Right again, because I 1819 01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:05,599 Speaker 1: have a second year quarterback as opposed to the greatest 1820 01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:07,879 Speaker 1: of all time. But that's not why they think it's subpar. 1821 01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:11,600 Speaker 1: If people do, but you have average weapons, no, no, 1822 01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:14,639 Speaker 1: but but think about with an unproven quarterback. Think about Okay, 1823 01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:18,559 Speaker 1: so in nineteen they got to the playoffs and got bounced, right, 1824 01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:23,920 Speaker 1: and he's saying, keep Brady, but take these offensive skill positions. 1825 01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:25,920 Speaker 1: Put it on nineteen. He thinks you get to the 1826 01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:28,639 Speaker 1: conference finals. So all his point is is that maybe 1827 01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:30,280 Speaker 1: these skills are a little better than we thought. So 1828 01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:32,479 Speaker 1: if Brady, no, but if Brady had a little bit 1829 01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:34,200 Speaker 1: more to work with, they might have won another game 1830 01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:37,120 Speaker 1: or two. Was what the guys saying, right right, you 1831 01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:41,519 Speaker 1: don't have Brady, you still have the average receivers with 1832 01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:46,840 Speaker 1: an unproven quarterback. That's why people aren't necessarily as optimistic. Yeah, 1833 01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:48,599 Speaker 1: and I don't think it's subpar. I mean, I think 1834 01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:50,479 Speaker 1: it's part. I didn't say it was sub I don't 1835 01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:52,720 Speaker 1: say it was. I know, that's what I mean. That 1836 01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:55,080 Speaker 1: was the point. But I'd take this group over the 1837 01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,400 Speaker 1: nineteen group even I think it's pretty close. To be 1838 01:31:57,479 --> 01:32:01,240 Speaker 1: honest with you, they didn't have anybody like Edelman I did. 1839 01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:05,320 Speaker 1: Your point about the tight ends is unarguable, in arguable, 1840 01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:09,639 Speaker 1: not arguable either way. You can't argue about it. Words 1841 01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:13,599 Speaker 1: are hard, uh. Andrew says, I saw Eric as an 1842 01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:17,000 Speaker 1: author on a few articles recently. Were those written before 1843 01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:19,640 Speaker 1: he left or something? Oh? Yes, they were. Yeah. It's 1844 01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:21,760 Speaker 1: kind of like when a when a recording artist dies 1845 01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:24,840 Speaker 1: and they still keep uncovering material they recorded, and they 1846 01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:27,800 Speaker 1: keep rereleasing it and repackaging it. So there's an Ivan 1847 01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:30,840 Speaker 1: fierce piece coming at some point from Erica, and I 1848 01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:35,320 Speaker 1: know they They recently resurfaced the away game list that 1849 01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:37,599 Speaker 1: he had, which I had a lot of issues with. Yeah, 1850 01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:40,439 Speaker 1: I really like gotten, you know me, That's not usually 1851 01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:43,720 Speaker 1: my thing, but that was so off. I had conversations. Yeah, 1852 01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:46,000 Speaker 1: usually I just throw kerosene on the fire and let 1853 01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:51,280 Speaker 1: Fred beat up on Eric. It was on pagris dot 1854 01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:56,360 Speaker 1: com today he ranked the away game away cities. I 1855 01:32:56,520 --> 01:33:01,479 Speaker 1: forget they were wrong if it gets specifically um one, 1856 01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:04,640 Speaker 1: but like I just can't remember. But there was some 1857 01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:08,800 Speaker 1: like what are you talking about? Yeah, he hadn't been 1858 01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:11,320 Speaker 1: to like La too, He hadn't been to La. Yeah, 1859 01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:15,960 Speaker 1: he's just judging it by La, you know. Um. Some 1860 01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:18,240 Speaker 1: of the newbies have been great. People who don't just 1861 01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:20,880 Speaker 1: bounce around the country to different fan bases as a 1862 01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:24,680 Speaker 1: profession are always more compelling voices on the show, excluding 1863 01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:30,120 Speaker 1: Fred of course, sorry talking about you. I don't Yeah, 1864 01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:32,479 Speaker 1: I don't get it. Alex Is you know she hasn't 1865 01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:36,560 Speaker 1: bounced around the country New England. I mean, so is 1866 01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:39,439 Speaker 1: that taking a shout out tomorrow? Yeah? Probably, Well, I 1867 01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:42,120 Speaker 1: don't think that's fair. I mean to be fair western massive. 