Michael Peter Wright brought the -- the rookie forgot turn is Mike Donald are here it's just we're going to find him for a Peter -- it -- only but worry that's our. Let's you know we we said on Monday when we read MM QB we couldn't wait to talk deal later in the week and discuss your -- 15 and a lofty status you have for the Dallas.

Cowboys and we know about that neutral field and Wichita so Dallas versus. New England or Chicago neutral field you like Dallas.

Right now today is eat out almost playing might not for -- that what was that what he does. I don't old -- movie when he at the -- I forget that you know -- movie. But I I don't think right now they've got a hot -- the quarterback they've got to read born the you know let your for a week. I walk them and I think right now they are extremely -- and where is. You know Chicago Bears the three porting that they played this year there they have earned over a combined six. The other great game they played -- pretending they -- operate. If you could only avenue appropriately it's we seem to show up and it would seem at all -- want the NY picked them all for anybody but unfortunately now. Rex Grossman and it -- every now I have no idea what a lot. And has sparked the patriot -- the patriot that means could win a Super Bowl about it that easily because the AFC as you know at least. Right now to bet football like three only of Baltimore last night by. I don't think right now like the patriot a lot like a public good that Eric went bye week to week you don't get get it yacht off they treat it like me though. I don't know -- thought about.

The name of -- John Travolta movies Michael and that's equate to the guy I would ask you about a polarizing figure Michael Vick quarterback of the falcons. Where do you stand on this guy because a lot of people felt like he could be great quarterback or that it will never give --

Here or -- tight end that I never seen in 40 years covering this week a guy who is diagnosed incorrectly as much as Michael Vick I'll tell you why I'm on the phone with somebody at the falcons the other day who's giving given me all of they -- bad. -- pot rock captive by Roddy White by Michael Jenkins and by yet we will. And for me it's absolutely startling in their lap or law that those three guys that combines the dropped 45 ball. Maybe in four games ban those guys together should drop. Eight not site may be I don't to drop point five adding Jim mora part about it is BE eight at any basically that these -- it's particularly Roddy White. You know who dropped the clear cut down pat the other day. You know you ever have yet you know the start like it pudding when you could be two we get away from the cup figured it'd be beat why I hated him. What is receivers haven't I mean I think it's on air right now. -- judge Michael Vick as the failure. When he has incredibly unreliable receivers and a packet about this all alone could be gone after this year out they won't be. I mean they're a possibility now that that either two or three of those guys. Are going to be gone after this year because they get it realized that so funny you don't think of Bryant and Eric has a franchise player but he went out like before -- training camp with a court in Seattle. And I happen appear that data were all were training at our partner somebody got Eric I didn't realize that day accuracy that would be over peek at the possession receiver from don't know where where I think he's from Villanova. You know would be I would be out with a -- injury that first week training camp but is -- in short it is like that in my opinion. I think it. Q among equally unfair to indict this guy with a cat the characters he has around the right now because I still think he -- pretty good NFL player who doesn't mean. Receiver out -- should who are still not believe he goes through the progression of receiver exactly the way he should also say that. I'll blame it a little bit if now we think he's like we need games of might like they're very that I put it up in the air these guys grew up.

Peter the guy from the falcons organization who you were on the phone with giving of the numbers on all the dropped passes. Wasn't Michael Vick was at.

Golf at all or not but I wouldn't blame on speak about you what he has he has been pretty brave. Guy about not figuring out guys other than to say I think he's that it is first -- for Monday we got at these past. That the only thing that and I mean no I mean they're able you know they at eight dropped Sunday it. I don't know you know what I don't want to make excuses for the guy is making he'd make enough 14 million dollars the year criticism comes with the territory I think they're like that but in my opinion the blame him solely for this. Is totally ludicrous. And I think it is at most 40% is --

Are among the many jobs that you have one is one of the cast members for HBO's inside the NFL. The Chris Carter in -- view of Larry Johnson this week has made a lot of news around the country and we talked about it a lot here today as well where he was surprised by the things Johnson said as we work.

