Boomer Esiason, NFL on CBS

Welcome back -- the patriot Monday Dennis and Callahan joining Asarco a friend of eighteen yard line AT&T your world delivered. Ballmer -- good morning -- over how aria.

As always does good morning and look reported just quality guys certain you don't write mean things worked out well look victory just good -- night.

Way around the clinched the clincher accident. Every weird that it. And -- based on the football performances of both the jets and the giants. Again shortly and hear from those insufferable Yankee fans today celebrated a World Series triumph is that about right well.

Well as the guys go to New York the negative plays and all look at the negative personal sure regularly -- you called I would imagine. After the performances -- giant chipmaker of the giants' defense was it was all Poland Eli Manning outplayed -- support and to grow but the -- of the the buckle our specialties yesterday. Two was just an absolute. Because supplies everybody around -- Margaret that when we opened the show here. Knowing what did you imply hey you know things worked out well for that yesterday's so I'll a lot of weird things happening in the -- yesterday and maybe not computer then Brett Favre called back complying and almost flawless game in regard.

Yet the the judge -- aside it seems to me the big theme yesterday -- was schizophrenia. The jets and dolphins 33 at halftime in a game that was devoid of excitement. And and they score 49 points in the second half a vikings in Favre apparently blowing out Green Bay elect 173 and out. Rogers for all the time he taste of the dirt yesterday bros 32 half touchdown to make that a game until they finally in a closing.

You took notice that we want to great barrier Minnesota and you can understand why it rebate would wanna -- apparently doctors I mean he's a tremendous talent I mean he used got it on mob. Is as good as anybody's in the league but he does some things that these books will work like hold responsible all week long. But it was really great Stephen in -- yesterday and another Brett hurt. This year -- and rightfully so but -- I was lawless I can't say enough about. Police used performance forget the -- you know that the drama that goes along with -- around him and all those things that are happening with them but on the football field. -- you know the first eight weeks -- can be used in great right now I would imagine they ended a long statement that we consider to rest in Italy.

A boomer what do you say. Should remember this what do you say about Bob Brett Favre back in August when he skipped training camp and when he was just enjoying all the attention in the it vikings were bending over backwards for him. Did you see it unfolding the way it has because he had to know one thing how good the vikings were he had to know. What a good situation that he was kinda. We easily himself in -- and now it's all it's all come to camera I kind of feel silly that I. Even criticized him at all I mean look look look look look how much funny seven.

He was comfortable that it subsidies and when he signed with the the Minnesota Vikings didn't you know I was happy for -- right I knew that he -- the -- what I -- happy with the fact that he -- that he that he missed training camp but he missed -- create -- hang -- and part of the thing that I'd love them. The most about playing Indiana vote was going to rule all the hard times -- the -- times that the you know -- the grind at times where he -- warrant but you know three months away we -- still there are every day with your team. And you became reported -- about football and what he had accomplished without having to go to any of that stuff and how quickly you've got on the same page of public person our president and you know Bernard Berrian and Adrian Peterson and how much they now have. Embraced it because they're winning is nothing short of a miracle on my eyes so. I -- he's got to get every ounce of what I believed then and yet he's still. Supremely competent and certainly first successful -- I have to give him credit but I still do. Well let go are a lot better -- would it properly all this stuff ever have a quarterback Israel.

Tell me this -- do you are you convinced that that it will not be a repeat of last year I mean they were 83. The jets he was an MVP candidate they were on their way -- up 97 in costs is coach his job he leaves town. Are you convinced that's not gonna happen in Minnesota.

I think he has a much better team in Minnesota I took the best running back and and football league of really good defense unit so that he spent the line it's very what do you do want it's you you don't motivated and that plays well. You don't really good football team guys so. I I think that you know ethernet -- not had a bad game yet but like I might net revenues had some bad spots -- In games but he's given them exactly what they've never been haven't had for quite so apartment at quarterback between games in the fourth quarter so. I would say that I I keep him -- Completely. A comparable lock for the playoffs -- don't have home field advantage throughout the -- street -- tonight in the war on that -- will battle them up throughout the season for that particular. And connected that that particular our success so I would tell you bomb. You could apply else guys that we might actually have been considerable this year that the case and that is going to be awhile --

You know Hillary -- something you just said in your previous answer regular Brady struggled early on or when new wide receivers came in this patriot organization over the years we always sure what it takes awhile to get on the same page with in and fill in the blank of the new receiver. Troy Aikman touched on this yesterday regarding -- With the new young vikings apartment and rice in the rest of those guys and quickly on the same page with Favre at Aikman said during the telecast of the way Brett approaches the game. It's not like everybody else approached the game he just tells these young kids get open. And I'll figure out a way to get you the football -- yeah I mean obviously it's possible because that's what he's doing this this goal against the grain of everything everybody believes about. Quarterbacking and wide receiving in the NFL.

