Eric's not here today, He's 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: um it's his term with Doctor Jellyfinger. He's taken one 4 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: for the team. You're sending the squatty putt. He's probably 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: gonna come back all like cocky about it. Like the 6 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: doctor said, Mike colon was as clean as anything he's 7 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: ever seen it. You could eat off of my colon, 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: because I think the best teams have a blend of 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: veteran experience in youth, and they don't. That's my point 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 1: that Joe's pretty young, but I feel like they got 11 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,319 Speaker 1: rid of three of their oldest lineback offensive linemen can 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: play longer. Again when I use the terms like always, never, 13 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: no one, everyone, like, I don't mean those terms literally. 14 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: Words have meaning, Paul, I don't tell other people what 15 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: to think, like you do well done, steak, don't do it. 16 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: There's certain things. There's just certain things you know, with 17 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: some really really good offenses, like I don't what I 18 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: agree with Mike Chris Harper Hoppers, Harper's ball, Harper's muff, 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: Harper's moth, not as falling, Harper's Sam says, thanks for 20 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: giving us a podcast. That's third one another one with 21 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: nine thirty three. I'll try that again. This is Patriot's Unfiltered, 22 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: fueled by Duncan. All right, welcome to Patriots Unfiltered. We 23 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: crack ourselves up. Uh. It is Tuesday here at Gillette Stadium. Um, 24 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: the rookies are here and they've been out there. Um 25 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: and we've got photos on patriots dot com to prove it. 26 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: So we're getting there. It's phase one or two. I'm 27 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: not sure. I think we're in phase one. Yeah, I 28 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: think we're in two next week and then we'll see 29 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: him Thursday. All the coaches, we'll thay. All the coaches 30 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: were available yesterday and today, Yeah twice. Um, no one 31 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: knows who's doing what, but that's okay. I think they 32 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: do know. It's just a coordinator. A coordinator is still 33 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: the thing that that everybody can't wrap their brain around. 34 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: And uh, if I had a nickel for every time 35 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: some reporter brought up that they didn't force the bills 36 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: to punt once and the last two days it's come up, 37 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: quite had to admit that I do it quite often 38 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: as perfect. I would just say nobody does that more 39 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: than friend. I mean, I mean, can it make some 40 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: my punt? I mean that would be approvement. Can I 41 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: make a punt? It's just startling. I do it here too. 42 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: But at the same asking the coaches about it, I was, 43 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: I was a little that's good for you? Good for 44 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: you questions? Yeah, I know, I just hide in the 45 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: corner and talk about it on the radio show. Just 46 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: doesn't like tricky facts. What's tricky about it? But I'm 47 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: gonna defend myself a little bit here, you know, and 48 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: you know what someone needs to, Yeah, someone needs to 49 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: because I've been a proponent of this whole Patricia Joe 50 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: justin like I like, I don't think that it's the 51 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: greatest thing ever that we've got them, But I've said 52 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: and I will stand by that, I think having been 53 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: a head coach, for good or bad, gives them just 54 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: that much more experience. So now that they're back here, 55 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, coaching a position or you know, something less 56 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: than being a head coach, I think it helps them 57 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: and I think that experience is valuable. And I and 58 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: both of them said that yesterday, you know, because it 59 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: was asked both of Joe, Judge and Patricia and they 60 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: both said that you know, you know, having to do 61 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: all those other jobs, you know, back when we were 62 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: head coaches, it makes it. It gives us that, you know, 63 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: bigger view of the whole picture and now and now 64 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: when we go back to doing, you know, a particular thing, 65 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: it helps us. My snarky Paul take on yesterday's availability 66 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: with the coaches was that Patricia seemed like the happier 67 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: of the two between him and Judge. Judge, Yeah, very 68 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: jovial and willing to talk, appreciate you, yeah, and shout 69 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: out to the media. Judge was very much the buttoned 70 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: up guy that we remember, very straight lay. So my 71 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: snarky Paul take was that Patricia's calling the plays and 72 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: Judge is just handing on the quarterbacks. Nobody, nobody's told me. 73 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: Ain't then, straight up, honestly going to tell you, I've 74 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: not heard anything. No one, decisions have been made, and 75 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: Matti P's like, hey, yeah, everything's right, I'm gonna be 76 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: you know, are you're working with the old line and 77 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, maybe other things. I still think Nick Cayley's 78 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: in the running for that. But but do you think 79 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: there's any way that they don't know yet play. Yeah, yeah, 80 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: you know. I just you think that they haven't decided 81 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: who's calling the plays yet, correct. I think that's crazy. 82 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: I think it might be possible. Yeah, I don't. I don't. 83 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: I don't know who it is. I'm not going to 84 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 1: pretend to tell you I have the information because I don't. 85 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: I'll be much like the schedule, I'll be the last 86 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: to know. I just I could just see Bill saying 87 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: we're not gonna worry about who's calling plays yet because 88 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: we don't have a game until August. I think, yeah, 89 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: but I think they know who's calling I think yeah. 90 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: I don't like they could do whatever they want. I 91 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: don't like. I just don't think it's I could see it. 92 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: I could see him not having discussed it yet, right, 93 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: And I think that's the only element that people are 94 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: really concerned about it. And I feel like it's gotten 95 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: blown up a little bit too, you know when Paul 96 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: pointed this out this morning, which is and I could 97 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: let you point out again if you want, or I 98 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: can walk you into it. I don't have to do it. 99 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: It's on account of if I say a lot of 100 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: stupid stuff when we're off the air, you know, on 101 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: the air too. You can lead a policy idea what 102 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: we're talking about, Well, I thought you were right with 103 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: everybody's like, we have no idea who's doing what? I'm like, Well, 104 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: they told you it's just the offensive who's calling the plays? 105 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: That's what you don't know. I mean, Joe Judge came 106 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: out and said, I'm working with the quarterbacks. Matt Patricia said, 107 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm working with the offensive line. Nick Kaylee's still working 108 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: with the tight ends like they were. I know, I forbid, Well, 109 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: I think it's getting dragged a little bit too far. 110 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: Just I get it. The offensive cordin great debate. How 111 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: is that all going to play out the plate? But 112 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: I think it's gotten blown up where they're not telling 113 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: us who's anyone's doing anything you see. I think that 114 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: that that's sort of missing. I agree with Mike on this. 115 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: I think people are rightly concerned, but for the wrong reason. 116 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: Like I don't like the options if like I don't 117 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: think they have a guy who's capable of calling plays 118 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: or a proven let's put it this way, proven a 119 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: proven play caller. Is that a better way to put it? 120 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: They don't have a proven play caller, but like the 121 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: fact that I don't know who it is. That that's 122 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: not part of the worry. I don't need to know 123 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: who it Even if you knew who it wasn't feel 124 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: gat about it because you don't like it. They don't 125 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: feel exactly. I think that you're You're kind of right. 126 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: I think there's too much being made of it. I 127 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: think it's an issue and a concern, but it's not 128 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 1: for the reasons that a lot of people were concerned about. 129 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: And to Mike's point, like sometimes you step away. You 130 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: guys were here listening to the coaches yesterday and I wasn't. 131 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: I had a day off yesterday, and in full disclosure, 132 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: I was about eight eight middle. I'd steep by the 133 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: time those coaches were talking. And the coaches started at 134 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: eleven thirty. Yeah, I don't think and I started starting correct. Yeah, 135 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: I had a golf tournament, not a golfing going on, 136 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: a lot of fun um, A lot of references to 137 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: the Patriots by the way, but you know, we'll get 138 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: to that. You know, I'm famous. What are you gonna do? Um? 139 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: Just from Afar and I'm you know, I'm looking at 140 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: Twitter and I'm you know, in between holes. Every once 141 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: in a while, you're looking like, yeah, like that nobody 142 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: will get into anything, like, you know, to Mike's point this, 143 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, he and I talked about it. No one, 144 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: no one's gonna get into the details of what they're doing. 145 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: And I'm like, Mike Reese full quote from Joe Judge, 146 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: I'll be working with the quarterbacks. M full quote from 147 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: Man Patricia, you know expects me working with the offensive. 148 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, they're telling you what they're doing, right, Like 149 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: they're not telling you who's calling the place. Well, you know, 150 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: the only ones that were kind of like I thought, 151 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: Steve Belichick was intentionally vague and obviously he knows what 152 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: he's doing, and he said he didn't know what their 153 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: being vague about it, right, you know, So if you 154 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: wanted to get technical, I guess maybe they were talking 155 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,559 Speaker 1: about Steve Belichick. But to Mike's point, the other guys 156 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: are basically telling you what they're going to be doing now, 157 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: I think. But I think if I had a concern 158 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: about it, it would be why are we having seemingly 159 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: having auditions for who's gonna be your offensive coll And 160 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: that's why I think they're not well, I think that 161 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: they know we just don't know. Well, here's the thing. 162 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: I broke the job of offensive coordinator into three parts, 163 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: and in some teams one guy does it all, and 164 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: sometimes it's broken up. You got your architect, your game planner, 165 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: and then your game caller, your play aller. So who's 166 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: going to do each of those or is one person 167 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: doing it all? I don't know, but but it's important 168 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: to answer that question. Who's the architect of the offense, 169 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: Who's who's putting in the game plan, and then who's 170 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: calling the plays? I don't know. Yeah, you know, the 171 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 1: offense I don't think structurally, fundamentally is going to change 172 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: all that much. I think it's the same offense that 173 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: Brady ran for twenty years before. Here, it's the Ray Perkins, right. 174 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: They might not have them, that's that's their system, right. 175 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: They might not have used as many of the plays 176 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: in the playbook last year because they had a rookie 177 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: who didn't know all the plays, But it's the same. 178 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: I think the same offense. It looked pretty much the 179 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: same with a few wrinkles. Here are they going to 180 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: accentuate different things based on the strength of Mac Jones 181 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: and who the personnel? You know, they have to work 182 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: with will be. But I think it's important for not 183 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: us so much as the players to know who do 184 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: I go to who's in charge when when I'm on 185 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: the field, I don't just go to my position coach, 186 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: who is in charge of this offense. I think it's 187 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: important for the players to know that more than it 188 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: is for us to know it. It It would be great 189 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: if we could know it too. But and maybe maybe 190 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: they do. Maybe they do know it, And then and 191 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: the coaches are being intending Bill, No, I think they know. 192 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: I think the coaches themselves know what's going to happen. Yeah, well, 193 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: then for a guy like Joe Judge to come out 194 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: and say that no decisions have been made, I haven't 195 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: been told. Either he's lying or they're really keeping him 196 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: in the dark, and that to me isn't good. Either 197 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: or he ain't the guy, That's what I mean. Either 198 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: they didn't tell him or he's he's lying, Like and 199 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: they didn't tell him, you know, there is the guy. 200 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: They're in shorts. It's they're not running plays. But like, 201 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't if you're the gonna be the guy that's gonna 202 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: be the architect, game planner at least you want to. 203 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: You look at it with a certain eye, even with 204 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: what's going on now, like, Oh, this guy really looks 205 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: good running that route. This guy's hands. I'm not sure, 206 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: but I kind of think Bill has always been the 207 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: game planner for offense too, Yeah, for everything. Yeah, I 208 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: don't know. I thought lately Josh he left that to Josh. 209 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: But maybe you might be right. But I mean, I 210 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: go back to a thing that we always cite, the 211 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine documentary that fulfills all the answers 212 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: to all of our questions for every sou that was. 213 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: I know it was a long time ago. Yeah, a 214 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: long time. Josh has been back. I think I think 215 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: Bill has given him the reins. I don't. I think 216 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: he called the place. I think Josh called the place. 217 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: I think I don't think he was the game planner. 218 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: I don't. Again, that doesn't make me right, No, I know, 219 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: I know it's hard. It's hard to say. Was all 220 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: part of like Bill opening up world? Yea, yeah, A 221 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: whole new world on my carpet YEA. A couple points 222 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: I just want to make is that, like I understand 223 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: what Mapatrician and Joe Judge says said yesterday. Of that 224 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: we have been in this system for a long time. 225 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: We can teach this system, you know, the terminology, the 226 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: places that they're at right now. Um, But I have 227 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: the same kind of concerns and I hear what Eric's point. 228 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: But you know, and I hear your concern two. Fred 229 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: of I've looked at the coordinator as kind of I 230 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: don't want to call him an artiste, but somebody who's 231 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: a little bit above the fray, who's thinking about strategy 232 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: and those things. And you know, Ken, a guy who 233 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: goes Wednesday Thursday Friday practice coaching the offensive line or 234 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: Wednesday Thursday Friday practice coaching Mac Jones specifically Ken. Those 235 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: guys manage both of those things and go from such 236 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: a micro coaching standpoint to the more macro kind of 237 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: point of view of an offensive coordinator, where you got 238 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: to take in all the pieces and put just added 239 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: a concern. For me, I didn't even think of it 240 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: that well. But but Josh did that for a long time. 241 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: He was quarters. Yeah, he focused on the quarterback right 242 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: and that and that makes sense, I think to Joe, 243 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: if you said it was going to be Joe Judge, Okay, fine, 244 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: I mean he's in there, he's gonna be sitting with Mac. 245 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: But you know, if it's Maddie p does that mean well, 246 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: I guess Billy Yates maybe is talking on the offensive 247 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: line about what they need to correct. I mean, I 248 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: think about all the times I've heard soundbites from Dante 249 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: Scarnecki and all the things that he would be sharing 250 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: on the sideline with the offensive line. If Matatricio's call 251 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: him plays, you know, well, like your third string guy, 252 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: it's as the one who's coaching. It's funny. I did 253 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: get a chance to talk to somebody this offseason who 254 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: was in coaching. Yeah, story that I'll never be aired, 255 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: and was asking him about a previous season when a 256 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: certain player and I forget who it was, was the 257 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: position coach and he laughed, He literally laughed out loud, 258 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, what's so funny? And he goes 259 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: that dude wasn't my position coach. He said it said 260 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: it in the media guy, but he wasn't my position coach. 261 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: He never did anything with us. It was in name only. 262 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: It was this other guy who was like a coaching assistant, 263 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: who did all the work. So in this scenario, Deuce 264 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: It's possible that Maddie p could be listed as offensive 265 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: line coach, but Billy Yates is actually doing all the 266 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: work and Maddie P is being the offensive coordinator. It's possible, 267 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: Obviously it's possible. But I would say if Patricia truly 268 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: is the old line coach on game day two, and 269 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: when the offense comes off the field, he's the one 270 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: going and doing what they did with them telling him 271 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: what they did wrong, then I think, to me that 272 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: should should rule him out for calling plays, because I 273 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: would as a head coach, I want his focus being 274 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: on the old line so that he knows what to 275 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: tell them when they come off the field. Juice's point 276 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: is that Ed hadn't really thought about it that way. 277 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: You're right, I don't. Don't. Then there's another level to 278 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: two with whatever Matt Patricia was doing last year as 279 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: the Ernie Adams role. So now you might not even 280 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: be just losing your offensive line coach if he's calling 281 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: the plays, you're also losing an eye in the sky, 282 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: right Concilierre to Belichick. So it's I mean, it's thin, 283 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: it's thin. I respect those guys. I'm happy you know 284 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: that they're in the mix. I know that they know 285 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: what they're doing, but I, like you guys, I have 286 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: concerns of how is it going to be an offense 287 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: that hits the next level with this kind of you know, 288 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: Hodgepodge style a little bit. Yeah, and you know the coaches, 289 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: as we've been talking about since the show started. That 290 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: that's obviously the main news. But we also made an 291 00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: announcement today with Vince Wilkie. Yeah, officially official, the latest 292 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: member of the Patriots Hall of Fame. And uh, I 293 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: don't think that comes as a huge surprise to most people, 294 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: fan favorite, obviously a great player in Tennessee, just going yeah, 295 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: another year ring a congrats to big Vince. You know, 296 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: I think everyone on the ballot this year will get 297 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: in eventually. I just think that it was Rabel's turn. 298 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: But that's just me me too. I think I threw 299 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: a few votes to Rabel yesterday just to see if 300 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: it was more than once. I could do that three 301 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: three times the Chicago just three early and often that's 302 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: the Chicago way. So yeah, So congratulations to Vince. That'll 303 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: be fun having him back up here whenever they decide 304 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: to do that. Yeah. I asked a couple of the 305 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: coaches this morning. In the first part just about Vince 306 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: liked hearing DeMarcus Covington, d line coach now was here 307 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: later than after Vince had retired, but still said that 308 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: they put him up all the time in terms of 309 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: his film as how they want guys to play and 310 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: the ability. I think that was what was impressive to 311 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: me just as a fan back then, was Vince's ability 312 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: to kind of look like a nose tackle. But I 313 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: think in twenty and eleven especially, I think of that 314 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: Ravens game, Sorry Paul, to bring that one up in 315 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs, just where he was dominant, I mean, just 316 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: as as dominant as a defensive lineman can be. Um 317 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: moving him a variety of blaze, you know, Gerabmeo saying 318 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, he played him at nose, then all of 319 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: a sudden we move him outside to d end and 320 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: every single time that you knew the team was running 321 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: the other directions. So, uh, he was awesome player. I 322 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: know he's beloved and hopefully we're able to have a 323 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: big ceremony here this summer. Get get all the crowd out. 324 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: I know he'll he'll get a good turnout. Yeah, that's 325 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: good stuff. I wish we knew, like, you know, the 326 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: actual vote count, like how close it was, you know, 327 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, my guess is it wasn't all that close. 