Find your 26 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: perfect shave with Dollar Shave Club in stores. Kind of 27 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: feels like this midweek hype is the lead up to 28 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: a super Bowl. Tom Brady going back to New England. 29 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: This is starting to reach postseason levels, maybe even super 30 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: Bowl levels. And anyone who has known, played with, walked 31 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: by Tom Brady is doing interviews this week. People want 32 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: to know what the random Boston van thinks. Emotions running high, 33 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: higher than any Week four game that I can remember. 34 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: And it's kind of funny because Brady and Belichick they're 35 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: programmed to say, We're just take it one game at 36 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: a time. Do they treat this any differently privately? I'm 37 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: sure they do. There's a lot of pride here. How 38 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: important is this to Brady? How important is this to Belichick? 39 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: Even though it's Week four? You know Belichick can say 40 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: that he wanted to have Tom back. It's clear that 41 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: he wanted to move on. In my opinion, last year 42 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: clearly went Brady's way. This week maybe a chance for 43 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: Belichick to start to even the scales a little bit. 44 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: And the game has a movie script feel to it. 45 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: But after a whole week of analyzing it, we might 46 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: be ready to move on to the next game pretty soon. 47 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: But it should be fun. We'll talk to Tom Kerrn, 48 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: who covers the Patriots with all the drama here, and 49 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: let me refresh your memory with Tom Kerrn earlier this 50 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 1: week had a little back and forth with Bill Belichick. 51 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and get that. I think. Oh wait, sorry, 52 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: I have it. Sorry my bed. He spoke on w 53 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: EI today about Tom Brady looking at his options and 54 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: he decided Tampa was a better option. Why weren't the 55 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: Patriots a better option for him? When both Robert Craft 56 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: and Brady himself said over and over how much they 57 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: wanted him to finish his career here. Yeah, Well, I mean, 58 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go back and rehash all that we've 59 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: talked about that really you've never talked about it with us. 60 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: To focus on the game here, and look, I have 61 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: so much respect and appreciation for Tom and everything he 62 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: did here and for me and for our team. And 63 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: you know, we're just getting ready to compete against Tampa 64 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: this week and we're gonna keep our focus on that. 65 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: But you've never you talked about rehashing dynamics that you've 66 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: already gone through. You've never done that. Yeah, we made 67 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: a statement when Tom left and I covered it. You're 68 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: surprised how well he's played his from sixty one touchdown 69 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: passes in twenty three games down there, won a Super Bowl. Yeah, 70 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: Tom is a great player. Nothing surprised me that he does. 71 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: I love that Tom Curran tags his question or his 72 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: response with and won a super Bowl. Just a oh 73 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: by the way, coach, in case you didn't watch the 74 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But you can't ask to rehash if you 75 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: haven't hashed in the first place. Yes, Seaton, but it's 76 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: not like the Patriots are going to be significantly better 77 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: last year with Tom Brady. Would they have been a 78 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: playoff team with Tom Brady last year? I believe so 79 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: because they were on the CUSP with Cam Newton. Cam 80 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: Newton didn't have any practice time. There was COVID. They 81 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: lost starters on the defensive side, of the ball almost 82 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: made the playoffs. Do I think they would have been 83 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: a playoff team with Tom? Yes, I do, yeah, probably, yeah, absolutely, yes. Boy, 84 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: does it feel like open season on Bill? Yeah, I can't. 85 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: We've been doing this Bill Belichick cuts for fifteen years 86 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: on this show. I can't remember ring one reporter ever 87 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: cut him off and interrupt. And Tom Curran's been there forever, 88 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: and he knows the drill. He cut him off and 89 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: kind of owned him a little bit five years ago. 90 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: I don't think Tom Curran does that. I don't think 91 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: anybody does that. Maybe two years ago you don't do that. 92 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: But all of a sudden Tom leaves, Tom wins, Patriots 93 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: don't win, and all of a sudden Bill Belichick is average. 94 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to interrupt you, coach, coach, You've never you've 95 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: never hashed this out. Yeah, we'll talk to Tom Kurrn 96 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: coming up here in a little bit. Yes, McLevin, I 97 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: have sort of a poll question if you could, if 98 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: I could give you one of these beats. You're a 99 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: cub reporter, a TV reporter or print reporter early two thousands, 100 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: and where they were then and where they are now, 101 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 1: I'll give you the Patriots, who were arguably the fourth 102 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: most popular team in Boston the Cavaliers before two thousand 103 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: and four, or SEC football four two thousand beats. Paul 104 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: Feinbaum was always cover SEC football and he was never 105 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: famous until this last two decades. So you get basically 106 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: on the precipice of enormous success, which what don't you 107 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: think it'd be more fun? Well, also you got to 108 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: factor an ESPN propped up the SEC with the SEC 109 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: Network and you know, devoting even more coverage too. I 110 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: mean they've always had great football there, it was just 111 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: when ESPN annoyed you. Like ESPN has made stars out 112 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: of people that aren't stars. But if you're at the mothership, 113 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: you become a little bit more wild widely known like 114 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: John Clayton, wonderful football reporter, but because he was at 115 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: the mothership, you get an elevated status there whatever they touch. 