Dale & Holley's Opening Segment

I don't know who writes Russia's -- and -- There was -- powerful. -- I'm I'm about to change that I've James forget about not about -- today. Barack Obama keeps you pound move into after a close and both made. Barack Obama. It is the celebrity president. Of Barack Obama is a guy. Who's you know you that you --

He's in the media. You love them so much you people to -- it's a problem I have I guess I'm just I'm just try to do everything I can to make sure his presidency is is success clear thinking people like me and Coulter. -- and Gerry Callahan we understand we see. What is really about. For people who don't know what we're talking about yesterday we found out through the grapevine. That on our sister station down the hall and on radio stations across America. Rush Limbaugh mid day talk show host and I should tell you that because in this town apparently not a Lotta people listen to home but. But we -- nationwide. He spent four minutes reading from Patriot reign. Reading from my man's book now. We could ask where the hell was he when you really could use them.

That's when uncle Peter hadn't hit a go Peter King stepped up in the beginning this book is five years old. I haven't thought about it and while it's five years old and I'm proud of it because it's my first book. I had no idea what I was doing and said. I have a book idea -- want to follow it through. So. There's always a special place in your heart for your first whether it's your first born here firstborn your first -- Your first other things what ever you always and he thought he is he is he now you know yeah. Definitely dish it out Huskies at a lower interest Rick bring your first. So Alyssa diameter trees -- and I. Where are taken steroids threatened. I know what do you put out what they called me hitting fifth whichever league -- oh that's a -- Anyway I I would I would make is that a pair I don't I hadn't thought about it and and big rush came through somewhere to start. Are talking like rush. I'm gonna start rooting for the Kansas City Royals in Kansas City Chiefs like rush. And start thinking like rush and like I Malcolm X that back in the day when I say to the boss not going to -- to the boss boss -- Boston are we sick Rusch are we -- today good point. How we feeling today. Doubt give people an idea. What four minutes of Reading from your book does in real life and I realized yesterday on on Amazon.com. Patriot reign began the day -- to 175000. And change. Which -- a five year old book yellow which raises is very far from Tom reduced geez I Yankee years. Which is probably in the top ten at despite winning check but it's gotta be in single digits -- guard. The low double did you start of the day ranked a 100752000. And -- hundreds or 5000. At one point yesterday when the 3000. So we basically made a difference of a 172000. Spots yes by reading for four minutes from -- I'll give its own. -- we don't agree politically we really don't believe what we can do well we did before bought -- How -- I left. We're told we don't agree politically by the knowledge that Michaels at home -- gaudy I think we can afford to new furniture here I'm going to -- that look like stimulus package and god. Also -- some stimulus bacterium -- three and another -- tomorrow.

We don't agree politically but I'll tell -- this guy is extremely. Influential was one thing we have people listen to you. It's quite another to have people be influenced by what you said. And on the sports side of Rush Limbaugh not that they are in the same political landscape right but on the sports side Peter King with the same way when Peter King. A back in the day wrote about Patriot ray.

morning quarterback went right to top I'll. Well I was happy for -- I mean -- it was kind of cool to hear rush talking about chip and if it wasn't for you know some people let us know we'd never known that I had no idea they see you guys who listen to it and pass during the commercial breaks here. His most the time their listen to us cycle really is a talented radio -- than a week you just he's very very -- zones some broad coasting very go and I'm glad they're very good record. -- well I wish I watched a basketball game last night for awhile. Ten now and unfortunately it it became pretty apparent to all of us who are watching the only. One of the two teams decided to show up on on him just for a smaller -- we get to Marash not a 112 north -- bouquet. You're.

Our columnists and retreating from Wikipedia which regular all my information. Humor columnist and journalist Lewis gross burger acknowledged that Limbaugh had quote. More listeners than any other talk show host in describe Limbaugh style as. Bouncing between artists lecturer and political -- billion. That's that bring Trudy and.

I don't get to hear him. -- at the -- usually a little busy when he apparent about their. -- hopefully we can win that that would be -- to run the is up yeah there's four stations on the floor. And and every month they changed the station a year on the PA system in the building so like you know this month I think it's. I think I think it's great hill station this month yes and and so I don't know what next while Greg he'll be very impressed that he he's got his own station now. Well. I mean I kind of hesitate to do call I would know I don't -- call letters that go -- okay sister station Donahoe I had a lot of stage what -- all are stationed down all. So sometimes you hear. Greg Hill. Sometimes you hear when it's another station here Billy Ocean -- the -- you hear stuff that you wouldn't put on your iPod Eddie Murphy my girl like the party -- were. Let. -- player that's. Sometimes I haven't heard Caribbean queen hey I actually I think I don't lie sometimes you hear sister station regression sometimes -- here. Right here W media so last night as you heard the highlights from Randy max there was little basketball game in Denver one team showed up one team didn't. Juiced he's just plain ugly I mean what I wouldn't and and Denver has actually been playing pro -- since the trade will look.

