I was -- a Patriots game this past season. Got there early it's I'll always do and at one point I was walking around but club area at Gillette Stadium. I stumbled upon this big gathering of people folk sit around and up on a stage. NFL hall of Famer John Hannah was doing a Q and a session with the pants. And I got captured by I mean I just stood there at the back of -- of the -- listened and it was fun it was funny. It was it was John Hannah being John Hanna while you get the opportunity to participate in something like that tonight if you would like. Because NFL hall of Famer John Hanna is going to be speaking. At the Patriots Hall of Fame guests at the hall at 530 they'll have an hour to tour the facility at 630.

And an autograph session with John as well joining us on the AT&T hotline AT&T your world delivered its NFL hall of Famer John and I hate John Allen.

Couldn't batter -- a great -- you're talking points written out already for your big speech tonight.

You know not actually on them what I tried out. -- If they don't want it marks -- Try it China and I feel of people like about it they're big unit from larger and out there -- feel like improper creator -- elevate.

You know what John test that tested out on us during the Senate can tell -- tell you what. Take what works what doesn't work in that you -- good effort tonight.

Not. Definitely afraid BI can't do that.

You know it's funny I in the introduction I started to say folks will get to hear it on censored John -- but then I realize. He's always -- censored.

And let them know part of our biggest strength is also the tournament biggest weaknesses. It's one of the plate. This makes me pay aghast. In fortunately. A larger -- control well bit more than normal but. Yeah it -- still stick afoot about there -- bad habit. -- I guess it is like he can't get back. I -- almost all of leases. You know but the old college football not you know what I there's that that people called a liar so I -- I -- this. They even oriental people in echo want to bubbly and --

While assured to be candid talking about the Patriots Hall of Fame as everybody who has -- Says it is unbelievable. What what are your impressions and observations about the Patriots -- thing.

If you and even there you know Big -- player.

No not at what what a corporate what about producers raved about it this morning for five or six --

Oh man it. If unable or more of the greatest things as you know it doesn't just talk about tradition history goes back and as a whole film show about. In the history of football most people you know forget that football -- In that up -- schools it pastor at Harvard -- where schools in. Yeah like echoes -- future about Italian Teddy Roosevelt tried. You know get rid there's so many people. You know appeared you know -- note that I played that they -- ruled twice -- outlaw all this work. It's just unbelievable elected it was their plus. You know OP history of the Patriots defeated you know. Even before I think our whole lot about the sixties so like that that was all on that I would go era. So. You know it was a it was a little -- and you know if if if lot of memorabilia lot of interact games. I mean there -- parents used to distort so -- It's amazing. In a lot of museums -- guys who won best saying it is far.

I am I mentioned that I I I just wondered by happening here you talk and folks in the game -- here and I was standing let's. I was listening to Q when and it seemed like they wanted to talk about bear Bryant Alabama football is translated papering.

Well it. Is that is you know we get every every week before the game in this stadium. We do what we call and a total would bring in a couple of parents from. You know the olden days so artistry in you know culture they give people. About -- actual war in the game you know what have to loses you know most people who haven't been around. Ball get that bad habit of would be that the quarterback receiver. By the whoever's got the ball is in you know we judges bring things bit hopefully they can look at then. Just the ball here so they can understand a little bit more about the fundamentals of the game. You know when you think about all the as a really -- circus there cause you know there's a lot of planes or on besides just attacked here in the ball. There's a lot of fun and then we opened -- Q today used to come up their little blocked. You know we're prepared to zone like Stanley Morgan and try to let you know break out real. -- look better and extremely. It is just we have -- to respond.

Based on that away from the ball during the Patriots season away from the quarterback who we all talked about. That's one thing or couple things that stood out to you about this season that did and in the playoffs for the Patriots.

picture. Perfect you know this intangible. You know. Everybody in -- faster buying low and away the things that the Patriots -- picture panda. You know the dream that they did this year. Winning. Eleven. Or should be in the playoffs. That close way. They work. There's no question in the and -- a lot of players took it upon themselves. Two co leaders. Into play. Thoughtful the last one -- total that I -- over there you know to me this is this a better team. -- any of the Super Bowl championships. Because you know pale in each other more in -- more to basically win. They had to protest Wednesday at the rate in the head. The taste they had those guys that you start that channel later. They could have those guys this year. So they hit it.

And if you that. You know that -- ended when you you've got all the marbles yours it's not really the way and whenever things against you and and you know a whole lot -- allotted. Runners. You know they're nobody wins -- they stood there all well -- if they get. You walk around with a tilt. Athletics and I guessed it -- over. There as time went out. One a lot of yanks. I always say it is correct it's just good solid possibly Eric.

And you gotta give a lot of credit in this regard to John I mean they knew who was missing they knew the players who weren't available to them. Which you didn't -- and say much about that stuff.

You know excuses are like you know the -- That.