1868 01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:44,960 Speaker 1: Is that really part of me? No? On our own 1869 01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:48,679 Speaker 1: little island. Yeah, Like, dude, you're not even from here. 1870 01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:54,600 Speaker 1: People asked me in college what my accent was? What 1871 01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:57,200 Speaker 1: you have the biggest Boston accent I've ever heard. You're 1872 01:33:57,200 --> 01:33:59,160 Speaker 1: asking me what my accent is. People think I saw 1873 01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:01,720 Speaker 1: him like like an upstate New York accs. Really, it 1874 01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:03,960 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like you got any any accent. I don't know. 1875 01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:05,640 Speaker 1: I don't really. Yeah, I don't detect much of an 1876 01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:08,200 Speaker 1: accent for you. Yeah, did you work on that? How 1877 01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:10,639 Speaker 1: long have you been hiding your accent? I don't think 1878 01:34:10,680 --> 01:34:12,599 Speaker 1: I have one. It's gonna come out when she gets mad. 1879 01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:15,240 Speaker 1: And I definitely have one all of a sudden that 1880 01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:18,519 Speaker 1: I try to hide. My first day at BU, we 1881 01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:20,640 Speaker 1: had a sort of one of those communication things and 1882 01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:23,439 Speaker 1: you go around you like introduce yourself, and I was 1883 01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:28,000 Speaker 1: I was planning on making the joke, and like everybody's like, yeah, 1884 01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:30,680 Speaker 1: I'm fred Kersh, I'm from you know whoever's team won 1885 01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:33,600 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl last year.

There's 1888 01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:44,240 Speaker 1: no there's no question, right. So I was like, I 1889 01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:47,280 Speaker 1: introduced myself and I was like, and I really don't 1890 01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:50,960 Speaker 1: have an accent.

I want to take the kids. 1946 01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:24,720 Speaker 1: I want to experience that. I think you know the 1947 01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:29,120 Speaker 1: two sides when they're just uh, it's take your kids 1948 01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:30,720 Speaker 1: to a fall game, Like I'm an experience in an hour. 1949 01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:32,800 Speaker 1: It's like I'm never taking my kids in an NFL game. Now, 1950 01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:34,400 Speaker 1: it's like you got out. That's part of the thing 1951 01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:36,000 Speaker 1: that they don't tell you about, Like you know you 1952 01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:39,439 Speaker 1: got you work with the Patriots. Oh it's great. You 1953 01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:41,280 Speaker 1: know what I never got to do, Like I never 1954 01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:42,840 Speaker 1: got to take my kids to you. Yeah, you know 1955 01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:46,479 Speaker 1: it seems so weird now, like imagining a fan experience 1956 01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:48,680 Speaker 1: here and like not not having to think about it. 1957 01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:53,639 Speaker 1: But yeah, um, let's see, Tim writes in a couple 1958 01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:58,320 Speaker 1: of questions. First is a more general football slash sports question. 1959 01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:02,320 Speaker 1: Which professional sports team do you hate for no good reason? 1960 01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:06,519 Speaker 1: Besides Boston rivals like the Yankees, AFC East, Lakers, et cetera. 