We got another recruiting high school recruiting story now would you man it's it's gone overboard I can imagine that this does the kids it. Any good do you mean I don't care. These kids these -- like old enough to have a -- steam -- and doodles McKie in the old enough to be legal and sports and it's just it's just that they're not ready for this in at least being Collins for you. It -- by -- down before you but anyway you're a Kevin Hart can and it was a blow below. Recruiting controversy in Lee was saying that these teams were. Begging him to come play for them now on Oregon Oregon among others well we found out on -- on signing day you know as we. Breathlessly awaiting the final wicket it was gone. He made it all up. He may go up he was never in a system -- or -- or an assistant a D. They apparently Oregon opted -- though or heard that -- on hard when he announced that he and they school assembly there was committing to cal Berkeley. It would send a letter -- problem is they never recruited me he just. Created this fantasy in his mind because as he likes to say quote I wanted to play D one ball more than anything. When I realized that wasn't going to happen I made up what I wanted to be reality I'm sorry for disappointing and embarrassing. My family coaches school and the involved university. I don't think he's in big trouble but. The pictures for the whole school assembly -- had on cal Berkeley announced he was going there of how you think.

Neither one knew the bottom I guess ever heard -- thinks his small town. You know that he at least that you can walk on and in -- and eventually make the team you know -- wasn't on a full -- His father mother and his father was crying at the close friend is his father and then of so they were -- right in and it was parents -- said coach under the house and say hello.

The big. -- black guys that very nice very nice seat America all right yeah I think the big thing and then you get that low some British can and and get drunk chick -- about summing up. Pretty much -- functional trio. Did you guys talk it means we will open the wondered Italy it and -- Yeah I mean it's not as early did you drive that end I notice got not golf involved with the Oakland nine minutes is gone now and I -- whatever. So today we're gonna try -- more volatile and move on -- on the outlook. -- rate went down so what what.
Two days if you hit more nit picking its humble and we just got faxes and emails. At once and what about the handsome face -- moment it was one. Play were brilliant lacked in the had to -- as the Mitchell -- for some big guys in the giants uniform. Back are going now on the -- possibly game. Quite cars that I was I got a whole explanation about losing the coin toss it in the entertainment money get called the rest of the rhythm after that point tosses. You can hear every play dissect it from here to root for Dartmouth you know goals again. And we met remove enough that one over not play via okay what you want to help of one as you're the only guy and all the ones that it was a good move.
Well I'm Tanya you know I'm Margaret is -- did you also thought the end almost although -- not -- defense it's an arguable that move on -- now it is an Argo errors equipment there's no defense so he makes it. Right got you got straight as a boy he makes a forty yard yeah easy yeah. Based on what. Based on the numbers in a -- it's about 60% for the thirteen -- 18% about it right if you're a forty yard field goal Michael just off the -- overnight basically you have endured this year. That's a profit after I had match point Albanian doing it is your vote on the -- I'll -- he didn't have 2530 times before the game yeah and San Diego last year last year all of this. Yeah he's a year old he's tired list I call itself that I. Problem is he didn't warm -- didn't kick the ball out of bounds -- They would have -- I'll just gonna say he goes you -- and it it was an emotional decision about -- Let's -- it was a blunder why do you think he kicked out of bounds discipline and physical mistake or do you think there were any kind of nerves involved probably companies -- at all. That's not good answer that. Progress and I am proud of you out why we get every goal is Archie duke it only. Criticized notes on anything now we do know well it imbalance that's the only thing I don't know -- yeah. I don't try to get a spot on the big show -- ability to -- that's that's completely you're gonna get it -- and -- on -- and want to be around dale Padilla and Arnold the meat puppets. See -- out matches that these days that's completely unfair when the when criticism is warranted she's I want no I I I have won just last night. Not the have to prove anything yeah that would just last night on a very great show sports tonight 630 intent on Comcast. We're talking about the most disappointing patriots of the year.
Well I thought the most disappointing performer of the year. Was Bill Belichick because only because there are two things that stand out about the 2007 season. To pick two -- won a historic offence and two with the story that trailed them the entire season and that was by game. He put him in that position to lose a first round draft pick a player that turn out to be someone like Ben Watson or Logan Mankins you can't make that mistake.