Like DL when they made that trade early in the season. I thought clearly it truly help to one team and heard another team. You take Chauncey billows from Detroit. Put them in Denver and now you've got a guy in Billups who doesn't necessarily need to score to make himself feel good to justifies on existence. He is not a great point guard but he's pretty good. And he knows how to set people up he's very strong possibly the strongest point guard in the league -- academy looks like a with like a blocking back -- it's incredible Lola postings you know strong safe yes yes I mean really lower bodies at this this off the charts it was a great trade for Denver. And a bad trade for Detroit because on offense. They're going to have to. Who run everything or acknowledge. AI at all times and I was not going to fit in with them they're going to have to adjust that had to tell him and then on defense they just a loss something. By moving Billups out of town and some of the other guys like rip Hamilton. And and Rasheed Wallace I think they went down a notch defensively so. It really helped Denver and they came barrel I saw them beat the Celtics at the guard and it was impressive. So I thought the Celtics might have a tough game last -- I expected them to win. There's no way I expected them to do is to rub Denver they just killed him from jump.

Now I was I was moving from one room to the other at -- time it was set so I may be running you can help me out here but did I hear my garments say during the telecast. That he wouldn't take Carmelo Anthony for a bag of balls. These take -- said that -- I'm pretty sure that's what he said I'm pretty sure that's who we was talking about.

While Gordon and now he's pretty upfront about some of the guys. Around the league that he doesn't like we know he's not a big Jermaine O'Neal fan and I don't blame on there. There's something -- with Jermaine O'Neal.

Carmelo Anthony well it depends if it's Patrick O'Bryant carried a bag of balls I'll give you both -- it.

Carmelo Anthony UN take Carmelo Anthony say for if it's no it can't work cap wise. As much as we love. Let's say. Leon -- as much we love big baby right Eddie House if Denver. Woke up in a cracking ish kind of -- and they said. We want Eddie House really do we we love the weight shoots well and we'll give you Carmelo Anthony. Yeah they got back the ball Scarlett -- Some guys are more expendable I just like babies not a franchise player rabies not a guy you build your your your whole team around but he's pretty good player got a pretty good score.

And I think witted and -- he and -- it's time we're talking about the fact that and it's funny because it seemed like within minutes of him saying it. They get down and an offensive end and he takes this weird three point shot from. Three feet behind the arc you know six seconds into the shot clock that clay season and M -- I sort of know what he means a little bad I mean he does. He does seem to worry about his offense.

You know a lot of money that's what he -- he's he's a score is an offensive player but it is so funny watching Carmelo Anthony now. And that they -- back to that 2003 draft. When you had. LeBron and Carmelo and it was this whole thing we made it we we always get into the hype of these guys will be linked for the rest of their careers. You know who's better. LeBron -- Carmelo come -- Now to Chris Long now what they will not be -- for the rest of their careers this not even close because LeBron will be linked with guys named Jordan and bird and Johnson and Carmelo all right some of the greats in NBA history and Carmelo Anthony is just a really good score. I don't think he is one of those players -- going to go out in his and it's his mission to make everybody around him better I guess. By default he makes everybody better because. If you can score of you know 253035. Point tonight at times which he can do. -- your team is he if he got talent on your team you're more likely to win more often than you lose so. -- going to be playing on. Nineteen netted twenty win teams throughout his career but LeBron James this whole game is geared toward. Making everybody around about.

I as you heard during the award winning sports flash from John Wallach with top of the hour. By the time he was able to give the flash at the time that we did the flash. I'll Mikki Moore had cleared waivers already be cleared at this happened at 10 o'clock this morning it is believed that he did. It is believed according to multiple sources The Herald says he's already made his decision it's here it's Boston. Herald also says that assuming that that's true and they believe it is. They will not hold out any hope of Joe Smith they will be looking at a different player to add to this team. And most sources out there seem to think that if the the arbitration. Hearing or go away and I don't know the words of the right word there's -- better asserted it's going on between Marbury and the Knicks if it goes the right way and Marbury becomes. Free and clear that that'll be the other guy the Celtics --

I don't know but -- that arbitration hearing is over. You know 300000. Odd dollars or something like that I don't think it's. This is not a hearing to give him his freedom so to speak. This is not the -- let's just may be what happened -- this this is just hearing over. His refusal I think of 600000 dollars he refused to pay however refused to play according to the next the next interview and refused to play. Oh we are going to a fine you. 600000 dollars and he's saying he didn't refuse to place so now Wright is being.