1961 01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:09,000 Speaker 1: Mine would be the Titans. I can't stand them, and 1962 01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:12,639 Speaker 1: I think Tannehill is an overrated and overpaid bum huh. 1963 01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:15,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the usual suspects. It usually just depends on 1964 01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:17,960 Speaker 1: who's good. Like I don't yeah, like, I don't feel 1965 01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:21,160 Speaker 1: the same. I love that wonderful honesty. I like, I 1966 01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:22,560 Speaker 1: don't like. I used to hate the Colts when it 1967 01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:24,320 Speaker 1: was a right, you know, but now I'm like, they're 1968 01:38:24,360 --> 01:38:26,080 Speaker 1: the Colts, I don't. I mean, I think the AFC 1969 01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:29,200 Speaker 1: East teams you're always get a little bit amped up 1970 01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:31,479 Speaker 1: for but you know, like even I can't shake the 1971 01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:33,439 Speaker 1: feeling of like, you know, there's still a little bit 1972 01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:35,160 Speaker 1: of me, like it's kind of cool. The Buffalo is 1973 01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:36,920 Speaker 1: good right now, it's something different, you know, Like I 1974 01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:39,960 Speaker 1: understand that that's helpful for the league. But but you know, 1975 01:38:40,080 --> 01:38:42,599 Speaker 1: what team do you hate for no good reasons? I can't. 1976 01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:45,000 Speaker 1: Can't they need a reason? Yeah, because why would you 1977 01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:47,680 Speaker 1: have such a visceral Yeah, I make up reasons. I 1978 01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:49,840 Speaker 1: can make them up. But like I think Mike just 1979 01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:52,120 Speaker 1: did it. So Mike can find a way that any 1980 01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:55,040 Speaker 1: team that's good, he's gonna try to hate it because 1981 01:38:55,479 --> 01:38:57,760 Speaker 1: if they achieve anything, it might somehow diminish the fact 1982 01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:00,479 Speaker 1: that the Patriots won six titles in twenty years. But 1983 01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:04,840 Speaker 1: like every team that I hate, like I hate Dallas, 1984 01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:07,320 Speaker 1: I hate the Jets, like I hate the Raiders, you know, 1985 01:39:07,439 --> 01:39:10,360 Speaker 1: in general terms, like there's reasons for that, right, I 1986 01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:13,040 Speaker 1: can't really think of a team that I just hate 1987 01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:20,040 Speaker 1: for no reason. Yeah, I mean we're back on h 1988 01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:24,240 Speaker 1: We're back. Hey. So that was weird. Everything just cut off? 1989 01:39:25,040 --> 01:39:30,200 Speaker 1: So all right, So back to Timothy's question. Second is 1990 01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:33,360 Speaker 1: a little more thought provoking. H If you could go 1991 01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:36,839 Speaker 1: back and undo one of the following former Patriots trades, 1992 01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:39,759 Speaker 1: Which would it be sending Jimmy g to the forty 1993 01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:43,000 Speaker 1: nine ers or sending Brandon Cooks to the Rams. Personally, 1994 01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:48,880 Speaker 1: I would have loved to have kept Cooks, Cooks or MS. 1995 01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:53,280 Speaker 1: Part of me wants to say, snow that was that 1996 01:39:53,439 --> 01:39:55,320 Speaker 1: was a bad one, But yeah, I think I think. 1997 01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:58,439 Speaker 1: I mean, they ended up winning the it's only those two. 1998 01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:02,080 Speaker 1: You got to pick between those two, those two, I 1999 01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:04,679 Speaker 1: would I would do Cooks too, because at that point 2000 01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:08,240 Speaker 1: you had to get rid of Jimmy. Um Now, I 2001 01:40:08,320 --> 01:40:10,160 Speaker 1: think we could have gotten a little bit more if 2002 01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:14,560 Speaker 1: we had done it before the draft. Um. But but 2003 01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:18,040 Speaker 1: you don't wish we kept Jimmy. No, No, So of 2004 01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:20,559 Speaker 1: those two, you know we had Tom. So of those two, 2005 01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:23,280 Speaker 1: I would say Brandy Cooks. Sure. Yeah, even though they 2006 01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:26,040 Speaker 1: won the super Bowl the next year without them. Yeah, 2007 01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:30,240 Speaker 1: I don't know that. I just think, like with the 2008 01:40:30,320 --> 01:40:32,920 Speaker 1: s new thing, I wish you realized that he wasn't 2009 01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:34,960 Speaker 1: going to make a difference. And then that second round 2010 01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:37,880 Speaker 1: pick was in a prime area of when you need 2011 01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:40,360 Speaker 1: high round picks to rebuild this team, and that one, 2012 01:40:40,479 --> 01:40:42,320 Speaker 1: that one kind of still sticks, I mean