328 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: But that's again they kind of like the who's calling 329 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: the place? I have no idea, just my guests, mostly 330 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: health secret yea, and a couple of transactions as well, yeah, 331 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: Eric King, Eric King, Yeah, and as well as Devin Hafford, 332 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: who was the cornerback, not the next settlement nothing. And 333 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: the other thing we have to talk about because we 334 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: haven't had a show since is the schedule. Oh wow, 335 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: the schedules out. Eric, the schedule came out. Yeah, I 336 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: didn't even realize. Yeah, it's amazing. In the off season, 337 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: things get buried major pieces like that, right. Yeah, so 338 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: it was a big Thursday. Night Fall has been playing 339 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: the role of pall over the reaction to the schedule. 340 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: I think it's a tough it's a tough road. I 341 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be a tough road no matter 342 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: how they knew. But opponents, I was a little concerned 343 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: about the schedule, but a lot of twenty fourteen similarities. 344 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: That's kind of what I wrote about in my analysis. 345 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: Starting with two games on the road, the first one 346 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: being in Miami at one o'clock. Just like in twenty fourteen, 347 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: you got the nice week ten by, which is always 348 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: good to have it. Roughly around mid season, you got 349 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: the back to backs in the South in the desert, 350 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: which we thought was going to happen. They requested and 351 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: was granted, So expect them to probably be out in 352 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: uh uh, probably stay in Arizona, not go to Vegas 353 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: for the week. But yeah, I wouldn't blame Bill if 354 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: he wants to keep them away exactly far away from 355 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: Vegas as possible. But we were kind of speculating Jetfish 356 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: is still at Arizona right, University of Arizona, so maybe 357 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: they coordinate and use his his facility over there. It's 358 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: thinking you know, um and ending with Buffalo again, that's 359 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,479 Speaker 1: gonna give you a little like. Yeah, that was what 360 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: stuck out to me a little bit was the same 361 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: afcast common line up with bookends on the Dolphins Jets 362 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: bang bang in the middle, and then at the end 363 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: with the with the Bills. Yeah, that was odd that 364 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: the similarities with the Miami early late, Buffalo both late 365 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: and the Jets kind of in the middle. That's exactly 366 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: the way it was last year for me. It's just 367 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: selfish reasons. But two Thursday night games in a row, 368 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,719 Speaker 1: one of Thanksgiving, thanks four night games in a row, 369 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: and then four night games in a row. Yeah, we 370 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: might do something with the postgame shows that months. Hardy 371 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: called me yesterday, Freddy saw up make him in a 372 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: little half hour, how about ninety minutes from Yes, I 373 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: feel like I'm optimistic right now because it's all those 374 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: one pms to start twenty five, but a lot of 375 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: Sunday and then you're gonna get to that essence, the 376 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: essence now we do the show's right, the pre and 377 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: postgame shows I have Hardy and I have Deuced. Those 378 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: are my two co hosts, right. The essence of both 379 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: of them were on full display when the when the 380 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: schedule came out, Hardy four primetime games in a row 381 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: with question marks and Deuce ten one o'clock games glasses 382 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: half full, I guess, yeah not butchered at all. Tough schedule. 383 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: Um and and the Raiders preseason game that was that 384 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: was a surprise away. And now we're speculating if we 385 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: might be able to go out there and do join practices, 386 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: and I mean with the Giants. First, they've always kind 387 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 1: of done joined practices with them the third week, so well, 388 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: it's funny, how are they gonna do working last Thursday? 389 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: About how the last time the Giants were the one 390 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: excuse me, the week one preseason game, and then they 391 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: may happen that it's one of those that when we 392 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: were talking about the fact that they might move that 393 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: Giants preseason game, you know, like you listen to this show, Yeah, 394 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: you might learn something, you might catch something like in passing. Yeah, 395 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: we thought there was a chance of that based on 396 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: the schedule of events heater at Jolt Stadium. Yeah, And 397 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: I mean, are they gonna do three sets of joint practices? 398 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: I mean sounds like the Panthers are already kind of 399 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: teed up. That was the rumor earlier in the offseason. 400 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: Matt Rule actually said it in March at the annual meeting. 401 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: So it seems like a lot if they were going 402 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: to do well, it wouldn't surprise me. Though. Even if 403 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: they don't do it with the Giants, maybe they do 404 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: it with the Raiders because of Josh and it's a 405 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: big trip. Yeah, who knows. Just strange to go cross 406 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: country in the summer I see no reason to go 407 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: to Vegas for a preseason game unless you're planning on 408 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: doing joint practice. Right. It seems like a long haul 409 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: just to go there and play one meaningless game in 410 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: August Vegas August? Right, But didn't we hear rumors that 411 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: the Raiders were actually gonna come here and do a 412 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: joint and then everybody was going to go back. Well 413 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: either way it could either well I like, I like 414 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: your way better, but either way, yeah, something we won't 415 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: find out about it. You know, if we were like 416 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: anywhere near like Vegas itself, and I'd say, sure, I'll 417 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: go to Vegas for a couple of days, watch some 418 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: joint practices and you know, doors do they have are 419 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: the outdoor practice facilities? I don't. I don't know what 420 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: their facilities that will be. Could I worry about? You know, 421 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: it's it's unsafe. Well remember that, I mean in Tennessee 422 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: in human that that was as hot as you could 423 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: be on the practice field. Yeah, and the desert, well 424 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: it's a dry heat. I know. Well that's the funny 425 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: thing is like, Oh, they're getting ready for Miami, but 426 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, Miami, that's pretty humid. It's desert dry. 427 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: It's not the thing. They have an indoor facility in Henderson, Nevada. 428 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: Family family out there. Now if we assuming that we 429 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: do have joint practices there, Fred and but I assume 430 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: we'll go out, you know, maybe we'll try to do 431 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: the shows like we have the last couple of years. 432 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: Sure M, one member of our party will not be 433 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: making that trip. That's right, that's right. Yeah, Eric, you 434 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: have made a little announcement yesterday that Paul is still 435 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: reading and told me so when I came in this morning, 436 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: I think I got through Warren Peacefu. Yeah. This, uh, 437 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: this is my penultimate show. Thursday will be my last one, 438 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: and then Friday my last day with the organization off 439 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: to bigger and better things, let's hope. So. I don't 440 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: don't know exactly where or when or what I'm gonna 441 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: be doing next, but I think it's time to to 442 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: give it a shot. Yeah, not getting any younger. There's 443 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: a lot of things I like to do and want 444 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: to do, and you know this will free me up 445 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: to explore that. So I think, now, Freddie, if we 446 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: go to Vegas, will you come, No, doucet, it's gonna 447 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 1: be bad. I mean maybe I could be persuaded to try. 448 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna try to watch practice and run the show. 449 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: Not good. I mean, I'll go, but I usually do. 450 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: I'll come in before the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 451 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: we'd come back here. The good thing is the airport 452 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: is right, so you can get get off the plane, 453 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: go hit a few rounds at the blackjack table, go 454 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: over to the practice facility. Yeah. I definitely could find 455 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: some time to do a little blackjack when I'm there, 456 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: I'll find some time to watch you do black jack. 457 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: Watch you what you've never played? Play? I can play. 458 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: Paul's a card counter, did you know? Are you? Yeah? 459 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: Do you count the cards? I don't want to. I'm not. 460 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm not getting thrown on a trunk and driven on 461 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: the desert for you. I'm too stupid to count cars 462 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: like Kenjiong and the Hangover Dude out with my right, 463 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: You're what that was a little unexpected frontal nudity on 464 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: that movie that I was I was not anticipating. Yeah, 465 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,959 Speaker 1: I agree, so, and Matt, you'll be out with us 466 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: right holding down the fort. Won't be able to make 467 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: that drive though, not like the last time we flew 468 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: to Philly on Tennessee. I mean, you just had a 469 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: heart attack getting onto the playing with all your stuff 470 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: and they're like, you gotta repack that. That's too heavy, 471 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: like drenched in sweats, bringing him back to Afghanistan. That's 472 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: a look at the preseason, you know, Giants, Panthers, Raiders, 473 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: and it looks like, um all if at least two 474 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: out of three, but it looks like all are definite 475 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 1: candidates for some joint practices. Yeah yeah, and then you 476 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: start the season off with Miami in Miami. Yeah, so 477 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: that's what that's not. So that could be maybe why 478 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: Bill wants to go to Vegas if he goes just timidity, 479 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: dry heat, you know, thin out that blood. Although if 480 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna be working out indoors, then not even get 481 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: the benefits. So what's the point. What are we doing? Well, 482 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: we'll just tell Josh he wants to go outdoors. Tell 483 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: Josh we're gonna practice in Miami because that's our first game. 484 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: Can you meet me in Miami. We'll join practice there, 485 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: then we'll go to your place play the game. I 486 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: love it.

I put out the ranking of all the 495 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: road trips. I've ranked the thirty two without guy, I 496 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: told you where I was, Paul, you haven't read it. 497 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: Without reading it? What do you think Eric ranked as 498 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: his number one destination? Oh, you're asking me to get 499 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: inside the mind of a genius. Yes, I don't. I 500 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: don't care for the sarcasms. Best your best road trip 501 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: thirty two? Yeah, and that includes that includes the international destinations, 502 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: because to New York to Los Angeles. So you count 503 00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: London in Mexico City and that's thirty two. Okay, then London, No, 504 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: not number one, not number one okay close, but not 505 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: number one, not overseas. Yeah, I mean yeah, the other 506 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: one couldn't have been on these No, all due respect. 507 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: Let's see Eric's favorite road trip. I think food. Well, 508 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: that's it's food. Food everywhere you go everywhere. I mean, 509 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: that's what we do Saturday nights, we go out, right, 510 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: you know, that's what we do atmosphere. I'm gonna say, Rain, Oh, 511 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: come on Seattle. See, but what were you gonna say? 512 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: He spoiled it? I was gonna ask Miami, But Seattle, 513 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: he said, Rain, Yeah, like how Seattle. Seattle was a 514 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: good trip. Yeah, it would not have been my favorite, 515 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: but but I I understand what he's talking about. Seattle. 516 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: I liked that trip. And again, it's not just you 517 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: fly in, you go to the game. That's not It 518 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: includes how long could you possibly stay? What's there to do? Shopping? 519 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: How good is the food? You know? How close are 520 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 1: you too? It's funny that that that would be so 521 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: good on his list, so high on his list, with 522 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: the food, with all the seafood, right, yeah, but there's 523 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: more than just the seafood. There's a good mix of 524 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: your variety of stuff. But like in Seattle might taste different, 525 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: the Pacific different. Throw the seafood you can. I've seen 526 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: them over there, I've been there, we have been. We 527 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,719 Speaker 1: had him going right by, right, I was right by. 528 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: I took issue with that he did, but Bob took 529 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: issue because my last my my thirty second out of 530 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: thirty two was Bob's number one out of thirty two. 531 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: What was that? What was that? Green Bay? Because of 532 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: the history, see that that makes that makes perfect sense, right, 533 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: makes perfect sense. I'm green Bay. The fact that it's 534 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: lambeau Field doesn't put it high on my list exactly 535 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: right checks now. I don't know if it's last, but wow, 536 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: because what would a trip to Green Bay looked like 537 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: for a fan? Like, exactly other than the game two 538 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: hours from the nearest two hours. And once you're there, 539 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 1: what else you're there to do? You have to go 540 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: to the Green Bay's museum exactly, and then you don't appleton? 541 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: What's an appleton? So like, if you're an adult, yeah, yeah, right, 542 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: if you're a guy, if you're an adult, you're flying 543 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: to Milwaukee, driving two hours, you know, maybe stay over 544 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: night in Milwaukee, you wake up in the morning, you 545 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: drive two hours to Green Bay, you go to the game, 546 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: you drive two hours back, you fly home. Yeah, there's 547 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: nothing too. And Pittsburgh was another one high on Bob's list. 548 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: I like I like Pitts Pittsburgh's and I like it. 549 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: I do interesting little town. Yeah, I had him in 550 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: my third string. I broke him up into thirds just 551 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: to you know, sort of give him like a you know, 552 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: like a depth chart starters, backups in third string, and 553 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was high on my third string and then close 554 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: to being a backup. One he had really high was 555 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: the commanders, Washington commanders, which I completely disagree with. Well, Washington, 556 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 1: I do the state. I agree with you on that part. 557 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: I made all of our country. I may have missed. 558 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: I may have overly graded the stadium. It probably should 559 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: have been a C. I gave it a B minus. 560 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: It's probably probably more of it. They're in Maryland. They're 561 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: not even in DC now, right, and you don't right, see, 562 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: I I'm jaded by all these by based on where 563 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: we stay right, like I've been able to like Buffalo 564 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: to me is a terrible stadium. Yeah, terrible, sorry, terrible city. 565 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: But we always stay right where there's a million different 566 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 1: places to do something, so it's fine. Like it's like 567 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: it would probably be in the middle of my pack 568 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 1: right of road trips. Whereas like every time we've gone 569 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: to Washington, we've never been near Washington. Uh, well wee 570 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: one time we stayed down to season. No, it was 571 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: a regular season game in December in twenty eleven. Yeah, 572 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: right after there was an Army maybe game there the 573 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: night before, so the it was the gronk uh Brian Kerrigan. Yeah, 574 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: but there was still Army in one end zone and 575 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: Navy and the other end zone because they had just 576 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: played the game the night before. Rum. But we stayed downtown, 577 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: right downtown. Why we literally like a ball away from 578 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: the White House. It was awesome. Like I like Kansas City. 579 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: Kansas City's good. I like, uh, you know, and we 580 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: when we're grading these trips, are we doing everything well? 581 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: He I am convenience stadium gave a grade from the 582 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: stadium and then he gave it and then he combined it. Right. 583 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: I considered where the stadium is, how good the stadium is? 584 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: Uh so what came out on top on that list? 585 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: Places like that I haven't been to, Like the Vegas one, 586 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,719 Speaker 1: the LA one, um, yeah you know those are but 587 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: you see him on TV. Those Yeah, the Tottenham, the 588 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: New Tottenham one. Those are ap Dallas Stadium. Dallas is 589 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: an A plus stadium, and I like, I like Houston 590 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: and Detroit for the stadiums themselves. I like Denver Stadium. 