If it I don't necessarily know that it's that simple I've only been through something similar remarks. What are called group but last year my career what -- quote all -- young receivers and -- and it'll take you over the last 45 games for Jeff Blake. We saw the potential these young receivers because. You know they didn't know whether -- not they were gonna get the ball on any given down because I would go through my past for my mind how much Patrick protection vote go through. My Libya receivers I would always get to the guy that would be open depending on the defense I was sitting. And they were made that you know comic vault each of them clock because I was able to reach deeper to get the ball to them. I think that's where they are right now Minnesota you know. Let's read the defense. Of god that you may not have gotten a ball on in certain situations on the divorce Jackson -- Roosevelt and -- and now receive in the Baltic what does that mean I mean you better be on your clothes. Every contest please call because just because it's called to one particular receiver doesn't mean that the second or third guy in need it you don't. You know and his -- is not get the football and I and when you win guys that also makes everybody happy. And when you win like they did yesterday and has -- touchdown passes. And in Green Bay -- ended his homecoming. I can't even imagine what that plane ride -- of the -- my how to feel like a Super -- point right home for everybody.

Hey you left out one of major advantage -- Favre has this year they didn't have last year that he doesn't have air meant geniuses -- coach.

Well you come -- the expand if you -- Felt that. Yeah I'd I'd take that you don't want it to be built boat -- can be a little awkward and become a unique because you are considered two of the best head coach out there again at all right now you have Super Bowl -- to prove it product quirky -- that you bring if you press conferences and not model world leader of just the football coach of all those things. Or are funny when it's built project because he has street -- to do it but when you've actually tried to take the fun out of football and Kirk NG into -- watching on the sideline that was until after the game. Not beat you to the real disservice equipment -- participate or I mean -- a lot of money. -- all -- do you -- Gilbert -- lol I'll put up -- you know don't for the rest of this year up from. You better advocate change in the middle of the departed assistant this week. Widget because itself felt sorry for whatever reason -- so they're -- they're probably gonna. On -- I would imagine assuming that the ownership is -- will be one to bite the rest of the.

Contract he made it change and I don't know what the says another 52 guys on the team but. I Anderson's up now -- the world they have with the C.

One -- three quarterbacks in this league you know Brady reason many people when there. It changed the culture of that block from the environment about lock from the department -- the opportunity opens up so it has no competence whatsoever once the on the field if you play quarterback in that environment. To have any successes that you're going to be hard pressed as secure flirt like industry Quinn. Who really don't have you know anything to fall back on terms of leadership and -- with an Auckland.

Campbell brought -- get to see much of this game and I'm sure you were glued trooper for three hours. Jacksonville goes in the Tennessee loses to Tennessee -- fifth this young fifteen for eighteen. Did they just wait for game that he could win the to insert him in the lineup or was this over Jeff -- that --

Well I -- know Richard Fisher -- I don't care what -- Fisher says it's as Bud Adams the owner saying that you want disputed -- gonna have a lot of money wrapped up in young -- next year about 1214 million dollars find out if he can play bomb you know you he didn't have a great game yet -- able to play good. It really helps some Christian option -- 220 yards and two touchdowns to put. I'm monetary any big award from our big jump yesterday they were on the football game -- out of one finally pick a wake up today and and -- pretty good about themselves but you know course it over. Or a long period upon I don't wanna student games that actually matter so you know these games don't necessarily matter what the team in terms apply elsewhere that stuff. Resource -- perform on a Sunday afternoon and an NFL game you want to game. You deserve the credit it. You lose a game unfortunately has been jumps -- in his pregame press conference. You know it's going to be -- also he's got a lot of work to do and and as well -- we played in world as to whether or not you know he can put up a lot these standards its contract this.

Over in your estimation is very shelf life or a diminishing return on sexy wrecks -- Ryan's big mouth. And how it helps versus hurts the New York Jets going down the road.

