Joe Theismann

Welcome back Dennis and Callahan out of free form Friday joke -- in studio the steam -- on the night. Stays up in his days Bob Evans Bob Bennett who died today that the triple or hot sausage heart attacks special stint with that -- but he's got those natural I heard all the arsenal bought got a granola bars you gotta chase -- it's called Barbara Brockman does yeah. I don't -- crude Tomas. -- you relax and -- everybody that we want to say eligible by announcement questions you go ahead and do the heart attack credential I will too don't -- on the steps that there which little -- often do that is hysterical with eat out -- hopkinton robitaille buys.

I'd joke -- want to -- favorite player of all time gosh great deep in your voice thank you. You know -- I'm a big Redskins in you know -- back in the book you know like I come across. It would those those simple board is you know what you guys -- down there back in the 80s you know.

I along time ago we were weighted down there.

Buying time which he's got a great team you know I was looking I came across some pretty it's in what about new basketball without all the while.

New basketball. That's something that's one of those things that stays sort of close to the best it is this is recipe you should know it did go beat -- of course. Hello Mario Mario big ironic that did the voice at all exhaust obviously well aren't and you know millions on the -- I like it gets you talked about. At all if that's a good that those who really good old days refute a point guard out of I'll go that I have a public comments even like I didn't have -- I guess is he's got some stuff -- off.

But we we've agreed to leave a -- that's exactly it. Big basketball stories really about about well I think you're spectator jumble our.

Lohse Euro I don't know what's worse the Sox -- mouthful the Osce. All the spectators that -- game while it is depending upon who's playing it was a mandate that.

Other major the major question though it went you can beyond it in the.

I am not I -- I was with Jerry rice last week out in San Francisco we were doing some things together Jerome Bettis -- and I were doing some stuff. And I I told my super slide my living daylights -- for doing. I really do. Secondly there's no way on God's green earth that I'm gonna wind and going -- I saw him after he did and the commitment they've it's like two months I don't it is hard I think they never realize when they got into it how difficult that was. But -- and you have to respect that the nature of the athlete. All right I made the commitment I'm doing this thing around seeing all the way through till the end talk about fear of failure oh lord and and you know I would fail before ever started -- you know there's the reality of life also but

IP good -- problematic -- joke great here you wear it as already into a computer snot -- out of Rhode Island guinier you -- 2 plus 1 morning early in our view thank you I watched you when I was growing up. -- a -- by the -- question -- it I took pictures from the Joe buys them now from ESP you know and Joe pies and at Notre Dame. Most -- Don't get better but blow smoke here. Your left middle you've -- now we're back in the cover my years' notice I'm that does get these you know doctor -- they all it was around the edges on that's.

Well point -- what you take someone's doing you know college days in -- they -- your pro days -- Washington can you compare them today book -- college and pro quarterbacks and out there protecting the quarterback a lot more. Nowadays I notice that the quarterbacks the monument but.

Eddie gotta turn on the radio down brother are not much easier for him much but he's you know the drill.

Yeah I Notre Dame just what are the role is it is -- getting. Politically ridiculous the way they're protecting quarterback nowadays you did -- days spectrum Notre -- in.

I'd -- think it's ridiculous when it comes to protecting an athlete I don't think you today is I think there are certain rules for example in professional football. That crossed the line -- protection for example a 15 yard roughing the quarterback penalty when a guy jumps in and just perhaps a helmet right you know if they just touch the face -- they just touched helmet. A 15 yard penalty I've always believed this that I've I've talked to the commissioner about it I've talked to the competition committee about it they don't like my suggestion I really don't care. What I think they ought to do with certain penalties regarding the quarterback is treat them like you do with the kicker. There's a five yard running into the kicker penalty and a 15 yard roughing the kicker there should be the same thing for quarterbacks there are certain offenses when you just happen guy it shouldn't be a 15 yard automatic first down because in the past situation. Defensive lineman linebackers are going to get -- of their flailing trying to knock the ball down arm in the -- they're going to have somebody. If you hit on the -- knock them down give on the 15 there is any more vulnerable. Position that a player gets into in football that want to kicker is helplessly hung up in the area right and they protect them in two waste but yet a quarterback you breathe on wrong and they -- thrown at 15 I think that that part of the protection is wrong. We have a lot of things regarding concussions now. And I and I believe that -- who -- the -- has done a wonderful job continuing to drive -- research which you gonna have collisions if you have collision you're gonna have had injuries. That's just the way it is and and they do a terrific job as well as they can preventing it but. I don't think it's ever going to go away but certainly hit it has improved the symposium what did you dispute this ouija board -- is an important step and it and it here these are the you know Roger -- dealt to me. Has people would wonder in saying that everything is so great in football what else can you do. While Roger -- it is addressing issues that are very relevant to today's game. And and is dealing with the might -- very positive way I really liked the way he is providing leadership for the national football.

