And just as the Patriots Monday is always provided blisters were the most comprehensive insightful post game analysis. When I can give you that same winning formula on Friday so here is your lineup the top like interviews information.

On that day with dale -- Wes Welker Ben Watson and Logan Mankins and finally in the afternoon Mike Vrabel and Matt Light. I would say to the Patriots more engaging play with says -- will join us right here on the big show crew in the afternoons -- guys that. You know like the -- like the input analysts in the -- it was a good a good choice and of course all the other stuff. On Patriots money will remain the same Tom Brady and Bill Belichick on Mondays and -- it money if -- it will be broadcasting live. Down at the -- home down there in Foxborough joining us before my right now. Is Jonathan -- does this mean does this mean that you're going to show up like every what's at all on Friday of like races with maybe an appearance served.

Nets -- with lightening road over Uruguay about my chart or whatever word imagine why would you guys on the tour -- Matt Matt Clement did. As Columbia has dumped quite decision but I -- you -- to come by.

I'm sure better. Sure Matt Light or get a word in edgewise -- delay it worked out well this is terrific you know during the football season will be done to both on the on Monday and Friday. And with wanted combining them with about -- reasons which -- with the studios.

Welcome by lifestyle we're going to have -- the dot videos and studio city and Adam Hall got a lot of stuff on rob Bowden is so it was okay. I'm looking at the moment to do well Adam and and and hopefully hopefully Matt might heritage and.

Why -- Oakland associate with -- obvious that I would be totally out of the question you're there for the people understand you don't capped. Where it just silent partners no certainly not yet it's nothing silent about glad I.

Jonathan we're already ordering a golf cart to go from the obvious to our studio on Monday in Friday's -- just didn't get the food back if what is this Patriot place open up a few weeks right.

Yeah -- different pieces of it'll all over the course of the next you know obviously there's is -- the best pro at the christmas street shop that. Bet best Circuit City staples that's all open now in the back of the property and the real you need. Part of did you places there's sort of open air pedestrian -- entertainment at least retail lifestyle center and the first pieces of adopt the OC BS being in the hall at Patriot place. Some of the retailers like goal made it Victoria's secrets that are going to open. Over the next 56 weeks and then between. -- beat the middle of August and into November. Stores and restaurants and entertainment pieces are what I percent of the -- showcase -- to will open an artist so. You're going to have a bigger or more attentive as theater in New England that will be opening in August as well.

I'm Justin and I'll just a little bit concerned about unleashing Patriot fans on the Sunday -- Victoria's Secret that this.

Probably what we're going to do concerns every leg of the Torre is sort of the yeah I can't speak about it but you gotta love it the the Colts picked a bad it is been literally every week newspapers will be opening all the way right up to thanksgiving. And then in the spring of next year the last temple of things including the married renaissance hotel will open and so about ten -- typical open but it they -- Olympic will be opening in the execs.

I your opening up their when their what does that hole from the hole.

The hall that opened up in the middle largest they have.

Let me ask a question about that -- I saw this week -- other Hall of Fame nominee and it was so obviously great selection. Com I -- I have difficulty going forward here. With putting people into that Hall of Fame into the Patriots all fine in that they're going to be so many guys to choose from from present day from 93 on. That some of those old veterans before 93 when a lot of people. Either we're not watching the team. Or you know or no longer with us and can't -- or call us memories -- have trouble with maybe skipping some of those guys is there any system in place. To find a way to put some of those guys the older players Jim that's for example -- to battle for.

It is also great problem to have. So that that I would.

You can still searching for 93 for any all the thing.

Right also point -- to great problem to have I think that sort of the beauty of the news is good. It is that would -- selection pieces come -- Incumbent Patriots dot com clearly to people were will remember the more recent players but will be a lot of data. On the guys from the past top notes Thomas on the committee the media members didn't vote -- well it helps select the final three that the public votes on. So really people like Tom and the guys in the media maybe. And -- longer window back they're responsible for helping to pick the finalists have been the public gets to choose from but.

Knows it's like a correct yes -- now up on us now aren't as the one automatically accept until I'm told -- currently on I apologize time.

Not a problem known Tom currents I don't I don't dot com currents at home right now why am I don't practice it that's what he wants to a -- I ask you about this whole reputation stuff going into it's of this offseason whenever. It it's it's still crops up on watching TV here today over my shoulder and once again they're bringing up the reputation. Of the new England and the New England Patriots based on all of that stuff. Over the past season is this a problem for you guys in that. Even -- Are you pretty much clear it is no tape out there of any you know walked through. The day before the Super Bowl but you're still faced with that perception by people out there. That the Patriots cheated at all of these -- things.

