Dale and Michael Talk Patriots

You'll call yesterday. We we get the little intellectual exercise more for our own curiosity -- manage the health of Reading through the Alex Rios contract. Because. You know there were reports out there that he had been claimed on waivers there were questions a year obvious legitimate Wesley is the -- are the Red Sox put waiver claim in on Alex Rios -- we went through the contract yesterday. At least it can make a whole lot of since the -- waiver claim. On this deal and that you know the length and all that stuff we have to right church wrong view with the Sox socks -- got right -- the color we got on. You know give the the best general manager in baseball Kenny Williams credit for having the courage and or stupidity.

I Williams has built.

Sure he had he has built a day contractually machine. Because -- and I you can -- and I got all that all of it on got a guy on the DL right now is -- and that -- sixty million dollars. In JPG Beatty he's on track that they just buddies on the idea yes they've got a guy now. Alex Rios Alex Rios 28 years old who can make in twelve million dollars for the rest executive. -- You know -- you're installment took another twelve now. Germane to the team so and in the outfield got zednik. Got Jermaine Dye. That -- Clinton is fantastic now that got Altria.

and I give them credit for being Boldin being willing to -- and going for -- we're talking about a team -- at the moment. Doesn't have a playoff spot in one of those of the playoffs started today things that are so stupid but we say anyway. While they -- not the playoffs if the playoffs start today so maybe Kenny Williams felt that he had to be Bolden and while their makes some some big splashes. By hope for Kenny Williams sick at this pace topic is I would think ownership to look at this it's able. I'm not sure I'm sold on the Detroit Tigers by the way and I I -- say this yesterday on the big show I'm not sure I'm sold on the neither I think they are catch a ball. But for continually take help the --

Well but they've got some contracts coming up right after this year I think they gain. I think forty million dollars -- 49000 contracts can disappear. So. They made it up. Into where okay -- Yeltsin --

Yeah that's a pretty good guys all know and and and listen nobody is doubting the talent of Rio so although. He is one of those guys who probably hasn't lived up to the billing. You know win when he signed the contract it was all -- look at this and you'd be like. If you sign Jason Bay to a contract extension back on the stock was -- and I look back on it.

But you know what they just kind of last year I don't last year so. -- I -- an All-Star last year's All-Star the year before. -- he's a little older than I thought it was a surprise yesterday and I'm not 28. I thought it was more like 26 but still under contract at least fifty yet we have got this it should have -- four -- five really strong years left him.

Well it's a it's a bold move by Kenny Williams will see -- it pays off of the white -- as they're trying to catch. The Detroit Tigers the team that we get to see here.

Well they're trying to catch the tigers of the Red Sox have the tigers here. They will face the blue jays are trying to hold up the Rangers and other Rangers had a way with the Red Sox this year. But not only do have a good feeling part. Of like when they need to have. Against the Texas Rangers the Red -- The only team that really. Concerns me in this wild card chase. Now I'm looking at the wildcard. But the argument Billick apparently in the Lockhart is the race. That's like when the Red Sox go there expect bad thing.

Yeah they did they just it it's one of those things. It's it's like the Yankees going to LA to play the angels again when right they don't state they they they it whatever it is called a mental block. There probably is a talent issue as well but. Yankees can't win and -- Red Sox can't win in Tampa I think they just can't.

Their record is -- last fifteen game. In Tampa and I -- Only two. The great gas. The great yes it. Oh construction app but you know. Ticket gets you want to know that I'm I'm almost 78 or don't and that's the way that somebody asked that question. You know at some surprising answers -- an extreme either way either they won fourteen out of fifteen -- was not decay or they've won one or two. So to a thirteen between.

I unfortunately am not shocked to hear you know wait things. Have gone down there and we sat through and watch some -- playoffs last year. You know they just they just have an issue about winning so -- an -- very protective -- to me. And I'd much I know you know you'd you'd yet daily YouTube. Eating pork or pork you gotta make -- or should say even you'd but -- In -- I'm gonna ask. You think. I was thinking about this watching that Tom Brady and entourage. Watching I'd like to convert him conference haven't gotten to yet -- Politics at it's it is it is me on rescue me. I bet his body --

You think Tom Brady. -- play in the pre season generally don't -- NASA.

