    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.

You go that -- some nightmare a Super Bowl this seems like about ten minutes ago yeah all season begins tonight boys and girls. Too bad and starting at 330 this afternoon. Rich Eisen will host a three and a half hour NFL total access 2008 ticked off presented by EA sports. While on the NFL network alongside Warren -- Marshall bought the onset of Steve Mariucci and Adam shot after now from New York. Mourning retires and how -- We're don't buy it by the way out and just look at it this I find -- hard to believe you are just celebrating. Your fifth anniversary with the other -- and somebody would set me quick answer a lot of the -- and existence themselves like maybe -- three.

Are everywhere throughout the year we can't have to 2000 receipt. And so where where -- weeks away from our five year anniversary it's pretty amazing. You know that it has been five years and what's not not -- the what's gone on our air product put out. In order showed -- out a board acts. Start today eat the -- deep Barry -- finished off they would and it felt -- days after some psychic or as well. Just by far away the most entertaining. And former show I've done it my. Now twelve years on national sports television -- It's it's it's it's just been a great experience. But he or it is what the history a year went all officially returner.

Already for more you are with three and a half hour special tonight and announced his today guest with with.

Guess our topic today at Columbus Circle and there is a possibility that are sure it's Steve Mariucci could be on the Saints that's. Dealt with pat.

What what's what's what do which in what should we expect from Warren Sapp is he going to be. Kind of speak enough the cup will lead the.

Yeah. I hope. I think wild -- to good work or. You know he had -- use -- last night it was the first I thought that was ordered pat said he I think attributable. What great shots. That is excited. He's very excited to about the show up -- according to a Marshall Balkan. And Jack chapter at very except about the partners new -- also do at the it so I have spell at at. East at yesterday's call your cable operator -- going to be -- So I cakewalk Arctic -- You know while we already have our -- so -- You know -- So our air you know -- Not centers on. And it would be called -- credit the -- you know upper but he -- that where all -- operated. What do you think it's been great he's would be your first loses slightly which obviously not -- outs orchid. Which were not we are at you know you really think about it -- that was by by the league last football player. Years -- felt that worked at getting ready to speak is why it's so I'll works -- sport like sit the great state the year with. All. We got a great deep kick off site and that we want it just chock full of great story lots to get very start.

Well that that let me nicely to let my next question three and a half hours tonight the season kicking off to tonight. I guess you're going to spend more time on things other than Favre and New York and injuries to Brady and and Peyton Manning. What will some of those themes and story lines being your estimation beyond the three I just mentioned Mitch.

Well actually you're wrong accept that that's all -- Are not. I beat Margaret is Brady's -- his -- going to be credited that is execute pretty much of -- three ops lots. Which part he got on the packers' next Q how they're going to do. Move forward hours -- Arctic air -- the most pressure. -- You know Tony roll hall doesn't get into the playoffs wore. Sales in the playoffs the general manager -- lose his job. Manager also -- Aaron Rodgers failed this year failed miserably that I think anybody would their fingerprints on the what's opera are born here as. Serious catchers started to deliver. So the state at bat as well. Other story -- It switched it is going to throw -- and as Patriots Colts rank the obviously. Chargers reached in my upper body back or that quiet this year. A lot of people or our part definitely talking about the Patriots because of the away the celebrity which pops up 2 and over well. That teachers who just loses all lost chat today I OC in. Operate it is really I think you guys were agreed. The first year which. HE director Agassi and depending on him. MVP IP year last year. And -- on the biggest Brady's bad there is this guy I've been following him since day one it is that is all career on the national stage. You're sort came out of nowhere at one I say that I'd -- Brady's always solid -- he's an excellent seasons he's always at -- which they gave the last year it was. Off the charts fantastic. And I think the -- each each -- similar to that. This year -- order to quiet some of the naysayers and perhaps be successful.

what I don't get is you know there are some doubters out there but the Patriots. If David Tyree doesn't make that catcher if they sacked Eli Manning on the play if they go if the Patriots in nineteen you know. That would bring me dollars so because the ball has bounced the right way for the giant -- that a settlement as it's stuck on his helmet. We're supposed to think the Patriots. Aren't going to recover. DC well yeah.