But the book most them. I shouldn't say most some sources that I've read indicate that this is the next logical step to the buyout. Which has to happen by march 1 -- they're going to -- Lazarus that it you know got to get it done and that that don't get this out of the way the on the buyout gets done he becomes free and clear. It appears that your two roster additions the two spots the you have open right now. If all the reports are correct would be filled by Mikki Moore and Stephon Marbury. Now I gotta tell you. And I'd mojo I'd I'd love me some Rajon Rondo to pull my my buddy across the table yep he's my favorite player on the team and and he is playing just that at such an otherworldly level right now he's thrust himself there amongst the great players in the game. The problem you have is when he sits down. I just think there's such a drop off and I I know the fear you have about what Marbury does to the the chemistry and I issues at all -- you know what if it. If he becomes that issue cut homeless. I mean -- you won't have that big an investment in them you don't have late but -- let's just take it lets take it to your house. Why bring that not out into her house and I and I Irish fans I just think there's a need here I I'm I'm not comfortable. I'm I'm completely comfortable -- on the floor I'm not comfortable at all when he's not.

You haven't Thanksgiving dinner. You have friends and family over but then there's that lost soul and -- your consciousness telling you you know one. You're a good man and you are part of a good family this person has no place to go in you should bring them in. And showed that good old main hospitality -- Then they act up they just act crazy.

I then you know wind last I think I don't know -- McCullough and everybody else was a -- no no not -- you don't have anything else we got so we got some sparkling cider for -- and we don't have anymore alcohol. Now and and then it just kills the vibe of the entire home I know they're not counting wants to bomb are very. To be the man and count on him to be the man accidentally hit the count on him to be like the eight man or ninth man yup. But he has doesn't history means something. They tell you something that he has never ever -- about the winning and his entire course rear.

I agree with -- I really deal Michael and and normally. The I'm I'm not one of those people who likes to take a chance on screwing up the chemistry of a very good team just for the sake of doing something. I don't think he's got a little something -- except you know he wants another contract. And you know and and we've got to save our phony baloney jobs gentleman he's got some money -- none on on Poland his act together and another friend at least for the time that's left in this season. Being the good citizen.

I don't like I don't like the fact he's playing for contract was playing for a contract mean to him. And what is plea bargain it up earlier Carmelo what what is plan for contract main. Do. A coach who's watching got out for me if I'm Doc Rivers playing for contract means. -- you do something. That people never thought she could do one you're coming off the bench. 2 you're playing. Tonight you could play 25 minutes of Rajon Rondo gets a foul trouble in the we've seen games this out this year recently raised in a foul trouble. So some -- mean you play 25 minutes 28 minutes most nights it's going to mean and the twelfth. You're coming off the bench. Ten or twelve minutes you're playing defense in your scoring. When we absolutely need it but it's not about you. Scoring on the second unit it's about distributing the basketball and really giving us and to set in getting good shots sports yeah so if he can do that they can buy him. Sure. Coach just look at and to even if he averages four point two game. They'll say may and I never thought mar -- could defend like that I never thought barbaric to be that unselfish. But is he thinking is that playing for a contract in his mind.

Or is playing for a contract I can get my -- I'm not. Yeah I -- show I've still got we will talk some hockey today the superb hockey analyst Mike Milbury will join us at 1210 today with talk talking with Mike on. A number -- and he will join us at 1210 today. Now we'll talk to come by and I know you were there over the weekend so was -- for price of WEEI dot com. Just back from the Columbine in in in Indianapolis. We'll talk to him about that and I'm I'm starting to see more and more stories around the Internet Mike Florio of pro football talk writing on sporting news.com. Said that it may be tougher to trade Matt Cassel when you think. Now we see that Minnesota's on the verge of acquiring Sage Rosenfels that takes. One of the team's off my list of -- potential candidates. I think they need a quarterback badly I'm not sure why you'd take Rosenfels over Cassel except it's going to cost a lot less but. And conditioning -- are you well then since they -- what you got that's all you're worried about you want to get better. His Sage Rosenfels better than Jackson.

Is -- betterment of -- Jackson. These -- I don't know an upgrade I don't know and I know I wouldn't know -- would consider an upgrade I don't either that it's one of those. He's thrown into a competition in training camp. In Eden Prairie where they were they work out and and in you let go from there. Because you have no idea he can't go and oh yeah this is Sage Rosenfels is job. Mr. Rosenfels is. Loses. Rosenfeld Portsmouth. Yeah I don't know Roosevelt.