116 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: Paul Feinbaum has been doing the same thing for a 117 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: long long time. Then he gets on the national stage. 118 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: Now his word means more. He's the same guying, had 119 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: the same information, hosted the same kind of show, but 120 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: ESPN annoyed you. Then all of a sudden things changed, 121 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: So I think you got to factor that in what 122 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: I want to be around the Cavaliers or the Patriots. 123 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,559 Speaker 1: By way, So we know Brian Winhorse made a career 124 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: out of covering lebron That's another one. And we know 125 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: Seth Wickersham's made a career out of covering the Patriots 126 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: in right place, right time. It's an industry. Seth Wickersham 127 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: has a book coming out. I think in a couple 128 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: of weeks. There's some excerpts have been leaked by the 129 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: Mothership because he works there. And I was saying yesterday 130 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: we're going to get the full story one day about 131 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: a lot of these things. It could be Malcolm Butler 132 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 1: getting benched in the Super Bowl. It could be Tom 133 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: Brady wanting to meet face to face with Bill Belichick 134 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: as he was leaving New England and Bill said, I can't, 135 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: let's talk over the phone. What happened was spy get 136 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many things that Deflake Gate, Aaron Hernandez, 137 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: you know, Robert Kraft, Garoppolo Trey. I mean, there's so 138 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: much attached to it because the bottom line was they 139 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: were winning Super Bowls. That's why you know, these stories 140 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: got bigger and bigger and bigger. They metastasized because all 141 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're going, what does this mean? What's 142 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: this mean for the bottom line? Are they going to 143 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: be able to you know, compete, Are they going to 144 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: win another championship? How many does Tom have to you 145 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: know win to be the greatest? How many does Belichick 146 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: have to win? Everything had a bottom line of importance. 147 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: You know, there was you know, some real depth to 148 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: these things and wait to these things of decisions that 149 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: were made. Also, one thing that needs to be pointed 150 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: out that I don't think is mentioned enough in my opinion, 151 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: It's easy to say, well, Brady left and won a 152 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl in Tampa, and he should be acknowledged for that. 153 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: That he didn't need Bill Belichick. He had a great 154 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: team there. He was a great leader for them throughout 155 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: from start to finish. When they had the offseason workouts, 156 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: when they weren't even supposed to be gathering, he did 157 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: whatever could he needed to do to be available for 158 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: that team and make sure that they want a Super Bowl. 159 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: What we tend to forget is Bill Belichick, as a 160 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for the New York Giants, created a game 161 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: plan to stop the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl. 162 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: The game plan itself is in the Hall of Fame. 163 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick designed that to stop the Buffalo Bills. Tom 164 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: Brady wasn't on that team. They famously had three down lineman, 165 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: five linebackers, and that's how they went against Thurman Thomas, 166 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: Jim Kelly and that great off the you know, the 167 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: K gun with the Buffalo Bills. Belichick created that. And look, 168 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: I'm not an apologist for Belichick. It's just sometimes I 169 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: think it's easy to go, let's pick the quarterback here. Now. 170 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: Can I find issue with Bill Belichick the GM. Absolutely. 171 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a good GM. I don't think 172 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: he can draft players, certainly in the first round. You know, 173 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: he's had a lot of missus. Now can he get 174 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: players to play? You know why? I think he got 175 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: players to play because Tom Brady was the quarterback. All 176 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: put up with that because I have a chance to 177 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: win a championship. I really feel that way. I think 178 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: Chris Long went to New England win a Super Bowl 179 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: and then he left. I don't think it's a place 180 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: where you can stay a long period of time. And 181 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: that might be by your choice or certainly by Bill 182 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: Belichick's choice. But Belichick does some brilliant things. He's been 183 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: described as an idiot savant. I think he does one 184 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: thing extremely well. But I'm not picking a side for 185 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: the argument here, but it feels like that's what this 186 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: has come down to. Are you pro Brady? Are you 187 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: pro Belichick? Do I think they needed each other? Yes? 188 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: I do. Do I think Bill had a great game 189 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: plan for when Tom was leaving, What are you gonna do? No, 190 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: not at all. Nobody