    Schefter tells D&C that Julius Peppers will NOT be a Patriot next year

    julius peppers found at 1:03, 2:52, 4:02

    all they want you and we go to bed rest the morning. Julius Peppers will not be an -- Patriots -- And it will happen for all the reasons that you mentioned. Partly because of the pending contract situations of those other Patriot players partly because. New England would have to invest enormous sum of money in Julius Peppers . Part because it would take like habitation because of that I know the word on the street is let him go this second round pick that. Think that they got from Matt Cassel the 34 overall selection in -- that would seem to make sense but. There a couple of technicalities to point out first and foremost. The Carolina Panthers. Right now are not allowed. To trade Julius Peppers because he hit -- this franchise tender. When Matt Cassell signed his franchise tender. That gave the Patriots the right. To trade
    enormous sum of money that you're going to have to invest in Julius Peppers for starters you're going to talk about a deal that. Basically changes the dynamics of the salary short short in the locker room. When you've got pending deals coming up with Richard Seymour and Vince Wilfork. You're talking about a deal that. I think Woodson Julius Peppers . Is a great player but when he talked people -- believe -- he flashes it is always come through when it matters
    How assure you that Julius Peppers is not going to play the Patriots next year. 99 point 9% short while while.

Sometimes this we'll fix your friends -- somebody else. Then go to -- sometimes the fix your hair and but I don't is keeping it yourself the I know that your prejudice but it's overwhelming you've done that please. Stay on your side of the announcers Booth with the.

Stop that was one of the highlights of this past season only here in anymore that daughter are still all before he went big time go national on TBS big star now let the little analyst Jeremy behind. Limos hotel suites and crystal champagne all around. I'm happy to report the deal as remembered his friends and joining us on the phone lines good morning -- merit that was the idea that that companies moments of the season without question. I'll laughing like a little girl again I'd better -- that happen on occasion. I don't know how do you what -- hearing about you once you lose you lose it. God -- god there's no coming back and look at -- talkback is actually worsen what goes over but I mean now on believe. Coming as no yeah yeah do you feel we know Remy just burns with resentment when he sees macabre oh Morgan -- national guys do what this team. What do you do that there -- stick eagles that you Joe buck doll.

No I don't actually he's he's very very good guys have and I know it's hard for -- having you know we do all the games all year long and -- really doesn't work done and we do stuff that we don't normally do as far as you know the pretty in the post game which is kind of a deferral ferocity. And we are part of the but it is partly because. They did against all year and a lot of them don't matter a lot of cases do a lot of the -- at the base of the biting games against those guys who want to get. Creighton in no more fun -- not part of that I would sort of there was a way to kind of accessibility -- tell you get there at least be your first two rounds of local gets to do which. Now never happened because the ATP finance.

It's it's like you have teacher broccoli your soccer -- and don't don't get beat the -- You that is exactly now did badly -- go. Can you explain from -- TV standpoint BO OY 836838839 don't know what. People took like see the end of these games before midnight.

Especially especially you guys have been that's unbelievable there's no way you get to weigh them down. It's it's brutally you know I think it's terrible because November and I know you guys do to in -- kid -- a lot of those games -- big games -- more manageable being just about your kids you know -- for the --

So I understand why no big and the -- would it kill him to starting game at 745.

You know I don't I don't get it look at it the united it's just it's all about ratings everything else in -- to the pregame Joe and his well know but it it's all about money -- for the most part.

and I hope we see is not like a nail biter because not -- the panel that BC had an hour all right beginning you know an hour of obesity. A -- you you'd you'd at the national stuff four TBS with the Colorado Rockies give us that commission thumbnail -- everybody seems to say the same thing they seem like -- net an American league lineup.

They do indeed it I think that there you don't quite frankly when they came in the Fenway Park initially I mean who I had never heard of America -- holidays and a couple of their players knew virtually nothing about the Torrealba -- Tulowitzki then one that's -- the -- everything you know had to get up on them pretty quickly and and what I found was a pretty solid group amendments you know one through -- not offensively they are as solid as it gets you know I was surprised to find that out just by their numbers alone but I think two other surprises -- did defensively and they -- the highest percentage ever and and I think it -- we -- do the -- the Red Sox you know Gonzales -- look rather -- all those guys being like nothing else before they beat that. Which is pretty credible their pitching is better than I thought everything was better than what I thought. Any time but I know the numbers were thrown a lot you would want to 122 a lot of things got to go right it is going to be a lot of luck and they had that. But there believing in themselves I think the fact that they won game ones throughout on the road is also huge and I think that plays that tonight pretty big too because that's police start you know they believed don't want him but as soon they're able to have two kind of get double validation won that first game that they're still at it and they know they can do it again and on a roll that the only thing it does worry me is the eight days off about that I think will be different that's more than two all star break which is pretty huge this time in -- is -- big believer in 2000 and they're better than -- a lot of people think.

That's more than football -- to have it is just we want to add to what's that any baseball standard. It's awkward would you would there -- just did the Philly series right Diaw.

But I didn't one game playoff against the Padres to get him to that series and yes just this --

You were up close personable personal with this team that's just you know everybody's favorite. Did you feel the magic was -- tangible did you did you get did you feel the pulse of of this incredible run there on.

