Look at it this way no matter how bad it ever gets around here and it never really gets that badly. Ten years so it's all been pretty good here. But no matter how it ever gets around here it will never be as bad as it is in the in the beautiful city of Troy Michigan. And -- got their own issues anyway the United Auto Workers economy. Layoffs and big for. You see the NBC affiliate. In neutral handled the Super Bowl pregame show the other name Michael and covered but yet. They they had that NBC affiliate of the the Matt Millen is on the pre emption. While Matt Millen is talking. Channel four. NBC affiliate in Detroit runs a crawl. At bottom of the screen as many stations do you know. You know whether coming up that seven all -- crawl under Matt Millen. On the NBC affiliate Detroit the Kroll says and I'm quoting. Matt Millen was president of the Detroit lines football team. For the worst eight year run in the history of the NFL that's the facts knowing his history with the team is that credibility issues as -- announcers as an analyst for NBC sports. Will Detroit fans ever forgive him this ought to crawl -- a crawl line after line. Will Detroit and ever forgive him for turning alliance into the worst team in football. Was he responsible and it's and the rhetoric. That he slows you crawl on -- an essay. Right they are not a forgive and forget of people out there like he Detroit I don't blame them. And the epic one victory with a mason. April's under Rodney Harrison. Did channel seven -- girls Rodney. Under the illustrator. Selfish or not at all on now there are no -- no call and they know crawls analysts days I didn't watch much of the of the pregame shows I don't know maybe in every city across America. Units and I would with a typewriter in the control room and it only that I don't care.
It only happens when -- sixteen team -- you you better you never been to a Super Bowl. Haven't won a championship in over fifties it over fifty years of Arizona Cardinals. Make the Super Bowl before -- Arizona Cardinals get there we don't. -- take out of somebody in the perfect whipping boy the appropriate whipping boy is Matt Millen.
But. I mean your your your your running the Super Bowl on yours -- matter you're running the Super Bowl -- NBC affiliate. And and York killing part of their pre came guys up pre game. Panel I just at least it was honest I like you -- if there was a little editorializing. I'm saying it wasn't all that it's not an asset. Absolutely -- is -- credibility issue is he now serves as an analyst for NBC sports because it was an awful general manager. He can't via an analyst. I agree with them.
A man and they can't be an analyst but I kind of take what he says what a with a grain of salt considering had a chance to build a team. -- didn't do a good job of that so when he came on when he first. When on ABC and they asked him all the tough questions. Matt what happened in Detroit and all. I would've fired me -- thanks a -- after years but. He's eight he's on TV and you say I believe football team to be put up front you know that you -- if you can stop the run a -- run the football. He got a chance being successful okay so we drafted 900 wide receivers. When you -- Detroit in the last when you finally got that one right and Calvin Johnson leave it out here Tommy about building the team had a chance to build team and -- can deal. --
I never right -- all come isu. Graduate. And they do in Detroit that the the Jack parker invitational took place last night it's really funny because yesterday I'm listening to DNC. And like the very first caller of the day at like six when he in the more is that -- and -- you know and it's like it's Beanpot Monday -- got a call in and pump up the volume it is such a niche of -- and you know it is a great college hockey and it's one of the great college documents ever. And if you're a hockey fan you'll love it if -- a Boston fan yeah you kind of like a lot. I I'm sure that you know in other parts of the country they don't understand our infatuation with -- but it still.
On -- part of an end in this part of the countries that people don't understand if you're not a big time college hockey fan. You know it's part of -- Boston tradition burst their undies in a lot of people here who weren't into it. All know my absolute and say Clinton Nichols the guy was out sick on the Dennis and Callahan Show coming Callahan of the -- and youth sport.
and that's why said it's such a niche sport but if you don't like get. I mean it's fun to watch I I give I give Teddy -- all the credit in the world I mean they go into that tournament at 513. In one. And played the newly minted number one team in the country to crush the nail in all I'd be 43 game. You know and the potential tying goal waved off a ball at the final horn it was great stuff.