trades. You 2013 01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:44,920 Speaker 1: you wish you could have back Patriots trades? Ye, out 2014 01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:48,880 Speaker 1: of cooks second round? That was bad trade. Yeah, the 2015 01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:52,120 Speaker 1: cooks trade wasn't a bad trade. No, not that I'm 2016 01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:55,439 Speaker 1: looking to climb, But the question if you could redo, 2017 01:40:56,080 --> 01:40:58,360 Speaker 1: if you could go back and change one of the trades, 2018 01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:07,760 Speaker 1: cooks or Jimmy Jimmy G, which one would you keep? Cooks? Yeah? Yeah, right, yeah, 2019 01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:10,720 Speaker 1: like I yeah, I think you could have gotten more 2020 01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:13,879 Speaker 1: for Jimmy G. But he's right, an average jack quarterback. 2021 01:41:15,240 --> 01:41:18,000 Speaker 1: Um Kareem writes in in Boston, what's up, Ugh, Crew? 2022 01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:21,439 Speaker 1: And Hello Alex. Chances that James Devlin is a Patriot's 2023 01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:27,439 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer If Andy's voting, Yeah, I hesitate to 2024 01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:31,840 Speaker 1: say zero, because I right. I have never ceased to 2025 01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:34,800 Speaker 1: be amazed by the guys that get nominated. There was 2026 01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:38,320 Speaker 1: a guy nominated this past year that I absolutely couldn't fathom. 2027 01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:41,920 Speaker 1: So well, I got I don't think James Devlin belongs 2028 01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:43,880 Speaker 1: to the Patriots. I can I can tease a little bit. 2029 01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:46,200 Speaker 1: I wrote a story um for the Game Day magazine 2030 01:41:46,240 --> 01:41:48,559 Speaker 1: this year about you know, New England small school football 2031 01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:51,920 Speaker 1: and got a chance to interview Devlin and Eric Adler 2032 01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:53,880 Speaker 1: dug up some really good pictures of like him from 2033 01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:56,680 Speaker 1: Brown back in the day. Um had had a really 2034 01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:58,720 Speaker 1: good conversation with him. I don't think he's gonna get in, 2035 01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:00,720 Speaker 1: but giving him a little bit the love and yeah, 2036 01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:03,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you could be like a sort of memorable 2037 01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:06,320 Speaker 1: figure and a key part of some successful teams without 2038 01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:09,639 Speaker 1: necessarily being worthy of being in the team's hall of fame, right, yeah, 2039 01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:12,120 Speaker 1: And he asked chances of being in the Pro Football 2040 01:42:12,160 --> 01:42:16,240 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, Now that would be none, right? Zero? Right? 2041 01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:22,200 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, wasn't there a game on there? 2042 01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:25,320 Speaker 1: There is? There probably is a game down there, Fred 2043 01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:27,680 Speaker 1: it was I didn't want to go into it when 2044 01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:29,840 Speaker 1: I was hosting, and it was Patriots history stuff. So 2045 01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:32,280 Speaker 1: it's now that I've eaten i'd probably be able to 2046 01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:35,720 Speaker 1: answer that this Cody as always thank you for the 2047 01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:39,000 Speaker 1: work You've been listening for nearly fifteen years, and wanted 2048 01:42:39,040 --> 01:42:42,559 Speaker 1: to throw heaps of praise for all my favorite podcast 2049 01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:45,320 Speaker 1: slash online radio show. I'd also like to add that 2050 01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:48,040 Speaker 1: both Alex and Tamara have been great additions to the show. 2051 01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:51,439 Speaker 1: For the game, It's a who am I game? These 2052 01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:54,080 Speaker 1: players were part of the Patriots, whether it'd be past 2053 01:42:54,200 --> 01:42:59,200 Speaker 1: present or offseason only already. So have you played this 2054 01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:02,519 Speaker 1: game before? We've gotten random little trivia games. So this 2055 01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:04,760 Speaker 1: is one where I throw out a clue and you 2056 01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:07,240 Speaker 1: get to guess, but if you're wrong, you're out. And 2057 01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:10,160 Speaker 1: then I keep going down the list with clues