Of Fallujah -- Leo role -- one role mathematically it was that would divisions showed the making you look real smart sort of excellent what does that mean sort that you guaranteed BC this is what you don't that would be good god forbid there overtake him but -- That would be a cataclysmic market out there which and not think it's impossible. -- like that like eleven games so difficult not to talk typical I -- how well. Good. About that -- in the minors that's when that. Line when he -- have a -- I don't know marriages so what. And that no one will make these predictions just accept the Atlanta that you accept the fact that I'm going to be right you're only ago that you price will be a previous. -- read about the Yankees winning 85 to. It's only six years like. Com but you -- when they. Know it's either started collecting glass it would -- don't want you to Atlanta. Glad I picked the Red Sox three division right after I picked the glitz likes to win the division I did go don't change your name was so. It was five and -- I make up whatever you want to relax I said the what do you total Reid Collins that the -- and managed schedule Hillary easily road games young players right in the depth -- now. You know with the with the right players gone right there in trouble and I agree with you -- Glad glad I picked. Picked the Red Sox to win the division and and believe me when it's a with a raised the most undervalued team in baseball and I picked in the finish in Toronto annually. Although. Your -- like. You're right in late to panic through the open. At least a little worried. --
It they don't know what are. You. But I got two -- what -- questionable based on questionable are -- I believe I'm giving Cassell chipped it. Yeah pretty much have to do not. Everybody. Jake Plummer name yet but whatever haven't I have. Oh. -- I mean it never done it other names. But don't you know not. -- simple and so obvious -- satellite last -- said. Jeff George. It took Jeff cards Mara what should Jeff George. I is. What is morons role that -- your opinion is.
But a lot of Jake -- play. Her --
I. -- it.
He knows whether there is a trend in the National Football League with all of the quarterbacks. But he realized. That's what seems to be happening out there yet it was the other way around a few years that it was when I always deferred money -- Atlanta.
Yeah tape do you want a lot come October while to what you -- like any take part cherry.
the only play and play a whole lot that game and and it wasn't it people like -- fumble the ball go to advance about the that was that -- young things on 2% if you are -- and -- I don't know if that was case but he went down early. -- went down every time he touched the ball effect fumbled the ball but you know we know what hit him that the play the Brady got hurt. I think the I think want to play almost every play and conference walker play -- the 38 the I will say that was one play where. What was I get a fourteen yard line he let the punt go in the got a under the two that's the one where way where. He threw 51 yard past the -- couple plays later. You know must didn't have a banner I mean now Welker -- have a banner day you.
I didn't know it up multiple and a bench from back to -- look pretty -- take quite baseball question upon -- Just idiotic habits topic but reds' ops and -- what is it where it's yet another is legit but Red Sox present any. And the World Series then. Brought back to grow on me.
Yeah. Funny you should ask that because it is. Baseball writers people media in general love story lines. Would you agree the ultimate story line even better than the Red Sox Cubs World Series though Horry is no no life no Red Sox are better. Red Sox -- that's -- RBIs internationals the local storage Ottawa Canada in coming back to Fenway with the got a pretty it would be big. It wasn't talking about. With -- whole country Christ what are we Cuba -- why do you hear about with some. Dummy in Kansas City writes what you care about the items that would demean him humans says the only guy story across the country I had some guy in Ames I was very cool -- World Series. On me coming that he's human Manny Nomar and every Derek Lowe Joe Torre it's outside break all coming back to Fenway Park. I remember that one -- higher rate is always great girls and guys docket yes.
The last thing that I have been you look at what that worst thing about you chant for the Yankees element. I think the stupidest thing -- giant tennis stratus and -- Brady socket that the biggest.
Out my -- are you meant by that is endemic in week three his first year.
Got them out of it doesn't matter if you go to work all time out when I got.
I'm. In you know these columns here and everybody is taken debate with this Belichick versus breed aren't built won't let us read about it -- is -- now they'll people in the studio and I mean it is I will -- includes a story nationally. Date if it's it's good -- quite far it looks like it did this story alive because Nash -- the chance from the espionage he had to the other -- take cheap shots at -- that's -- that's it yeah. It is. Not a averaging that it -- debate today need -- politics. Exhibition. Room which not all about brewery. So that's -- Belichick's admission. And being early this these colleges and childish.
