Bob Ryan, Boston Globe

Joining us on the AT&T hotline ATT your world delivered. From the Boston Globe with our old buddy Bob Ryan good morning mr. Ryan.

dealt with like I'm.

Martin Bob I ice where do you it that I I meant no connection at all when we were discussing. The the proclivities of J. D. Drew in the segment leading up to yield. It just kind of worked out that way.

And it kind of funny that like to be in Austin. Media intertwined. Forever. With J. D. Drew not notified about ballad about the fact that much is that I would all of which I simply took a columnist act of all out so we say are skepticism. Are not want or what have spoken that would have been a big party. -- Take questioning or. The current spot because it was directly. Tool. Leo it and it and it up and -- in that kind of video it would import and would I lie in the eyes of people they which agreed to kind of -- about it.

Well and and I think look we played it eight. Probably more than we should as well I think it was the correctness. You know because not only did you ask that question to give an opinion. Well I hope it's not throw which which shock people.

Which doesn't happen liquid -- got that and it compensates it and if you had to say at a and -- it all hot and you know you -- and edit. But -- A lot.

But hey you know Bobbie I think it's it's a great point if you took those exact words and what I mean. Right nobody would think twice.

I think well liked and let whatsoever wouldn't remember --

In the right time Bob we have I don't know of infatuation but an obsession I think -- I'm an obviously like we're talking before. When Terry Francona. You know admits. That did tell the world a J. D. Drew us not a game that has got to signal. The frustration because we know how well -- keeps things behind closed dollars.

While it's got to -- this year -- Daisuke. Nobody had earlier this year but in -- management buy out yesterday it to specify what the plate all. It to the image that -- he brought with him it was are highlighted in the apart does your book. Appreciate it August. When it was so what -- commenting on a -- is skepticism about a and that's the baggage -- a question just -- it fortunately we don't overpay it. We we can argue wherever. What -- getting out of it such. Yeah I did it take a controversial figure but that there. But he -- So public about the departure so. All. Which just has this ever as it always is is a topic.

In your learned opinion. Is this -- good enough to make the playoffs.

Good enough yet I I it -- I -- of course and my feeling is it keep popping. I that I bought -- the year that they're here. It just. Too much talk in public so that it was his attitude was it that that's -- that -- basically by our hope that take lots of talk we're weight but he actually. While -- spike in spite of that out all. 888. They must beat a -- at. Yes except that people close but not sport. I'll -- that if we have acts -- either to reliable pitchers are the spark. A -- ace up its act and -- it to sort of maturity we know what time. I think that's been backed by now and exposing the -- or eight escape will speak. They're -- it out like it on our help well that'll I ain't gonna happen not something. I'd like this one -- but not insult our thought. -- that it should be an addict -- we made a direct opposite agree we want. But I think people just a quick they're themselves but it -- our ability to tears well up up -- that.

avenue goes back tonight Bob and we we start that'll conversation again as high do you put four pieces into into three spots. And -- we said earlier dale and I both agree that I think it's time to see more. Victor Martinez behind the plate because offensively speaking in this is a -- that right now was offensively challenged. The biggest improvement offensively is putting Victor Martinez is back in the place of Jason Varitek that you -- great.

sit there West -- that. -- are this is the hot this is that it. They repeat -- Grapple with which is that backwards from that respect and that we got back. That the pitchers do like to vote. And respect but made an art and Richard a couple or what about it it got the magic about smart what are you. You eating it up -- that. To offset the the difference in the battle it out the market -- versus. Ballot second act that if you're just what a great site or spots offensively we go there. And it was the dot net ballots that that's -- this is -- we thank you know the money the decision that's gotta be eight. I I think that we thought -- be -- equipment that. Varitek it's part of that throughout swallow it and they were about the -- it's a figure that the Martinez -- at least average Major League catcher. I thought it just you know just.

Bobbie I would catch Varitek two days a week -- catch him with Josh Beckett. I catch him with Jon Lester because I don't wanna mess with the either of those guys but Martinez would catch the rest of the games from.

Well that's a good point you do what -- two courses. But got the tactic the -- definitely we. Streets we itself but it -- well art -- although it was at a better spiked this year and it is yes just yet because. Idol beat people that because he walks and not to act out. And anybody -- the ball somewhere. But he's still or the basic symbols and it left a battle. Well it's -- so yes it was like -- and it's. So but now it's it's deteriorating and it's been a while a good place that we also elect to use about it well all well it's. The other a lot of but not without it -- 80 that's not but. Well that's what we county but -- well I think it yet it's evident that. It is like.

Bob it's looking Marc Morial like John Smoltz gonna go to the cardinals. And the job while Penn. And use -- guys that he would take any relief assignment when he said he didn't want to take that assignment here.

Not though it would it would not after if you eat smart guy and and ice can step back and look at say okay let's -- that it what I did. I therefore I had a white but -- by -- exit out of them that that major airport good it. Blocked all -- access. That. -- smacks. If it's a lot Eric and let it out there could still be effective it's the right thing because this is not being the closer. This is not the wake up our -- this is eight to spell out. And I like properties being given a chance to do so our door to the quite -- because the pocket -- it was -- 88 a tremendous respect for them. And look at the clock out but you know what. I thought the Red Sox are going to be like that's what it back of that play out the -- the World Series but they articles. And I think he can. -- on those two we have already. It's which I doubt as opposed those are all. We know what big idiot or what do -- it where he couldn't get anybody out and and also the idea of well get a little like you know is like what it will us.