until 2058 01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:13,639 Speaker 1: I run out or somebody gets it. So during my first, 2059 01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:17,080 Speaker 1: my final I'm sorry, during my final preseason game with 2060 01:43:17,240 --> 01:43:21,920 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, the announcers lauded my physicality because 2061 01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:28,360 Speaker 1: of my jersey getting torn making a tackle. That's a 2062 01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:30,479 Speaker 1: that's a tough one. Yeah, you never get it off that. 2063 01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,320 Speaker 1: I am currently still to anything you hear in those 2064 01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:40,120 Speaker 1: preseason broadcasts. I am currently still employed by an NFL team. Hint. 2065 01:43:40,200 --> 01:43:43,639 Speaker 1: That doesn't necessarily makes me feel like this is a trick. 2066 01:43:43,760 --> 01:43:49,280 Speaker 1: That's a trick. Hint. Um, I am a nine time 2067 01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:57,320 Speaker 1: Pro bowler in one time Super Bowl champ. And yes, 2068 01:43:57,600 --> 01:44:00,160 Speaker 1: I was gonna say. The next one was Fred had 2069 01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:02,880 Speaker 1: a massive man crush on me, so I didn't need 2070 01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:07,280 Speaker 1: I didn't need the layup hints, right, um, next one, 2071 01:44:07,400 --> 01:44:09,960 Speaker 1: I wore a fairly notable number during my time with 2072 01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:13,400 Speaker 1: the Patriots. But this number is not notable because of 2073 01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:18,320 Speaker 1: my play. I don't even know what that even means, 2074 01:44:18,439 --> 01:44:22,200 Speaker 1: Like what the fine note back? Mason? Yeah, um, I 2075 01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:30,720 Speaker 1: was not drafted. My college no longer has a football program, Northeastern. 2076 01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:36,439 Speaker 1: And finally, many many New England fans would watch me 2077 01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:39,719 Speaker 1: play and scream at the television to turn your head around, 2078 01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:43,760 Speaker 1: turn your head around. It's gonna be a cornerback. Yeah 2079 01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:49,280 Speaker 1: it is Malcolm Butler. No, Kyle Arrington. What was his number? 2080 01:44:49,320 --> 01:44:52,960 Speaker 1: Twenty seven? Why is this number switched around a little bit? 2081 01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:57,800 Speaker 1: I think I think he had like three different numbers. 2082 01:44:57,800 --> 01:45:02,000 Speaker 1: I think twenty seven, and then he was twenty briefly. Well, 2083 01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:05,800 Speaker 1: I guess, um Butler just for the undrafted thing. But yeah, 2084 01:45:06,200 --> 01:45:08,600 Speaker 1: next one, I was a sixth round pick by the Patriots. 2085 01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:13,320 Speaker 1: I kicked all right. I kicked off for an NFL 2086 01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:19,479 Speaker 1: team while not being a kicker or punter. Huh. I 2087 01:45:19,640 --> 01:45:26,000 Speaker 1: have one Super Bowl ring and I currently reside in 2088 01:45:26,080 --> 01:45:33,800 Speaker 1: the AFC South. That's hard. Yeah, it's Camere Grugier. Hill 2089 01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:38,160 Speaker 1: kicked off. Yea, yeah, I see the kickoff. Did you 2090 01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:42,040 Speaker 1: kick something I didn't get? You know? Yeah? Final one. 2091 01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:47,800 Speaker 1: I have only recorded statistics for two NFL franchises. I 2092 01:45:47,960 --> 01:45:51,000 Speaker 1: have only scored one touchdown during my entire career, coming 2093 01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:55,439 Speaker 1: in my last year with the Patriots. I played college 2094 01:45:55,479 --> 01:46:01,840 Speaker 1: ball at a school in Indiana. And to give it away, 2095 01:46:02,280 --> 01:46:05,799 Speaker 1: it is media speculation, Fred that I faked an injury 2096 01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:12,360 Speaker 1: as an excuse for giving up a touchdown. Wait, what 2097 01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:15,000 Speaker 1: did you say it was? He went to college where 2098 01:46:15,120 --> 01:46:18,679 Speaker 1: in a school in Indiana? He went to Illinois? Did he? Well, 2099 01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:23,960 Speaker 1: that's not that's not the same place. That's not good. 2100 01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:27,280 Speaker 1: It's a partial credit. Cody and Fresno Wright saying, looking 2101 01:46:27,320 --> 01:46:29,840 Speaker 1: back on pass training camps, was there anything you all 2102 01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:32,920 Speaker 1: noticed or looked for that may have translated to success 2103 01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:36,160 Speaker 1: that season? Anything that stood out in the Super Bowl 2104 01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:40,760 Speaker 1: seasons that was noticeable in camp besides the talent level. Well, 2105 01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:45,479 Speaker 