But this is where the IP -- you're taking the bigger retake -- item -- you -- like him very -- Michael Michael I just not well. But rivalry is because -- you know I don't remember maybe you guys. Some. Remembrances -- about -- don't this -- site right now because England. You know at least about the Eagles back in the radio. Well let me just not -- the I don't get it out why at this -- you read out just Olerud -- jumped well why don't go to the right over the right -- out. You know is at the game I don't know how good coach Belichick is would breed is in his -- This is worries growing up big time for those who don't remember it apparently doesn't. Belichick looked exactly like that guy was working his way out. Before. Being replaced an injured Drew Bledsoe in the second week that -- that that is patently false -- ethnic hit it a little luck but.
The direct those who don't remember. Please don't want to remember it ever.
Mr. remembered -- you know thrown crap against the law that does even exist not that that I have to make him. -- had his way out it's on the second year of his deal. We're not that the second game that you -- Bledsoe was -- horrible in the Cincinnati game in the jet game where it's horrible but but this is against if you -- that that that I have to agree that is bad as effort to right. On top and -- the right here. It's all okay we do what what would you agree that that's. A break you see Pete. Would you guys agree that. Well first like respect what is that an hour ago and it's and the national writers write about our teams there are always going to get a run do you guys agree with that. That is one reason I -- those national radio shows and I'll tell you why. It's great to hear all of the other subjects of stuff around the country. But when you hear them talk about something New York and and -- you know they -- Hitchcock and unless they should they do this all the time. And they are so wrong they're so off base there's so I mean sharp.
That's when they're talking about Nebraska game coming up on Saturday and held it until I bet my -- not.
If you're listening in bars and you assume the guys correct. -- Like a year -- Allen a Fall River now.
A guy Cato. -- Actuality a lot of phone calls like I. What one. But what also.
Now all of God's help. I don't know how he got flowers I've. In my -- yes and I learned buck was kind enough to -- indictments in the future. Everything else that. The settlement I don't think they also out of the office -- looked like a funeral home -- both days lined out.
always rang and it beat in the ring I should've brought that up but I would but cool I mean everybody talks about between. The co. Tocchet now. My my belief it is he's a great coach there's no lead down -- real I believe his quick coach really nobody knows. Well they're treated like he's such a great coach I I definitely believe that a great cause it is my belief now is in a great coach. That he would actually have a number two quarterback and he knows -- right. So I -- believe that whatever make the play without ever happens after that. No but I I think that I don't think that's that's that's the have a backup quarterback but he knows who's.
That's my take on -- I just leave -- We leave the cupboard. What is positions that is all the -- the -- That oh. But that he could lead the that wide open. And put myself and yet I think if you don't hit you don't Mac title the ressam is not -- when you look at Izturis. At east school. When you look at. And that jump out. Right and it does look like what the hell -- bill that you don't but is. For four years this season and evaluate her as you out of the National Football League. He's here for reasons. It did we not all laugh with the St. Louis Rams. I got out of the arena football league who was. I think groceries. You know we're in which green went down in 1999. And one of the Clinton backed up keeping managing he's -- A lot of that anyway they oh the Bucs -- them.
Bulls and I'm not going hockey that's an important out loud. Oh clock and I. -- a lot of that would never measure up in the national.
Brady and took radio Bledsoe and I are remembered as radio station -- while I was up Bruce and column 50% of people out that -- well. 50% of people. Was saying let's so let's don't like what is it like those of the city and these are well it was on that -- like hanging up that flag in the right I want.
August anyway I was 5050 I'm. Glad -- Caught it at. Portland to take it simple it was before that's. Well wait a second I mean you know lot higher Borges is going to -- any week now did you blame listeners wanted to combat the Bledsoe when he was -- in the early going. Our -- that is the only bad game he had was that Miami's the rest of room for but you know what I I I like this revisiting of Bledsoe now Bledsoe as a -- that's always.
I have a salad on my said that the coach. And I thank -- so -- so makes me think that the -- room in the hole that -- One what he's not. And I think we're all. I think at that that that would checked out or -- it happen. While. I think I think a lot of people within that.
Belichick democratic I -- this. This I don't know is -- great back up quarterback that you'd trust that could take over the team and make it 80% radio -- and again be a flop but Billy it's going to depend --
On what people's expectations are if they think that they're going to go out here NC. Any semblance of what they see every Sunday with Tom Brady in the number we start 2007. And they're crazy and so I would. I think the chances of that are are slim enough now could -- be serviceable but could he be better than serviceable where he's going out there were some stuff. Yup that's a possibility because he's playing some great weapons he's got an offense that one it's got three Pro Bowl players he's got. Three wide receivers at a pretty damn good he's got a running back that may not having a great single product but got depth -- or five guys in that position. Pretty good offense and he's got a deep sense. That's going to get his office back area and the rest question though they did whatever what are we expect him to be anywhere close to -- Brady if that's what people are expecting their great line.