That that's that is definitely one way to look at it got a way to look at it is the -- keep -- right from jump street in that game and at the be sent to topple the old IB. And into a Tedy Bruschi said going into game is that the linebackers if they don't play well or that he's principally what their role they play great they're experienced. And it just you know that's just the way the Baltic outs at. And it -- I'm out of my in laws are all big Patriots and and there are still smarting from -- that was. It'll. -- to beat most of their Patriot golf sticker couple weeks ago -- in. You could see it ever but he still really. It's perfect drop -- and I think very eager to prove -- would.

He's yet to admit there are few balls out of the ball away but. --

I don't Martina well -- can you imagine the pressure be under if they'd gone nineteen you know and everyone's watching -- along that he does winning streak going. And I think they have more motivation and less pressure. Because they lost the Super Bowl then if they had won.

you know what. You're you may be right also the ninety you know would be something that you know. I'd. We don't check which uses a rally cry anyway it's still rests on your laurels. I think that nature but now they do they have lost that one game -- that there are a lot of people out there at worst day that the offensive line has some serious. Improving to do it we'll see if this deep French is still -- out as it has been recent years. And -- of course you know that preceded it opening batters of that far either but that again. Even without their MVP quarterback has to struggle in which he AK EM VP quarterback off Eddie Royal air. Who they art -- not look as sharp as it's as the used to seeing. And you know but the pitchers start off but all the Kansas City at -- the media experts as it is a layup. Act. And that they go to New York to face art for the first part of -- great rivalry. And I will definitely be glued to television for that.

We're talking whether it doesn't from the NFL network and just you'll know locally rich and adults -- Tokyo -- you're discussions of three and half hour show. There is that your theory being espoused here in New England the Bill Belichick has had sort of a seat change if you will in his attitude two toward the importance of these practice games and while they certainly lost the Super Bowl and that wasn't a good thing and they go on -- for the pre season. There is this sort of theory being trotted out there that bill realizes these guys as a team. Have played a tremendous amount of football. Much of it as the season wore on last year and to know became 4 became an -- became sixteen and -- The pressure built and he realizes I think some people say that he has to back off a little bit and not make every single game certainly pre season games life and death and let this team breathe a little bit. And that's what -- four pre season was all about and Tom Brady not participate.

Yeah well you know what makes cents and -- and that anybody's athletes from the Patriots -- let's let's be honest and and everybody talks about anybody losing Super Bowl gain respect that hang over. I need to see it to -- and hopefully -- it to -- over typical -- the division but it is going to make the Super Bowl. But like I -- you know -- I hear from many different opinions and one of them is is that the Giants expose them for being it's slower team. And a team that is older and you know that's why we have to play the games to use the -- Horry cliche it. But I don't think the Patriots or did you just think you know rob -- what -- Named the teacher is having people are. You know they also overseas and he goes. To trot off when you go sixteen to -- You know -- twelve -- keep it short -- it would keep in this is. -- considered -- hot spots all. And so -- twelve or thirteen in three let me they'll still be having all he'll bat in the playoffs totaled out to. Go on merit not often I've really walked out Tuesday that to believe I think there's still put class in the SE a it all out they do it should be should be. But top perceived in just by the fact that they -- whatever and like the last.

You mentioned Woodson. What are you hearing after we get past the trendy picks everybody's saying. This is the team that is favored what you get past the -- the new England's I guess San Diego in Jacksonville. Who is saying this is the team we need to keep an eye on because of all lives up right for team acts they could be in the Super --

I think the Vikings circumstances. D backs in that scenario. Because of Geri -- back position. Placing him around those two William's brother run stoppers like -- the battle. That -- supply. That every team has an issue of their secondary but. Few teams have issues in their secondary when they're when they endorsed the quarterback it. Cute guys to put their straighter in the dirt like Jarrett out -- the -- the quarterback still you prohibit that makes with Adrian Peterson. Offensive line that will however be missing their left tackle for the first four games are too expensive for first -- of the season. But via the walk part of that scenario is the quarterback it's to our Jackson Al green is he out EP. -- Agassi Kucera -- of the National Football League how quickly can. He'd be coached up in order to world reached the promised laugh and we will see I mean he comes in the postseason banged out without the injury that he suffered defeated yet about how this should have received. We too. The priest tees up but the Vikings that -- without question spot people -- talking Lions you don't park old. Everybody does that every year Agassi will be right some pop pop up that -- this -- the year in which people do mention those deep to right and and then air -- the Browns obviously they're going to be on national TV spot talks. This week's game is considered. Nationally televised but most of the country will see that against Koppel is so that -- but the Browns are -- Koppel copies Agassi because. Believe -- scheduled -- national title.