591 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: See that's the thing, Like I said, Detroit should have 592 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: been high. Well that's the thing. Like I gave a 593 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: high grade for Detroit's stadium, a middling grade for the 594 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: locale because it's it's got some really rough edges to it. 595 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: But downtown all the cities do. If you're only going 596 00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: to be there for a night or two, there's a 597 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: lot of things to do. I get it. But I 598 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: didn't want to be like a Mike Mayock and have 599 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: like five ties for third place. That I made a choice. Yeah, 600 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: I mean I'm sure he was not. Now, No, I don't. 601 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: Just like you know, I love Seattle. I haven't been 602 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: to anywhere near the number of stadiums you guys have 603 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: been to, but but Seattle was awesome. Yeah, Like I've 604 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: had them all. I've had them all over the world. 605 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I've talked about it before. The drum band, 606 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: the convenience of all the bars, fans walking, the fans 607 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: walking in, how into it they were. Even in that 608 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: O eight game with Matt Castle they were out of 609 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: the playoffs, still it was totally the twelfth Man. Everything 610 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: was on the line. I thought that was just an 611 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: I mean Tennessee because that's the top ten. Yeah, that's 612 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: one of my tempts. See, now that's a terrible stadium though. Yeah, 613 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: it's a terrible But it looks like this one. It is. 614 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: It's the same like this. It's the same, same market 615 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: and everything. Yeah, they just don't have a lighthouse juice, 616 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: that makes sense, you know, no water, funny, but we 617 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: don't have a lighthouse. Now we get Nashville, and Nashville 618 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: is like party completely taken off into the greatest NFL destination. 619 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: It's like great karaoke we had. I mean, how much 620 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: fun do we have that on that on that trip 621 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: this guy between Deuce and Matt, Yeah, you know, the 622 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: two new guys karaoke and and me and Matt no socks, 623 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: just you know, what have we done sidling up to 624 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: the bar? You know, New Orleans is great because you 625 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: can walk everywhere. I can't say, I can't imagine there's 626 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: a better all around one than New Orleans. Yeah, any 627 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: any stadium that's within walking distance of the city gets 628 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: higher grades. You can't do anything still and walk from 629 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: wherever you wanted to do it to the stadium. You know, 630 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: that's why, you know, Gillette Stadium. You know, no disrespect 631 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: to Patriot Place, but if it was in Boston, it 632 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: would have much the same stadium, Yes, much higher much Yeah, 633 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: thank god for Patriot Place or the Hall. Like, I mean, 634 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: what did they used to How do you pitch people 635 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: driving out here? Literally? True it still is in some 636 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: parts of one is a truck. But but Nolan is 637 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: like not just the Super Bowl weeks, which were awesome, 638 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: but like there's all kinds of food. Then the food 639 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: is fantastical, music, the music, the culture and the environment. 640 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: And then you go to the state even have there's 641 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: even a casino right there right like that within one 642 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: sea just I and I and New Orleans drops a 643 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: little bit on my ranking because the stadium is in 644 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: a good location. But the stadium itself is kind of 645 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: a dump. It's it's it's old, you know, it's old, 646 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,959 Speaker 1: it's stayed, it's kind of dumpy. So I factor all 647 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: these things in and I tried to make a where 648 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: did no one just finish? Uh it was like twelve. 649 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: I think it was like close to the Yeah, yeah, 650 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: well it for me it is, but like that's that's 651 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: the whole point. Like I wanted to be a list 652 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: where it exactly I didn't want it to be a 653 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: list where everybody was like, yes, that's exactly right. I 654 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: see with everything you have, you some days get back 655 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,239 Speaker 1: to me and then you can go. I think you're right, 656 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: and it's it's somebody who maybe is like a football 657 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: history crazy person that just wants to go to lambeau 658 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: Field and experience that like for them that like that, 659 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: That to me is ninety nine percent of why Green 660 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: Bay would be on your list totally. That's I don't 661 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: really like the food, simply to say lambeau Field, right, 662 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: I just want to watch football and checking you're checking 663 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: a box off of your list. D You've been to 664 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: Lambo a handful of times? Yes, Like was there anything that, like, 665 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: any kind of experience that moved you in anything like 666 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: lunch moved me a little. But but but it's not 667 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: like your you know, like some people are really into 668 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: the history. Some people have no interest at all. I 669 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: would say Fred's like in the middle. I think Fred 670 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: appreciates it. I mean I like seeing the ring and yeah, 671 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: I mean like it. It wasn't it was like did 672 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: I just treat walking into lambeau like I did any 673 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: other states? No. It was like, wow, this is Lambo field. 674 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: But then I was like, okay, yeah, actually it's cool. 675 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: I also have memories a lot of history having to 676 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: climb a ladder to get into the press box, remember 677 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: where like it's like jungle gym and you know the 678 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: press box, the actual press box. Why would he be 679 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: in the that's only from with me and Andy os right, 680 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: because you saw the ladder and you're like, nope, Eric, 681 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: I have to I have to be honest. I don't 682 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: have any recollection of any ladder. We were like, we're 683 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: like underneath like that, I have to go up a ladder. Fred, 684 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: did you give me a boost? I think you would 685 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,720 Speaker 1: remember going not quite I don't remember. It's not quite 686 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: like Buffalo where you walked through the concourse, you know. 687 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: And but there was a point where we're walking like 688 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: literally like on like a great you would have you 689 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,720 Speaker 1: would have gotten really scared because you don't like the greats, 690 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,879 Speaker 1: but do that, and we had to like climb up 691 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: like a staircase with like it was almost like a ladder. 692 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: I don't think that's anymore. It was. It was the 693 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: last time we went like the Raven because that was 694 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: the only time I went, I was with you going 695 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: up a ladder. I was with you either, and you 696 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: were like, what are we doing? Like this is Gil 697 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: Santos went up that? Yeah, no chance, Yes, how many? 698 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: I think I might have only been there once. I 699 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: don't remember that in three two. Did you go in 700 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: two thousand and six for that five game Sante Samuel game? Yeah, 701 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: sack five and knocked him out of the Samuel couldn't play? 702 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: What was Mexico City? Like? I didn't it was I 703 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: wish we had one more day there because we just 704 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: literal really flew in at night and played the game 705 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: the next morning and we're out of there. But the 706 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: stadium itself was yeah, it was kind of beaten up. 707 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: It was old, old stadium, yeah. Um. But the city 708 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: itself we stayed in at we stayed in like the 709 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: Beverly Hills part of Mexico City. It was beautiful. Yeah. Um. 710 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: So if we had one more day there, it would 711 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: have been great to go out to the Pyramid complex 712 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,800 Speaker 1: out there, um, and just to do a little tursty stuff, 713 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,399 Speaker 1: you know.

All right, So let's go to 735 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: the Ace ticket hut line. We'll start with Justin in Virginia. Hey, justin, Hey, 736 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,879 Speaker 1: how's it going, guys? Good? Hey, Jared gonna gona mystery man? 737 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: Thank you? Justin most definitely, Hey, So, I have kind 738 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: of a fan theory. Um. I think Pierre strong Bill 739 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: intends him to be, like, if he's good enough, he 740 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: intends him to be like one of the top two 741 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 1: running backs and kind of cycle in and with Steven 742 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you part of like why so l 743 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: Garrett when we had him, he like got to the 744 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: second level and he was just gone a lot of times. 745 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: And I think that's part of Pere's strong skill set. 746 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily saying they're the same player, but I 747 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,479 Speaker 1: just think getting to that next level and just really 748 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: turning on the jets and just being gone, Like what 749 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: do you guys think of that? I think it's all 750 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: part of rotation. I mean, I think he'll be all 751 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: everly involved. I just don't think they overthink it too much. 752 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: I think they get a bunch of guys that they 753 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: like and they'll let the injuries and everything kind of 754 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: play out. I mean, there were a couple of times 755 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,800 Speaker 1: last year they had got he like took him in 756 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: and it is just no matter what, no matter how 757 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: he plays, he's gonna be slotted into that role. But 758 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like I think he's thinking about like 759 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: life after Damian Harrison. I don't think he has that 760 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: skill set. Let this kid play more than uh he 761 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: lets a lot of these rookies play. Yeah, I think 762 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: that there's a big difference between what you're describing. Um. 763 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: What I like about this pick is it kind of 764 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: goes back to the way they used to do it, 765 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: and they have a key player in a role who's 766 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: nearing the end, and they don't wait for that guy 767 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: to go. They get the guy before he goes, Like 768 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:13,240 Speaker 1: Nate Solder before Matt White retired, you know Shane Vereen 769 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: or you know James White before Shane Vereen left. I 770 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: think Pierre Strong is here to replace James White. Now, 771 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,720 Speaker 1: whether he's able to do that this year or next, 772 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. That goes back to Justin's point about 773 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: how good he is. He's not an in between the 774 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: tackles runner la Garrett Blunt is three times the size 775 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: of Pierre Strong. Like like, I didn't say they were 776 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,720 Speaker 1: the same type of player. I just meant like getting 777 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 1: to the second level as it's being gone. Yeah, I 778 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 1: don't think that he's going to get to the second 779 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: level as a ball carrier. Very awesome. Let's face it, 780 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 1: when La Garrett Blunt got to the second level, it's 781 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 1: because the other team was way out of position, right, 782 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: and he had a clear view to the end zone 783 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: and it happened. But it wasn't because of his speed, right. 784 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: And I do think Pierre strong, and like I said, 785 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 1: on paper, he doesn't look like he's a fit in 786 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: the passing game. But you know, I'm gonna sort of 787 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: trust a little of the you know, the people that 788 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: I talk to on this a little bit that he 789 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: has some of these skills in his in his arsenal, 790 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: and he is improving as a pass protector. He has 791 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,359 Speaker 1: soft hands, can run routes and do all those kinds 792 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: of things. And I do think Justin's right. He's electric. 793 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 1: I mean, he has elite, elite speed. So if you 794 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: could get this guy matched up on the edges, I 795 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: think he can make some big plays. I don't expect 796 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: that to happen between the tackles unless you're talking like 797 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: third and eight. We're gonna pop a draw here, and 798 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 1: then if if it opens to Fred's point, if it's 799 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: in guy's are out of position. Look out. I think 800 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,320 Speaker 1: this guy's a home run hitter or big time. I 801 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: think he had something like, oh god, he had twenty 802 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: seven touchdowns or forty and more yards or something. I 803 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: forget the number now to have to go back and 804 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: look at my notes. But this guy is a home 805 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: run hitter if he's if you know, if he can 806 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, Patty's an agaham, what's up, Patty? What's 807 00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,040 Speaker 1: going on to the big guy? Hey, cousin Patty? It 808 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 1: was open? Uh. Fred I had a question about the 809 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: school work too afterwards, so I kind of wanted to 810 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: touch on what Paul was going off on on Thursday. Um, 811 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: how he's a little bit worried and objectively, I don't 812 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: know how you can look at how this and I'm 813 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: speaking more specifically with the defense, with the amount of 814 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 1: turnover that they've had coming into the season. How any 815 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: fan that that that hasn't been watching this team to 816 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: the last twenty years or more like a lot of 817 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: us have, um, wouldn't be worried about how this team's 818 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 1: gonna do, how this team is going to perform. Now 819 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 1: where I'm coming from, I do think Max gonna be good. 820 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: I think he's going to take that next step this year. Um, 821 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: he loves football. I mean maybe he he tops out 822 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,839 Speaker 1: after this year or next year. But with just all 823 00:40:54,960 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 1: new linebackers coming in, Ums and let us week to know, 824 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: you only have two guys that have proven they can 825 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: get out of the quarterback, I don't know how you 826 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: can't be worried coming into the season. Yeah yeah, I 827 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: mean I'm with you. I'm with you. I mean, there 828 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: has to come a time that they were gonna have 829 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 1: to move on from Collins and those guys. And I think, 830 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of us feel like, why did 831 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 1: we kind of go backwards last year? You kind of 832 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: had a chance. In twenty twenty, they have the reset 833 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: button to give some young guys a chance. And how 834 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: much did you really get out of that season? I 835 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: don't I don't think you got a lot. You kind 836 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: of went back to the old guys last year. And 837 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: you know, now it's you're you're right, you're tearing the 838 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: band aid off. I mean, these guys are you know, 839 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: draft picks. There are significant capital invested in them, and 840 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: there's certainly are guys we don't really know, you know, 841 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,399 Speaker 1: had had it's just I think it's it's it's hard 842 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: because in one way, I think people just wanted them 843 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: to draft a new defense and put all these rookies in. 844 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: And I think they have some young guys and it's 845 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: not as sexy because they've been around a little bit. 846 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: And that's the part I like, you know, because I 847 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 1: expressed a lot of those concerns that that Patty was 848 00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: talking about. It's it's the same theory I just used 849 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: with are Strong. It's don't draft you know, Josh Uch 850 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 1: and Ronnie Perkins and these guys now like the year 851 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 1: that Dante Hiitel is probably going to step away, and 852 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: Jamie Collins and Kyle Vanouia're gonna go. They've been here 853 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 1: a little bit now, Perkins's second year, Ja's third, you know, mcgroan. 854 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: You know, it was more of a red shirt kind 855 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 1: of situation. You have them in your system, they have 856 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: an idea of what they're expected to do, and now 857 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,399 Speaker 1: you've got to find out if they can play right 858 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 1: and maybe one of those guys is the guy that 859 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: can get after the quarterback. Well, well you know that's 860 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,320 Speaker 1: what you're hoping. I mean, you know, all valid questions 861 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 1: though Ben's and Maryland. What's up? Ben? Hey guys? Hey Ben? 862 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: How long have you been in Maryland? Yeah? We'll really 863 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: miss that. Yeah, I really enjoyed your article today about 864 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: the stadium. Oh great, we're all going to miss you. 865 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: So thank you. Um. I have two quick questions then 866 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: I'll take it off the air. If Nick Harry Um 867 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: went to the Packers, maybe in another team like that, 868 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: do you think he would be I legitimate? Why receive 869 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 1: with SUI? Was it like a Patriots only thing? And 870 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: my second one is kind of hypothetical. Um, if Bill 871 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: was to leave with Patriots right now, who would you 872 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 1: trust the most to take over his head coach? Um? 873 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 1: Someone already in the organizations? All right, thanks man. So 874 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: the first one, I do think that if Nikkila Harry 875 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,720 Speaker 1: went to another team, he'd have a little bit more production, 876 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: but he still wouldn't be that good. I do think 877 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: so because because of the you know, I would agree 878 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,320 Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, maybe, But I think I see the 879 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,759 Speaker 1: same player I saw in college, and I don't think 880 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to separate. I don't think he 881 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,880 Speaker 1: plays to his size. I think contesta catches are a problem. 882 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: I just I haven't seen, right. I like the way 883 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 1: Fred porton. I don't think he'd be any better, but 884 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 1: he'd probably have more catches, and maybe they wouldn't be 885 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,280 Speaker 1: asking him to do all. His head wouldn't be swimming 886 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: in it, and he could maybe play. But I agree 887 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:58,960 Speaker 1: with Fred, I don't think he'd be any better. Now. 888 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 1: If I had to pick one person who's existing on 889 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 1: the team, um, probably Mayo comes to mind. Yeah, but 890 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 1: it's between probably Mayo and Patricia, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, 891 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: did you take anything? I think a couple of weeks ago, 892 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: there was like it looked like Mayo might have been 893 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: sitting with Robert Krafted at the Celtics game. I plugged 894 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 1: out a little bit. There were a lot of Patriots 895 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 1: at the Celtics game. I love that basketball Bruins too. 896 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 1: Bruins too. They like free tickets. I think that's that's 897 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,600 Speaker 1: the word. I just one more thing on Harry. Though 898 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 1: we've watched him for three training camps, I've never seen 899 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 1: anything out of him that makes me seek can we 900 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: just get that onto the game field? Like everything is 901 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,879 Speaker 1: looked the same as it does on the practice field. 902 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: It's not like there's this secret skill set that he 903 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 1: has that just doesn't come out like it's. It is 904 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 1: what it is at this point, so I'd be skeptical 905 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 1: that he would be that much better anywhere else. All Right, 906 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break.