was buying into Jared's Stidham. Nobody was. 191 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: And then you bring in Cam no training camp and 192 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: you throw him out there, and then all of a 193 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: sudden you kind of wake up one day and you go, 194 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 1: this isn't our guy. You got Mac Jones, Now you 195 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: got your quarterback. Now you got a rookie contract there, 196 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: and now maybe you can rebuild that team. But I 197 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: am in no way picking sides because do I think 198 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: Brady needed to have Belichick? Absolutely? Do I think Belichick 199 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: needed to have Brady? Absolutely? Now Brady has proven he 200 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: can win in Tampa. Now we got to find out 201 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: if Bill Belichick can answer. Yeah. It does seem kind 202 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: of crazy that now, just because Tom Brady won a 203 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: super Bowl in Tampa. Bill Belichick doesn't know what he's doing. Yeah, 204 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: it's a pretty crazy lead to take after the last 205 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: twenty years. He left after twenty years. Yeah, and you know, 206 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: Tempa goes into this game and then Brady can't make 207 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: it more than what it is. It's week four, and 208 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: that's going to be the hard part. You know, Belichick 209 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: is going to approach this game like he always does. Hey, 210 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: these are the things that we're going to try to do. 211 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: This is what I'm going to have the offense try 212 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: to do. I don't think he's looking at this as 213 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: hey it's Tom Brady. I think he's looking at a quarterback. 214 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: This is what that quarterback does. And look at the 215 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 1: tendencies and who are we going to double? And how 216 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: many times do we blitz? How do we blitz? How 217 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: do we control the temple? Like These are things that 218 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: Bill goes in as a coach where it's business, where 219 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: I think for Brady it might be a little more personal. 220 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: You didn't want me. I'm going to come back and 221 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to put on a display. Sometimes you try 222 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: too hard in a situation like that. I don't think 223 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: Belichick's going to try too hard. I think he's just 224 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: going to be Belichick that this is what he does, 225 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: this is my game plan. I plug it in, I'm 226 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: going to go. He might be flatliningists like he doesn't 227 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: like he's every time I've been around him, it doesn't 228 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: seem like anything really bothers him. He just flatlines Brady. 229 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: Brady's gonna be fired up. Brady gets fired up, He's 230 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: gonna run out that tunnel. They probably run to the 231 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: end zone, and he's gonna say, let's bleep and go, 232 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: as he used to do every weekend those home games 233 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: in New England. I think you've got to be careful 234 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: you don't get over your skis and get too excited 235 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: and want to put up five hundred yards and throw 236 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: for five touchdowns here, because usually those things tend to 237 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: backfire on you. Yeah, Polly, going back to mclovet's pole question, 238 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: which team would you want to be a beat reporter 239 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: for starting in two thousand, Patriots have to be the 240 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: one seed. I would throw the Lakers in there, because 241 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: if you go back to two thousand, your Kobe, your Shack, 242 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: your Fill, and that whole thing, and then afterwards the 243 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: ups and downs the Lakers have constant drama even when 244 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: they're not good, even in the later years of Kobe Bryant. 245 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: That covering that team, what a fantastic gig that is. Yeah, 246 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: there was that Nick Van Exel period where they were 247 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: this suddenly disappeared for a few years. I don't even 248 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: remember when that was, but Cedric Saballos, Yeah, Nick Van 249 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: actually did have a little downturn. Eight seven seven three 250 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: DP show email address dp A Dan Patrick dot com 251 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: Twitter handle a DP show. So what's pull question We're 252 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: gonna go with. I'm saving it because it's super thought provoking, right, 253 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: It's gonna provoke so many thoughts out there. Really, Yes, 254 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: it's about quarterbacks. Okay, saving it unless you want to know. 255 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: Does this have to do okay? Is this about something positive? No, 256 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: of course not. Oh okay, does this have something to 257 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: do with Ben Roethlisberger. Yes, indeed. Okay, here's another overreaction. Okay, 258 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: we want to overreact to Ben Roethlisberger that this is 259 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: the end. Oh my gosh, this is terrible. This is 260 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: Johnny unitis, this is Joe Namath, Ben Roethlisberger end of 261 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: their careers. Oh, they need to retire three games? How 262 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: about we wait a little bit here, But you got Packers, Broncos, Seahawks. 263 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: The Seahawks game is on national TV. That to me, 264 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: is going to be the game that will stand out 265 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: the most because everybody will have an opinion, and then 266 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: you have a bye week after that. If you were 267 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: going to make a transition, let's say Ben has lost 268 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: it completely. If you're going to make a transition, and 269 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's one of those where Ben says, hey, 270 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to retire if the Steelers 271 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: go to another quarterback. Is he going to stay? What 272 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: if he plays well? What if he somehow plays well? 273 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: What if the defense comes back and plays I was 274 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: trying to say something nice. That's not dance. Okay, I 275 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: did not hit that button, But my bad, I like 276 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: the steal dance. Dang, I know, I thought you're making 277 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: a joke. No, there is a real possibility that Ben 278 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: could actually play well. Yes, there is a real chance. 