You think he should play absolutely. Big. Well no I'm not -- to be up their -- three quarters of of the game on Thursday night in Philadelphia but but go back to his typical. An injury to pre season I I think he needs. You know I you can you can practice all you want and he's made every practice he's been at all -- has missed anything you do all -- that all you want. You know and I know and he knows it's not the same as being real football game against real football players and I don't want him up their play and a half against Philadelphia. I'd like to -- get a few series in the in the first quarter and maybe a little bit the second don't we have to go back and see -- play in the pre season at all last -- heated up players play golf and not a snap in the season and and by the way. On a team doesn't criticize the guy who coaches very often he liked it very much. -- kind of wanted to play a little bit and and.

I don't want to play and I know he said that if if he had some pre season time last year his timing would have -- As Bernard Pollard -- Brushing by his. His ankle as is Bernard Pollard brushing by the side of his knee in not getting the same hit that he got out of certificates of freakish injury. And even of Tom Brady had played three pre season games last year. If he's back in that same position he's looking downfield withdrawn about Randy Moss. Well and Bernard Pollard is there -- that you've got to get hit the same way.

And you do this every single day with those geeks in there we call what it's all manner. At the F five. It did -- Monday Morning Quarterback. A Republican rhetoric arrow next is -- training camp open Wisconsin which is where the Teamsters are having training camp. And you know you quarterbacks there last you know it quarterbacks. And I guess Matt Cassel got hit the other day or so don't count -- like when it down the white. Card. Almost I didn't know I play.

You know what you say. One time okay if -- if there's the other team you take out Tom Brady they're probably. It's some you know maybe somebody is celebrating. Privately quietly -- you are and got Tom Brady -- the U2 fourteen and it means sniff. You know you're so far out of the post season. You couldn't even -- the team that got shut out the couldn't sniff. The postseason for the patriots who didn't even make it that's how Farley you're and it was just terrible for the Kansas City Chiefs but you do that last year. With Tom Brady you say okay. -- the other team. It out to your own quarterback should cut him they should cut him immediately. But not Pollard should be cut right now.

I mean honestly cannot think about the -- not the only -- party live through this you know what happened. You've just given -- sixty some million dollars to Matt Cassell 38 with 38 million of which he actually gets to make.

Like Bernard got to -- You can go on injured injured reserve right now which -- you now for the season. They make money -- War. He's one -- is that it'll -- now got to go home either way you're not going to be around the team you cannot be trusted around. You are the key here I notice what an idiot really. -- anybody who hit the quarterback. Your own quarterback during practice. It's.

Oh it's an -- by the white eggs. I mean you brush by a guy you know you'll think he's gonna step -- laughed and he steps to his right your final void and you'll bump into one. Legs. Basically the -- Peter describes it an exact duplication practically of the play that ended Tom Brady's season he's doing in training camp against Matt Cassel. Now thankfully nothing bad happened Cassel survived sidestepped it got -- yet another reason once the games the last ten years. But I do think I aid in answer to your larger question. I absolutely want a city. Tom Brady gets some pre season time I'd like to start Thursday night I'd like to get in the data series in the first.

Yeah I think he he probably has to play especially since -- and play last year and that's pretty extreme you can't go to consecutive three seasons without playing. And expect because a good quarterback but we know what's gonna happen here the patriots are gonna have a good offensive line. I have to get off at the line. But with a very good offensive line. How many times the quarterback and -- it is unbelievable three guys make the Pro Bowl again. They protect Tom Brady he's not harassed that much he's not fact that might still going to be -- but fifteen.

And it down once gain 1518 times somewhere in there. Eighteen times summer going to be nice soft little you know bounce on the -- your of your pants type things some gonna get drill --

Eighteenth aren't your heart is going to be in your throat he Tom Brady go to program is just one of those that -- that's -- kind of surprised. That the the patriot. Didn't load up more weather through free agency or the draft and -- the -- another picked up bomber in the second round. And he looks like he's going to be pretty -- he's them pretty camp well accounts. But I I thought they were. I wouldn't -- been surprised if they had used the first property for which we know that it is big it's a first round pick on an offensive lineman because. This is what if that's what comes down to for Tom Brady -- that -- the first place. Protect the quarterback at all costs mean really protect the franchise you don't want him running out of the pocket. You don't want him eighteen times is not really that bad but you wanna ensure that he's that he standing up most of the time.