I'm 1136 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,320 Speaker 1: least happy that's the home opener against the Ravens because 1137 00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm definitely going to that is an early September game, 1138 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 1: you're coming up. Okay, then you and then you got 1139 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 1: the end of the season where that that Thanksgiving Vikings 1140 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,560 Speaker 1: game and then the Bills and then you got the 1141 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,080 Speaker 1: Bills to end the season. Yeah. So it's a lot 1142 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,640 Speaker 1: like last year. It's tough early, it's tough late. There's 1143 00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,800 Speaker 1: a little softer spot in the middle. Yeah. Yeah, you 1144 00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:28,360 Speaker 1: know what's fun. I think the softer spot in the 1145 00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,440 Speaker 1: middle is smaller than it was last year. I didn't 1146 00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,160 Speaker 1: notice this on Thursday night when I was putting it together, 1147 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,480 Speaker 1: but you know how we joked about how, oh what 1148 00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 1: the Browns getting to Shawn Watson. You can pencil that 1149 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 1: in is one of the first six weeks or the 1150 00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:42,520 Speaker 1: Patriots schedule week week six. Yeah. The only thing is 1151 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,480 Speaker 1: if he does get suspended for six weeks, yeah, there's 1152 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,640 Speaker 1: a chance you could appeal it and and being cut 1153 00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:53,880 Speaker 1: down the flour. Yeah yeah, they were supposed to meet yesterday. Yeah, 1154 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,280 Speaker 1: what's that all that? I mean, even way with all that, 1155 00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 1: I still think I still think the Patriots, you know, 1156 00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:01,320 Speaker 1: I still think they have a chance to at least 1157 01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,479 Speaker 1: make a wild card. Yeah, I mean because maybe because 1158 01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,000 Speaker 1: maybe nine and eight, nine and eight could get you 1159 01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,000 Speaker 1: that Statler spot, especially looking at like how they got 1160 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,960 Speaker 1: to schedule like play style was like it's like certain 1161 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,280 Speaker 1: matchup that's like late in the season. So that could 1162 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:20,600 Speaker 1: be good for the Patriots. Hope springs eternal. H We're 1163 01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,040 Speaker 1: gonna test the team theory this. I would think that 1164 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,360 Speaker 1: they should go into the shots. And I don't think 1165 01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,160 Speaker 1: any Patriots fan would say they have no shot now 1166 01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,880 Speaker 1: they why why not? They have to be in wild 1167 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,920 Speaker 1: card contention? Sure, Now I don't know. I don't think 1168 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,600 Speaker 1: nine and eight will get your wild card, but they 1169 01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,120 Speaker 1: should be in contention for a wild card, right Yeah, 1170 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:41,360 Speaker 1: I mean I think you're gonna know right where you 1171 01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 1: stand at the end of the season with the four 1172 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 1: AFC matchups with at Raiders, Bengals, Dolphins at Bills, and 1173 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, what's that Bills game gonna mean? Is it 1174 01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 1: for the division? Is it for a playoff spot or 1175 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,240 Speaker 1: the Bills resting starters? What does that look like? But 1176 01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,160 Speaker 1: another you know time that Mac Jones and this offense 1177 01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 1: is gonna have to go to Buffalo in January and 1178 01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 1: have to win and in tough conditions and the whole 1179 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,800 Speaker 1: thing with the only one by two lessons, the likelihood 1180 01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,920 Speaker 1: of someone being able to write to do that right, 1181 01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:12,160 Speaker 1: still kind of scrambling for position, and yeah, let's go 1182 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:16,640 Speaker 1: to SPI and Fresno.

No, 1220 01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,240 Speaker 1: no debate on Connecticut sixth place, because there's really nothing 1221 01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,800 Speaker 1: else to do in Connecticut either. It's really not much 1222 01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:03,560 Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, the casino is like the big thing there. Yeah, 1223 01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:07,560 Speaker 1: you got your insurance in Hartford. Mystic Aquarium, Yeah, the 1224 01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,560 Speaker 1: Mystic Pizza Lime disease. Great. I like connect that's where 1225 01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,240 Speaker 1: the name came. That's right. Better than New Hampshire. But six, 1226 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 1: I would say, I would say New Hampshire too. You're 1227 01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:17,800 Speaker 1: a big main guy too. Maine is big. Yeah. I 1228 01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:24,640 Speaker 1: like Maine Main three, Connecticut four, Rhode Island, five, Vermont Vermont. 1229 01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:29,000 Speaker 1: I all due respect to your academy, but in all 1230 01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:34,000 Speaker 1: you all you like fishing and skiing. Vermont Vermont is right. Yeah, 1231 01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,680 Speaker 1: it depends on what you like. Totally smoke like fish 1232 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:38,920 Speaker 1: like I spent my summers. I spent my summers in 1233 01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,680 Speaker 1: uh In matt gets me in uh In Portland, Maine, 1234 01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:46,000 Speaker 1: in the Portland, Maine area. So Maine has a soft 1235 01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,160 Speaker 1: spot in my heart. I might have New Hampshire a 1236 01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:49,800 Speaker 1: little higher in the list. I was gonna say that 1237 01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:53,680 Speaker 1: Hillbilly Highway. Yeah, I think, I don't know. I think 1238 01:04:55,440 --> 01:05:02,960 Speaker 1: Rhode Islands too, I got I got Yeah, Providence, good food, Yeah, beaches, Newport, Yeah, Newport, 1239 01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,440 Speaker 1: the beaches, Newport, the food up the hills. But just 1240 01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,080 Speaker 1: because like southern Connecticut is more New York doesn't mean 1241 01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,360 Speaker 1: Connecticut doesn't have anything going for it. But what does 1242 01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 1: Connecticut have going for it? I don't know. It's like exactly, 1243 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:18,240 Speaker 1: it's it's it's an insurance in Connecticut. There are some 1244 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,360 Speaker 1: states that have passed through states, like you get Connecticut 1245 01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,200 Speaker 1: is how you get to New York, totally right, you know, right, 1246 01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 1: And it's hard to get Like getting to Hartford. There's 1247 01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,080 Speaker 1: no easy way to get to Hartford. You're all back 1248 01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:34,240 Speaker 1: roads are small like Interstate Highway had Tike. Did you 1249 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:38,080 Speaker 1: say Hartford Hartford? Hartford is a direct route like Pike days. Well, 1250 01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,000 Speaker 1: if you live in Massachusetts, you live in Rhode Island, 1251 01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,600 Speaker 1: you gotta go in Rhode Islands. Hey, it's number two 1252 01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 1: states on our list right here. And I just said, 1253 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,680 Speaker 1: I originally had it at five and I rethought it, 1254 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:52,280 Speaker 1: so I might have them a little too low. I'm 1255 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,920 Speaker 1: not sure I'm ready to put them too. Yeah, I 1256 01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:56,320 Speaker 1: think I thought about putting them too, but I'm not sure. 1257 01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,680 Speaker 1: The Rhode Islands lock it in the Rhode Island Sea Shore. 1258 01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:03,479 Speaker 1: It's rated. Oh, I mean they probably called the Ocean 1259 01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,480 Speaker 1: State after under rated. They do have they do have 1260 01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:08,480 Speaker 1: some nice beep And then you know in Newport it's 1261 01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:13,800 Speaker 1: probably the best. Yeah, and then Providence most urbane. It's 1262 01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:18,080 Speaker 1: a good little city. You know, um it is city, right, 1263 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,560 Speaker 1: so it's one of the twenty seven places you've lived, 1264 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:22,760 Speaker 1: that's right. So I was born there. I think it's 1265 01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:24,680 Speaker 1: a great city because it's got good food. You've got 1266 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,160 Speaker 1: some sports teams there. I mean, not the pass socks anymore, 1267 01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,760 Speaker 1: but yeah, you can't. You could get big city living 1268 01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,280 Speaker 1: without having the big city. We definitely dropped the ball 1269 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,600 Speaker 1: with the pass socks thing. They should have been able 1270 01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:37,440 Speaker 1: to keep the pass socks in Rhode Island. There's no 1271 01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:41,760 Speaker 1: reason that. Don't you think of the New England Revolution 1272 01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,680 Speaker 1: moving to Providence. I think that'd be that'd be a great, 1273 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,840 Speaker 1: uh consolation prize to losing the pass socks. They are 1274 01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,880 Speaker 1: that Pawtucket wants to build. You know when when we 1275 01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,439 Speaker 1: take the ninety five and we go through the s curve, 1276 01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,160 Speaker 1: yes curves, and there's that old Apex building. Ye there. 1277 01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,760 Speaker 1: They have plans to redevelop that area and they are 1278 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:03,960 Speaker 1: build building a soccer stadium, a soccer only stadium there, um, 1279 01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,440 Speaker 1: and they're trying to lure a team, probably like one 1280 01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:10,480 Speaker 1: of those NASL, those secondary American soccer leagues. But if 1281 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,160 Speaker 1: the Revs wanted to move there, come on down. Yeah, 1282 01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:15,800 Speaker 1: they were talking about put McCoy there, if they if 1283 01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,240 Speaker 1: they exactly they originally wanted to put the pass Sox 1284 01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:25,120 Speaker 1: downtown where the old ninety nine five was, and the 1285 01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:27,560 Speaker 1: governor at the time and the uh the Speaker of 1286 01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,200 Speaker 1: the House where at odds and that plan fell through 1287 01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:31,840 Speaker 1: and then the guy who was actually in charge of 1288 01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,040 Speaker 1: the pass Sox suddenly died, so that kind of put 1289 01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:36,920 Speaker 1: that plan to the so they would have been downtown. 1290 01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:39,120 Speaker 1: They would have been called the pro Socks. And then 1291 01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,200 Speaker 1: when that fell through, the Patucket came back in and 1292 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:42,800 Speaker 1: was like, Hey, we're gonna make a big push for 1293 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:47,760 Speaker 1: the Apex area and build the stadium there. That's not open, 1294 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:51,360 Speaker 1: is no, that's been vacant for yeah, but you always 1295 01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:54,600 Speaker 1: see cars there. Yeah, I know, that's weird. It's been 1296 01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 1: a local barbecues in the parking lot. Yeah, some locals 1297 01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 1: use it for like yeah this things probably, but yeah, 1298 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:07,640 Speaker 1: but that could use a little revitalize. You want to 1299 01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 1: consider it? Consider it all right, Let's get to some 1300 01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,440 Speaker 1: emails web radio at Patriots dot com, Suliman in the 1301 01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:17,479 Speaker 1: Bay Area. Uh. Some quick thoughts on the schedule. First, 1302 01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:19,920 Speaker 1: he uh, he likes the placement of the buy being 1303 01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 1: in week ten. I agree. Uh. Second, Bill always says 1304 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:25,920 Speaker 1: you need to be playing the best ball after Thanksgiving. Well, 1305 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:29,240 Speaker 1: looking at the games after Thanksgiving out, that's a rough 1306 01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:33,280 Speaker 1: slate of games with the Bills twice, the reigning AFC champ, Bengals, 1307 01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,600 Speaker 1: Dolphins in back to back out West games. We know 1308 01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:39,519 Speaker 1: what type of team we have before or we'll know 1309 01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:42,000 Speaker 1: what type of team will have before the end of December, 1310 01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,000 Speaker 1: and games I'm looking forward to the most in no 1311 01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:48,240 Speaker 1: water in non division games Bears due to the fields 1312 01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:52,240 Speaker 1: versus Matt Jones talk the Patriots had post twenty twenty 1313 01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:55,720 Speaker 1: one draft raiders for obvious reasons. In Bengals as a 1314 01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 1: measuring stick, Yeah, I mean, I agree with you. I 1315 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:00,920 Speaker 1: would say the last couple of years it hasn't been 1316 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:05,080 Speaker 1: like that, and if it's again not like that this year, 1317 01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:07,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. The Cardinals by that point. 1318 01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:11,599 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray probably dinged up. They're probably like, something's probably 1319 01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,439 Speaker 1: wrong by the end of the playing the Patriots. You know, 1320 01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:19,479 Speaker 1: that's one, but you know, and who knows what the 1321 01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:21,400 Speaker 1: Raiders are going to be with Josh. But but I 1322 01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:24,040 Speaker 1: think the Bengals obviously went to the Super Bowl last year. 1323 01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:26,120 Speaker 1: The Dolphins have beaten you four out of the last 1324 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,200 Speaker 1: five times, and the Bills have you know, done what 1325 01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:31,599 Speaker 1: the Bills have done? Booked this lead pipe lock Jarrett 1326 01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:36,559 Speaker 1: stood him versus Mac Jones December in Vegas. Okay, yeah, 1327 01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,680 Speaker 1: I've always worked out for the Patriots. I think the 1328 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:42,160 Speaker 1: Green Bay game is you know, a good, good measuring stick. 1329 01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,760 Speaker 1: I assume, I mean, maybe like some people don't think 1330 01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:46,760 Speaker 1: that they're going to be any good the Packers, but 1331 01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,920 Speaker 1: I always assume that they'll figure it out if they 1332 01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:51,479 Speaker 1: if they have one of those years where they don't 1333 01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 1: and they can't figure it out, then okay, then I'll 1334 01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,320 Speaker 1: have been wrong. But I'm not going to assume you 1335 01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,160 Speaker 1: won't know going in the week four. You might they 1336 01:09:58,200 --> 01:09:59,920 Speaker 1: might have lost a game or two, but even last year, 1337 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,320 Speaker 1: remember that first time. But I think that they'll still 1338 01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,559 Speaker 1: be formidable as long as he's playing. I mean, even 1339 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,439 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's worst years here, Patriots were tough out you 1340 01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,240 Speaker 1: know they sure? Yeah, And the only way to like 1341 01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:15,960 Speaker 1: the Packers, I would say they. I mean they don't 1342 01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,240 Speaker 1: have Belichick, so like I think Belichick was able to 1343 01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:20,920 Speaker 1: get by with less. I don't know if the Packers 1344 01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:22,960 Speaker 1: will have that ability to do it, but I think 1345 01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,679 Speaker 1: they will, and I think they'll win, you know, eleven 1346 01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:29,400 Speaker 1: twelve games like they always do, you know somehow. Yeah, Um, 1347 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:33,479 Speaker 1: Mike and Maryland. Congratulations to Eric. He'll be missed, but 1348 01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,600 Speaker 1: he knows a year too early is better than a 1349 01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,519 Speaker 1: year too late. Amen, we need a cut of the 1350 01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,960 Speaker 1: all time Eric drops. Please effort that marine corps. I'm 1351 01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:45,200 Speaker 1: sure he's already on it corporate speed. I hope this 1352 01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:48,000 Speaker 1: departure the free agency sends a clear message to football 1353 01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:52,200 Speaker 1: operations and ownership uh lock in the young core of 1354 01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:56,840 Speaker 1: PU signing bonuses their own trainer on the team, diet 1355 01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,880 Speaker 1: Coakes Millers on the sideline.

So if 1384 01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:35,000 Speaker 1: someone wanted to see what happened that day to the Patriots, 1385 01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:37,760 Speaker 1: they'd be able to click on this watch what a 1386 01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:41,200 Speaker 1: five minute yeah show maybe, and you'd be up to 1387 01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,560 Speaker 1: up to speed on everything that was the Patriots.

