Mikey is awfully -- tomorrow nine -- John Ryder. Witty and up until 10 o'clock. And I'm very happy to be joined by. One and only WEEI -- comedy he's not only a writer Rhonda on the site you're here now he's a -- actual post unease is not a a sidekick anymore I used to it for five hours ships solo. We're talking look for men and who still hasn't figured out how to. Like -- like it is headphones socket there saw pictures in here are rams are stock and a patio about this upcoming London. Much needed time. Have a good time I would think so heavily and there have been there have been did you enjoy it -- a -- of one. I was -- a -- Alia the league rate it's gone well you know -- where the beard. The by a dish -- the while I I haven't the first and have grown a beard like three years four years as Justin which -- thing you know they'll they'll be gone in March. But it's so -- disorder gallery talked a while you know people -- try to get over the Super Bowl or there's occasionally -- Some people call them about it I mean noted it's it's. I tried to get into the reds actually it hasn't been too much Red -- every station right is it going to be at the news as yet they. Pitchers and catchers reporting and sent to a speed third straight third place finish you know they actually contender. What course disable the soup sarge almost disabled the super. What's left we weren't sent there there it still analyzing dissecting and others still the conversation levees excuse because -- Eli Manning. Was -- a top five quarterback. Well of sorts look at the guys OK we're absolutely put front of them no argument you put the three guys -- via -- put. Brady Rogers -- is correct. After that user guide you absolutely no question from Peyton Manning rather Eli Manning -- but. Mommy -- right brothels burgers here -- that conversation. Philip Rivers had such a terrible season both of us CC. Shows you how much we know we both Adam as the MVP for the season Ottawa and admitting that the public -- probably -- remembers that but it. -- right yeah I mean my point is. You can take Philip Rivers you can take Roethlisberger I guess he can do that you can take this guy back and you -- Manning if you wanna do that of course put me but three guys you would say no argument even though he's beaten twice as suitable -- Rogers and and -- after that pop up next and you guys. Yeah I think at this point is probably flip a coin between him and in Roethlisberger at this point especially what age is completed I guess people just look at maybe. A regular seasons. And he did have a good regular season this year real and in the in a down year the year before that he's really pretty much had two solid regular seasons very consistent yet I think you know. He's going to the hall of fame now that's gonna happen whether he deserves it -- not. Just based on the twenty -- master plot to make the whole thing. To be stays healthy puts a reasonable numbers he's going to ago. Whether he's a hall of fame quarterback and on and it is different argument I think you know he's had one really good season so -- in his career so it depends how you define. We define you watch for regular season. You -- a fifth 67 post season. One game one drive right now at twenty yard line if you're giants fan you are not treating -- timing for no way. No knock and to which -- try and no in the other part of his two least 31 years old. So we still has some time left here shortly quarterbacks can go you know. Previous reformers and I didn't know I mean you know as long he stays healthy you know any static data uses legs to a mean price it's. You know so I I think three warriors you know Samir we had a -- have Matthew Stafford -- we definitely definitely never again. You're starting pitching tomorrow for a year you definitely taking Stafford -- lightly that's it that's a no dollar so the also helps we have Calvin Johnson TO but -- age old argument battle what what's more important there. But you know it's as saying I had -- you know lines pretty much filled up as soon as image of Kurt many hands covenant -- drop off just drop just that the 61777. -- 0850 toll free 888525. The steroid fifty -- said 85850 now you hear about the it the noose around here today. It was and it. You know that oh in the hallway we gotta get the bottom of this sure I want him Brad Bradford has -- witness I think he does sure it goes juries. Member of the Whitney Houston boots. There were displayed in the case forgot about that was displayed in the end the in the case so it outside right outside you know crushing mantra yes missing. Really is that really true missing so I'm thinking. Before -- for wood down for I know how he likes to put on the show likes to put on a performance we've known him a minute but some and heels before but that's another story right up by. I think it's him I I think he's been wearing those boots he took a gallon for a -- doesn't held a version of the -- was that at all whether that. As ties into it or not. -- the these suspect I haven't -- that I did here do I wanna dance with somebody. Right Brian I was on a daily yesterday and he was zionist boots in the