1: you remember Gil Santos in two thousand and seven New 2106 01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:48,960 Speaker 1: in the preseason when they ran the ball like ten 2107 01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:52,360 Speaker 1: consecutive times for a touchdown. Death knew then. I knew 2108 01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:55,080 Speaker 1: then they would be Super Bowl champions. I mean, I 2109 01:46:55,120 --> 01:46:56,599 Speaker 1: don't want to they weren't. I don't want to keep 2110 01:46:56,600 --> 01:46:59,000 Speaker 1: eating the dead horse. But I feel like nikkil Harry 2111 01:46:59,200 --> 01:47:01,240 Speaker 1: the opposite end of back to him of just being 2112 01:47:01,760 --> 01:47:04,280 Speaker 1: not impressed with Yeah, and I always feel like that's 2113 01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:06,640 Speaker 1: an indictment on us, Like when we watch, like I 2114 01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:08,639 Speaker 1: think it's far easier to say, did you ever watch 2115 01:47:08,760 --> 01:47:10,600 Speaker 1: in camp and say like that guy's not going to 2116 01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:12,479 Speaker 1: be able to help the team, Well, that guy can't play. 2117 01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:15,760 Speaker 1: And I have a handful of those, but I don't 2118 01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:17,840 Speaker 1: have a lot of things that really stick out to 2119 01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:21,360 Speaker 1: me like wow, now, yes, year after year of the 2120 01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:25,280 Speaker 1: Brady era, you could tell, like Brady Gronk the phrase 2121 01:47:25,360 --> 01:47:26,840 Speaker 1: earlier in the like this is a good team. You 2122 01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:29,639 Speaker 1: could tell it's a good team. You could see it. Yeah, 2123 01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:32,040 Speaker 1: the way they went about their business. The ball you know, 2124 01:47:32,600 --> 01:47:34,200 Speaker 1: said that to you last year the ball never hit 2125 01:47:34,240 --> 01:47:39,879 Speaker 1: the ground. Um, just the execution Christmas, but nothing in particular. 2126 01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:41,519 Speaker 1: But it's just I mean, it's easier to see that. 2127 01:47:41,960 --> 01:47:44,519 Speaker 1: I think like guys like Jacoby Myers who are just solid, 2128 01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:46,160 Speaker 1: like and you don't really know what the ceiling is 2129 01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:47,920 Speaker 1: going to be, but they look pretty solid. I mean, 2130 01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:50,439 Speaker 1: I imagine Brady to Moss, Brady to Gronk was like, 2131 01:47:50,560 --> 01:47:53,960 Speaker 1: both this is there are guys that that stuck out 2132 01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:56,479 Speaker 1: and like, oh that guy he can play about idea, 2133 01:47:56,520 --> 01:47:59,400 Speaker 1: what about when Rodney joined the team.

Right? 2225 01:52:54,640 --> 01:52:57,639 Speaker 1: It's a great sealth Park episode too, which one Raisins 2226 01:52:58,160 --> 01:53:00,320 Speaker 1: where it's like Hooters Step, but it's like the self 2227 01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:05,400 Speaker 1: park version of of Hooters is called raising do the 2228 01:53:05,439 --> 01:53:13,639 Speaker 1: math Um? Ryan says, uh about Breeze Drew Brees, were 2229 01:53:13,640 --> 01:53:17,559 Speaker 1: you talking about still? Won't I really regret bringing that one? 2230 01:53:17,600 --> 01:53:20,000 Speaker 1: Do you guys remember the Minneapolis miracle digs in the 2231 01:53:20,080 --> 01:53:23,040 Speaker 1: sideline also the PI call. Would you say Breeze has 2232 01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:25,439 Speaker 1: also had a bit of that, Yeah, some bad fortune 2233 01:53:25,479 --> 01:53:28,720 Speaker 1: like Manning. Yeah, well certainly those two games would be 2234 01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:32,240 Speaker 1: prime examples of it. Yeah, what am I forgetting? Did 2235 01:53:32,320 --> 01:53:35,280 Speaker 1: they lose the pit I'm remembering Indie losing and heartbreaking 2236 01:53:35,360 --> 01:53:38,000 Speaker 1: fashion to the Steelers with Manning. It must have been 2237 01:53:38,240 --> 01:53:40,720 Speaker 1: oh five maybe or something like. It was like they 2238 01:53:40,800 --> 01:53:43,439 Speaker 1: had they were going into winning, they fled the drunken kicker, 2239 01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:47,200 Speaker 1: No Pittsburgh, but the drunken kicker missed a field goal 2240 01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:50,000 Speaker 1: and they would have tied the game and gone over time. Um. 2241 01:53:50,800 --> 01:53:52,920 Speaker 1: But you know, at the same time with the Drew Breese, 2242 01:53:52,920 --> 01:53:55,200 Speaker 1: and I think those two examples would be prime examples 2243 01:53:55,240 --> 01:53:57,280 Speaker 1: of just bad luck that really didn't have a lot 2244 01:53:57,320 --> 01:54:00,880 Speaker 1: to do with him, if anything. But he is also 2245 01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:03,360 Speaker 1: the only time he won, he was gifted the NFC 2246 01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:07,639 Speaker 1: championship with Brett Fire's ridiculous interception in field goal range 2247 01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:14,040 Speaker 1: in overtime.