That you you guys just I don't watch it did you -- I don't know I don't know don't hurry -- but the larger point I believe just because. I think it's a good idea. To cope ward on fourth down from your own 31 guy I'm okay walked off they feel -- second half not going to do what Bill Belichick. It has to do with at the time I said I don't know what you guys did not probably thought it was a good idea at the time. When -- lose my three point is very eat it very easy to come back and say oh my god they gave up replies it at that time. I had the guts today it was a little everyone out there had.
Right emotion louder is right doesn't it don't take that from him I know aren't exactly that round anyone out and you'll be up to him if it in the first drive of the game. If they'd just convert a third or the first drive of the second -- finish a sentence if it would or sports radio and went finished sentences you know this is you go home -- don't get don't make crap into the first drive of the game and you're unveiling the game plan for the most. Boat -- offensive weapons that the NFL -- ever seen and you just converted a third and thirteen we have fault. And you're saying -- yourself score 3545 here let's go for this that's one thing. I struggled to a 73 lead at half that good then went three and out today is no shots outside. Else this second half like force my colleagues and it. I reflect anyway affected Blake hit a personal Howard Bryant until last decent at seventeen pages long it's Howard Bryant and -- the third quarter points are at a premium that's going to change your approach period.
Okay John Davis but I gotta -- I'm having an OJ moment this. And that part in the first drive of the second half you consider yourself okay it's gonna get Gordon's -- that to have it in the first. They're going to be some adjustment right the got to -- this thing out in the first drive of the second half you had given up. On the patriots offense for the day.
I I just the points are going to be hard to come out what you did to -- or -- three of the war -- one that -- the thirteen easily in game we haven't trouble. With the intermediate and deep routes you're not moving the ball. That where the play call and I know that's definitely not a Bill Belichick Ted what they badly as well -- something. Just shy of the goal line as an example an -- and jump ball intercepted it's like a coach by the outside the five.
I have a prediction of the guys talk Brady yet after the season. When you talk to Brady. You'll change your mind I guarantee I guarantee you will not challenge Brady I -- my challenge to you is to challenge Brady on the fourth and thirteen call. That's my job.
I no -- did you know our coach surely is given the good guys always -- the coach and don't get the opportunity to answer yeah. Baghdad and how it. About it thinking what I -- How do you know you gonna get it to the question if you don't have to at least ask the question -- defense is an interviewer that's this -- it's on him but it does your -- and what will coach bill he. If he was going to be honesty tickets say I lost faith in my kicker who I had no -- like. He can't say that I wouldn't -- but it was it LT was gonna tell us who do you think that would be just one of toothpicks. Either he lost -- kicker that's pretty ominous or the second thing it's it's very simple. They'd they'd determined before the game that from forty to 45. Mr. discount he was good anything beyond 45 where the crash your career from forty of 495 for nine. Fifty plus one for one that's some of those coming it's -- and admiral. As and is they're nervous rookie not a second you had yet what did you this year for 48 yards -- and against Pittsburgh of course there was outside and it paid disabled list.
I've done that before John I've done that before I don't like the suggestion but if you don't be like -- and you. You can't criticize Tom Brady you can't criticize Doc Rivers -- criticized. Brad Faxon or anybody who appears your show I would disrespect you -- So give me there were electric as I've been able to shoot the ball on my all and make my decision. If you criticize me for thinking. It for thinking that 1413 was a bad starts out -- but I haven't hit it probably why it's only on Manny and I sort.
About one last question for bill comes in waves us. You'd think that might Kerry and others told Bill Belichick we got one more play I'm sure it's not over yet and he said screw you I'm leaving many want to repeat history you but yet he decided that he was going to be off the field would say he can't say he didn't know of the game animal -- An -- and that's and but the some some of the Bronx blogs. You know on the station in other places say though. You know the clock -- he knew he was told reminded -- I think at least three or four people told them before going to quit the game that watch it over at one point when he's running across the field it probably -- but by the time -- got on the -- I'm glad I away you know at that point sure. But when it kind of glued to walk if you like game immediately go 12 left in the game so what if they all followed on the team -- Someone did all the other like they involve -- kind of collapse just aren't here to stick around. All the players were some of them will at least eleven stuck around -- stayed on the silent Brady's stayed around in enough class to stay around he didn't.
Towards the lack of class to leave the field with 12 left in the game is over okay well -- and that's it but I just because I've written a book about Bill Belichick everything up with great. -- college look at my back is okay okay.
Outright he's get rated them dale he's. What's the on the big ones than the one of the meat puppets yeah dale -- for as long -- it lasts next on Sports Radio 850 WEEI we'll talk tomorrow morning at six