past so that's -- that's possible Craig buster I think a lot of cant. It's under an alias you know order weigh in. -- where it was -- saying that he was traipsing around -- and has -- the five out of five of those. These are an -- that that that's a positive thing about Whitney Houston camp. Finally before get all the -- it's awful it's horrible because we haven't got a text just saying obviously it's obvious to the terrible Amish. And the degree if they're not patent you greet me and this is a person. Every day people -- Look at these stories and you look at them and you look at the voice but also -- Whitney Houston because she sang well it's like the world and it's really not -- person. Could handle fame and children feel badly for her feel bad for kids. We always make these people out to be more in the war after I saw Heath Ledger was slightly out why what is the freaking difference it's a tragedy as much as. Some getting hit by Boston bats Borchardt. Abuse by Abbas and Duluth and what's that that's a family man over you know -- nice clean life -- You know whatever -- because everyone doesn't know the person regularly read and people have connections -- musical. Three days ago with the use it was a punch line all the sudden now she is like the queen of all -- the world frustrates. Yeah -- a struggle because I'm waiting for -- so it's sort of like all of its maybe that was the problem I didn't exhale. And that's that's not right that has no monsters that he cares now it's not that you know you know actually a couple calls he has stated Ayman Al Sadat is not the not ready months. Added that he a couple some text here about it but. Now much cooler now that's not the way they have no interest in him if they want in the event last year now the -- And the and what what about the grammys last night check it out and watch Bruce Springsteen star of the show spectacularly well I think he's dying his hair and eyebrows -- Automatic check the movements on the Foo Fighters. I don't I don't know any of these people tell me that I would doubt I said to my wife -- it was -- Said you really you are -- touch on them and -- associates. -- an illusion that you overweight that I'm sure -- is perfect so unbelievable so that's -- Unbelievable some old John on the world's oldest recently yes so -- anomalous person. You didn't. -- what about this. This DJ there with a mouse ears and on the united -- region detect them when. What is that and bounce yet dead mouse head that wears the mouse head and in into the techno with a closer to winning and we. I was up there performing with -- like the Foo Fighters at one point. Davis of its currency. Techno you you'll probably hear some of that New London they're big into the the big unit electronic music here -- one. As raves but -- I'm you know -- again are you critical mistakes I mean and that's another reason why it to Bradford took those boots. As you've been known to do that is we at -- has literally gone. Those etc. that's straight it's just that style tunnel wall and it's unbelievable but maybe they're fearful I I don't know what really happened I would like to get to the Bob -- But it happened this morning Kirk. So where in the clear I know we both work yesterday in my -- Osborne clearly Mike. Obviously passed to me he's he'd be who beat the guy on -- the first dad -- fix files issues. So yeah Ali got Neil Shawn of maturity in -- sneakers and warm for your actually you know what happened sneakers he left him there and and and when Mike used to once famous rocket abuse -- wild ladies. In the case. Will be that it's over. Case while we'll have who were expected to attack to Bradford penalties coming in her -- calling in -- what the deal is but our India and in the 9 o'clock segment so I think. Others are already hot lamp -- here -- realities of these bright lights so will be too tough grilling -- world's -- those lights in his face. And into this investigation -- the bottomless -- around real quick one thing about the Super Bowl matches yesterday meet. Gloss means this historically. The Brady Joseph Montana stuff is over forever just -- it's done ops it's got. Ford -- super bulls eleven touchdowns knowing receptions. Verses two losses to Eli Manning answerable in you not agree seventy points at fourteen points he can't make basically that's over. It's -- lot of people have a tough time saying our guy is in this isn't that oh I think so -- ether -- workable time in the world through your your the Topper. I would I would tend to agree -- that. Has to get that another another Super Bowl just get a Super Bowl -- and embassies even in its two losses to -- so yeah it has been except in order amaze me -- On people well you know. He did that most suture is the first to support my -- he'd never right right. It like Clark a couple of decent receivers is pretty Coleman wasn't Solomon Solomon died today. Related to -- in. By the weighted -- here five points upset and it's not -- it's -- step in house news story that. And no we had dead -- and we have to pretend that that's crap we have to play right people Mets obviously off. -- All right David -- her