But the first you Brady was here he didn't do a lot he can't it was a I go to support of its system is what you'll say but for the most part they protected -- first year in the going to protect -- skate so yes he could be a lot like Brady the first year is going to take down what do simply don't know what. But they're not going to compare him to Brady in 2001. Season to break after it he's the only one that remembers that. Though the rest of right people going to remember 2007 the -- 2007. Hole right now. Is one at the -- 2007. The performance is all as one of the best of all basketball right. Did anyone ever asked -- if he considered transferring a USC. Is it for 48 iron I I do remember him. Answering. This question I believe he said that he did considering -- but probably as it was too late he was going to be junior and it's tough when you're a junior because. Line he'd like to beat him out as late as a sophomore freshman. And one to beat him out and then he had this he only had like the year you two years and yes it out and of the years fans.
There's like Wake Forest is something get the chance our residents to -- Gutierrez did. Gutierrez he -- anger and some guys do it just because they want to get to a better -- Harvard LSU you know when I was what is. The Celtics -- Rick Carlisle threats it did consider transfer drifted main transit Maine to Virginia it and Leesburg there. Let's say what I've just wondering if Cassell considered you know what I'm going to stand wearing a baseball cap space Warriors used a baseball player to play baseball uncle. One yeah I know we did in his -- as -- called the national starting one story right. Castles and he beat him awhile. It's a Christian --
Ever jump totally ignored. Good Jorge -- I don't know about Jeff George -- as Albert -- quick he might die you run the break up the smaller salt. I got about 45 -- come on now.
People on -- let's say that should -- a shot at a special people when they're taking out they are ridiculous games that they know okay means that they now.
Scott -- Gaudio aren't we after a -- with somebody who knows the system even Vinny Testaverde you know. But that's what I gotta say is that. -- the Super Bowl everybody's been saying that like solidly and upon this sixteen and OC and like anything less that is going to be a big disappointment. I'll -- like. They win eleven games we're all excited and I got excited to a lot.
you don't have a top sixty you know the goal eleven and five and win the Super Bowl. Finally we know if -- even with lifting weights at throwing a football and running and I I don't.
even though we can't let us and we. That that not me it just somebody you know is -- around the system or whatever it was played -- a check for -- you know you know we've achieved.
I think -- nailed at the I think guys. I think I think reading some of the stuff -- red line people like geez let me think what name and I dredge up here and and -- it's unusual suspect --
I know all that there's this. Because people don't go with a alias. And he wasn't a star wasn't even a starter for single game and now people thinking some stepping up -- But why is -- that Bill Belichick. Arguably one of the best minds when it comes to evaluating talent. Drafted this guy and kept him around for four years.
Does that are there's a reason. And now maybe we haven't seen it and rightfully so we have -- what is Tom Brady's but the guys played.
It -- most of the -- what happened and and Pete Carol talked about it today. Nobody knew who we was there were no takes on. They literally made he made practice tapes I think -- parents sent him up to pro teams. And he literally senior day they within a look at other players and he looked he may he Pete Carroll said he hit every single.
That's what you should mention that -- in his last high school game with a 4542. Game looked another round of the playoffs and -- again at palisades high. And all he got -- was -- there was the run the ball the whole game this with 42 -- but his only points going weren't conversion. Two point. Tony and I thought he went -- Waterman when he went to USC for that that practice a.
I got a question for you -- and I don't I think combining these steps from the National League in the American League like. Also the second -- outlook just seemed -- based. -- against each other but I gotta go online and like look at the totals like why does so different.
Because it's two different leagues and you can't.
Why it is only human growth to a human and it is --
Okay with the human direct money -- say earthly throwing to -- I mean is is is it is it fair for -- home run numbers whatever they -- it to suddenly be in the top five nationally home run totals. -- I mean I mean Barbara tell Bartolo Colon was when he game one a one year but he didn't win he well I think ten games each league.
It's still the same targets like I you know their major leaguers that.
Always said and done his Major League statistics that they'll still be the same.
Okay well -- it's awfully difficult dirty Internet the -- go to totally.
Knowing the title for many years ago as a terrible outside just I -- the only person ever -- that is a topic.
