Joe Theismann

Welcome back -- Kalla had a lot of free form Friday Joe buys an in studio the steam the -- along -- side. Stays up in his days Bob Evans Bob Bennett who died today that the triple or hot sausage heart attacks special stint with peppery but he's got those natural -- and -- granola -- you -- called Barbara -- yeah. And the -- talks or at least you relax and let everybody that we want to say eligible by -- questions you read into the heart attack national will to don't -- on the steps that there which little granola and often do that is totally hysterical with eat out in hopkinton robitaille --

I'd choate told Eisner want to make favorite player of all time gosh great -- your voice thank you. You know -- big Redskins in you know Eric back in the book you know what -- come across. It would those those simple boy is you know what you guys -- women down there back in the 80s in --

long time ago we were weighted down there.

Buying time which you've got to -- 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 -- is this is recipe you should know that did go beat -- of course. Hello Mario Mario big ironic that did the voice at all exhaust obviously well armed and he's Natalia is on the you don't -- psychic gets you talked about. At all if that's a good that those who really good old days where you would appoint Gartner group -- I'll go that I have a public comments beaver like I don't -- America. I guess is he's got some stuff volume rather off.

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

All which Euro I don't know what's worse the -- mouthful the Osce. All the spectators did you have as your luggage while it is depending upon whose plane demanded that.

Major the major question though is whether you can beyond dancing were.

I am not I -- I was with Jerry rice last week out in San Francisco we were doing some things together Jerome minister and I were doing some stuff. And I I told my super slide my living daylights out -- for doing. I really do. Secondly there's no way on God's green earth that I'm going to wind and -- I saw him after he did it and the commitment they've it's like two months I don't it is a hard thing they've ever realize when they got into 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 -- 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 would

good air problematic Peter joke great here you wear it as already into a computer it's not just out of Rhode Island guinier you -- to -- general morning early in our view thank you I watched you when I was grown up. A -- by the web question and dissecting it I took pictures from the Joe buys now from ESP and Joe pies and at notre day. Most -- Don't get better but blow smoke here. Your left middle you've got now we're back -- I cover my year's notice that does get these you know doctor -- they all it was round the edges on that's.

Well -- judges -- take someone's doing you know college days in boats stayed mute your pro days that Washington can you compare them today outlook Pia collagen pro quarterbacks and out there protecting the quarterback a lot more. Nowadays I noted that the court -- the monument but.

And he got her radio down brother -- euphoria much but he's you know the drill.

Yeah I know the truth to I just wanted the role is it is he getting. Politically ridiculous the way they're protecting quarterback nowadays you -- days specter notes Damon.

everything 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 of 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 banister they just touched a 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 -- guy it shouldn't be a 15 yard automatic first down because in the past situation. Defensive linemen linebackers are going to get full of their flailing trying to knock the ball down arm in the -- they're going to tap somebody. If you hit -- knock them down give on the 15 there is any more vulnerable. Position that a player gets into in football that when a kicker is helplessly hung up in the area right and they protect them in two -- but yet a quarterback you breathe on wrong and they're 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 rideau who builds the helmet has -- wonderful job continuing to drive by and research which you're gonna have collisions if you have collision you're gonna have head 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 it has improved the symposium what did you dispute this ouija -- is an important step and an end it here these are the -- Roger -- to me. Has people would wonder and say -- everything is so great in football what else can you do. While Roger is it is addressing issues that are very relevant to today's game. And and is dealing with the might begin to 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 reverently about the macho mentality about especially concussions and I've -- related to be mostly you don't only your teammates you can't. See an injury you know sometimes it's hard to go up currency and look Marty Murray had spinning whoever. Guys guys just are hesitant to let their teammates.

They are -- right and and 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 -- 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 and our allies are a lot more brains gives a lot of things that are done that we did have available from -- technological standpoint. Back in the 70s and 80s. You that being in the head. They literally held up fingers right if you if you guessed right in many times it was a guest you know one sort of obvious so they're not going to put that up right three is hard to do because she got to put your thumb over your pinky that's not to do. So you hope you guess the number two in get 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 of the second place. Woke up with a about a minute to go in the half and thought that it was the next play. I -- 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 of ever had -- the second half played second and you probably should not have Bristol we know about -- today I had a great group I would not have been allowed back in the game probably but it but that's good what they're doing the injuries are good.

Oisin now -- and situated good morning Roy.

good morning that's been just put my question. Are really know why he -- when you'll beat the dolphins bin step forward and get a guy also will take -- put my area as an analyst on PB BP Craig -- thank you. Are my question dealers are on the dolphins fan and I'd have to understand what they're doing down there has been there removing -- Offensive players trading for the patriots -- also went. Also there have -- moves on the -- to explain all of terrific computer boat 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 welts who really Wes is is a 46 guy was their league receiver. He's five foot nine Gary -- 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 -- that -- 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 that he was only 60% pass I felt like he should have been better. Is footwork is something that they're working on in Cleveland and he's got you know he isn't you know he's the heir apparent but he -- of the job and Charlie Frye. Is one of those frightful individuals -- to -- your leader. I -- to -- plate 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.