279 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: There's a chance. There's a chance. All right, we'll come back, 280 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: we'll settle on the poll question and Tom Kerrn will 281 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: join us. We'll ask him about going toe to toe. 282 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: When he interrupted Belichick, what did he think was going 283 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: to happen. After that, we'll take a break. Your phone 284 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: calls are always welcome, emails, tweets, all the above.

We'll start out this is a Tommy Current special. 316 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: You could pick one franchise a cover in the early 317 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: two thousands, the New England Patriots can hang out with 318 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: Tom and Felgern Mass or the Cleveland Cavaliers in two 319 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: thousand and four, or a SEC football that's sort of 320 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: when they partnered up with ESPN and took over the 321 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: sports saucy. It's bringing Tom Ekerrn. He gets the cover 322 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: of the Patriots an insider for NBC Sports Boston. When 323 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: did you start covering the Patriot nineteen hundred ninety seven 324 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's first year. Oh, what do you remember about Pete? 325 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: He was relentlessly optimistic and upbeat and just really not 326 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: ready for the cynical, mean spirited nature of the post 327 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: Parcels Patriots media. What was your initial reaction when Belichick 328 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: got hired That it's obvious that they should have done 329 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: it three years before. And I asked Robert crafton his 330 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: introductory press conference, why didn't you hire him after Parcel's left? 331 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: And he said, you know, he was too close to Parcels. 332 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: It's a good question, but he was too close to 333 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: Parcels at the time. You start to look at this 334 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: this game, it feels almost like a build up to 335 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with the media coverage. What is it 336 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: like locally? And it doesn't have that feel? Yeah, it 337 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: absolutely does. I think there's fatigue and there's less conversation 338 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: about what's going to happen between the lines as opposed 339 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: to what the reactions will be. What are the reactions 340 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: of the fans. What are the Patriots to as an 341 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: organization when Brady breaks Breeze his record sixty eight more 342 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: yards to become a career passing leader who plays like 343 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 1: ass Brady or Mac those are the things that are 344 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: more focused on. Then Hey, how theyre going to hold 345 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: back that Tampa Bay front. You know, there's so many 346 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: questions on the outside that people I think are asking, like, 347 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: does it mean more to Belichick? Doesn't mean more to Brady? 348 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: Could you quantify an answer with it. I think the 349 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: individual victory it has, it's gonna have a lot to 350 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: do with the nature of the win, in the nature 351 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: of the game. You know, the Patriots are one and two, 352 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: but they haven't played really well in any of the 353 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: three games. This is post Brady, so there's seven and whatever, 354 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: eight and eleven since he left. But they spent all 355 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: the money, so people like myself expected, Hey, it's gonna 356 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: be probably a twelve win season just by osmosis. And 357 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: if it's not and they get their asses handed to them, Dan, 358 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be very disgruntled by the second half inside 359 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: that stadium. And you know that NBC will cut from 360 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: the noise of the fans to Bill to the fans, 361 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: to Bill, to Brady on the other side, the optics 362 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: won't be great. What answer did you want out of 363 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: Belichick when you interrupted? You know, let me play it again. 364 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: Now it was were you rude? It popped out of 365 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,719 Speaker 1: my mouth before I knew it was popping out. All right, 366 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: Here is Tom Kerrin going toe to toe with Bill Belichick. 367 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: He spoke on w EI today about Tom Brady looking 368 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: at his options and he decided Tampa was a better option. 369 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: Why weren't the Patriots a better option for him? When 370 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: both Robert Craft and Brady himself said over and over 371 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: how much they wanted him to finish his career here. Yeah, Well, 372 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna go back and rehash all 373 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: that we've talked about that. Really you've never talked about 374 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: it with us. Some focus on the game here, and look, 375 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: I have so much respect and appreciation for Tom and everything. Okay, 376 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: So Tom, what what did you expect Batlichick to say? See? 377 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, is it popped out of my mouth 378 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: because it's several years and I've had a good relationship 379 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: with Bill. I don't think it's awesome right now, but 380 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: several years of him saying that we've talked about things 381 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: that were never talked about, so that really fell out. 382 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: What I would love for him to say is see, 383 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: he's being disingenuous. The offer and the option that Brady 384 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: looked at relative to the Patriots was never what he 385 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: asked for and was never what they kind of agreed 386 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: to give him. In the summer of twenty nineteen and 387 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: the summer of twenty nineteen, it was a very simple 388 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: request from Brady, the breeze contract, two years, fifty million dollars, 389 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: all guaranteed, We're done. I'll stay here through twenty twenty. 