laden right I'm comfortable post did and I'm letting him -- the -- on a pearl Jim figures it always debate debate. You know it's added it's becoming to immediately The Beatles Rolling Stones debate not to that extent but right. And a modern neighbors while anyway I don't know what's going on on the phones is it us I don't know there's -- to get into a talk about your anatomy they got an outline of things. I'm in and now it's that was if we you know there's plenty of -- that's for sure. But what you think. About the Celtics yesterday it big winner doesn't matter because -- and does does not matter it because -- that plane be because this team ultimately. Our I mean they're gonna happen again have some winds like -- stretches like they had. Before the Toronto Laker game win some games you know things happen Pierce's moment this and that ultimately John where's this team. To get beat Chicago with rose -- Miami a seven game series. Probably not happy you know what did they have the potential they have the potential to either beat. -- stun Miami or Chicago. But they don't have the ability to do both if you know what it means they have the ability -- While they were not the teams. Stop stop John Celtics off what I'll do it to -- you know yeah yes beer stop. Though the playoff rally beard yes the sixth but that's -- at the six point. -- as well. I was saying that I do think that it. You know another factor of course this year they have to have absolutely everything break their way ordered -- they go to the NBA finals they would need a key injury -- Derrick Rose to be. How would a back injury share Miami SF and actually this year not that that'll happen but added it could happen. NBA championship could be determined on an injury this year the MB agencies more likely that most years agreed to an -- you know rose going to -- deck here. This can be serious thing. I'll be honest I would not be surprised deal. If any looks at this -- I'm blown hole at some point might just turn and look at it we are not winning with this team I'm starting. Completely over me be the only way John to get really good again is have to get really bad outing by the put themselves -- the other part of it is and and they might make that move after march what are you get a return for Kevin Garnett or Ray Allen I how much I think Ray Allen might be more even more attractive as crazy as that sounds just his teams would look at that you know to three point shooting yeah. -- and don't and I agree with that and I am I united. At the same time people say what they of these firing cartridge stables freedom money -- take a look take a look at the -- list -- ever Olympics you've got Dwight Howard who isn't coming -- you've got Darrent Williams and if you still have brought a maybe they trade -- after the she and surprise what does -- duty to bring in there now right different. Exactly. And I twice and start over -- mean much you wanna see where buildings steamer on Rondo and again you see things John. Like the other night on -- stretch -- lakers game when guys are point three yards off Rondo in the offense release offers that you see that. You see -- mail things in the convenience for on he start to wonder can we rely discount knew the guys on can't be that I don't know. By the way text is the rolling in now the phone calls who's gonna come -- as well but someone's. Wondering where is that next dammit riders they guest on the show tonight together looks at -- seller news that's that's not Paul -- that's really looks like -- but it's a public. He's got that sort of he lived in Serbia for a -- Not axles from you know but. Aren't even though he could be go. He could be gone in and I'm not hear that sound sound no need to thank you very distinct voice -- Nice soft British accent where noticed in his. Let's get to some calls went on stage on which it is let's let's move whole argument that we try to switch seats in ninety meter on the show him -- on enough.
New Hampshire people. And so. Paul -- got eight allied demands like -- Thank. Cartman hands -- well they are alive good evening. A question one early but variety is part of what that arbitration today. Epic quality part to a -- David.
Not think this is fine. Our one year deal and fact is probably better that they avoided arbitration a sense -- Ortiz is again at a table Lisa Arce said. Talking you know downgrading what -- what he's done. Now. It would little I don't want a three year deal -- at the by the cold as -- 36 asks given three years -- storage appalled that you want that -- three years.
Two years. Thought that he -- elected to hear that one billion and a that's not gonna take that he's he's probably happy with a coffee is the -- the bring him back next year from it doesn't want or -- change. --
As you worked out -- a mean look they split the difference fourteen point 57. Million. Originally they were talking like you said Paul what two years around twenty something million new turn and I went to arbitration.
Actually -- today and that was one of the it out at another offer on the table but it. -- Order your thoughts on that it up -- Paul thanks for the.