Instead of a story 2260 01:54:55,280 --> 01:54:58,200 Speaker 1: where it's all about the drama, this series is equally 2261 01:54:58,240 --> 01:55:01,440 Speaker 1: about the game of football. The series will show audiences 2262 01:55:01,480 --> 01:55:04,320 Speaker 1: the strategy of football and the challenges it takes to 2263 01:55:04,440 --> 01:55:07,960 Speaker 1: building a winning football team. We will see how Belichick 2264 01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:12,560 Speaker 1: developed a modern slot receiver in the versatility of twelve personnel. 2265 01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:15,520 Speaker 1: We will see how Brady wasn't born a champion, but 2266 01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:19,640 Speaker 1: forged into one. Cameraman from NFL Films will be hired 2267 01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:23,200 Speaker 1: to replicate the style of filming football games from intense 2268 01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:26,240 Speaker 1: close ups and boots on the ground intensity, none of 2269 01:55:26,320 --> 01:55:30,320 Speaker 1: those boring shots from other football movies cough, American underdog 2270 01:55:30,400 --> 01:55:35,160 Speaker 1: cough and casting wise, I would cast Alexander scars Guard 2271 01:55:35,680 --> 01:55:40,880 Speaker 1: as Brady and Paul Giamatti as Belichick. That's pretty good casting. 2272 01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:45,120 Speaker 1: Who's Alexander's scars Guard? He was the Viking guy. He's uh, oh, 2273 01:55:45,360 --> 01:55:48,440 Speaker 1: he's been a lot of stuff lately. Oh yeah, not Thor. 2274 01:55:48,960 --> 01:55:54,680 Speaker 1: Who's Thor? No, that's Chris h Chris Hemsworthy. The series 2275 01:55:54,720 --> 01:55:57,760 Speaker 1: will not pan to the mainstream idea that Brady Belichick 2276 01:55:57,800 --> 01:56:00,920 Speaker 1: and the Patriots are nothing more than table headlines. This 2277 01:56:01,080 --> 01:56:03,560 Speaker 1: miniseries will show that they are actually one of the 2278 01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:05,720 Speaker 1: biggest contributors to the game of football. What do you 2279 01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:09,800 Speaker 1: guys think? Now?

Yeah, yeah, 2283 01:56:23,120 --> 01:56:25,240 Speaker 1: I guess that's the problem with sports movies, Like it's 2284 01:56:25,280 --> 01:56:27,080 Speaker 1: it's hard to do a good sports movie because either 2285 01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:28,440 Speaker 1: in the end they're gonna win or they're gonna lose, 2286 01:56:28,440 --> 01:56:30,960 Speaker 1: and you're basing, you know, when the best stories have 2287 01:56:31,120 --> 01:56:33,240 Speaker 1: nothing to do with winning and losing. Well, maybe that's 2288 01:56:33,280 --> 01:56:38,360 Speaker 1: why he's doing it. Not about you know, the winning championship, 2289 01:56:38,440 --> 01:56:40,080 Speaker 1: but more about the behind.