390 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: Patriots instead gave him a kind of phony second year 391 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: and an eight million dollar bump, and that's what he said. 392 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: You know what, So when it got to twenty twenty, 393 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: there was no option offered by the Patriots, So maybe 394 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: I was looking for Bill to say, you know what, Tom, 395 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: let's just put it this way. Philosophically, both on the 396 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: football field and financially for our roster, the option that 397 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: Tom had in Tampa Bay was going to be superior 398 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: to the one that we offered. We weren't in a 399 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: position to match anything that they were going to do. Philosophically, 400 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: or financially. That's better than we talked about it when 401 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: you didn't. Yeah, you can't rehash if you haven't hashed, 402 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: and men I mean that, but you're right. Belichick has 403 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: a way of just saying we, you know, we we 404 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: We've discussed that. Like in Bill's World, he discussed it 405 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: by maybe having one line. You know, reporters want to 406 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: know there's more to this seth Wickersham has a new 407 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: book out on the Patriots, kind of behind the curtain here. 408 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: Do you think anything is unearthed with the relationship or 409 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: lack thereof, of Brady and Belichick. I think there'll be 410 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: a lot of unearthing of details behind it, you know, 411 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: in terms of anecdotal stuff, and you know, reading some 412 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: of the excerpts today, it's it's going to be a 413 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: fast nating Reid, you know, just the whole triangle of 414 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: agitation that was going on. He's going to be interesting 415 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: to read. Brady loved the success of the Patriots. He 416 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: hated the interpersonal relationship that he had with Belichick, and 417 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: he hated it because it could have been better and 418 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: should have been better, and he wanted it to be better, 419 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: but it just wasn't going to be that way, and 420 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: he knew that he was going to go the way 421 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: of Mankins or Seymour or Vinitary or Law or whoever. 422 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: He knew that was awaiting him. That's why he wanted 423 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: to get ahead of it. And that's why he kept 424 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: asking for the extensions. Do you think when Bill wouldn't 425 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: do it, he was just you know, I know what's 426 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna do to me. But Tom had to know. 427 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is not capable of being that kind of 428 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: coach touchy feely. Yes, how come he can do it 429 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: with like the thirty eighth guy on the roster, but 430 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: he can't do it with his best player. Because he 431 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: can and he does. You think that he could be, 432 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: you know, a Bruce Arian's kind of guy, but should 433 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: You're not looking for Bruce Arians. But say, for instance, 434 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: you know, the week before the twenty eighteen Super Bowl 435 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 1: or AFC Championship, and your hand gets ripped open to 436 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: an extent that it does, and there's a real question 437 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: as to whether or not you're gonna play, and you 438 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: play through the pain of it and everything, and then 439 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: someone asked you about it. It's not a heart surgeon, 440 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: it's not so I mean you're like that, that's crituitous, 441 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: that's cratuitous crappiness toward the kid. And at some point 442 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: he's like, well, that's that's just he's got it out 443 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 1: for me specifically because of the level I've risen too. 444 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: I think in many ways it's he someone had a 445 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: great line to me. It was one of the people 446 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,959 Speaker 1: in the organization about Wes Welker. Belichick adored Wes Welker 447 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: at three million dollars a year, At nine million dollars 448 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: a year, hated hated. So there you have it. Yeah, 449 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: I just don't know. If you see Bill after they 450 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl, I mean he does, there is 451 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 1: emotion there. He holds Tom like he's his son, but 452 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: then ten minutes after it's done, he's over with. It's 453 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: over six times in his life he's shown that kind 454 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: of emotion, and that's when they win a Super Bowl. 455 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: He's not incapable of the emotion. He's not incapable of 456 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: human warmth. I mean, he's done many unbelievably generous philanthropic things, 457 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: and he still does. He's not a horrible person. It's 458 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: just with his employees. In order for him to get 459 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: from them what he wants. He has to treat them, 460 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: he believes in a certain way, especially the ones who 461 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: are quote unquote above the others. But Lawrence Taylor, I mean, 462 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: he coached the best offensive player and the best defensive 463 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: player arguably in NFL history. But Lawrence Taylor got miles 464 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: and miles and miles of Bill bending over backwards for him. 465 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: And there's a problem, a reason for that, because Bill 466 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: still hadn't been a head coach, and Lawrence was his 467 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: pathway to become a head coach, just to make sure 468 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: that he was on the field and you could bend 469 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: to get things from him. But if Lawrence Taylor was 470 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: playing for Belichick as a head coach, how would Bill 471 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: have treated Lawrence two. I think it'd be different. I 472 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: think it would be different until the outlier skills, you know, 473 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: became a distraction. See, Brady Belichick believed was imminently replaceable. 