Is that the media love. To create perception that I just may be in some parts of the public mind become reality I think from our perspective. All we can do -- go on and go about our business try to do the best that we cap and we're we're very comfortable last year at the first quarter the first game. We were violating rule and we -- the harshest penalties at least history. But that violation and then for the next fifty and three quarter gave. Games that I just the three playoff games eighteen plus games we run remorse group. I think in any professional team has ever been under and all we did during that time what does go on an unprecedented winning streak we did something good note in the history has ever done in the National Football League. And we didn't close the deal and and that. Well leaves a big void here but what I say is. The fact that we were able to do that under the type pressure that I think most most professional teams in any sport. Would've probably crumpled to speak to the to the strength of the character of the players coaching staff. We're just gonna go back on the field this year go out try to do the sent in a gap and I assume the people and communities. That have to basis occasionally here aren't happy if we're fortunate enough to beat this team likes to find excuses for why we beat their teams. The world we're very comfortable in our own -- here and we paid a price would open up our books. In the figurative sense and he had a spell his home this organization an amazing detail. And we we were found guilty of of doing nothing else other than taking the Jets in the first game which bill and the team admitted to so. It's a shame what ended up happening at -- at the end of the season people it it has gone away because of the accomplishment at the end of -- regular season. And then when the newspaper out chose to write stories and something that we advised them it makes sense to run because it wasn't. Wasn't truthful they -- It created in other read or months craziness that probably precipitated what he's talking about they -- big enough to run mets' front page. Apologies slash traction but by then. You don't Boston Beckett picked up -- were vindicated the only way we're going to probably completely vindicate ourselves in the rest of the country. Mystical out and and it would on the field again this year and and prove to people that this is exceptional.

Have you had any conversation with a writer John -- is he talked to two. Any body and ownership I know we start the Bill Belichick but as he talked to anybody in ownership.

Hasn't talked committed and I don't believe destruct anybody in my family but I all state that is -- You have I have not talked to.

Did the the -- that I did the league went out and hired somebody who's going to be. Now part of security in charge of dealing with this whole video taping system is that true.

I'm not just that I think one of the good things for the league it's combat of this because the competition in the habit though so fierce and so on -- And and it it it really use an incredibly complicated. Production week in -- what people don't realize is when you're in the middle of the game. And you're starting to rely on technology. Things go out and technology does go to out of things break I think people all of a sudden the zone. The worst just because you -- caught up in the moment and and so what the week. What the league has gone out to do they want to make sure from the public's perspective we that the Patriots and I think the people the teams in the league at the end of the day. Don't believe there are real issues but what we want to do -- a week so that the public can be comfortable. And that it started teams that have questions about it to be comfortable league is hired somebody. To literally be in charge of all the technology coached quarterback had owns the 42 clock. Mechanics there's a number of other communication technologies that are working -- games to facilitate. What goes on between the coaches and the people on the sidelines. Both bit the signals a secure -- and that they're stay out and that if there is a problem with that it's it's true we technological and -- goal in the final -- cause of that problem whether it happens and try to prevent it from happening is that sort of the system can be perfected overtime. And that's the rationale -- and -- league has made that hire right don't think. That's directly related to the Patriots and videotape it at -- it was something that was probably RD. In the works -- thought about for awhile.

And how this works once something like that happens. People are going to be looking out for any little evidence of anything not just what you would probably any team in the league next year. If anything it probably at times became a bigger issue than the NFL ever wanted it to become from the day --

It went -- business news. -- I think -- that you want detention on the court product which is a competition on Sunday and I I do think they've. By three or four weeks of the season. If it pretty much got back to that. And we were also clouded by what happens from. Debate before the Super Bowl in you know April may timeframe here with -- with the stories that random all the hoopla that was created effectively by it by its employees -- been fired from disorganization. You know six years ago or whatever for being incompetent and you know was an individual who had taken things. Illegally from the organization want it to be adept at side but the things he would stolen and that at the end of the day there were no new. Revelations so -- I don't think that that's something about it business. Wants the focus to be about I think the league wants the focus to be about the competition on the field the players. I think we're back to that.

Until the but it probably York yeah you know I thought they want but this was -- we will all excited that -- it's Friday initiative place that.

Excited just I wanted to check in with -- and talked you know while I want to check didn't see you know how you felt the bottle the stuff that you know it's.

There were excited that we're expected that -- campus era that the season is about to start I think it's. And the coaching staff and everybody in this building deals like there was. There's some unfinished business from last season and so everybody wants to get back to work to. And get onto the playing field and I think it's going to be -- great -- that there I think everyone's excited about. The draft and everyone's excited about pitchers -- place opening and I think. In oak Glen you've been battered topic shot I don't know if you have but it's it's really hard to describe this who's going to be that truly truly you'd. Detective destination an open air and to ten minute. Retail best summation of like everything else with just. The very unique mix of places to comment chap died. Spent time with your family being entertained it's going to be great city will be that when there's.

We are looking forward to it -- as I said let's make sure that obvious is ready by the time we you know we get done.

Talk to speak about bad as far as words aren't just get open tomorrow working out just a great talking -- you will see you soon. Pitchers Steelers.

It'll be Wes Welker Ben Watson Logan Mankins 12 or three of the above and then with -- assess every Friday. It will be Mike Vrabel Matt Light and we're expecting others to join us as well
