Welcome to the latest edition of the best of -- Mikey I'm -- host. Jason mafia alongside Joe's our -- might as well no this is -- official I joined some very good Jason how are you the week started off strong we had Monday Night Football Mike Dee at a fraud show is always but this week it had the patriots against the Baltimore ravens. Joey an exciting game breakdown of the -- yes Jabar Gaffney right yeah and -- keeps his feet inbounds game winning touchdown catch. Pete shepherd is going crazy in the studio yhency -- Burroughs came in you moved big hug. You know his -- yelling a big Billy Bob and his crazy Eric yeah I studios a Monday night you know my -- obviously went home watch the game on his big screen TV bought the team intent on Tuesday of course and had a lot to say about the PG game here's -- talking about that teen choice 724 victory to keep the sigma.
It was exciting right out of the very last play you even before the final drive there was so much that happened those those huge stops both by Rodney Harrison on third downs huge in the fourth quarter it also would -- stripped Ed reed this year that was that was huge as well. Meanwhile McGahee is just run in knots they can't stop. And that has also got to be. Cause for concern for patriots fans because. And an out of nowhere whether it's the injury did you know call Colvin who -- is is causing now. Via the opposition over run like that was just he could get a 104 -- yards reporting 38. For half yards carry and they seem to be -- he -- third quarter -- if you will so others some. Things that you really have to be concerned about yes the team is undefeated yes to 12 -- and they have been winning by just a very slim margin of late. But they're still winning in and it's it's still more maybe more fun to watch now in kind of sick way but last night was very very grueling. And I don't know my my guts were all torn up you know -- not literally and figuratively from watching. From watching a football game 27 point 40 -- you go to the future like the much to say after the game the post game press conference is very short it is maybe a minute. Agreement now yeah -- has won -- Rodney Rodney said that's that's I was most curious exactly what he said to cause and to react.
Well they they have enough you know my key of course have a little fun with Brian billick and the Baltimore ravens you do lose 2724 of the patriots in front of the president Brian billick and Florida's press conference ago. The patriots up who that we thought they were party guys you like that don't have that history well classic and he's doing football on our our own station of course on Thursday -- you him. Not he's tolerant -- stick with that positive personality. Is record date. Anyways back to the PG game on on Monday night exciting game Mike he brought up Willis McGahee. I -- a decent game he had actually better than a decent game 30 cents -- 130 yards and touchdown he broke you know 18 yards longest joke we're talking about you know he's a good running back but what about these these quarterbacks have been able to put at some points against the teachers the fence past couple weeks yet AJ -- concern -- concern -- for 210 yards and a couple touchdowns. In its kind of surprising for me. I mean obviously the -- it'll do their job in the offense event. A big tough team here at a Pittsburgh Steelers nine in three and you know that to a three in the road obviously going to come to play. Anthony Smith the young quarterback talking about it E guarantees a win. But Joe -- Yeah exactly they go but as Peter King did say on -- holly. He's at you know at this this kid will be around -- people know his name because he's a hard hitter and he likes to hit much like -- you know guy like Rodney Harrison who Mike you talked about and did get a fine by the way for for a little bit of rough talking and -- talk about the the rats this past week so a lot of people did the ratings is as well so. Joe lot -- half as the spread in New England. We'll like -- take the patriots that's now what about you by you know I haven't covered a couple of weeks not that you know we're covering team but of course on the planet like -- shall we always look at all lines in the visas as well but -- have seen a lot to me they are home. There's going to be be safe and maybe take. If it came got a ten by game day I would take it but otherwise tape it's okay. So touchdown exit pages to win by a touchdown. But we had on -- next best of segment good friend of Mike Billy the great lefty and a for the Red Sox. But you know we're talking about 1711 and 7317 and 15.