I have -- you guys I love Rex Ryan because QB. You -- beat the antithesis 13 Angie makes football on board and not an -- and all world here anyway yeah I I'll never asked him. Come down his rhetoric or events that occurred unless -- up. Of course you have -- reply elect will allow Mikey did this week. In Denver and yet there our show took them. Cast for that I think sometimes he does cross the line but you don't want their defense is playing great. That it would. Because they're deeper adjustment that shut down the wildcats they shut down -- at eight you don't give my hundred total yards of offense -- it was one of the most bizarre games that it had ever seen it lose a game based on two. Kickoff returns and a fumble recovery. Probably have a receipt that might in my all my years of broadcasting and article. Played a game like that so but I like Rex Ryan's personality and I think it's refreshing and I hope we will get more guys like that.

all the barking and yeah happening in pre game you know walking up and everybody's face and you know guys getting hacked off -- he just before the get the ball to even kicked off. Help or hurt it -- the long run.

Well I guess when you're losing it hurts -- you know it helps them. Are you other forms or perhaps white point if -- would be tremendously disappointed especially have to beat the patriots earlier in the season on -- patriots just kind of you know get over that loss they get apartment Tuesday. Clearly in first place now in the AFC east I would imagine all the energy. That the New York Jets are trying to particular have put into their season thus far. This is going to be a really disappointing spot opinion.

the jets or dolphins. Wild card contenders in your mind borer who who will finish second in the in the division.

I beat the jets well I've even though that they've lost twice the dolphins. Stop at the jet defense is one of the best defenses in football of the numbers bear that out they'll tell you that and can even Mark Sanchez the last two weeks. During the Ballmer has played played really well yes Bismarck back especially in the second. Have you could double rookie quarterbacks it is going to be -- up rapidly the thirty pretzel keep evidently did you know this is like. Carbon copy of the ravens from last year it'll probably be good enough to be right on the cost of what it'll walk hard they would win the division there's not there's no way to will happen but. As well -- it's healthy but I I think that the dolphins thirteen that you know one week it's up with the jets and and when you know the next week they can lose and they'll probably -- expected knowing ones so I don't involvement in the mix here.

This might sound strange but I think the jets' special teams coach should be thankful today even after giving up the two touchdown returns. To work again he should be thankful that that that Tom cable is not his head coach that we're trying to collect his job broken event at the facility today.

Well be Mike west thought that this is I guess equipped properly always considered a threat -- we used to be up in a little announcement. Frequent with a decision now was but it written you know it'd. Popular hard special teams coach he's miserable this morning I'd probably get mostly -- an unfortunate for Tom cable you know the hits just keep on comedy I don't mean sort of upon their but. You know you know now we're sort of -- could happen. Twenty years ago. Where these stories come from I don't know why we why we cover them while we discussed them. You know is -- National Football League should be covered what's happening on the field and and not something that happened twenty years.

Well at this all happened twenty years ago remedies -- pattern here.

Well got a pattern from between you know what does look Randy Hanson who by the way it was an -- spotlight for Al Davis. I mean you gotta understand the context of what's going on here and -- let the Napa Valley DA decides you know that it would operate and charges you know how credible. You know is to -- you know -- and in this case right and then all of a sudden stop and happens forty years ago. But sooner or later you know I would imagine that we ought to be realistic about the whole story aired its its salacious nature so we want to discuss that it -- it happened two months ago -- economy.

Well as girlfriend is with those -- in the twenty years -- twenty years ago she's had some some fall I'll put him in the last but he two or three years would be that --

The -- long I don't know their personal. Bill likes to -- I actually keep talking about the stuff yeah. But -- I would just like you know there are there are other people involved here right I mean if there's another -- that didn't. Right and and I heard not applaud this story that I don't wanna discuss what Leo what you guys. You know if you if you heard it and you understood on the work context all the -- took place you know you might understand why some of the things have happened the way they have happened in the light of one pump cable.

let's turn our attention back to football and doing the projected. Getting ready to back off the bye week -- the New England Patriots learned a lesson. From a team like the New York Giants who thought they were really really good. Because they were beating up on some really really bad teams and then turn out to be much of that one simply good teams is -- of the -- should -- coming off the Tennessee and Tampa Bay wins.