There's a way. 1445 01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:37,720 Speaker 1: My sister is now on telling you what is right. 1446 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,519 Speaker 1: It's like horror stuff. So how does Joe? Can you 1447 01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:44,519 Speaker 1: monetize it in any way? Yeah? Yeah, how does that work? 1448 01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:46,840 Speaker 1: People download it and they pay and you get a cut. Yeah, 1449 01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:48,920 Speaker 1: but it's only a digital, it's not a hard copy. 1450 01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:51,160 Speaker 1: It's a digital. There's a way to do hard copy too, 1451 01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:53,280 Speaker 1: I would yeah, yeah, there's a way. You could definitely 1452 01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:56,040 Speaker 1: do it. So how do you get people to want 1453 01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,560 Speaker 1: to download it? Well, you start with your circle of 1454 01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:01,920 Speaker 1: friends and then they download it and you encourage them 1455 01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,080 Speaker 1: to do give us reviews. Yeah, and then you know yeah. 1456 01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:10,600 Speaker 1: So doesn't sound like my fallback plan for all the 1457 01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:12,800 Speaker 1: jokes and jobs over the years. I do wish Eric 1458 01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:14,439 Speaker 1: well and hope he has a lot of fun on 1459 01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,200 Speaker 1: his new adventures, whatever they may lead. He's done some 1460 01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:21,360 Speaker 1: fantastic deep interviews and pieces with Patriots players. I look 1461 01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,160 Speaker 1: forward to the launch of his new podcast with Andy. 1462 01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:28,479 Speaker 1: But that would be good that the odd people wouldn't 1463 01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:31,920 Speaker 1: listen to that. Think. Yeah, back to football, and I'm 1464 01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:35,320 Speaker 1: still very much intrigued to know what RKK and Jonathan's 1465 01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,400 Speaker 1: behind the scenes thoughts are in the draft. After all, 1466 01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,760 Speaker 1: they said about the failures of the past five years, 1467 01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:43,599 Speaker 1: to then drop down and draft a widely graded Day 1468 01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,400 Speaker 1: two guard, it almost feels like that was a direct 1469 01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:51,000 Speaker 1: reply from the head of the table to them. Well, 1470 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:53,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I get why everyone's upset, but I think 1471 01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:56,880 Speaker 1: you can't if you're a manager. I don't think you 1472 01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:00,240 Speaker 1: can make decisions based on they didn't pick the guys 1473 01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:02,559 Speaker 1: you liked, Like, you have to kind of see these 1474 01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:04,360 Speaker 1: guys play and see what they are. I mean, if 1475 01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:07,120 Speaker 1: they all flame out, then you know, sure, But I 1476 01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:10,720 Speaker 1: don't get the theory on that. Admittedly, a lot of 1477 01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:13,360 Speaker 1: these um lost, A lot of these get lost on me, 1478 01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:16,840 Speaker 1: But like, how exactly is it a shot from Belichick 1479 01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:21,519 Speaker 1: to the Crafts to take someone who's right rated different 1480 01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,519 Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna sabotage my own team. Yeah, 1481 01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:26,920 Speaker 1: so he wants to criticize my draft tot Like, how 1482 01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:30,200 Speaker 1: does that work? Cut off your exactly? That's what that is. 1483 01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:33,880 Speaker 1: He took the guy he thought was the best option, right, 1484 01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:36,559 Speaker 1: I mean, can we I mean, can we assume that, Yeah, 1485 01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:38,960 Speaker 1: you can. You can argue it could have been a 1486 01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:40,640 Speaker 1: different guy and that they took him too soon. But 1487 01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,800 Speaker 1: I mean they needed him. But I'm not even arguing that. 1488 01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:47,479 Speaker 1: Let's just say, for whatever reason they took this guy, Like, 1489 01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:50,080 Speaker 1: what's in it for Bill to say, Oh, you want 1490 01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:53,000 Speaker 1: to criticize my drafts, I'll show you. I'll just I'll 1491 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:54,639 Speaker 1: take that. I'll take this guy that I don't even 1492 01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:56,599 Speaker 1: do that. I'll take this guy I don't even want. 1493 01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:58,280 Speaker 1: I'll have a bad draft. So now next year he 1494 01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:00,040 Speaker 1: can say three years in a row, like why, I 1495 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,080 Speaker 1: don't know what's in it for him? Right? What's in 1496 01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:05,920 Speaker 1: it for Bill? That was really funny. Um Anthony says Eric, 1497 01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,160 Speaker 1: mister Corksniffer, you will be missed and I wish you 1498 01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:14,160 Speaker 1: all the best in your Somalian career. That's not not 1499 01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:18,800 Speaker 1: the word. I don't think. It's not what I thought 1500 01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,280 Speaker 1: it was the Africa book in Africa. Yeah, that's what 1501 01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,280 Speaker 1: he wrote. In viewing the schedule, this year could be 1502 01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,920 Speaker 1: a rough year. I could legitimately see the team starting 1503 01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:30,519 Speaker 1: owen four. The team will need to be at their 1504 01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,760 Speaker 1: best right out of the gate, and it doesn't get 1505 01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:36,320 Speaker 1: much respite in the middle with the Colson Bill um 1506 01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:46,559 Speaker 1: R T E. Sandwiching, resting, um sandwiching some potentially easier matchups. 1507 01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:49,560 Speaker 1: Here's hoping we get some classic always works out for 1508 01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:52,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots breaks. I think you'll get a few of those. 1509 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,559 Speaker 1: But I don't see anything you can pencil in right now. 1510 01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:58,439 Speaker 1: I really don't. I think you have the Jets twice 1511 01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:04,320 Speaker 1: and who else in Detroit Browns maybe without Detroit the Bears. 1512 01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:10,439 Speaker 1: That's as close as you can get at the Jets. 1513 01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:13,479 Speaker 1: Uh at home. I won't even pencil win the one 1514 01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:15,320 Speaker 1: at new Yeah, because I do think they'll be a 1515 01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:18,040 Speaker 1: little better. They should be UM three first round picks 1516 01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,760 Speaker 1: then they I think that. I think one Jets game 1517 01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:24,679 Speaker 1: in the Detroit game, they played Detroit at home? Right Uh? Yes, yeah, 1518 01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:28,479 Speaker 1: I can't see them losing Detroit at home. Um Jack says, 1519 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:31,879 Speaker 1: for crying out loud, how can Detroit be ranked below Buffalo? 1520 01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:35,599 Speaker 1: Detroit has great ethnic food, is the home of Motown, 1521 01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:39,080 Speaker 1: and by its connection to Windsor, Ontario, hosts the busiest 1522 01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:41,840 Speaker 1: open border in the world. Who would not want to 1523 01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:46,720 Speaker 1: visit Windsor Well. I again, I took a lot of 1524 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,439 Speaker 1: things into consideration on my list, and one of the 1525 01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:51,920 Speaker 1: things for Buffalo was I do have a soft spot 1526 01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,559 Speaker 1: for Buffalo, having been there more than a dozen times 1527 01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:58,320 Speaker 1: throughout the years. UM, but I would if I were 1528 01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:00,959 Speaker 1: going on that trip as a fan, I wouldn't necessarily 1529 01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:04,560 Speaker 1: stay in Buffalo. I would go maybe either to Toronto 1530 01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:07,280 Speaker 1: or the Finger Lakes region of New York, which both 1531 01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:10,519 Speaker 1: of which I mentioned in my little blurb about Buffalo. 1532 01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:12,880 Speaker 1: So you just go to Buffalo for the game, and 1533 01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:14,880 Speaker 1: you're not even in Buffalo. You're an Orchard Park, which 1534 01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,639 Speaker 1: is a suburb, So you stay in the surrounding area, 1535 01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,280 Speaker 1: which there's a lot of like beautiful countryside up in 1536 01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:23,000 Speaker 1: that area, and you could go north of the border, 1537 01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:24,519 Speaker 1: and then you drive in for the game, You go 1538 01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:26,439 Speaker 1: to the game, and then you continue on on your way. 1539 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:29,680 Speaker 1: So it's similar to Detroit. Ironic that Eric's getting more 1540 01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:35,120 Speaker 1: attention for his writing as his leaving and that was 1541 01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:36,680 Speaker 1: a big piece. Though you put all it was, I 1542 01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:38,439 Speaker 1: put a lot of I worked on it all offseason. 1543 01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,280 Speaker 1: Well the other part, I don't know how you guys 1544 01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,240 Speaker 1: feel about this. I mean, Eric obviously has a lot 1545 01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:46,160 Speaker 1: of different factors that he weighed in. But I'm looking 1546 01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:49,840 Speaker 1: at like the city where you know what I'm going 1547 01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:52,400 Speaker 1: to do in the city and then the stadium in 1548 01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:55,000 Speaker 1: the game itself, it's pretty much pretty much no no. 1549 01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:57,360 Speaker 1: But like for Detroit, like the fact that it's close 1550 01:20:57,439 --> 01:21:00,360 Speaker 1: to Windsor, like, I don't know, like that, I don't 1551 01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:02,160 Speaker 1: know if all those things back, what can I do 1552 01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:04,600 Speaker 1: when I'm there? Right? And I suppose you could do 1553 01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:07,000 Speaker 1: all of those things, but I'm not necessarily I don't know. 1554 01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:11,160 Speaker 1: Maybe other people look like to me, Nashville, right, I can, 1555 01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:15,680 Speaker 1: but Buffalo, like that's traveling too far all those things 1556 01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,439 Speaker 1: you mentioned. That's kind of like I'm gonna go. You know, 1557 01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna go to Indianapolis and you know, the day 1558 01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:24,680 Speaker 1: before we're gonna take a helicopter to Michigan. You know, 1559 01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:26,880 Speaker 1: like that doesn't count, right, Well, that's kind of what 1560 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:28,800 Speaker 1: I was getting at with. And you can get to 1561 01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,519 Speaker 1: Toronto easily from Buffalo. You can get to Windsor easily 1562 01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:34,719 Speaker 1: from Detroit. I'm not suggesting that these are like deal breakers. 1563 01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:37,000 Speaker 1: It's not that hard. But for me, it's more like 1564 01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:40,560 Speaker 1: I can be in my hotel and walk to you know, 1565 01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:44,760 Speaker 1: twenty seven incredibly fun looking bars in Nashville that Mike 1566 01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:47,040 Speaker 1: and I I think sample twenty four of them, and 1567 01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, Matt and I, you know, we're out ripping 1568 01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:51,840 Speaker 1: it up. It was great. We had a great time 1569 01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,800 Speaker 1: in Nashville and Buffalo. To me, it would be more 1570 01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:58,720 Speaker 1: like that's kind of like like bar food, Like that's 1571 01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:00,120 Speaker 1: what I want to eat, Like I don't need like 1572 01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:03,479 Speaker 1: a fancy, you know, five star meal. Like give me 1573 01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:06,240 Speaker 1: some Buffalo wings, give me some beers, and I'm good. Well, 1574 01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:09,120 Speaker 1: and Buffalo there's like eighteen places for that. I'm glad 1575 01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:10,840 Speaker 1: that's a good trip. I'm glad you brought that up 1576 01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:13,479 Speaker 1: whole because I also in my lead and I explained 1577 01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:16,720 Speaker 1: too that not every football fan is the same. You know, 1578 01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,400 Speaker 1: there are rich football fans. There are you know, more 1579 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:22,080 Speaker 1: frugal football fans poor football fans. So I try to 1580 01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:25,479 Speaker 1: include a lot of different suggestions for people of different 1581 01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:28,479 Speaker 1: budgets and different tastes. So, you know, I included things 1582 01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,519 Speaker 1: like the Fingerlakes region for people who want to do 1583 01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:33,920 Speaker 1: that kind of thing, like people who have kids, Like 1584 01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:35,719 Speaker 1: people who have kids aren't going to go to Vegas 1585 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:37,280 Speaker 1: for a week and be you know, lightening it up 1586 01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:40,080 Speaker 1: till three in the morning, you know. So I mean 1587 01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:41,920 Speaker 1: there are certain trips where if you're taking a fan 1588 01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:44,880 Speaker 1: judge my parental skills. No, but like seriously, like duce, 1589 01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:47,280 Speaker 1: if you and Lane and kids wanted to go on 1590 01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:49,080 Speaker 1: a right trip and it's so specific, you're not going 1591 01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:50,280 Speaker 1: to be doing the things you would do if it 1592 01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:52,040 Speaker 1: was just you in Lane right and and but I mean, 1593 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:53,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I come from a place, so 1594 01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:56,320 Speaker 1: how many people take like full family trips. It's more 1595 01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:58,839 Speaker 1: for a football game. It's more about like your buddies, 1596 01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:01,920 Speaker 1: you want to have you go to Miami and stay, 1597 01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:04,320 Speaker 1: you know, go to the beach. Sure, but I'm just 1598 01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:06,280 Speaker 1: saying I'm just trying to put it out there for like, 1599 01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:08,800 Speaker 1: let's say you have a school vacation weekend. You're like, well, 1600 01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:10,880 Speaker 1: we don't really we can't really fly anywhere, but we 1601 01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:14,240 Speaker 1: we live driving distance to like Upstate New York. Let's 1602 01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:16,400 Speaker 1: spend a week in Upstate New York. Oh, there happens 1603 01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:20,000 Speaker 1: to be a Bills game going on. Let's sidetrack to that. 1604 01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:22,720 Speaker 1: You know. It's just, yeah, that's all everybody's perspective. I 1605 01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:24,080 Speaker 1: mean for me, I just I want to be able 1606 01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:25,560 Speaker 1: to get into a city. I don't want to have 1607 01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:27,439 Speaker 1: to run a car or drive very far. I want 1608 01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:28,880 Speaker 1: to be close to good restaurants, and I want to 1609 01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:30,160 Speaker 1: be close to the stadium. And if I can do 1610 01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:31,840 Speaker 1: all those things and get a little bit of a 1611 01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:34,800 Speaker 1: sampling of the area, the culture that that's there, that's great. 1612 01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:38,120 Speaker 1: But um, I get in, I get out, you know, 1613 01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:40,640 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm with Scattle perfect. Mike is right. 1614 01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:45,840 Speaker 1: Mike Gerkin writes in the ground, A lot of these 1615 01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:48,479 Speaker 1: people coming out the woodwork Eric, they're all here to yeah, 1616 01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:53,719 Speaker 1: coming out. I figured, with Eric moving on, I should 1617 01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:55,880 Speaker 1: share the story that I have been holding onto for 1618 01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:58,880 Speaker 1: a while. I'm a long time listener, but rarely get 1619 01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:00,920 Speaker 1: a chance to write or listen live. But my first 1620 01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:03,639 Speaker 1: day email to you guys was way back in two 1621 01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:07,600 Speaker 1: thousand and one. Yeah, the opening the opening song for 1622 01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:11,080 Speaker 1: the podcast was a little less Conversation by Elvis. IM 1623 01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:14,080 Speaker 1: not sure why I still remember that. Anyway, My story 1624 01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:16,479 Speaker 1: is an Eric's story. I want Eric to know I'm 1625 01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:19,280 Speaker 1: a fan of his, especially these past few seasons. I 1626 01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:21,120 Speaker 1: know he got off to a rough start on the 1627 01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:24,960 Speaker 1: pod with his punt stats, but his pomposity has always 1628 01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 1: been a good part of the show. At points throughout 1629 01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:29,559 Speaker 1: his time on the show, you have referenced him as 1630 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:33,640 Speaker 1: est Gal. Now what I heard was East Gal, and 1631 01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:35,760 Speaker 1: I was impressed that he was so comfortable with what 1632 01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:38,519 Speaker 1: I perceived was his sexuality, and that his issues with 1633 01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:41,400 Speaker 1: Andy's stemmed from his joking about it. It was not 1634 01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:44,120 Speaker 1: until after this Christmas this year, when I got a 1635 01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:47,479 Speaker 1: nice set of headphones, that I realized it was indeed 1636 01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:51,400 Speaker 1: Escal and not east Gal, and it cleared up all 1637 01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,519 Speaker 1: those confusing conversations you have had about Eric's love life 1638 01:24:54,680 --> 01:25:01,800 Speaker 1: over the years. North Gale, it was any scale, Fred, 1639 01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:04,080 Speaker 1: can you think off the top of your head, out 1640 01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:06,120 Speaker 1: of all the trips that we've taken, which one you 1641 01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:10,120 Speaker 1: had the most fun at? Non super Bowl? Who most fun? 1642 01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:14,960 Speaker 1: That Indie one? That night we all with the we 1643 01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:18,160 Speaker 1: were part of the marketing, uh, all the marketing reception. 1644 01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:20,280 Speaker 1: That was the one where you and Brian were afraid 1645 01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:21,800 Speaker 1: to show up the next day and he came in 1646 01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,080 Speaker 1: and said, all hung over. Me and Brian had our 1647 01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:25,560 Speaker 1: heads on the desk and then we were like we 1648 01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:27,559 Speaker 1: got to avoid Fred. And Fred came over and told 1649 01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:29,400 Speaker 1: us how drunk he was. And it's like the greatest thing. 1650 01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:32,000 Speaker 1: I mean, when it was opened, Billy Ognens and Buffaloes 1651 01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:33,720 Speaker 1: were some of the best meals I've ever had, and 1652 01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:36,120 Speaker 1: those were good. That made the trip. There was a 1653 01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,479 Speaker 1: year and I forget which one it was that we 1654 01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:43,639 Speaker 1: went down to Miami and on a Friday, I remember, Yeah, 1655 01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:46,840 Speaker 1: we went early, and I remember m Brian and I 1656 01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:48,840 Speaker 1: went out. We were at the hotel. We went out 1657 01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:50,439 Speaker 1: by the pool and we're just kind of hanging out 1658 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:53,920 Speaker 1: and William McGinnis came over and just ripped us a 1659 01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,880 Speaker 1: new one, Like, you two are going to sit here 1660 01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,760 Speaker 1: by the pool when Fort lar you got the whole 1661 01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,120 Speaker 1: You could go anyway you want. You're like ten minutes away. 1662 01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:04,559 Speaker 1: What is wrong with you? And like we went back 1663 01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:07,000 Speaker 1: up to our rooms and we were sam and we 1664 01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:10,040 Speaker 1: were we were out for the day. Completely ripped it 1665 01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:13,640 Speaker 1: up that night in Fort Lauderdale. That was far and 1666 01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:15,640 Speaker 1: away the most fun I've had on that day on 1667 01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:18,080 Speaker 1: the beach that we had. That was a fun day too. Yeah, 1668 01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:20,400 Speaker 1: that was great. That's the one I was just thinking 1669 01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:23,559 Speaker 1: of because that was actually twenty fourteen. Week one at Miami. 