Changing gears dramatically here because you wrote about it today I said on Friday after we ran Michael Vick press conference in Philadelphia -- I was very impressed. But he talked the talk very effectively now is gonna walk the walk. I came away from the James Brown interview Sunday night totally underwhelmed. In fact what I heard was a guy who acknowledged that he was sorry that he allowed these things that happen he never acknowledged that he -- them. What's your feeling about how Mike Vick has handled this.

What we -- now that the analogy is that the sixty minutes in sparse. The bust up a slide that it was second. It's just think yeah that was not a puppet of the old. -- I want and it is not so when an actor we have no choice but the cute little odd. Well yeah actions speak but. Yes well the ball like it at the answer in the interview that guy we saw I don't know like. I I. But ultimately. It's eat eat don't. At the plate the total. So like other issues are about it well I if you articulate individual pain are -- year. Because as we think any that they -- that it would in Arkansas with a great society. And -- but out of testing of its people about about artists. A -- that way and -- Will work that we have a bet of it what what it is the deepest part art. We edit it out I want. -- At stake. They hope that that they I believe it's a mistake to wait and allow the opposite being. We look at. All the bad activity and at -- what do we the people that has anyway don't cities changed. So it really changed opt out it was treated the Elliott at Iowa. We can't. I wanna be out of and while it such at all. Plight and that as of --

Margery Eagan wrote about it today's -- as well. And in she said you know she doesn't feel that this guy is empathetic at all that he saying what he has to say. To reconstruct -- news tattered career and I am not sure that I disagreed whether after Sunday Friday I didn't feel that way Soledad yet.

Ally of the particular number. It kind of had like that. -- if if that you know -- pretty -- culture. And I don't don't it's yet. They can't get it out I'd like -- you know it's Cho made it got to it and out she act out like what apple last -- we're -- So I what I -- a lot of -- and now and she got my attention when it. I'm not -- it was Marshal Al I don't feel I I wanna extend the benefit. -- At the top that called the stop the public for -- this way. I. Michael Vick that we ought polished educated -- individual that we saw two years ago. Michael. I wanna -- about it but it doubt. But with great but I suspect late budget matter. The witnessed grudgingly that we can we go now to get different -- that it.

I hate you know it's a great point and in your column did so well today I mean you can. Try to try to measure degrees of remorse right now but the plot line is if you do your time. And come out and say I am rehabilitated. And you do not commit the crime or another crime again. And they have every right to go artwork no matter what people think.

Many people want it feels so. It's reached the point that they wanna be the way they wanted to that we can and I don't doubt that eight Democrats thought I was just think our. Hey I think which were tightly I believe that that. They are opposed to the daily news. I like we don't say okay today forerunner to the editor on the subject of that. And -- when I got comic book the effect like total pro stick to get -- And one -- tight it's so they did eight. All utterly simplistic. To say it -- Ludacris. And that's what might -- like that only place that don't have been like eight that a lot of people. Got a look at about -- it has not been Michael or it's those people keep the act is suddenly become the recent.

You'll be happy to know Bob that our long national nightmare is over. At that Brett Favre is apparently signing with the vikings that I.

Years ago I can part of this scenario are tired is not that I gotta be in the public attitude I I I I. The latest twist is it's a lot of this actor I'm legacy and -- just. -- really are up and out -- not by what that bumped up at a rest.

It amazes me that teams allow themselves to be played like acts.

What they think that's -- that like I can't -- right now the first. Point Porsche -- wasn't -- bad it was at six touchdown gave it a -- what bad that this act out at our but I inspired by -- who I think. -- that we kick it off without it.

Was eleven throw completion and get them out of the game let him retire so his last pass was an interception -- in let's move to line.

At the party I've talked to -- like a gentle but but I. It because they look like it'll -- bitterness public reception there's just no other way that's the way it ought not to read it.

before we let you go I gotta get your opinion on the -- state of the pro football team Bill Belichick has been cracked the whip like never before. And it appears that he thinks he's got something down there again.

There's no question at this cet audio. Eight he'll preach as two years ago. -- that he still is loaded yet quite personal question. Skepticism. Cynicism that's been sequestered. I spoke on our -- backing up not sold on. Eight beat yet about it it's about -- I. I don't see or if there's any close to a Pro Bowl a defensive back what is washed or at it IBI. Still wanted ten. -- And it like back pay -- of course are smart. By double. A deeper into our skeptical -- but like -- fourth rate. I thought they -- that's that's a pain to see -- as a purist about other like backpack but he worked out but. Sure what to and -- yacht to a place like -- don't want. --

We have ever we have never topped. This stopped talking sports humanize. But it's nice that we could do on the air once again it was great talk -- I about that is bombs aren't exactly so the couple weeks ago are exhausted -- it and I'd love -- sports -- uses. He is the the educated one.