You know what. What has to happen as even afford to have to get a rebirth here. Do you can't. And I mean don't tell Jack part of they called the Jack part parker invitational. You should would be as one half yeah they've been unhappy -- welcome. I mean for four and a for a new audience. --
They got a real chance next month. On northeastern as the number three team in the country. Greg Cronin has done a great job put -- that program back on top for a start it -- to get one win his first year at northeastern at like 1213 wins the second year. He's got them as the number three team in the country. Kind of bounced BC around a little bit in the second game last I think yeah it was a six to 16 the one. They'll play BU in the championship next Monday you got a chance of having Jack parker not waste the Beanpot next and.
And they got loose for a few years in Morrow just threw just to make the turn meant what we think it is or what it's supposed to be supposed to be is. You know you got these four teams going at it in February. And anybody can win you know every year. The outcome is in doubt and it's not. And seemed to lead as the most years you say -- is -- it. So. Nothing gets beat you not and he has Jack parker I'm rooting for northeast. For the good of that for the apartment I'm rooting for north northeast and go Huskies.
As as Jack told this team before the game last night we've already played in our consolation game for this decade. Last year they played the consolation that I mean. Not only did they usually when it there are always in the finals I mean they're always in the championship game. They will be again this year of course these are those what's fun to watch last I I enjoy watching it it's. I am a hockey fan and you know having grown up around here the Beanpot means something to me I know what's in niche sport but those like it was.
In the last twenty years OK so 89 to although 88 of them played 2009 Beanpot yet. 88 -- 2008 this is very easy to fines probably in in the paper today but the top top -- it. Other than Biggio and Boston College. How many times have Harvard and -- and you won in the last twenty years I would net zero.
I mean literally I would bet zero I don't know the number and we can look at up. I know that being used spending 24 of the last 26 finals. 24 of the last place right they've been in the -- mean it last year was one of the two times they weren't. -- up it's a it's a great question my guess would be non. Literally I -- that it would be -- will find will will check it out. Do you think I -- do you think Michael Phelps should lose all of his endorsement deals because the he gets snapped on the camera phones smoke tunnel marijuana and holly.
Our lives legalize it Peter Tosh now advertise it no Angel of and so I mean. He had. Practical joke it probably took a --
Okay. He is he is sorry he's he's terminally stupid okay ours is still well he's terminally stupid because he's in a roomful of people he doesn't know in South Carolina. Where everybody on the planet has a camera when these days and and the chances of you talking on that thing and not having it -- somewhere is probably pretty.
Well is not stupid in order delegates to know it's not -- they would -- dale it is it is Michael Phelps day. I'm not gonna live my life in fear of that haters out there's a hater costly eleven -- women are much credit to -- whoever took that whoever took the photo. Hater you don't like your life you're insecure. You hate the fact that Michael Phelps. Is one of the most dynamic olympians we've seen in our lifetime may be number one the most dynamic IP Olympian ever you hate the fact it probably guys. Hate the fact all the girls there were talking tomorrow. He could've had his pick of any girl in the house probably your girlfriend or -- if you wanted to -- out that it trekked up I got. There are no matter fact what follows what -- those battles. -- so some little -- tickets pictures and said hey look what I have one Michael Phelps okay. -- my lower let's move.
Well the irony here is with you. What's the big deal here on east 23 years old pot maybe it's because I'm the father of a 23 year old and and I think he's a pretty smart guy but god knows what -- how has tried not tried I mean it when I'd be shocked if my son has tried it wouldn't wouldn't shock to -- 23 hurled. Has tried it there's a great piece in today's Boston Herald Margery Eagan. Listing all of the public officials in the country who have admitted. Tips -- buying it including the recently deposed president of the United States and rock Obama admitted to trying a little blow when Bill Clinton I didn't inhale and I mean the list is is -- and -- runs through everybody. You're going to be shocked that somebody to Robinson you kidding me I'm not -- you know. -- and the idea that somehow. And and sent to their credit the companies -- he has endorsement deals with at least up to this point it's -- And good what's the big deal it. And I'm with you what's the big deal here. But I still think he's terminally stupid but that's beside the.
And I think -- think it's stupid that he did anything that would be that is mildly controversial. Because of camera phone that's why he did have a concert on the already.
He doesn't know and he's going to be shocked that this appears I come. And may it may be naive as is too nice a word -- you could say Nike buy gas to me it's stupid. I mean you're you're a public figure okay and and you know people hear on the radio they see on TV. They they read two books your public figure. If if you weren't roomful of people you didn't -- yup okay. Wherever. And -- do this. Knowing full well that everybody in that runs got a camera. Knowing full well that there's at least the possibility. That somebody's going to be snapping a picture of you. You wouldn't know.