1670 01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:25,360 Speaker 1: We went down on a Friday for a one o'clock 1671 01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:27,519 Speaker 1: Sunday game to get used to the heat. Yeah, and 1672 01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,560 Speaker 1: we had an all day Saturday and we just that 1673 01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:31,360 Speaker 1: was on the beach. That was a different one because 1674 01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:33,400 Speaker 1: I wasn't at the No, you weren't in that one, 1675 01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:35,640 Speaker 1: but we did that similar kind of We were right 1676 01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,479 Speaker 1: across from the beach. We just walked across from that. 1677 01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:41,920 Speaker 1: It was Yeah, that was a good day. Yeah. And 1678 01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,160 Speaker 1: the Arizona trip that yeah, we went on the Thursday 1679 01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:47,160 Speaker 1: was pretty It wasn't on that. That was the Lonnie 1680 01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:52,080 Speaker 1: Paxton game. Yeah, oh right, can't talk. I'll talk about 1681 01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:54,439 Speaker 1: that one on the air. I remember, I remember bit 1682 01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:57,800 Speaker 1: off color. Yeah, Barton Poland just wanted to say that 1683 01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:00,559 Speaker 1: the fact that other teams got creative, this is about 1684 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,800 Speaker 1: the schedule releasally, other teams got creative and spent a 1685 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,160 Speaker 1: lot of time and money for their schedule release videos, 1686 01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:09,479 Speaker 1: and we got Ernie in a whiteboard was epic. Doesn't 1687 01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:11,840 Speaker 1: get better than Ernie. Also, good luck to Eric in 1688 01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:14,000 Speaker 1: his future endeavors. He was a great part of the show. 1689 01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:17,360 Speaker 1: And we'll be missed. Who will make football? Yes, football 1690 01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:19,800 Speaker 1: as in kicking the ball into the net references? Now, 1691 01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:23,080 Speaker 1: can I just say to bart right there was bart 1692 01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:27,519 Speaker 1: thank you for like getting it for lack of a 1693 01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:30,400 Speaker 1: better way, like we have done that in the past, 1694 01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,000 Speaker 1: We've put a lot of production value, in a lot 1695 01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:36,479 Speaker 1: of thought and effort, and we went intentionally ironic. Yea. 1696 01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:39,240 Speaker 1: We went in a different direction this year and had 1697 01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:41,800 Speaker 1: an opportunity to do something with Ernie and Bart like 1698 01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:46,120 Speaker 1: I think just summarized it perfectly. Yeah. The original concept, 1699 01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:49,720 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, a little scene was it was gonna be 1700 01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:54,840 Speaker 1: either Ernie, Ivan and Dante or a combination of that 1701 01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:58,800 Speaker 1: three sitting in rocking chairs and retirement, you know, just 1702 01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:02,800 Speaker 1: announcing the Green Square. But um uh, Dante was out 1703 01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:04,880 Speaker 1: of town. I didn't he didn't want to do it, 1704 01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,679 Speaker 1: and so but you know, of the three, you would 1705 01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:10,840 Speaker 1: think Ernie would be the least likely he would like 1706 01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:14,080 Speaker 1: love to participate, you know, he was great. I just 1707 01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:17,680 Speaker 1: loved the little bits and they're very subtle, but just 1708 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:19,599 Speaker 1: a little bit of a nod of how they look 1709 01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:21,759 Speaker 1: at the schedule when it comes out, you know, mentioning 1710 01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:25,080 Speaker 1: the toughness of the ravens uh you know, Miami having 1711 01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:27,080 Speaker 1: a player nicle. Just the little things that you know, 1712 01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:29,040 Speaker 1: I know, as reporters and people who watch it, you 1713 01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:30,960 Speaker 1: asked them about and they always kind of downplay it. 1714 01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:32,760 Speaker 1: But I thought it gave a little bit of just 1715 01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:35,360 Speaker 1: a little bit of insight, even as something as as 1716 01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:38,559 Speaker 1: obvious as the week ten by Yeah, right right where 1717 01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:42,240 Speaker 1: you want it, you know. Like my favorite part was 1718 01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:45,280 Speaker 1: where he gets the first Buffalo games. You're wondering where 1719 01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:50,960 Speaker 1: Buffalo is, Well, here they are. I love Yeah, pink stripes, 1720 01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:53,920 Speaker 1: Easter eggs in there. Oh yeah, we put it right 1721 01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:57,840 Speaker 1: on the board. Okay, Annie wore pink stripe, sir. Yeah, 1722 01:28:57,920 --> 01:28:59,320 Speaker 1: he's good. I mean a lot of a lot of 1723 01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:02,200 Speaker 1: other team was put in a ton of effort and yeah, 1724 01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, and the Chargers. I'm not saying that that's wrong. 1725 01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:10,320 Speaker 1: What do you really get it had an anime uh, cartoonists, 1726 01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:12,519 Speaker 1: artists and on staff like they do. I think we 1727 01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,560 Speaker 1: would have done that too. Doing nothing that was just 1728 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,679 Speaker 1: give me a little time next year. I think they've 1729 01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:22,160 Speaker 1: had like five cartoons only sexy. Where have I heard 1730 01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:25,680 Speaker 1: that before? You know? Um yeah, So no disrespect of 1731 01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:27,639 Speaker 1: the teams that went all out. I think it's great. 1732 01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:31,800 Speaker 1: Yeah to TJ, who does like anime, was like your son, Yeah, 1733 01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:34,559 Speaker 1: my son was going to pointing out all the different 1734 01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:38,080 Speaker 1: anime stuff. Yeah, you know, it's I mean, that's it was. 1735 01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:39,920 Speaker 1: There were a lot there were a lot of I mean, 1736 01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:42,439 Speaker 1: I think we appreciated the little easter eggs that they 1737 01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:44,439 Speaker 1: put in making fun of all the teams. Oh yeah, 1738 01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:49,160 Speaker 1: they're they're not to the Jaguars. Was hilarious. You saw that. 1739 01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:51,880 Speaker 1: I heard about it. Yeah, that was very I couldn't 1740 01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:53,439 Speaker 1: bring himself to watch. No, I have to watch it 1741 01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:56,880 Speaker 1: again because now that people mentioned it. I didn't notice 1742 01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:59,320 Speaker 1: it the first time because it was happening. It was. 1743 01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:02,240 Speaker 1: It was sneak hilarious. The approval process, like for the Chargers, 1744 01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:03,840 Speaker 1: who has to go through the use to make sure 1745 01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:06,920 Speaker 1: everything's okay the Cleveland. Yeah, but I think that in 1746 01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:09,640 Speaker 1: that case, the Jaguars are probably like good right, you 1747 01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:13,479 Speaker 1: know that's what we think too. Yeah, yeah, um Joe 1748 01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:16,800 Speaker 1: and Orlando. Eric just pulled a gronk on us. Where 1749 01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:19,080 Speaker 1: is the team going to find a suitable replacement in 1750 01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:22,280 Speaker 1: May and June? In all seriousness, best wishes to Eric. 1751 01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:25,080 Speaker 1: The show has been lucky to have you all these years. 1752 01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:28,240 Speaker 1: I hope whatever comes next is great. Ah, thank you. 1753 01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:33,640 Speaker 1: I hope so too. Yep, A lot of well wishers. Yeah, yeah, surprisingly, 1754 01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:35,640 Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna get ripped a lot more, 1755 01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:37,280 Speaker 1: but maybe that's theirs. You would have gotten a lot 1756 01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:41,120 Speaker 1: already except for you blocked everybody. Yeah, it's a good point. 1757 01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:44,160 Speaker 1: They're not in my life. Thanks. I don't need that. 1758 01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:47,160 Speaker 1: I don't need that in my life, uh Neil writes 1759 01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:50,120 Speaker 1: in Schedule Release Day. You can have Ernie Adams read 1760 01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:54,040 Speaker 1: the games off a whiteboard while providing obvious weather predictions. 1761 01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:56,479 Speaker 1: Or you can have the work of art that was 1762 01:30:56,520 --> 01:31:01,120 Speaker 1: the La Charges video talk about taking smack? Are talking 1763 01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:05,240 Speaker 1: smack in Japanese. I'm kind of disappointed we weren't playing them, because, 1764 01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:07,960 Speaker 1: let's be honest, there's a lot of low hanging fruit 1765 01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:10,320 Speaker 1: to poke fun of. When it comes to the Patriots, 1766 01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:13,439 Speaker 1: we were also crushed by the Giants and many other teams. 1767 01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:17,200 Speaker 1: We need to draft better media content personnel. I for one, 1768 01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:23,720 Speaker 1: blame Bill GM Bill. It's not coach's Bill's fault. Okay, no, 1769 01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:26,760 Speaker 1: blame me, absolutely no. But are we are we ever 1770 01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:29,000 Speaker 1: gonna be? If you don't like it, blame me right. Well, 1771 01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:30,640 Speaker 1: if we're gonna be, are we gonna be ones to 1772 01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:34,320 Speaker 1: go around and rakle everybody's feathers and have little trolls 1773 01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:36,080 Speaker 1: of everybody else? I don't know, but you didn't have 1774 01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:39,960 Speaker 1: to do that like we've done, like We've done things 1775 01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:42,439 Speaker 1: with that kind of production value without oh yeah, without 1776 01:31:42,680 --> 01:31:44,760 Speaker 1: like ruffling feathers and making fun of it. I think 1777 01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:47,160 Speaker 1: that's what he was complaining about, that we didn't. We didn't. 1778 01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:49,720 Speaker 1: We're not like rattle cages. We're not going to do that. 1779 01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys are bumped about Thanksgiving here Canada, 1780 01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:57,240 Speaker 1: we call it extra Football Day plus four consecutive primetime 1781 01:31:57,320 --> 01:32:00,599 Speaker 1: games to Paul give his resignation. Yet I had anywhere 1782 01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:03,479 Speaker 1: to go. I don't have the guts that Eric has 1783 01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:07,960 Speaker 1: to just up and leave. Also for this month, Miami 1784 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,080 Speaker 1: in Week one, but ninety minute postgame shows that month. 1785 01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:14,559 Speaker 1: I'm sick of Miami in Week one. But Mike can't complain, 1786 01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:17,000 Speaker 1: as it has been his anthem. How do we stack 1787 01:32:17,080 --> 01:32:20,040 Speaker 1: up against the Dolphins? What do you think are the 1788 01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:23,519 Speaker 1: toughest three games stretch we have the in the season. 1789 01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:26,760 Speaker 1: To me, it's games fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen. Yeah, I mean, 1790 01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:30,639 Speaker 1: that's no idea. I mean, Buffalo at Arizona at Vegas, 1791 01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:32,560 Speaker 1: that's a tough stretch. I mean, just give me the 1792 01:32:32,680 --> 01:32:34,840 Speaker 1: last three. I mean, if because if you're if you're 1793 01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:37,360 Speaker 1: on the edge, if you're on the bubble, for the playoffs, 1794 01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:39,439 Speaker 1: and then you gotta be you know, you're you're you're 1795 01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:42,679 Speaker 1: traveling games and then and then you got three really 1796 01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:45,360 Speaker 1: good teams. I mean, I think it's a The Dolphins 1797 01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:47,679 Speaker 1: is a really interesting test ride out of the gate 1798 01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:49,200 Speaker 1: of I mean, they do have a new coach, so 1799 01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:50,960 Speaker 1: I think there's something to be said for the beeflow 1800 01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:52,840 Speaker 1: factor with them in the last few years and how 1801 01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:54,920 Speaker 1: they got up and how they prepared and you know, 1802 01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:57,720 Speaker 1: no disrespect to Mike McDaniel, why, you know, I think 1803 01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:01,040 Speaker 1: as a breath of fresh air. Um, I'm very curious 1804 01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:03,280 Speaker 1: to see how he does. And I wish they weren't 1805 01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:05,519 Speaker 1: in our division because I want him to do well. Yeah, 1806 01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:08,320 Speaker 1: I want somebody different to do well. Yeah. They just 1807 01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:10,479 Speaker 1: signed Melvin Ingram too, right, Oh did they? I didn't 1808 01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:14,439 Speaker 1: see that really, So I we'll see. I mean, you're 1809 01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:16,960 Speaker 1: gonna get a great barometer right out of the gate. 1810 01:33:17,040 --> 01:33:19,840 Speaker 1: You got a team that's in your division that's really 1811 01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:21,720 Speaker 1: kind of handled you of the last couple of years. 1812 01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:24,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I know, the opener last year was was close, 1813 01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:26,479 Speaker 1: and the Patriots you know, had it in their grasp, 1814 01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:29,200 Speaker 1: but a fumble unfortunately kind of probably cost him the game. 1815 01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:31,559 Speaker 1: So I mean, it's it's a good opportunity to get 1816 01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:34,600 Speaker 1: right on track at a division road win. Arguably the 1817 01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:36,519 Speaker 1: second hardest game that you're gonna have to play in 1818 01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:39,640 Speaker 1: the division. But you know you're gonna have to be 1819 01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:41,720 Speaker 1: on and ready to go right out of the gate 1820 01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:43,600 Speaker 1: with that schedule. I mean, and you know, even the 1821 01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:46,000 Speaker 1: Steelers and the Ravens. I mean, I said to Paul, 1822 01:33:46,040 --> 01:33:47,600 Speaker 1: sometimes I look at these through the lens of like 1823 01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:50,160 Speaker 1: this was the old Brady Patriots. And even in that regard, 1824 01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:52,760 Speaker 1: you know, if they were the old those those were 1825 01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:55,600 Speaker 1: still just tough general teams that have always kind of 1826 01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:58,080 Speaker 1: been playing and it's tough to play down there in September. 1827 01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:00,840 Speaker 1: I think that's a big you know, playing them really 1828 01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:04,479 Speaker 1: early and really late in Miami, I think is is different. 1829 01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:07,800 Speaker 1: And I think if you look at the I don't 1830 01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:09,200 Speaker 1: have the numbers in front of me, but I think 1831 01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:12,280 Speaker 1: this September record, I think they're like two and two 1832 01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:14,680 Speaker 1: and two or or two and four in September or 1833 01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:16,679 Speaker 1: something like that. And the two wins were both Monday 1834 01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:19,600 Speaker 1: night games, oh in Miami, which which is mitigated a 1835 01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:22,519 Speaker 1: little bit. It's still hot and human, but it doesn't 1836 01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:24,200 Speaker 1: like the sun beaten down on. I'd like to know 1837 01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:28,760 Speaker 1: overall what Miami's record is their first home game, like, oh, 1838 01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:32,800 Speaker 1: you know anybody time? Yeah, you know, I bet you 1839 01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:36,680 Speaker 1: it's pretty good. Yeah, um, Bill and Bowsman's last year. 1840 01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:39,040 Speaker 1: I assume this will come up pretty quick. Today. I'm 1841 01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:41,320 Speaker 1: gonna miss Eric. I hope he's gonna be okay and 1842 01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:44,599 Speaker 1: enjoy his new adventure. Also, I hope Fred replaces him 1843 01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:48,920 Speaker 1: with another intellectually minded individual. Good luck, Escal, Thank you. 1844 01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:53,040 Speaker 1: I don't think they meet make them like Scale anymore. No, 1845 01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:58,400 Speaker 1: went away with a Scots. Speaking of acts, I had 1846 01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:08,200 Speaker 1: last week, it's your ascot, that's all right. Yeah, and uh, 1847 01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:10,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't so bad. Yeah, it wasn't so bad. It 1848 01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:12,719 Speaker 1: was to feel refreshed when you woke up. I actually 1849 01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:15,919 Speaker 1: felt refreshed after the treatment that you have to do beforehand, 1850 01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:18,799 Speaker 1: because you get you get completely, like drained out of everything. 1851 01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:20,200 Speaker 1: That was the first time in my life I've ever 1852 01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:24,240 Speaker 1: done that. Yeah, but I I had like a short 1853 01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:26,920 Speaker 1: term amnesia when I woke up from the procedure, and 1854 01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:29,360 Speaker 1: by the time I got home, I remember very little 1855 01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:34,120 Speaker 1: about that time period. Yeah, right, I remember almost nothing 1856 01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:37,080 Speaker 1: about what happened when you're not supposed to remember the procedure. 1857 01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:39,120 Speaker 1: I don't remember the procedure at all. And then I 1858 01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:44,160 Speaker 1: remember being awake afterwards, being given like apple juice and 1859 01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:48,120 Speaker 1: some crackers or something, and then I remember walking out 1860 01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:50,720 Speaker 1: the door to my mother's car. She came to pick 1861 01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:54,519 Speaker 1: me up. I don't remember the drive home. I remember 1862 01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:57,920 Speaker 1: unlocking the door to my house, having a little bit 1863 01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:00,679 Speaker 1: of breakfast, and then I sat down in my chair 1864 01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:03,200 Speaker 1: in my living room, and three hours later I woke 1865 01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:07,080 Speaker 1: up and that's when everything had worn off. But they 1866 01:36:07,640 --> 01:36:10,479 Speaker 1: I'm glad I did the test because they did find 1867 01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:13,599 Speaker 1: a little something there. So but they said not to worry. 1868 01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:18,200 Speaker 1: It's not but it's just a little polyp. Yeah, so 1869 01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:21,040 Speaker 1: something that's something to consider for either down the road. 1870 01:36:21,080 --> 01:36:23,280 Speaker 1: And they always find something like that, like I have 1871 01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:26,519 Speaker 1: a little diverticulitis. But it's like it's okay, it's the 1872 01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:29,760 Speaker 1: only one here who hasn't met doctor jelly fingers. What 1873 01:36:29,880 --> 01:36:31,559 Speaker 1: position do they get you him? When they're getting you ready, 1874 01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:33,599 Speaker 1: when they're getting your your side, you're on your side. 1875 01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:36,479 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, just trying to get getting them 1876 01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:38,960 Speaker 1: right place for it. I know my time is coming. Yeah, 1877 01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:40,800 Speaker 1: you should you should do it. I mean you're you're 1878 01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:43,040 Speaker 1: over forty five now, right, Yeah, that's when they tell 1879 01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:45,200 Speaker 1: you now you should, especially within the recent years with 1880 01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:49,360 Speaker 1: U Chad Chadwick Boseman, the actor who died of it, 1881 01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:53,519 Speaker 1: because it's so preventable that they want you to get 1882 01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:55,320 Speaker 1: it early, as early as possible with so they can 1883 01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:58,040 Speaker 1: detect it, get it. I'm really surprised with my diet 1884 01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:05,200 Speaker 1: over my life. It's not ridiculous in there, just you know, 1885 01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:09,200 Speaker 1: like stalactites, you know, bats, you know, those are the 1886 01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:12,559 Speaker 1: ones on the top of the bottom, you know, Yeah, 1887 01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:15,400 Speaker 1: like it. I just figured it should be a mess 1888 01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:21,559 Speaker 1: with all the red meat, I mean cheese, you know. Yeah, 1889 01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't know.