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

Yeah idealized -- I spent I was with Brett not to want Ameritech had 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 -- I asked him that same thing white coming back he said because I still believe I can play. I believe he can play. Last year they started three rookie offensive lineman 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 they when he threw 29 interceptions. It's not the responsibility of the players to leave the game. We saw with Jerry rice who went on and -- we saw with Joe Montana who left San Francisco and went on. To -- Kansas City so with Johnny unitas when he left Baltimore went to San Diego Joan name it from two jets 2 LA. We don't want to give the game up. 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 -- like leaves in 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 -- they're been an issue with Aaron Rodgers air 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 peak employed. Signing Green -- it. Patty let an icon ago 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 bread agrees to go. Off into the science and a ride away in a mutually agreeable way if Brett says may only keep on playing -- he talked about being trade. No Carolina it was a play that you know he considerably -- he's upset as all get out the dating get rainy mom. And it's not like to have. A Steve young waiting in the wings like they have served sisco number charges not be close to -- we have 32 teams in the national football Lee your hard pressed -- Six that you believe can win a championship I mean look at the at Trent green. Is going to Miami and Trent concussion issue right also age issue. I mean he's been around you know look at these guys that played -- we're starting to see the influx of Philip Rivers the Jason Campbell's the Tony Ramos. The the of these of the young guys Vince young's these are the guys that are coming in now they're 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 -- one of the dinosaurs -- another one that'll eventually work their way out of the game Dave's on the cellphone David extra -- buys.

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

Yeah that's right.

And he was so often for the reds in the Sudanese call -- not. I haven't budget veto to stop -- and organic and yet but one I have to but in my own --

Well you know what you can drive from South -- can't really easily and of course the college football Hall of Fame is located -- in Indiana as well. And a Notre Dame week and 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 to Nebraska is you know BC appear in the BC's beaten Notre -- way too -- from my blood not a I anguish to wasting of the 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 -- the whole subway -- of -- round tradition that some blues tradition you know there aren't but even how many universal is how many university is have had presidents. You know play characters in a movie how many movies have been made about other universities Notre Dame is always carried a mystique about it uniqueness to it. And it's great to see that you know Charlie Weis has got -- 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 picket on radio little because they're really want to be successful -- hope. The areas worries you know Lackey a little bit will continue improving get better and better and be the player that everybody anticipates that he can be but Jimmy close in the young kid at a California is this sort of heir apparent out there and sell -- impairment quarterback and yet and at a Tennessee and and so now you know you've got you've got the unknowns in south -- was going to be -- he opens going to look like. So there's there's questions -- at Boston's -- next.

They generate on -- that. Jerry -- I'm from the jury -- about Jerry -- a lot of them off from the big giant and I want to kick your analysis on command economy. Ethiopia -- turner around it's of more coaching aspect I. He practical good luck club the past statement that they get Jack and -- it with 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. -- which huge and Brandon Jacobs is not that kind of a back he's a big -- he's not a Tiki Barber type -- back Eli has to improve his accuracy the shortstop that gets away from every now and then bothers -- 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 -- the fans are looking at two televisions look at that you humid teammates want to see most TV you have speak for that on the other side of you know haven't played the position. People were sort of 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 -- we -- as a linebacker you look at say okay we got out we gotta he's done. You know yet is in Charlestown Anthony your next.

good morning -- make the talk yep thank you I get so the big bit of your 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 all of last year I love what Bill Parcells that -- the -- which he left -- Very good with a very good way but what I want to get to it -- Chia when he just passed to tight because when you look at that New Orleans game game. I think painted cut out 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 -- we know what the public will want to do it -- they work bomb. They just know that they were going to change aiding it was like Parcells was predictable flight we know we but it.

Sometimes sometimes you become predictable because of the talent level that cabinet 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 contending team and -- If Tony doesn't basically -- 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 -- back in football he said it's good to be king. And that was bill's 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 -- case. Jerry trumped his rule by signing TO right and and I think. You know I think -- kingdom. Well that -- 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 die on the sideline I care about bill lot of tremendous respect for. As a coach as a person the he's done a magnificent job how many guys have taken an organization. Four different organizations and taken 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 head coaches. And trust their offense and defense to coordinators sometimes you have the wrong Courtney Jackson. Jacksonville's with the fourth coordinator five years and you can't have that kind of instability in trying to be success

breads and data brad really -- last -- phone call question.

Actually I guys don't. Joe it's -- pleasure you -- grown -- eight but manly outlawed the local and Mike big questions view is why isn't our market all of -- that's bothering I don't know what.

Wow 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 -- sketches. They look at Gallic Lynn Swann was 333 gets into the hall -- I have. For -- little factor. I would real it's highlight reel and it's also writers remember 39 writers vote through if they like Q you -- in if they don't like you don't and and and I have always -- always wondered I would love for. The Hall of Fame al hitters. 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 rule and they're going to influence 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 cut in the professional football Hall of Fame. Without art month the Washington Redskins would not have had near the success John -- was a great runner. Art -- kept drives alive made big place was a force to reckon and Steve you bring up a 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 -- into the Hall of Fame. They have this big promotional book put together yes they they sell themselves to the comedians and hide 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 Mark the world championship ring. At a football player wears something that is not subjective at all now we -- we wish I just sums are just assumed art monk was that monitored when when you know that I not -- actress over the last four years he's mean he's been on the ballot it. Ridiculous I want to I'd like to hear I love to try and listened to explanations from the guys that have -- personalities they want now is -- best guys weren't.

A -- the world 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 avid art 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 avid -- 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 shrunk by 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 when I came to Foxboro. How long did -- go from the boot to the -- all I guess having.