Well well -- just -- different kind of --
But I don't know I would follow baseball since I was date guys have been transparent leagues in mid season deals -- to get back to Belichick versus breathe you know the paper that way so.
a little bit and got I think we're about so that is the true example irony. And that in losing the best player in the league all to maybe make the Patriots a better team as a whole.
And last year. I don't know don't give us -- it I ice I I think January I -- you this again integrity and he says the team now will be better. With Brady gone -- he doesn't mean I don't think you mean eighteen you know undefeated the perfect -- and then how will they be better but he's talking about now the guys and other players now having to step up -- like I have. That's passed ball. Not that champion go home -- well bill with a going to win a valuable life let's don't know Super -- bill you're missing now.
Earlier and -- I'll remember was on he said that the coach head coach and the quarterback 80% of the success TIU. Greed. Yeah I had no but I you don't -- I didn't agree with you. I don't know I don't know what -- your life. But -- atlas felt with you take away one all of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the game. Coming out the season yet last year how can you tell me this is a better team.
Okay all right let me explain. That's going to be better you actually obviously -- to even if you lose this. And the going to be better -- it would -- where you said there are better better then why. -- as well he'll be better -- me let me quickly. I think that the pitch is what so on so much success. And I hit it and hit it --
All galleries and -- little. Probably asked about domestic all the credit away from the New York Giants that's. Just -- defense played a phenomenal and you're not completely you know what I.
The first time you're not explaining. Yeah.
Because like keep giving it erupted I've been called passive not as well and.
You know regardless the does not certainly argue left and so it's but it didn't make you comment -- but it.
Wait a minute let me make bats and I Corey and did you know you can call BW walker okay. Because what I feel -- what capitalism or last year is that I don't take the -- all the competent. I do extremely cooperative in the -- of well. They're business in a businesslike manner and they did not next but I it's that's the other New York Giants against the along with people who agree.
Law that I disagree. They intensity it was he didn't know what I don't know the last you know five seconds -- one of you said if -- if if society makes that inception. I did.
Well we don't think I've ever felt I had to anyone not to definitive agreement that -- which are now it took. Excuse me they were better quite rightly or go to you could put normal lesser intensity is an architect and.
makes that interception okay which he shouldn't. I -- bill along until I got to look at like -- and a -- if he makes an interception. Is Eli Manning sharing the stage right now --
No that's not. To give credit biological -- receptionist Dave -- and and they win a Superbowl I mean probably not maybe not you can do that you can you can pick when talking about law. But my point these you can take any -- any game -- get back to this point how are they better.
And I think I think this is Arlene Lewis yeah. We -- a little -- human. A valuable life lesson and.
Okay very yeah.
At least that we witnessed it also -- it's just my opinion when about it you carry over into this season and there's no -- Vietnam lucky.
How automatic out by having you come out not having a big lead at halftime in Indianapolis. And losing in the second half that gave them. A little bit more -- in the last.
Since I was eight I was -- root for big.
Aren't you missing -- mr. met Glen point oh you are talking about a crushing lies being used as a motivate or. Going into the next season.
You -- and I don't know if they were not well example of that was happening I mean I don't you can look.
Act how they're -- a hurry Vinatieri fell.
Yeah it was a big god I think right now and out east by themselves. In an underdog situation they hadn't seen it outlaw with god does it it's self help you -- couldn't help.
No I don't get dealt with -- a run at a time I need it's going to bought me all night in new please in one sentence or two sentences explain. -- all the crap aside how and why they are better team Brady hurt so.
Q you will be ready have been outside -- yeah I don't I must say they're going to be. Better without -- but that was the whole premise you call that -- there. -- Because people telling how good you know good he'll probably eat it anymore and -- about -- I would look at them they have not played with it is an -- but.
I what I wanted to believe that I hope I I've won Indian has them in the that we can bank on. It's something is involved it just doesn't happen in real life both regular we're hoping he had -- in the -- and we can work -- let's take these points like that you leaned on Brady. The guy out now I don't think he -- it's right you think eight. Leaned on Brady yes because it was the best quarterback -- when he years of that. Okay so there's really not Brady -- and I got like -- stated what does that. The reds are define -- him I mean to disrespect. It sounds disrespectful to Bruschi and -- now I think it was cold and our guys -- it's disrespectful to say I would when you've got an all we know what about why are you leaning on you know. Is he telling me these guys didn't try hard enough last year in the apartment that that that that flies in the face of everything we noble pro -- There -- hall of famers on this team that I think. I I think now going to probably have a better year this year that maybe are I glanced that you could point me quarterback for the Patriots in Ted Bruschi Tedy Bruschi would look at the same market. --