I've had I've always had I've 1897 01:37:52,640 --> 01:37:55,240 Speaker 1: always had the um belief, and I know It's not 1898 01:37:55,320 --> 01:37:57,880 Speaker 1: true that if you start something early in life, like 1899 01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:00,400 Speaker 1: eating bad, your body gets used to it and you 1900 01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:02,920 Speaker 1: can handle it. Is when you start later, then your 1901 01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:06,519 Speaker 1: body freaks out and you get sick. You know, So 1902 01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:09,280 Speaker 1: start smoking and drinking when you're think there's a lot 1903 01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:11,880 Speaker 1: of alcoholics that would disagree with that. Smoke when you're ten, 1904 01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:15,479 Speaker 1: and then you know, develop a resistance to Oh yeah, 1905 01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:18,760 Speaker 1: I know I'm not being true. But you do hear 1906 01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:21,280 Speaker 1: about people who are like ninety, they smoked all their lives? True, 1907 01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:26,080 Speaker 1: what's your secret? And cigarettes everything? You don't know of 1908 01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:28,760 Speaker 1: a lot of those people. That's true. It's very rare. 1909 01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:31,599 Speaker 1: You hear about the one right, Yeah, you've now you've 1910 01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:35,280 Speaker 1: got those commercials with those people who are all difficulties, 1911 01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:38,160 Speaker 1: and you don't see a lot of grossly overweight ninety 1912 01:38:38,200 --> 01:38:39,679 Speaker 1: year olds and you don't see a lot of change. 1913 01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:43,720 Speaker 1: That's true. You go to those nursing homes, they're not fat, yeah, 1914 01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:48,920 Speaker 1: which means not long for this world. You don't smoke, 1915 01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:52,479 Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, you've never smoked, have you? No? Not 1916 01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:58,680 Speaker 1: not cigarettes? No, I don't even really smoke cigars a 1917 01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:01,720 Speaker 1: lot anymore, like I might have one a year. You 1918 01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:03,639 Speaker 1: know that's it. Yesterday was another one of those days 1919 01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:06,240 Speaker 1: where I wish I smoke cigars.

Pooh, hugga huga. Let's get back to 1943 01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:24,240 Speaker 1: the phones. A sticket hutline. We get him stacked up here. 1944 01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:31,280 Speaker 1: We'll start with Todd North Carolina, Todd, Todd, Todd hang out. Uh, 1945 01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:38,280 Speaker 1: Josh is in California. Hey, Josh, Hey guys. Not necessarily 1946 01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:40,960 Speaker 1: a long time listener, but I am the first time caller. 1947 01:40:41,040 --> 01:40:43,280 Speaker 1: I discovered your guys this show like a month ago 1948 01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:46,920 Speaker 1: and been watched basically all of it. Welcome, so I 1949 01:40:47,040 --> 01:40:51,599 Speaker 1: am a big fan. Uh. First, a couple of things 1950 01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:55,200 Speaker 1: to defend Bill Belichick, and then a couple of questions. Um, 1951 01:40:56,240 --> 01:40:59,280 Speaker 1: obviously everyone in the AfD has kind of been going 1952 01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:02,559 Speaker 1: all in this. Yeah, So do you think builds approaching 1953 01:41:02,600 --> 01:41:06,240 Speaker 1: the season as realistically we're not able to compete, so 1954 01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:09,720 Speaker 1: he may as well just go for a better draft pick, 1955 01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:13,160 Speaker 1: maybe do a little better the next few years. I 1956 01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:16,280 Speaker 1: don't think that's yeah, I don't. Yeah. I just think 1957 01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,599 Speaker 1: they're being doing what they do, being methodical. But I mean, 1958 01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:20,720 Speaker 1: you're right, they gotta they gotta hit on the draft. 1959 01:41:20,760 --> 01:41:22,680 Speaker 1: I just did. The lack of young players, that's I 1960 01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:24,720 Speaker 1: think that's what's glaring about this team is is you 1961 01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:27,439 Speaker 1: need that next generation of guys to emerge, and some 1962 01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:28,920 Speaker 1: guys are going to get a chance this year. I 1963 01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:31,240 Speaker 1: think it looks like that. Do you think that? And 1964 01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:33,920 Speaker 1: I'll ask you this to Josh, do you think that 1965 01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:37,520 Speaker 1: the type of players that build drafted this year indicates 1966 01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:41,320 Speaker 1: he's going to be here longer than people think? Ah? 1967 01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:44,000 Speaker 1: I don't really read that much into it. No, okay, 1968 01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:46,040 Speaker 1: I'm not here to tell you that's not true. But 1969 01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:48,320 Speaker 1: I haven't really read into it. Okay, Now, I just 1970 01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:50,280 Speaker 1: thought it was an acknowledgment that they needed to be 1971 01:41:51,080 --> 01:41:53,600 Speaker 1: they needed to improve, especially different But I mean, you 1972 01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:56,920 Speaker 1: know guys that you know, smaller schools, maybe more a 1973 01:41:56,960 --> 01:42:02,160 Speaker 1: little bit more developmental type guys. Know. No, I can't 1974 01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:06,479 Speaker 1: justify the cold, strange pick no matter what. Okay, all right, 1975 01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:12,760 Speaker 1: but my criticism of Bill more recently is kind of specific. 1976 01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:16,280 Speaker 1: Do you guys think Jack Mason was passed his prime 1977 01:42:16,400 --> 01:42:19,280 Speaker 1: or gonna ask for a new contract or something. Why 1978 01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:21,519 Speaker 1: don't we send him away for a fifth and then 1979 01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:25,160 Speaker 1: spend a first on the guard. It's just money. I 1980 01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:27,000 Speaker 1: don't think he's passed his prime. I don't think he 1981 01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:29,120 Speaker 1: was going to ask for more money. But he was 1982 01:42:29,200 --> 01:42:30,680 Speaker 1: making a lot from the but he was making a 1983 01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:34,880 Speaker 1: contract that he signed. Thanks Josh Bill and Vista, California. 1984 01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:38,160 Speaker 1: Speaking of Eric's operation, I couldn't help but think of 1985 01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:40,880 Speaker 1: the scene from the office where Michael asked Oscar if 1986 01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:43,880 Speaker 1: there's anything he should do to prepare for to make 1987 01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:48,759 Speaker 1: his appointment more pleasurable for him and his doctor. Anyway, 1988 01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:52,000 Speaker 1: enjoy the good luck on your next African adventure. You'll 1989 01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:57,920 Speaker 1: be missed. Thank you. That's nice, That's very sweet. Back 1990 01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:03,320 Speaker 1: to the phone, Eldred's in North Carolina. Eldred, Hey, fellas, 1991 01:43:03,360 --> 01:43:07,080 Speaker 1: how y'all doing good? Ea? Scout from miss old Buddy. 1992 01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:09,519 Speaker 1: Like I said on Facebook, go ahead talking to you 1993 01:43:09,560 --> 01:43:14,320 Speaker 1: for these years, I'm gonna try that at least five 1994 01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:17,080 Speaker 1: more years than I quit. At least five more. I'm 1995 01:43:17,080 --> 01:43:21,479 Speaker 1: gonna retire five more than I'm gonna retire from them, right, Fred, Yes, 1996 01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:24,960 Speaker 1: and Paul, I got a question play. I heard you earlier. 1997 01:43:25,360 --> 01:43:30,040 Speaker 1: You're very optimistic. I'm an optimistic thought this come found schedule, 1998 01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:35,360 Speaker 1: so in all considerations, you don't know who the office 1999 01:43:35,439 --> 01:43:38,560 Speaker 1: coordinating is. You don't know who's gonna be calling the 2000 01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:41,360 Speaker 1: play that their first time or they did it on 2001 01:43:41,520 --> 01:43:45,680 Speaker 1: Madden or whatever. Okay, how do you see the sco 2002 01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:48,479 Speaker 1: how you see the record breaking out? And I know 2003 01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:50,200 Speaker 1: if I keeps saying, where we got a shout at 2004 01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:54,400 Speaker 1: the wild Card, but that's what I'm looking at. Yeah, No, 2005 01:43:54,720 --> 01:43:58,960 Speaker 1: it's fair. I mean, like if they if it's a 2006 01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:01,920 Speaker 1: disaster on offense, obviously there, it's going to be a 2007 01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:06,360 Speaker 1: disaster season. So, um, I just I just don't I 2008 01:44:06,479 --> 01:44:09,120 Speaker 1: think Bill will figure it. Like, I think he knows 2009 01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:11,519 Speaker 1: what he's gonna do. He's just he's not into telling 2010 01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:14,439 Speaker 1: anybody yet because he just doesn't want to. That's it's 2011 01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:17,280 Speaker 1: not time for that, you know, in his schedule, it's 2012 01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:20,200 Speaker 1: not time to talk about who's doing what. We're just 2013 01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:22,760 Speaker 1: putting the rookies on the field right now. Guys are 2014 01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:26,960 Speaker 1: gonna be coming in. Well, we'll take things as they come, 2015 01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:29,600 Speaker 1: you know. I think in his mind he knows and 2016 01:44:30,400 --> 01:44:32,639 Speaker 1: you know, I know it's cliche, but I trust them. 2017 01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:34,920 Speaker 1: Yeah see, And that's part of the reason why I 2018 01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:37,280 Speaker 1: think they'll be in wildcard contention. Now, if you're asking 2019 01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:39,519 Speaker 1: me how many games I think they'll win now. A 2020 01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:41,320 Speaker 1: lot of stuff going to go on between now and 2021 01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:43,240 Speaker 1: the start of the season, but I don't see them 2022 01:44:43,280 --> 01:44:45,639 Speaker 1: making it right now. I think it's probably like seventy 2023 01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:49,599 Speaker 1: eight wins. But I mean we had a call it earlier. Things. 2024 01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:52,040 Speaker 1: Nine wins will get you in, so if you win eight, 2025 01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:56,439 Speaker 1: you're in contention, right um. But I think right now 2026 01:44:56,560 --> 01:44:58,639 Speaker 1: there are some teams that I like on paper better 2027 01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:02,160 Speaker 1: than the Patriots. We'll see if PaperWorks, sometimes it doesn't, 2028 01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:06,320 Speaker 1: and sometimes injuries happen, sometimes it doesn't. Mash you know, 2029 01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:10,120 Speaker 1: Son'll see yeah, but I see what everybody else sees. 2030 01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:14,080 Speaker 1: I see some holes on the roster, you know, not rough, 2031 01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:18,280 Speaker 1: but I'm still like everybody else. I mean, that strange 2032 01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:21,720 Speaker 1: pick was a strange pick, especially he had two good 2033 01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:25,719 Speaker 1: corners out there, you know, like Boofing, but Cleary and Gordon. 2034 01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:30,320 Speaker 1: You know, you didn't get there was a need. That's 2035 01:45:30,360 --> 01:45:32,360 Speaker 1: what I'm still stretching my head about. I don't think 2036 01:45:32,360 --> 01:45:34,720 Speaker 1: they're trying to get you know, a little faster free 2037 01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:38,320 Speaker 1: agent wise, you know, and draft wise, and you got 2038 01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:40,599 Speaker 1: anybody mashing up in the secondary. That's what I'm worried, 2039 01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:44,519 Speaker 1: yeah about Yeah, you got to stop him somehow. Yeah, 2040 01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:48,960 Speaker 1: all right, thanks? Thanks. See what do they need to 2041 01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:51,320 Speaker 1: do on defense? What do they need to have to 2042 01:45:51,320 --> 01:45:56,400 Speaker 1: stop him? What would necessity to stop Can we can 2043 01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:58,200 Speaker 1: we force them to punt it? Can we get a punt? 2044 01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:03,160 Speaker 1: Not again? God? What happened to Eric? I don't know? 2045 01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:05,479 Speaker 1: Left early? You just get up and left? Oh? Is 2046 01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:07,240 Speaker 1: this it was? Now? It was one forty five was 2047 01:46:07,280 --> 01:46:13,120 Speaker 1: the time? And he was Uh, Matt, Indiana, Matt, I'm 2048 01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:15,360 Speaker 1: bummed to hear that Eric is calling it quits on 2049 01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:18,719 Speaker 1: the PU Crew. I've enjoyed listening to him on Patriots 2050 01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:21,680 Speaker 1: Unfiltered and John Rookie Show. What's What's John rook Gonna do? 2051 01:46:22,439 --> 01:46:25,719 Speaker 1: Um Artic will come back in to do twenty minutes 2052 01:46:25,720 --> 01:46:27,679 Speaker 1: of rooke. He has a lot of the same negative 2053 01:46:27,720 --> 01:46:30,840 Speaker 1: outlooks that I generally have, so I relate well to him. 2054 01:46:31,320 --> 01:46:33,400 Speaker 1: We are also close to the same age, so we 2055 01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:36,840 Speaker 1: share the same formative Patriots years and experience. I two 2056 01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:41,439 Speaker 1: once owned a Satin Patriots starter jacket in elementary squad. Yes, 2057 01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:44,360 Speaker 1: the Blue gotta have it. My guess is he's to 2058 01:46:44,439 --> 01:46:48,760 Speaker 1: join Megan O'Brien to become the next wrestling tag team champions, 2059 01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:52,080 Speaker 1: me and Megan. Yeah, good luck in the squared circle 2060 01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:55,000 Speaker 1: or wherever your travels may take you. Yeah, who is that? 2061 01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:57,920 Speaker 1: I'm sorry? I Matt in Indiana. Oh, thank you, Matt, 2062 01:46:58,120 --> 01:47:00,720 Speaker 1: appreciate that. Yeah. The starter, the blue starter jacket, the 2063 01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:04,920 Speaker 1: satin one that uh um h Raymond Berry used to 2064 01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:08,519 Speaker 1: wear on the sideline class I had. Yeah, I remember royal, 2065 01:47:08,600 --> 01:47:11,840 Speaker 1: blue royal, the shiny royal. I know it, satin is. 2066 01:47:12,920 --> 01:47:15,000 Speaker 1: Remember those starter That wasn't the part that I was 2067 01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:19,439 Speaker 1: confused about. That was not the red jackets with the 2068 01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:23,759 Speaker 1: block Patriots letters. Those were the with like the stars 2069 01:47:23,800 --> 01:47:26,000 Speaker 1: on them. Yeah, you know those. That's what I was thinking. 2070 01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:29,880 Speaker 1: The long winter coat ones because they used to sell those. 2071 01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:32,360 Speaker 1: And they also had like a lot of sweaters. Remember 2072 01:47:32,360 --> 01:47:36,280 Speaker 1: the sweaters and like that Raymond Barry Cliff engl sweater, 2073 01:47:36,439 --> 01:47:44,320 Speaker 1: bad sweaters remembered on the sideline so ugly. The big 2074 01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:48,800 Speaker 1: winter jacket that ugly. Yeah ugly. I had a pull over, 2075 01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:53,000 Speaker 1: the blue Patriots pullover with a little zipper on the side. 2076 01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:55,080 Speaker 1: I wore that all the time the games. Yeah, I 2077 01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:57,120 Speaker 1: liked that. It's weird. As I grew up, you know, 2078 01:47:57,240 --> 01:47:59,880 Speaker 1: three towns away from the stadium and grew up saying 2079 01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:02,400 Speaker 1: like time frame Eric did eighties nineties and they're pretty 2080 01:48:02,439 --> 01:48:05,519 Speaker 1: bad mostly, but no, everybody seemed like everybody wore more 2081 01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:09,960 Speaker 1: other team stuff.