We talk and they take the the mentality that the guys haven't -- about the macho mentality about especially concussions and I've I've related to be mostly you don't only your teammates down and you can't. See an injury you know sometimes it's hard to go up currency and -- Marty Murray had spinning whoever. Guys guys just are hesitant to let their teammates.

They are you're right and and that's that's would make you a great teammate that's what makes you great athlete but it it's even different today. There's an economic concern that and that's tied to the athletes today that we didn't have before you see -- The the concussions today in the head injuries today guys are protected a bit more there's more cease cancers more demoralized there's a lot more brains gives a lot of things they're done that we did have a available from the technological standpoint. Back in the 70s and 80s. You've got beaned in the head. They literally held up fingers right if you if you guessed right in many times it was again -- you know one sort of obvious so they're not going to put that -- right three is hard to do because she got to put your thumb over your -- that's not to do. So you hope you -- the number two in get a 5050 chance on back in the game and hoping your head would clear. I can tell you that I I believe in my heart of hearts I do suffer from post concussion syndrome. There are times when I cannot remember thing. There are other times when it's as clear as a bell now you could call the aging process I think it has to do with some of the shots that I've taken. I lost -- entire. Three cool half of a football game in in Calgary Canada when I played at the art -- get knocked out in the second place. Woke up with a about a minute to go in the half and -- that it was the next play. I mean I was completely out on this I looked at the film I was out before he hit the ground. I was in -- days on the bench. And I woke up and I went back and had won the best chance -- ever had -- the second half played the second you probably should not have -- all we know about -- today I had a great group I would not have been allowed back in the game probably but -- but that's good -- they're doing the injuries are good.

now -- instead to a good morning Roy.

Good morning that's been just put my question. Are -- really know why he did when you'll he opens been to all and -- because also we're like became put my area as an analyst on PB BP Craig -- thank -- Are my equipment dealers -- dolphins fan and I'd have to understand what they're doing down there has been there removing -- spirit. Offensive players trading for the patriots select a superb also went. Also feel a -- moves on the draft to to explain or. Terrific -- the boat you know what what they're trying they're.

Idea a year quick capsule version I think cam Cameron like any coach is coming in and trying to build an organization that he sees in his vision. First of all when they drafted Ted Ginn junior they got him because Wesley -- who really Wes is it's a 46 guy was their league receiver. He's five foot nine -- maybe but he served a specific rolled out there. A Chris chambers really wasn't utilized I think to his potential. They're starting to build that franchise over their biggest problems actually going to be on the defensive side -- they're -- real world and they may have a year or so left there. But can't watch succumbing to build his way I did not have a problem with the Miami Dolphins not taking Brady Quinn in the six spot I felt like they had other needs Brady Quinn has a chance to be something very special my biggest issue with him was his accuracy. I didn't care for the fact it is only 60% pass I felt like he should have been better. His footwork is something that the working on in Cleveland and he's got you know he isn't you know -- but he has of the job and Charlie -- Is one of those frightful individuals -- to -- your leader. I don't play but Miami is trying to find the players that they want to fit into their system. I don't have a problem with the way they drafted and I don't have a problem with the trees that they've made because it's a direction camp wants to go.

is down at Providence, Rhode Island Richard Nixon jail I do -- I. Question about green -- People you know equipment like -- are coming back mean he's just hang it up like you know. It believe that really you -- hank you'd think Brett should have come back he think he should've retired in the EC. You know making that might have an impact for green Bay's.