Richard talked about Rogers being the quarterback under the most pressure in the National Football League and and -- be hard pressed to make an argument against that from a coaching standpoint -- coach in your estimation is under the most pressure and the most like -- to be fired if they get off to a horrible start.

All of a horrible start firing mean is very rare that -- coach art midseason but I think. Lotta people are looking at Marvin Lewis -- that sort of problems. You know hole. It is the autopsy could make not any worse pickles if you think about it with Chad Johnson. Complain much time. And so absence. Right I'd vote should it changes Lastings wrote and outs. That's. Chad Rose and outs with a I think a little bit more -- less -- perhaps a little more inspired and -- went. And it and it kept up a -- are fortunate to -- the way that he's he is. One of the elite running what receivers in the game. And then repeated motions -- didn't play any of the receipt in Carson Palmer a -- appreciate it looked like -- ought to. He got out it's so hard in the F pre season. A lot of people could start about a -- rightfully so. Pursue every touch we side need to we kept the coach says that the kickoff watch that that's the chances of the bike path. So. You know I think it all goes south quickly could be something that gets ugly in a hurry but the culture to put the -- pressure period isn't everything builds as Wade Phillips he's got thirteen pro bowlers on that hasn't won a playoff game. Since the since the Clinton administration. And everybody expects them to win the NFC. And it stayed don't what about the playoff game or separate Tibet somehow some way did -- make the playoffs. You know there's an operative coordinator about team being paid at coach's salary -- standing right next to have. -- chasing -- but I think. You know ought to point it -- a school Church as to what. And so I think he's got the most pressure as head coach.

You know I gotta idea that you go as a right foot Knicks news and people watching NFL network and your first that you kick up the new season. Get all the the videotape of of Tatum Bell stealing. That. If you could if you could do that would. -- appointment TV would that be yeah yeah.

I think dirty fantastic I think is Munich it is entertainment you know patch of chopped and changed as plastic I think his plastic should be Tatum Bell -- that. I think he should go ahead changes last -- right Derek. And you know -- provide to -- dental care at any time we checked into supplies I think he's not -- go out -- right now if you course can't a couple of them of the classic -- said that in yesterday's meeting and I cannot make it up Tatum Bell our suitcase references for a three -- showed today.

You can -- Lions have the videotape -- the -- decent -- and -- in the bags and listening.

Temple a lot. And I was battling a journey to the center of the NFL universe.

Thank you for watching it's it's great -- would be paperback version of it is coming out September 28 so. I'm really excited about that it couple you have connections in the book which is about basically my job. Being around NFL every single day and meeting all these great players and coaches and what it's like to go to every single event with the with the league being what opened the doors to -- sexist -- and I didn't -- on to the viewer and except it's come out paperbacks to number 28 just not for everybody get their sticks out for the season so that it still prepared.

Where I find the dvd box set of the beg borrow and the -- hours -- available. A public. Did you. Who -- the has to get checked in the Cameron's. Bill Belichick you're watching and.

No I think that that person does that it commissioner Goodell I think order -- argue that these are like -- But I don't know much about eight delegate responsibility.

That's it is and -- rich guys and he's the host of an adult total access and NFL game day final on the NFL network of course and that today at 3:30 eastern time is that right at 330.

That you've got to that after the game with. Post game from Giants Stadium. As we are one game intimacy that they fired up.

They kick off excuse the expression of the three and a half hour and a though. Total access 2008. Special ones that weren't that martial law Deion Sanders Steve Mariucci and Adam shipped all from New York resides in by the time -- on the -- I don't know would you watch this year. Rich -- with them now.