I you don't got a -- don't worry about them both of them bulletin that the patriots aren't I know one thing they're always going to be prepared games are always going to be tight they're going to be an every single and and you know for the most part they always take care business from the play against teams that are that -- and that's -- I think the -- next -- against the Miami Dolphins -- care business I'm not worried about Chad heavy walking -- you don't Gillette Stadium in and you know taken on the defense of the New England Patriots -- the patrons to get healthier now. I'd pick of the -- we can. Great time for them adequate performance of London art they'll be happy to. To be back -- planet home. I don't ever worry about the patriots so learn lessons and are back the pictures so want to usually teach a lot.

They what do you expect from Matt Ryan today -- that a little. Shaky of late go go against new world on the road to Beijing game pressure's on now. Boomer Esiason in the house and yeah game and he hasn't been at his best in the last few weeks.

Now you're at it and you'd better beer does that provide because -- not sold on the Atlanta talk indeed parents the -- become all but like all of the Olympic -- it is going to be attracted should be I would think both teams are gonna scorer. Upper twenties low thirties there wouldn't be surprised that won't get -- up of forty. Just because I think both -- will be suspect the big plays against them tonight hoping that that the saints have called remembers that now they have a new face and that defense and that's Eric sharper. Who has really been one of the best. Players. On defense in the NFL this year and -- about aren't pros have more to fix a minute could be a blow up to we're on right.

Back to the the subject at hand the subject you're gonna discuss all morning did Johnny Damon by. Coming up with a big hit and -- and two bases on one pitch to the earned a new contract in New York or will. Jason Bay or -- all they are someone else being left field for the Yankees next year.

Well that's a really good question I think there are two guys that are right now on a cost of you don't either new contractor of America a speaker that's Hideki Matsui and Matt started Ammon and those -- that you guys like bank. That applying for next year I think -- Yankee -- like we keep one of of those two are probably going to be over keep bulk of my topic they wanna keep both of them. I'm maybe Johnny Damon just buy it virtual would be on the last two nights. For the Yankees modest cemented himself depending on how long he's well underdog in the -- Alberto. You know four years thirty million -- Michael two years with them. But every -- put everything again it into the context of what does he want and what little yankees want to give him and appears the World Series hero like go like he was left might not support another -- big bubble. Are you might get signed -- two year contract that might be you know something. Akin to like what any credit has publicly yet.

It was certainly proved he can play there and handle the the atmosphere it have you heard anything about bay. --

Or I've heard other teams are called after. There are also target the Red Sox don't wanna lose them. So I would think. As far as Holliday is concerned he might be on the mets' radar as the Mets. And desperately need a first baseman a left fielder into pitchers are well -- what how much is that it's not like you know hundred billion a year yeah. I don't know how much that it all the multiple on this stuff that I don't know -- of the Yankees would go up the holiday. Simply couldn't have so much money -- up and --

You don't yankees can assign a projector a Cliff -- just -- there I mean they they agree.

Here is about two years not next year two years now.

Yeah yeah I mean obviously the sabathia and Burnett has worked out obviously you know Teixeira has worked out better than any free agent that have ever signed.

I hope they discuss your mortgage you're you're -- arbitrary. -- brought a breath of fresh -- to thank you locker room. And his professionalism. Has permeated through the awkward and here's a guy you'll popped the ball up the first base -- in the -- down to the first baseman he's standing on -- So we got dropped and he standing on second and all everybody's talking about as well party goes -- you know he's 100% of all the time and keep that love the way the guy plays baseball I didn't realize. It. It obviously didn't see you know all -- games will be played at our watch pretty much every game he's played this year. Even when he's struggling at the plate he's great in the field and his professionalism I don't care what anybody -- it -- as an eight. -- Successful. You know impact on the Yankees are.

All right leave you with a suggestion and a question for you. I respectfully suggest that you ask shell and retire that purple velvet sport coat and the and the question is please dear god telling the -- that match that coat.

Or are they ought to be looked like -- guy that would work -- local cinema a I didn't put -- will go to grubs but I yeah silicon Pickett talked to you about departure no problem like Halloween to have to work out yesterday Obama true working in the of the week. And have fans that matched -- now are good at that actually say that I believe that supports scope anywhere. I've over thought talk with a appreciate it enjoyed the world's supply will talk it's Monday. Okay Gartner group report sizable deficit -- element AT&T hotline AT&T your world delivered.