Yeah I do -- I spent I was with Brett not to one bad effect at a great time at brits got to had a chance to sing with Tim McGraw. Once stages and with timmons and ages but a fabulous performer he has incredible but. Having the conversation I had with brad I asked him that same thing -- coming back he said because I still believe I can play. I believe he can play. Last year they started three rookie offensive -- in front of so he knows that this year's offensive line will be better he had a better year than he did the two years before that when he threw 29 interceptions. It's not the responsibility of the players to lead the game. We saw with Jerry rice who went on and -- we saw with Joe Montana left San Francisco and went on. To -- Kansas City saw with Johnny unitas when he left Baltimore went to San Diego Joan name it from end to jets 2 LA. We don't want to give the game -- And I would and that's the kind of guy you want point you want to guy who loves the game has a passion for the game has nothing do with economics for Brett. He's got more money however -- ticket pilot up and burn at like leaves -- it wouldn't matter. He loves the game he feels like he can contribute. The task falls in the hands of the organization. To say it's time for us to move want they're been an issue with -- Rogers is coming up their quarterback they drafted of the future three years ago. He's going to be at the end of the contract soon. They don't know -- employed. Signing Green Bay -- let an icon ego that's that's one that great challenges for an organization had a of the Green Bay Packers say to Brett -- Brett. Thank you very much but we want you want unless -- agrees to go. Off into the sunset ride away in a mutually agreeable way if Brett says they only keep on playing you know he talked about being trade. No Carolina it was a play that you know he considerably trade he's upset is all get out the dating get rainy mom. And it's not like they have. A Steve young waiting in the wings like they have served sisco in order -- not even close towards we have 32 teams in the National Football League your hard pressed to find. Six that you believe can win a championship -- I mean look at the at Trent green. Is going to Miami and Trent concussion issue you know right also age issue. I mean he's been around you know look at these guys that played longer we're starting to see the influx of Philip Rivers the Jason Campbell's the Tony Romo is. The the of these of the young guys Vince young's these are the guys that are coming in now that are going to have to make a name for themselves. And be able to carry the torch of the quarterback position. We need this transition you know Brett one of the dinosaurs -- other ones that'll eventually work their way out of the game Dave's on the cellphone David extra Joe finds.

Did you hear actually you'd spent a mine UN might have probably not have a lot common.

Yeah that's right.

And he was so often for the reds in this call and not. I haven't budget you know to stop there and organic -- yet but when I have to but my autumn of that picked.

Well you know what you can drive -- he can't really easily and of course the college football Hall of Fame is located sellout in Indiana as well. And a Notre Dame weekend I know that college campuses all around the country have fabulous weekend but. There's something special about it Notre Dame weekend the university itself the buildings the atmosphere it's really a part of college football tradition. And it's funny all the big you know the Michigan the Nebraska is you know BC appear in the BC's beaten Notre -- way too many from my blood not a I -- wasting and I honestly I -- away when I see that but. A lot of credit to the program but it's the -- what what is that about Notre -- subway -- finger that -- round tradition that fumble that was tradition you know there aren't but even how many universal -- university is have had president's. You know play characters in a movie how many movies have been made about other universities Notre Dame has always carried a mystique about it uniqueness to it. And it's great to see that you know Charlie Weis has got to -- back in the right direction this will be a very big year for him because having Brady moved on. And in legacy up on the pick and on Brady little because they're really want to be success -- hope. The areas worries you know lacking a little bit will continue improving it better better and be the player that everybody anticipates that he can be but -- in the young kid out of California is this sort of heir apparent out there itself from -- quarterback and yet and at Tennessee and and so now you know you've got you've got the unknowns in south -- I was going to be what's he opens going to look like. So there's there's questions Scots at Boston's next.

They generate on greats yet. Terry look I'm I'm from that jury there about Jerry -- of them off from the big giant and I want to kick your analysis on line and it. Ethiopia -- around it's more coaching aspect I. He practical good luck club the past statement that they get Jack and -- that it would is which is you know like bill.

I think they're frustrated Scott simply because the expectations were so great when -- went to New York. And S and this is something Ely chose to do we want to go to sandy and we wanted to go to New York he wanted to play for the New York Giants. And he's there. The problem is is unless you have players around you it's very difficult I think the lawsuit Tiki Barber's going to be monumental in New York I think his contribution to what they get offensively. A -- huge and Brandon Jacobs is not that kind of a back he's a big bruiser he's not a Tiki Barber type -- back Ely has to improve his accuracy. On the shortstop that gets away from every now and then -- I'm. I'm not a big fan of his body language when things go well I think it's a quarterback you have to. No matter what happens you have to feel like nothing's going wrong and could everybody's looking matches fans are looking at two -- look at -- you -- teammates want to see the STU you can speak for that on the other side of you know haven't played the position. People were sort look at me as a teammate you know if a quarterback shoulders -- sloop slumped down at any bows his head in his in discussed.

Will coast we are as a linebacker you look at -- okay we gotta we gotta he's done. You know yet is it Charlestown Anthony your next.

They could more at George Mason talked yet thank you I get so the big bit of -- does show up being a cowboy fan.