Well are you what I mean I didn't go crazy watching here -- in the word as some other people have there it and -- at out at you why. He never flat out came out there. That I want to play for a black culture -- any day of the week over white coat and on -- throws around the country that is -- word being portrayed what you basically bet I think. If -- compare great correctly. Hey if all things are equal. I grab a plate for black -- in other words I don't think he'd rather play for you know some black coat without any resume whatsoever -- built -- But I think if they they -- versus stop caught what you mean what he meant or or or you don't eat it if you understand that but I didn't think that. This country we live in right now you know the Michael Irvin Michael Richard anytime anybody's been mentioned very is that it's funny. I was bullet then why haven't home and I am working not on the phone ever if I'm writing a lot of times I've got the period NFL elements some guy came on the audience said the -- pop but green because. You know what. Mike -- ought to be fighter right now for those comments ridiculous you know it was the other way the white commentator would get fired blah blah -- and they sit well. Page about that at all I thought we got it. In other words it's like at first worked at the quarterback these base and into freight -- Thank everybody afraid even talk about great now because they'll be viewed -- great if -- based face but the -- that flight to meet Larry Johnson to work more powerful. But I'll the other Lydia I heard a lot of black players over the years basically they would eat that which is all things are created equal I'd rather have a black vote.

Well while Peter my my only problem is he may have said that at some point interview but the clips that I heard he seemed to be saying he didn't like being told what to do. By any like coach he'd like to be asked Ed and and it seemed to be some.

Literally he can interrupt it -- they want thank you my impression because I would you know probably a bad thing to do it for me to watch this again like it clearer view of it but my person when he was pocket about that was. Day one basically he got off on the wrong foot with the her meal. And if it repealed all I want it -- it do from there on he what we get any attention to now I don't think you -- I'd -- very much for that thing but -- me you can't underestimate that -- the fact that. I mean Larry love filled with furcal I mean though EEL I get. We might eat it being one step in the process that and and that depth is that he really didn't like it the real work well.

He's I think it and you said you said it right maybe didn't elaborate centers like you have been better off by saying. Of all things were equal I'd rather have a coach that I can relate to war that I -- relate to war day they beat the kids they have to prevail because maybe that was that was underneath at all he just had a.

Maybe if -- said that I think things would have bet a lot clearer because I truly believe that that we think now you don't like a lot I I I will just repeat that. I have met a lot of players over the years it would -- part the -- but echoed hiring process they roll their eyes. Because they'd get used that on -- You know the black guy 40% better -- like Gary usually get the job palette changed a little bit over the years because I think with the exception of art shell out any green. I train every guy they've every black guy they put it would drop. And up with a winning record and an -- dedicate this. All really good is winning record I mean look at Tony dungy yet yet -- want in February or late January but that guy's got a ridiculous winning percentage recoup franchise now obviously players which we all know that but. Eight you know I think the one thing there weren't going to -- happened over the next few years and I truly believe it. Is that let certain known guy. Like what he meant okay -- know black coaches are going to have a better chance. It yet head coaching job then -- it either it even piper six years ago -- debate get feel like they're gonna get more the chance that.

Let's turn our attention to another controversy this week for the football team about eight miles from your house. And the way Michael Strahan handled himself this week I think was reprehensible.

Well I don't think it is good. Like I will also I mean -- have -- we have to make it judgment here about the first ball I believe that Michael street and what he bet Monday would absolutely totally fine. A 100% fine because everybody thought like go bird dog. And it's straight into what little leaguers -- I don't mind if they met at fault. Okay now like -- were not what they -- been you know very hands right -- I won't do it yet that would have been the end of the controversy right they're like that noted that he's been battle like that -- you know what it properly -- like the guy. Talk it out about in public but you know what. -- deserve it. A law and soul I I'd really like he would feel great and I mean I don't like the fact that he singled -- on the radio but you know what -- sequestered. Bite somebody everybody in the world he's the emperor has no -- what you want to say work mink --

Peter no problem with what he said on Monday. It was Wednesday.

I secured Spain your -- right but I mean it could be the daylight at its victory. That was more for the law I I I agree that that -- and should be taking on what they're -- I don't Kelly now he's -- bird but if he had no doubt about that you all he's doing it to order job. But you know having that that all happen at Netscape about that they put it over the apparent they you know what -- bright -- dog bit I won't do the it.