474 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:36,199 Speaker 1: Brady knew that Belichick held that sentiment. Belichick was not 475 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: shy about sharing that sentiment. Lawrence Taylor wasn't replaceable, and 476 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: that's the biggest part of Brady's being elsewhere. I mean, 477 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: Belichick really would have loved to have gone with Jimmy Garoppolo. 478 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: It's it's interesting think about it. What would have happened 479 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: if twenty eight three turned into thirty one fourteen or 480 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: forty two to ten. The timeline would have been perfect. 481 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: That's twenty sixteen. You say goodbye to Tom, Jimmy's the quarterback, 482 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: you're on You're on your way. Instead, they have that 483 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: miraculous comeback and Brady's the MVP in twenty seventeen. And 484 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: n Ice Grew is Belichick like driven by ego that that, 485 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: you know, he wants to be viewed as I'm the 486 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: reason why we win, not Tom Brady and that competition 487 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: that he did not like. I think that's a pretty 488 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: big facet of it. Yeah, and he will obviously say 489 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's the players. It's the players. It's 490 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: the players. But a lot of those players because Bill 491 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: as a general manager, are players who are unearthed by Bill. 492 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: You know. So whether it's creating Matt Slater or David Andrews. 493 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: You look along their offensive line and it's dotted with 494 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: undrafted guys are Malcolm Butler or Devi mccordy, who was 495 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: a surprise first round pick. But you're a Mayo who's 496 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: those are guys that Bill fines. And then when he 497 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: says it's the players, it's the players, it's the players, Well, 498 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: how do those players get there? Well, Julian Edelman got 499 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: there because Bill was pressure enough to hire him. Where 500 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,479 Speaker 1: Wes Welker is a you know, a scrub in Miami. 501 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: So it cuts both ways. But Bill is absolutely very 502 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: concerned with who he has to share the spot bight 503 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: in the acclaim with, and he does it, but he 504 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: doesn't want to get to the point where it's an 505 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: actual conversation. Okay, as the McDaniels are. Bill, he doesn't 506 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: want that. What happens Sunday night. I was talking to 507 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: our friend Rich Eisen, and I used to did you 508 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: watch Game of Thrones? No, you didn't know. I can 509 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: see you do that. I break down game film. I don't. 510 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: I don't have time. You grind grind ye, I'm sure 511 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have time. Definitely, it's gonna look 512 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: like the Red Wedding. I end up watching game film, grinding, 513 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: grinding film. I don't have time. Nice to watch him, yeah, 514 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: big watching. I am on the throne. I do you 515 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: know who I am? On? Bill Belichick? I'm the throne 516 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: your game of enthusiasm, curb your throne. So what happens 517 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: on Sunday night? You think Buccaneers ruffelm up? What'll be 518 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: interesting I think is Bill will hatch a game plan 519 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: to make sure that he doesn't get forty dropped on him. 520 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: That means people with deep all night, and you invite 521 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: Metaphornette and Ronald Jones to run the football as much 522 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: as possible. So I'm thinking, like twenty seven thirteen seventeen. Okay, 523 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: finish this sentence. What if the Patriots win the game, 524 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: You're going to see just huge vindication and elation. And 525 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: I mean it'll be It'll be a massive upset. Okay. 526 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: And I The interesting thing is in games like this, 527 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: if you said, what if the Patriots win the game 528 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: when they were backed into a corner, it would be 529 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: because of Brady. I don't know who. It would because 530 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: be because of this week. I don't know what individual 531 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: player would have an out of body experience to deliver 532 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: that win. Postgame handshake hug Neither depends on the result Buccaneers. 533 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:25,239 Speaker 1: Buccaneers win, probably a pregame hug. Pregame pregame hug. Yeah. Uh, 534 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: Paulie wants to take you up on that bed. What 535 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: do you want to bet with Curran? On this I 536 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: could see a pregame conversation and maybe a pregame handshake, 537 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: but a hug. I think if you're gonna have a conversation, 538 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a hug initiated by whom Tom, No, 539 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: it would always be the initiator. Oh, the initiator based 540 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: off what Wait, there's a deflator, the initiator because you 541 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: don't go running up to your nineteen fifties dad and 542 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: embrace him. You wait for him to make the first move. Son. 543 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: I was always very proud of you, you know. I 544 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: always told the guys down to the bar, I love you. 545 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: That's that's the relationship. Brady took to run over and 546 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: hug him like me and GD did remember, remember the 547 