I don't know I always get what you added to their group we appreciate that can --

Like a that I am one of -- added a little bit nearly. You know it. -- and what they did is they went out played. And you know to me. You know that's what they always hope that people would remember may. -- great years. You know -- I gave Eric it. That's what these -- they -- that -- well thing is is is argumentative. Those. In all the adventures just by at all. As well as others in law and -- this wonderful.

One of the teams the Patriots beat this year actually made it is a purple and just beat destroyed important that. What did you think of that Super Bowl job.

Yeah.

Well well of -- magical. Something out of what a great dribbled the ball dive.

Difficult it ended in a close game -- needed to break 2. You know. To me what the best. May warrant that was the best to change so that rapid. And unfortunately has I think maybe Pittsburgh Penguins in. You know. In. The in thing. In Saint Louis and won nine games they went to sleep well all they came back in the war it would. It was just a different. Is it not a joke. What is. I don't think that most talented teams won't feel this year had a if there's. And -- that bought up about.

You think about about the job Matt Cassel did you think about you lose maybe. That the best quarterback of his generation. Five minutes into the first game and you bring guy out -- didn't start -- game in college hadn't started the game in the pros and you win eleven games with them. Were you shocked at the development of Matt Cassel is here.

Not shop where it's. You know media.

In trimmed -- to retain the coach's head to saint something. It's accepting. And that thing and -- There to begin the year now frustrated because they work. Let him do more. You know you know for the first games. And there -- these short out passes in the lol like screen passes. Portland through law but -- coaching search developments conference in into it. Properties believe that those projections released. And -- as the Arctic maybe that I -- reasons quote the -- second game rod in this post as maybe China. You know not well those turnovers in eight but they laudable. You know he's. -- in here. There anywhere and it just it was just it was it was a great year.

since you're a member of the pro football Hall of Fame. Do you look at Hall of Fame weekend differently now to see who will be joining you. And yet and it because it's a very exclusive group.

Yes. I mean. You know you know way. Really built that we he has not like there -- you know but. Now ultimately spared. You know hopefully. It's the most of the a lot of now like you know visit -- And that if you look at personalities they have. If they're good people have been pregnant -- not good people who ultimatum and so. You know get a delicate that there -- that I played -- You know -- the it would it would be a lot Joe blow it -- it. You know I do have been. You know. There's a lot of the why. And I enjoyed -- so we got a lot like now. You know but it is like no way to slow it out -- each other factors. Or. Just I think that the -- used to it weapons. Systems social caught the ball. I didn't. No that belonged there it well they're. There's no doubt they'd receive things. In Detroit you know that you almost can't you know more develop that. I would do with it they would. Also you get in it seemed like he belongs. Has just --

And you just -- just alluded to a person guys they'll. Believe they can do some damage even though they haven't played in 1520. Even thirty years. That the case.

you know I've gotten out there -- eight years target -- it was hard obscenities. Around watch GPI. Look at a big change. You know not conflict. Or after when you watch these games did he ever thank you go out. You know block. It is is these guys. You know I countless dead is certainly you're so well. You know maybe quarter to play like they. Don't. That that mentality. There's always that they would be. You know. -- I'm -- well there was going to deal in the united camp. Bigger strong fast a guy that ought to Saturday. I. I don't know I think it. Will be as pivotal -- excuse -- it other innovative interior.

Sports Illustrated said you -- the greatest offensive lineman of all time and and given that as a backdrop I'm not trying to suggest anybody. On the Patriots is John -- in terms of of what he did what he accomplished. But there's a guy like things got a little John -- in him while watch and listen to and that's Logan Mankins in the sort -- general minds leave you a little bit.

Yeah and they can. -- spit fire which is it and unity. I think he'd get -- all's well this year causes the quarterback situation they reliable heavily on the run. In hole out here. And in Matt Light. In -- and open a lot of and that you know really care how wise apparently called it ball in tact. True those guys can't be on connector in inspect people -- the -- and it. -- I could be he likes it. So that's. Liked to -- great ballplayer. He has it -- at all that things will be a great ball -- air. I think -- they are solid citizen. And if you -- all a little bit in his wife. It used. Some like your outlook of -- team.

There's a guy going into the Hall of Fame you didn't really get a chance to play against the much at Yankee guys. May have crossed paths for a year I'm talking about Bruce Smith I'm wondering. What guys what defensive lineman did you play against where you -- you know one. This is going to be a challenge every time I go -- go again treasure SOB who always that guy who fit that description.

Well. If you -- which -- he thinks there again. But peaking at. Created by. Age. And -- home. Joe Klecko. The.

All of the fifth -- at least not a weak sister and I bought at all.

Trying to match them you know looked like he had enough. In there and I get in -- great tackle that he didn't play at all. All of the other interests and activities that. You know he's just it was a great news player yours. He was -- You know. Traffic played man. Contracts step. There are a lot of guys. You know interest rates are. In the chance slide their you know. Yes it and ever played against -- awarded to impose trade. Because trying out their ideals always better Mahan on wed win. Worked so. I guess and never never ran a post player better.