Well you know what you know that makes me feel good because of I give you a reason to hate me that I did my job right

listen not alt last year I love what Bill Parcells that but the cup which he left -- Very good with a very good way but what I want to get to a slash Chia went he'd just -- is tight because when you look at that New Orleans game. I think -- to -- up late book and then I'm reading on the web site that dot. What do the Detroit Lions players like hey we just watch the New Orleans game we know what the public will wanna do it -- they work bomb. They just know that they were going to change -- Parcells was predictable flight we know we but it.

Sometimes sometimes you become predictable because of the talent level that you have a team you're limited beat you don't want to expose certain people -- have to play certain things. In the case -- Bill Parcells. Not enough credit is given to bill for the job he did building Dallas back to late I think a contending team and -- If Tony doesn't basically muffed that kick that they could be in the NFC championship that could be in the Super Bowl I mean they're that talented. I really feel like what happened down in Dallas was. I remember a quote when -- took over four years ago with the Dallas Cowboys. It was like the next to last paragraph in an article I was reading and it talked about Bill Parcells being back in football he said it's good to be king. And that was bills domain that's why the white coaches go back as they can rule that world they rule the world and society. So they go back to the world that they can rule with an iron fist. In bill's case. Jerry trumped his rule by signing TO right and and I think. You know I think -- kingdom. Wound -- a wall breakdown and it didn't sit well with and I believe that's why he left. Also physically have always been concerned about Bill Parcells for the last five or six years. I would not want to see him -- on the sideline I care about bill lot of tremendous respect for. As a coach as a person -- he's done a magnificent job how many guys have taken an organization. Four different organizations and take them to a high quality level of performance. Nobody that's what makes him very unique but yet it was I don't think he's past his time and also had coaches. And trust their offense and defense to coordinators sometimes you have the wrong coordinate Jackson. Jacksonville's head with the fourth coordinator in five years and you can't have that kind of instability in trying to be success.

breads and -- brad really -- last full call question.

Actually I guys don't. Joe it's -- pleasure you my favorite player growing outside -- but -- outlawed the whole -- Mike big questions view is why isn't our market all of Spain that's bothering me out a lot.

Wow you don't get me started on this one for the last three years I've been on somewhat of a soapbox about art. If you look where art is ranked in receivers on the east third all time 900 plus catches. They look at a guy like Lynn Swann was 333 gets into the Hall of Fame. I I have. For -- a little factor. I would real it's highlight reel and it's also writers remember 39 writers vote for if they like Q you get in if they don't like you don't and and and I have always I always wondered I would love for. The Hall of Fame ballot -- To explain to me what they're criteria is for the whole thing I don't believe there is one. I believe it's a group of guys that sit around and they are maybe five or six guys in that room that can influence votes. If they tell you that it doesn't happen their line because anytime you get 40 people together. They're going to be certain people that take over room and they're getting influenced you. War may be someone said something to someone. 15 years ago and they are holding a grudge against them for whatever the motivation is certain people have been kept out for the light and I cannot figure out why art monk is not in the cup in the professional football Hall of Fame. Without art -- the Washington Redskins would not have had near the success John riggins was a great runner. Art monk kept drives alive made big place was a force to reckon and Steve you bring up -- great point. There's no documented highlight film so that you can run it over and over over right and to be honest with you when you think about guys that get into the Hall of Fame. They have this big promotional book put together yes they they sell themselves to the comedians and -- they hire people who do would want you get you campaign that's why in and this. I respect any and all men that are in the professional football Hall of Fame. But that is a subjective vote by a group of people about what they think you are the world championship ring. At a football player wears something that is not subjective at all now we are we wish I just sums are just assumed art monk was that monitored when when you know that I -- actress over the last four years he's having he's been on the ballot it. Ridiculous I I want to I'd like to hear I love to try and listen to explanations from the guys that have -- personalities they want now is Greg best guys weren't.

A -- overrule that you get out of here why are you in Boston issued at the champions tour event in concord at the shot it right on behalf of one of the tournament sponsors -- dark what's element primal quest for your residence at.

And make sure that if there is a problem can be treated I take the drug have a dark. It was -- and believe -- I want I want you to go to your doctor and find out if there's a prescription that you can take it is suited for you let the doctor tell you what to take that's with the doctors did for me. I have found that it has -- my prostate and it gives me a chance to have a better life. Heck why should you be balance in life by having to go to the bathroom all the time. My whole life revolved around the closeness of proximity to a bathroom. And it shouldn't happen but I came to Foxboro.