Peter how how woods Michael Strahan view in the locker room I don't want to get into his personal life and all the -- quality as wiped from the mistress and dollars. But how does the players in that locker room respond to Michael -- if at all

I think pretty well I mean I don't I don't think he's BA number one unquestioned leader of the team. I think maybe you've got a guy like O'Neal here was a lot of the younger players who live in that role little bit more but I think he's pretty well like what.

Very very big media savvy guy.

Kind of debate via the preacher in some way do you know I'd -- preaching at the prep a lot of but I understand what mistake Michael but I I think. That in the law is a locker room you don't win that when the game at around 8 it become an us versus them thing I mean. The giants right now viewed the -- is they edit the -- they'll be Michael straight in that.

Let's talk about what's happened on the field between these teams I know the giants that like their melting down last three games in a row but if they win this game on Sunday that means you'll still be undefeated in the NFC east. Do you think the giants have what it takes to beat the cowboys and so --

I do I -- cal always but I wouldn't be all right if the giants want. It's that it's the exact fighting game with -- a couple of important guy breathing short note you mean you're back from injury it's the it's the exact kind of game. There that give teams more fired up the usual it even if needed. And that's why I think the giants are going to come out play good game -- that really bugs me about this is that he liked it -- meaning mechanics are all screwed up we get the best thing for him this week is that there was the big controversy. And so heated that the fault it's our audience for our record in the bottom so. But those court in -- gone away you like any player like crap right now and they got to find a way to fix that but. Could they win that game but in New York absolutely crowd going to be out for blood -- you know they can get after world all hit a few times then I've I've not I don't think the giants are -- of -- at all now. You know I think if they lose this game and it's going to be very very hard for them who went into their -- four which is what it's going to take for them to get a wildcard spot in may be Korea or both. I I think if they win that game you're right they got a tech which is still in the division.

The patriots play host of the Detroit Lions here on Sunday afternoon it's a question we've asked many times over the last couple of years but I asked a lot more even this week. How that held as Matt Millen still have a job.

I think millet right now he's got the support the only guy that matters the immediate want William clay for the owner of this team not Greg Ellis than -- was -- built for you here -- want to make it new new start in the front office spare but the old man -- to keep Matt I think if they have a disaster. Which it looks like they're going to do right you think it the end of the year they're going to look at militants -- Matt what do you think it and it Matt that -- resign but if Matt they'll. Look if you want -- I don't resign I I think they take them up on the offer.

Peter you mentioned Tony Rommel earlier now we know Michael Irvin has his analysis of why Tony problems successful I wondered. Why do you think this guy has done so well in his -- introduction to the NFL.

He's very very simple E mobile he can complete after the Bob around not just get out of trouble he's extraordinarily confident he's smart. Any accurate pain. You know this guy's been quite first chance for two years and -- well I I -- this from the beginning I think you put on sodium that a ball effort career is over he's going to say you know I waited so long with -- local. I mean this is not woke up I think he's going to play great every week that there's -- no way shape form of book despite really does.

Who's going to replace Ernie accorsi running the giants franchise and is it possible. They'll take a run it's got the only.

You know I don't know the answer bet they have been so. -- well within that organization you know I think it's going to come out didn't John -- and even if you want more John Mara. And there's a lot of speculation that could be Chris Barrett you know one -- one of dwelling on that obviously can't brother but -- speculation around the organization is that it's this is probably wouldn't want a merit the general manager because everybody fire if you have to. So I don't know that the good question I think that I mean P -- obviously should be out any but he short list but I I'd I don't know that is then that's been really a well kept secret arabica.

And -- England we obviously have a lot of affection for a mediocre now what did you think of those savages. Defensive -- yesterday.

Net buried because you know they want fire a lot of fans want fired in Cleveland they -- think he's another pretender they want to get started on the next. I think -- 30 I think losing as they -- 38 enough and the other day. Really really what the discouraging thing that this Keane because what they think is that they thought they're making progress early I would pick it partner but obviously now they beat their back ground here.

And it you know -- Peter I don't understand how to -- before we let you go. The browns -- you think of another team and I felt that has blown more high draft picks safe from 99 at 2004 than the Cleveland Browns.

Oh well that Detroit line why it. Are out there now what -- here right at the exact.

That's a seven game series body every we're talking about attempt out we talk about Courtney brown William green. -- went --

I know yeah you're right you're right. It is 7080 series.