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: whole thing? Would Mad and run out and hug him, 548 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: and then Bill wouldn't hug him, and then Bill ran 549 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: out and hugged him harder. Paul, he has sixteen dollars 550 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: to his name. You're willing to bet sixteen dollars? No 551 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: pregame hug or handshit. No pregame hug. Handshake is in play. 552 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: Handshake is in play. That's too specific for me to 553 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: put that. Then I need odds. I'll give you thirty 554 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: to your fifteen. I'll come up with some scratch, thirty 555 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: dollars to your fifteen. Right, I'll give you fifteen bucks 556 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: if there's no pregame hug, just to the action, really okay, 557 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: because because now there's a reason to watch the game. 558 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: Well now I had action on pregame? Yeah. Uh. Do 559 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: you get to talk to Belichick anymore this week? Yeah? Uh? 560 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: Friday morning. It will be a fun day as usually 561 00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: good on Fridays. Oh many, Thank you, tom bye bye? 562 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: Play nice. That's Tommy Current. He covers the Patriots. He's 563 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: an insider there, he interrupted Bill Belichick. Yeah, Paul, what 564 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: costumes a hug? If it's one of those handshakes back 565 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: shoulder pats, Do they have to make contact shoulder to shoulder? No? 566 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: I think you can do the lean in, a lean 567 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: in with arm around the back, which is a bro hug. Yes, 568 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: that counts, yes, okay, yeah, I may be in trouble 569 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: then yes, yeah, I think the flat of the hand 570 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: on the back I think we should have as a hug. Okay, 571 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: does anybody think there's no interaction pre game between these two, 572 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: I think there's something I think I think just out 573 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: of out of respect, like you don't want that to linger, 574 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: you don't want that to get bigger as the game 575 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: goes on. And then what happens at the end of 576 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: the game, And if let's say New England wins, does 577 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: Tom Brady reach out to Belichick after the game, Because 578 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: if the Buccaneers win, I'm sure you know Tom's gonna 579 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: be like, hey, hey, Bill, big hug, thank you, Hey, 580 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: good luck? Okay, yes, ton What would that awkward pre 581 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: hug or handshake conversation be, Like, I'm sure it'd be brief. 582 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 1: What do you say, like a good luck today, It's 583 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 1: good to see you, yeah, and that's about to say, hey, coach, 584 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: good luck tonight. But I do think that you're gonna 585 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: have Robert Kraft there, because Robert Kraft is always on 586 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: the sidelines with his son and hugging everybody, and I 587 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: do believe that they'll have a moment and then maybe 588 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: with the proximity of Belichick being there, that you might 589 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 1: do a hug spell over sort of a wedding reception, 590 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: like the greeting line like yeah, type's nice to be Hey, 591 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: I'm very happy for your moment there. Congratulations on the 592 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: nice couple. Yes, Pa, But mister Kraft will probably get 593 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: the two arms embrace from Todd. Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, 594 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: but that but I think that he might initiate that, right. 595 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think they have a good relationship. Yes, 596 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: MC club. Is it possible that Belichick is actually doesn't 597 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: even care about this game more than any other game, 598 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: Like he's such a weirdo that he's not into this. 599 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: There's just too much attached to it. Even though he's detached, 600 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: it feels like there's too much attached to it. And 601 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: he knows that there's so much here, and he knows 602 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: he's going to have to answer these questions win or lose. 603 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: He has to answer these questions and continue to answer 604 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 1: these questions. I just will. But I think it certainly 605 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: would help answering those questions. If you win this game, yeah, Ton, 606 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 1: And if the Bucks do win by two touchdowns plus 607 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: or whatever. The Brady mac Jones a little interaction at 608 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: the end, that's just a quick you know, young buck, 609 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 1: you know, keep trying, you'll get you'll get there. Yeah, 610 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: but that's he's going to do that to mac Jones. 611 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: Like Tom Brady's not mad at Mac Jones. I mean 612 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: they moved on with Cam Newton. They didn't move on 613 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: with Mac Jones, so I don't that's not an issue. 614 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: And quarterbacks always hug you know, they're in the same fraternity. 615 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: All right, We'll come back with our play of the 616 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: day and your phone calls after this.