Amir writes in I 2094 01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:45,840 Speaker 1: don't understand the overreaction regarding the coaching rules, where clearly 2095 01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:49,320 Speaker 1: we have a bigger problem with the PUS staffing. Eric 2096 01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:51,960 Speaker 1: is leaving and now we have no second host and 2097 01:48:52,040 --> 01:48:55,519 Speaker 1: Fred is often hurt in m Ia Samara started the 2098 01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:59,559 Speaker 1: season on pup. Paul is obviously over the hill. It's 2099 01:48:59,640 --> 01:49:03,799 Speaker 1: Mike really ready to carry the show all relevant questions, 2100 01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:07,240 Speaker 1: each and every one of those relevant questions. I mean, 2101 01:49:07,280 --> 01:49:10,080 Speaker 1: I know everybody's probably thrilled for the Deuce solo PU 2102 01:49:10,200 --> 01:49:12,640 Speaker 1: show that the will single hand I'm gonna share with you, 2103 01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:15,679 Speaker 1: So I'll share with you my biggest concern. It's gonna 2104 01:49:15,720 --> 01:49:20,160 Speaker 1: shock you. His role as the number two host, Oh yeah, underrated. 2105 01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:22,800 Speaker 1: We have not filled that. I am really worried about it. 2106 01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:25,920 Speaker 1: What happens when Fred's not here? The show already falls 2107 01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:28,760 Speaker 1: apart where Fred's not here, Let's face it, all right, Hi, 2108 01:49:29,240 --> 01:49:35,360 Speaker 1: I'm Mike. That's just me. Sorry, I'm sorry. I do. 2109 01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:38,240 Speaker 1: I worry about it the whole time. I know, worry. 2110 01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:42,000 Speaker 1: If it's Fred, Deuce and Paul, I think we will 2111 01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:43,680 Speaker 1: be fine. Yeah, you'll be all right. You take one 2112 01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:45,519 Speaker 1: of those three out of the equation. I think it's 2113 01:49:45,560 --> 01:49:47,400 Speaker 1: a train wrecord. Well, it's a train wreck anyway. When 2114 01:49:47,400 --> 01:49:49,479 Speaker 1: there's only two of us, no matter who the two are, 2115 01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:51,920 Speaker 1: it's tough to do a two man show. Sometimes we've 2116 01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:54,639 Speaker 1: had good shows. Yeah, yeah, it depends on if there's 2117 01:49:54,680 --> 01:49:57,000 Speaker 1: news to talk about. If it's Fred and I or 2118 01:49:57,120 --> 01:49:59,000 Speaker 1: Andy and I. It was great. I don't know if 2119 01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:03,000 Speaker 1: you guys can stuck into Andy and I were the 2120 01:50:03,080 --> 01:50:08,920 Speaker 1: A team. I mean that's opinion. I like there was 2121 01:50:08,960 --> 01:50:12,320 Speaker 1: a good sign in Caroline. It was a good sign 2122 01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:15,720 Speaker 1: in Carolina on the glass for the Bruins game. It's, uh, 2123 01:50:16,120 --> 01:50:18,320 Speaker 1: the Patriots aren't good enough to be a holes there 2124 01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:22,960 Speaker 1: be holes. Oh wow, that's a shot. I mean, not 2125 01:50:23,080 --> 01:50:26,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots, the Bruins. I figured that's what did you get? 2126 01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:29,320 Speaker 1: Did you have something of note there? Looked like you 2127 01:50:29,400 --> 01:50:33,320 Speaker 1: were tweets. That's something you'll love hearing about after the show. 2128 01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:36,960 Speaker 1: Good luck one of those tweets, good luck trying to 2129 01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:42,240 Speaker 1: stop you know whopping? Yeah, good luck. Trevor writes in 2130 01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:44,599 Speaker 1: from North Carolina. A couple of questions about the way 2131 01:50:44,640 --> 01:50:47,639 Speaker 1: the Patriots go about their coaching roles. One, are other 2132 01:50:47,720 --> 01:50:50,080 Speaker 1: teams so secretive about their coaching roles or is this 2133 01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:52,840 Speaker 1: just the Patriots thing? Just the Patriots thing? From for 2134 01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:55,000 Speaker 1: all I know, Yeah, it just feels like a lot. 2135 01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:57,880 Speaker 1: It's a lot of effort to like for note, Yeah, 2136 01:50:57,920 --> 01:51:01,759 Speaker 1: I mean for what Tom Current asked Gerard Mayo about 2137 01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:03,880 Speaker 1: that today, you know, like, is it something that you 2138 01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:06,560 Speaker 1: get an advantage out of something that you know, And 2139 01:51:06,800 --> 01:51:08,760 Speaker 1: he said, quite frankly, I don't think other teams even 2140 01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:12,080 Speaker 1: think about it. They don't have right they don't lose 2141 01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:13,880 Speaker 1: any time thinking about any of this kind of stuff 2142 01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:16,200 Speaker 1: right now. They just say, hey, you're coaching this, which 2143 01:51:16,240 --> 01:51:19,000 Speaker 1: I thought was interesting for him to just admit, like, yeah, no, 2144 01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:20,760 Speaker 1: you guys think that there's nothing in it. I don't 2145 01:51:20,760 --> 01:51:22,800 Speaker 1: think there's anything in it because the other teams aren't 2146 01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:25,840 Speaker 1: worried about all of our roles individually. I mean, it 2147 01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:27,840 Speaker 1: also helps that Gerard and Tom have had to just 2148 01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:31,720 Speaker 1: you know, they Girard used to be on Tom's TV show, 2149 01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:33,240 Speaker 1: so they have a little bit of a rapport there. 2150 01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:35,599 Speaker 1: Maybe he's a little bit easier talking to him, but yeah, 2151 01:51:35,880 --> 01:51:38,400 Speaker 1: but it's Art's been pushing back a little bit. He 2152 01:51:38,439 --> 01:51:40,880 Speaker 1: got into it with pell Greeno a little bit. Oh really, 2153 01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:44,640 Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't on that of no, no, no, 2154 01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:47,000 Speaker 1: but just you know, firm like he can be. You know, 2155 01:51:47,120 --> 01:51:50,800 Speaker 1: it was I mean, why Pella Greeno? Yeah, right, was Mayo? Right, 2156 01:51:51,960 --> 01:51:55,479 Speaker 1: Pella Greeno. I figured he was talking to somebody as yesterday. 2157 01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:57,600 Speaker 1: But I mean I feel like he's I feel like 2158 01:51:57,680 --> 01:52:00,240 Speaker 1: he's asking the hard questions that you talk you know, 2159 01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:01,960 Speaker 1: every we talk about him, he goes on the air, 2160 01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,280 Speaker 1: he talks about him, and I think he he's willing 2161 01:52:04,360 --> 01:52:06,240 Speaker 1: to go in and and and press him a little bit. 2162 01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:09,240 Speaker 1: And you know, talking about the secondary things that we've 2163 01:52:09,280 --> 01:52:11,439 Speaker 1: been talking about where you got a couple of rookies, 2164 01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:13,599 Speaker 1: but it looks like you got a lot of turnover there. 2165 01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:15,599 Speaker 1: Do you think you got the pieces to match up? 2166 01:52:15,680 --> 01:52:17,600 Speaker 1: And you know, Mike, I think Mike Paul Green, now, 2167 01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:20,000 Speaker 1: I mean he's always a little prickly and not afraid 2168 01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:22,000 Speaker 1: to kind of be like I think I think at 2169 01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:24,439 Speaker 1: one point I heard him. I think I no, no, 2170 01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:25,920 Speaker 1: in a good way. But I think I think he 2171 01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:30,599 Speaker 1: threw with all due respect, Oh he's got it. Um 2172 01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:33,240 Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean it's it's it's just I just 2173 01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:35,559 Speaker 1: think if you get if you have questions about the defense, 2174 01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:38,439 Speaker 1: go to the top, either go to Bill or go 2175 01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:42,920 Speaker 1: to Mayo and Steve Belichick. Like, all due respect to 2176 01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:44,840 Speaker 1: Mike Paella Green, No, that's not really where I'm looking for, 2177 01:52:45,160 --> 01:52:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, going to for an answer, right, it's not 2178 01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:49,840 Speaker 1: his fault. Uh. Trevor also wants to know is there 2179 01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:52,560 Speaker 1: any actual advantage to being so quiet about this or 2180 01:52:52,720 --> 01:52:54,719 Speaker 1: is it just Bill saying screw you to the media. 2181 01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:57,839 Speaker 1: But I don't know what. I don't think it's necessarily 2182 01:52:57,880 --> 01:52:59,439 Speaker 1: screw you to the media, but I don't think there's 2183 01:52:59,439 --> 01:53:02,439 Speaker 1: any advantage to it either. Also, I've really tased doing it. 2184 01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:05,920 Speaker 1: I've really taken a liking to Paul's diet miller phrase 2185 01:53:06,439 --> 01:53:08,880 Speaker 1: so much, in fact that last weekend I was at 2186 01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:12,040 Speaker 1: a bar in order to diet without even thinking about 2187 01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:16,360 Speaker 1: exchanged confused looks with the bartender before realizing what I 2188 01:53:16,439 --> 01:53:18,840 Speaker 1: said and having to clarify. I've never called it a 2189 01:53:18,920 --> 01:53:24,040 Speaker 1: diet miller in a restaurant. I probably have, but yeah, 2190 01:53:24,120 --> 01:53:26,400 Speaker 1: Fred and Matt were on that one early. I made 2191 01:53:26,479 --> 01:53:30,240 Speaker 1: it up. Oh wow, protective and I remember saying it 2192 01:53:30,360 --> 01:53:33,120 Speaker 1: and Matt said, I like that. Okay, I'll give you 2193 01:53:33,240 --> 01:53:35,760 Speaker 1: full credit. Of course, he said, I liked it, diet miller. 2194 01:53:35,880 --> 01:53:38,200 Speaker 1: My two bosses colliding. I can I can't handle were 2195 01:53:38,240 --> 01:53:41,360 Speaker 1: taking credit for the miller like jokes. Oh we didn't mention. Also, 2196 01:53:41,640 --> 01:53:46,080 Speaker 1: um in passing Gino Cappellina, Oh yes, can I just 2197 01:53:46,160 --> 01:53:48,720 Speaker 1: say sorry? Sorry about that?

I think it was, I 2240 01:56:01,560 --> 01:56:03,600 Speaker 1: want to say twenty six or twenty eight or something 2241 01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:05,680 Speaker 1: like that. It's a long time. Yeah, I mean when 2242 01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:09,800 Speaker 1: you go back and no disrespect to Scott and Bob, 2243 01:56:09,920 --> 01:56:12,800 Speaker 1: but you know, because there were so many great things 2244 01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:15,760 Speaker 1: that happened with Gil and Gino doing the calls. When 2245 01:56:15,800 --> 01:56:18,640 Speaker 1: you listen to that, like your mind goes back and 2246 01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:22,720 Speaker 1: it's it's, um, it's nice, you know, yeah, it's nice. Yeah, 2247 01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:25,560 Speaker 1: they hear them. Well, I think too, because they were 2248 01:56:25,680 --> 01:56:28,600 Speaker 1: from the era where the Patriots had never won. Yeah, 2249 01:56:28,800 --> 01:56:31,440 Speaker 1: so when they got to call that first winning super Bowl, 2250 01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:34,720 Speaker 1: you could point you could feel the thrill that they 2251 01:56:34,760 --> 01:56:37,880 Speaker 1: were experienced when they beat when they beat the Rams 2252 01:56:37,960 --> 01:56:40,280 Speaker 1: the first the first times the Rams, it was almost 2253 01:56:40,320 --> 01:56:43,320 Speaker 1: like an incredulous sound to their vol like they couldn't 2254 01:56:43,320 --> 01:56:47,600 Speaker 1: believe't believe what they were swe like yeah, yeah, but 2255 01:56:47,720 --> 01:56:51,480 Speaker 1: that's Gino in the background, and the Patriots world like 2256 01:56:51,880 --> 01:56:55,280 Speaker 1: how about about That's like it was like like like 2257 01:56:55,440 --> 01:56:58,960 Speaker 1: Jimmy Stewart, what do you know about that? Well? I 2258 01:56:59,040 --> 01:57:01,760 Speaker 1: mean Gil, you know, because he was around in ninety 2259 01:57:01,800 --> 01:57:04,640 Speaker 1: five when they went to the Super Bowl loss ninety 2260 01:57:04,680 --> 01:57:08,080 Speaker 1: six and that ring that we got for the ASC Championship, 2261 01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:10,480 Speaker 1: that's the one he always wore, like he said that 2262 01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:13,880 Speaker 1: was the first one. I liked this one the best. 2263 01:57:14,640 --> 01:57:17,320 Speaker 1: You know, then that two thousand and one happened. Yeah, no, 2264 01:57:17,480 --> 01:57:20,440 Speaker 1: but even after two thousand really yeah, he wore the 2265 01:57:20,480 --> 01:57:24,600 Speaker 1: ASHC Championship ring. Yeah, yeah, it's part of the journey. Wow. Yeah. 2266 01:57:24,680 --> 01:57:26,720 Speaker 1: A lot happened over the last five and it really did, 2267 01:57:26,960 --> 01:57:31,600 Speaker 1: I know, fake show today? Yeah, but yeah, because you know, Fred, 2268 01:57:31,880 --> 01:57:33,360 Speaker 1: you and Matt were talking to me a little bit 2269 01:57:33,360 --> 01:57:35,240 Speaker 1: about the Geno thing, and I was kind of reluctant 2270 01:57:35,240 --> 01:57:37,720 Speaker 1: because I didn't, you know, like I knew him to 2271 01:57:37,920 --> 01:57:41,240 Speaker 1: talk to, and everybody, like Fred said, knew like loved him. 2272 01:57:42,120 --> 01:57:44,200 Speaker 1: But I didn't really feel like I had a lot 2273 01:57:44,280 --> 01:57:48,200 Speaker 1: to give because I didn't know him, you know, exceptionally well. 2274 01:57:48,200 --> 01:57:49,560 Speaker 1: And I was kind of reluctant. I didn't want to 2275 01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:52,360 Speaker 1: embarrass myself by trying to write a tribute to a 2276 01:57:52,440 --> 01:57:56,280 Speaker 1: guy that there's countless people that were a lot closer 2277 01:57:56,320 --> 01:57:58,800 Speaker 1: to him than I was.