There's no question I think to this city used entirely wrapped up in -- you know I'm not sure they were there throughout the year but there are very much spirit towards the stretch run in and in the playoffs they were as loud as it is stated in my better than excludes you know federal any Yankee stadium and they they were they -- pretty good and you know they -- very young group of guys that sort of doesn't know any better I'd recommend they just keep moving up the ranks here ripped through the playoffs and are on this incredible momentum -- kind of start with Clint hurdle to. What about coping is that doing gives the post season gives you -- the 50 they're bloc with each manager can ask them what you want. And sit there -- a big chance to the back of Portland and you get the feel this guy has topic for this group if the guy who result longtime instructor at a minor league likes work with young players. And not just finally worked here and it's it's -- in the these guys really drive off of an accent and I think he's the perfect guy for that spot I you know I can't help but think that they're going to give the Red Sox all they can handle that that I still think the Red Sox pitching is better and I think in -- the -- such be able to win another championship.

We're talking with -- dollar solo and Diaw on an arm ask you for guests here but -- of this. Colorado rocky roster who do you see having the potential have in the stolen having the ability to ascend. To a role of stardom in the next four to seven games and who might you suspect might go the other way that that might sort of get them. Deer in the headlights and sort of watched between now and the end of the baseball season.

How intimidating is it to go in to course field these days we know about the human door obviously we know about this little run there on the does that team. Would you be surprised to Boston when and they won two out of three or even three out of three.

Now well I don't think that's one thing that -- the Red Sox and and negate your in the -- the of the facility here and I don't think they're going to hear anybody anytime or any kind of atmosphere in there is no more hostile atmosphere of the Yankee stadium works if some of the other places. Is that midnight and I I don't think that's going to be probably brought a the areas you there which has been an issue in the in the past but I I don't believe an obvious I knew nothing about -- before I got there they locked -- down through where they keep the ball in the Theriot basically what was happening in the past what they're finding that the balls were were we're shrinkage. Potentially they're becoming smaller harder and -- they're trying to prevent. Good -- the amount that the -- they've done much much better than it has made a difference and you look at the numbers and -- down -- an -- they were before about element is definitely -- the Brazilian that philosophies from Britain and you know ground ball pitchers to every and then there's quite frankly they had a tough time signing -- curiosity -- because that nobody -- they don't particular body had to be -- the big money.

Oh you're Mike Hampton and -- that his get ridiculously overpaid.

and then then beat terrible their when he gets there but I I think that is a factor but I them and I think that's not a controlled out different I'll figure -- mister -- too much.

Hey -- speaking of pitching does Wakefield out and perhaps more importantly John Leicester in for game four were you a little bit

it is a concern I think what we've seen from. Lester of last two years has been very similar I don't think -- anything he's done has been not much to which you a couple of instances where he's been. Pretty good and have been able to be economical -- his pitches early in. Strike one and I -- it's kind of cliche is important but that the most important for Jon Lester that you could find himself. It's three -- with runners on -- walk people has problems I mean you know it was against -- team like this that you're not going to want to be able to do that he's got to minimize that -- policy given a couple of occasions -- get a little bit deeper into the game and throw more strikes rather than noble but again the guys the guys kind of developing at the top level he's capable of doing that but it is it is going to be some of the look at --

Any chance in your mind that they skip them and go Beckett in game 4147 with the --

The only way I could see that happening is that there was some sort of weather issue which is entirely possible when you're talking about going there have been changes very quickly the weather out there are sort something happened there that they would shift that I could -- that happened otherwise I think what we want to compare Francona is despite. What the situation is down in this series whatever I'm not sure he's going to change his mind on the.

Don't you understand why Gagne is in and Tavares is out on the roster

I do not know really I don't know what role at this point they would use guided towards the guards he's I was kind of surprised by that.

It will it will third -- catch every game.

I would take you wouldn't unless something happens otherwise they can hit their belly now because obviously because of the -- situation really probably will not -- any -- that would take I was -- adjust to what they would do there especially with Wakefield up the roster order that Kevin Cash to back -- hit a lot that's for -- from a defensive standpoint -- can actually pretty -- this year -- can certainly throw guys -- come off the -- but it'll -- actually deceit how much -- title -- really --

Where it will there -- go what do traditional one game off each guy in Denver years you give -- you course in in Ortiz each sit once.

Yeah I think that'll be the case you know I think a couple things that is -- what -- rocket is pitching situation which did not have finalized yesterday in my understanding -- the roster which was but they can have a surprise from me just because it has its Protestant he was their opening day starter is a good pitcher he had -- part of this run what -- that lineup pitching wise and it and you know the -- be -- he's going to -- to -- for David Ortiz okay the plate first base and they -- that and I don't know that it's a -- rotation -- the Red Sox lineup completely but -- Iraqis don't have to worry about it and they're going to get an extra -- here which should be billboard -- that it -- the -- their center -- go to -- but yeah I think they'll be rotation -- that we've done -- in the -- but -- there was David -- is that -- night.

dollar syllable or let you go just for your legion of fans out there who wonder what to roles going to be between now as to would like plummets from December Murton and Adam for all. Ribbon cuttings what do you -- going to be doing --

will be traveling with the team we're doing in our pre and post game chosen not to do -- step on the field in both those shows and and the Denver again third time last couple weeks -- that -- good for a pretty --

You are you to share a room with Royce Clayton because I don't think he's -- zone and -- it.

and I hopefully have my own remote haven't seen the group assigned to registered possible.

Our dollars a look at talk that you appreciate the time. I guess I appreciate -- take your daughter a solo with them now