Maybe 655 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: even in Saint Louis, they don't say things like that. 656 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: They would never, they would just say, hey, Cubs, we 657 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: wish you well. But Saint Louis, it just feels like 658 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:37,439 Speaker 1: every year names change, managers change, stars change, but they're 659 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: always relevant. Do they have Adam Wayne Wright? Adam Wayne 660 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 1: Wright's like forty, isn't he. John Lester's is late thirties 661 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,879 Speaker 1: as well. You're making that up. Adam Wayne Rights not stell. 662 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: I think he's forty years of age. He was there 663 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: with Tommy Hearn Willie McGee. No, he was not. I 664 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: saw him interview. If I was a Cardinals fan, I 665 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,439 Speaker 1: would brag so much about it, But you never hear there. 666 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: They seem very nice and content. They're dangerous, that's for sure. Yeah, 667 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,879 Speaker 1: but I always worry that sometimes you expend a lot 668 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: of your energy and you're winning, and then you're going 669 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: to go into the playoffs and are you going to 670 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: have that one game that you're ready to have Trott 671 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: somebody out and went man. They have pitchers who have 672 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: been big game pitchers before. I mean Lester's closed out 673 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,240 Speaker 1: the World Series before. I think maybe maybe twice. Yamp 674 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 1: On Adam Wainwright has been a Cardinal since two thousand 675 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: and five. Yeah, that's before Facebook. He uh seventeen and 676 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 1: seven this year? Is he forty years of He just 677 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:42,359 Speaker 1: turned forty last month? Thirty? Uh? Mike in New York, Hey, Mike, 678 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? They did a six one 679 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: two thirty. First time caller. Been listening for long time, 680 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: not a first day. I wanted to piggyback dollars. You're 681 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: talking about Belichick and Brady from last year. If Brady 682 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 1: head State and I do agree that they probably would 683 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,439 Speaker 1: have made the playoffs and even made a good run. 684 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 1: I think the Brady effect of him leaving. Something I 685 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,320 Speaker 1: talked about a lot whenever they talk about the failures 686 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 1: and the Patriots last year was that they had a 687 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,359 Speaker 1: league high nine players opt out due to COVID, and 688 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: several of them were starters. On the flip side of that, though, 689 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm also a Giants fan, and I don't believe Belichick 690 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 1: should get as much credit for that nineteen ninety Super 691 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: Bowl when considering the offense had the ball for over 692 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: forty minutes. I don't believe the offensive coordinator on Earhart 693 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: gets enough credit for his game plan going into that 694 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and doing what they did, controlling the ball 695 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 1: on the clock for almost three quarters of that game. Yeah, 696 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: it's a great point. You know, that was incredible. They 697 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: kept they kept the offense off the field, and when 698 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 1: the offense got on the field, the Buffalo Bills tried 699 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: to make something happen. But I do know that that 700 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: was Bill Belichick's defense and they shut down one of 701 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: the great offenses in NFL history, and I think that 702 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: his defensive plan went to the Hall of Fame. I 703 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 1: just think we forget about Belichick. And I know you 704 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,319 Speaker 1: can bring up the Cleveland Browns and he failed with 705 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, but you know he has been successful 706 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: prior to that and what he's done in New England. 707 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 1: As much as I can, you know, kind of bang 708 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: on him with some of these first round draft picks 709 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: that he doesn't do well. He does find players. I mean, 710 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:33,479 Speaker 1: who who finds Julian Edelman, less Welker the offensive line. Now, 711 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 1: imagine if he used those first round draft picks, you 712 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,359 Speaker 1: know appropriately, you know how much better they probably would 713 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: have been offensively, nikkil Harry is a bust. Sony Michelle 714 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: is not there any longer. It just Bill does find players, 715 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: and he does get rid of players, usually a year 716 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:57,879 Speaker 1: earlier than a year later. But he's not a great 717 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 1: general manager. Yeah with Lovin, didn't Cleveland get confusing because 718 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 1: they were moving or something? And uh like there was 719 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: all he had. I'd look at his record. He's eleven 720 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 1: and five his second to last year there. But then 721 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: I think ownership completely crumbled, So maybe he would have 722 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,319 Speaker 1: been okay there, I don't know. Yeah, that's a hard 723 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: franchise at that time to win with. Yes, it was 724 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: even Belichick couldn't overcome the Cleveland Browns back then. Uh 725 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: so we got to pull question I do so, which 726 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: which team would you want to cover? In the early 727 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: two thousand the Patriots run away with it, um over 728 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: the Cavaliers and the SEC football. You didn't put the 729 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: Lakers up there? Um, I don't know it. Did anybody 730 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: like profit off the Lakers like Brian Wyndhorse. I feel 731 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 1: like these these were markets that you might not have 732 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 1: thought of that created stars. That's why I thought the 733 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 1: Lakers were different. Well, the Cavaliers certainly. You know, that 734 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 1: was a cottage industry covering it still was a cottage 735 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 1: industry covering Lebron. Dave mcmentiments followed him around. Yeah, you 736 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: got guys who Joe Arden like, guys who have they go? 737 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 1: Where Lebron? Hey, I'm going to Miami. All right, I'm 738 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,840 Speaker 1: moving to Miami, Hunt, Lebron's going west. We're moving to 739 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Think of any Is there another player that 740 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: you're you're covering like it's a Lebron beat? Yeah, Paul, 741 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,840 Speaker 1: remember that spoof Cleveland tourism video. Yes, our economy is 742 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: based on Lebron jameson what was the ending? At least 743 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:32,320 Speaker 1: we're not Detroit. We're not Detroit. Yeah. One hour of 744 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 1: the books, two more to go.