When sports news breaks and liberate a camp with this right now that you brought it up. I did in. The pictures got to come out I hit -- I and I did I had you know a -- you hold this for me force and I was just pull right now that I held it -- And then the next thing I know. You know the London times call me not -- in what was I gonna do now. I looked at. Your Europe public figure out now multiply it by a thousand -- just for argument to live by ten -- what I meant you know this guy is a world the world wide. He's globally now.
He he's known everywhere I mean he's one of them probably one of the most famous people on the planet right now in the immediate aftermath of the Olympics.
I hate it no punt until about it and it if you decide to want to do it. Don't. Just make a roomful of people you don't know who -- Kelly when the picture comes out to narrow down the guilty party.
It's -- he can probably still narrow down like who did it. Because if he's doing it I guess he probably thought if I'm doing it in this room I don't know these people their daughter to. So why some undoubtedly work yeah -- probably most of why would why would he take the Specter but I told you why the characteristics I got the profiled --
I have got him. I want a woman but didn't help me know. About the medalist up and you know there's so. Go figure it out out. I know exactly what you are I don't witnessed dollar. Every environment I have figured US.
You're probably right by the way I mean -- I don't even disagree with your profile lovely. Although I'll like apartment while I have a feeling it there's a reason why this picture appeared in London tabloid. It's not too hard to figure out. Cash. It's money it's you know offer to the New York Times they're not paying you for. Offer it to that the Boston Globe. With the newspapers and South Carolina but just takes -- out of four. Offer up to though what was the world. News something brother in London -- national problem at the airport and well it's it's good question but the guy. It's an eagle coming out you know.
This is that this is -- thing he's got to remember and everybody that's remember and and I think most of us have figured it out. Gone -- the days when we look at the olympians as pure amateurs. It there's there's no. I don't know it really ever existed its purity in the Olympics mean you can go back. To 1890 -- go back to the early nineteen hundreds and you'll find some type of scandal. With the Olympics so I may be some people think that the Olympics -- political parties took money. Yet the people think the -- the Olympian at the Olympics are pure and olympians don't do anything wrong. And they're supposed to uphold a certain standard. -- I guess on paper shortest post -- that but the reality is. If you have a good Olympics. You are definitely a pro you're going to another level he can get them -- Michael Phelps can do anything you want to race announcers. He he could get into movies. I don't know about music. But he could just be a leak it to walk around -- say -- Michael Phelps and Cybill I am for you get paid to this topic got out so.
Four for anybody to say well you know my kid is taking posters down off of Lawler. -- coaches who say I don't know what to tell my kids anymore.
Which a lot of that out. Michael Feldman. Eight of Phelps credit. Lightly can't. Try to -- in. Like. Cameron wouldn't -- I mean I I Iceland's density counselor and bought the who was on camera -- I admit. That. --
Not that went on me maybe let that. I I did it I'm I'm 23 years -- mistake. Yeah for him handled it perfectly no issues whether it. Gotta be kidding me if if you actually in this day and age think that you know there's a whole lot of 23 girls out there haven't tried it. Or never I'll I -- it would.
Never dollar -- that's not the issue so the issue -- Michael Phelps being caught her being photographed. With the ball goes colleges. Marijuana part -- and hey second bong hits so that the issue is if he. Who was as name to -- not meet the parents potted soccer.
I don't -- upon my way that is -- last name just I mean that elected hotel and all that's at OK OK EI just picture people all over Boston drive and it. Ditches. I mean that's the issue. It's the year is your -- time you.
And it the -- is. I'm not forget about winning now we're on the back and out when he gets back into competition. And they drug test in trouble. I mean a drug test at the Olympics I promise you that if he would use -- around the time of the Olympics they know.
Now just to be clear. Performance obviously marijuana is not going to enhance your performance and trying to swept day -- you do exactly so they test for performance enhancing drugs they test brought drugs. And that's it seems to value -- So if you're not taking HGH for example but you're a coconut and I think they -- Yeah I think I think the drug test you'll be you'll be disqualified. Yeah that okay -- just to be clear --
