Fred Mike Lupica it would make -- while what. -- Brady did was bad for the union bad for the National Football League and self serving somehow that's that's we're we're liars say this around here. -- let -- that wherever. There's that self serving so dark I way to ally in that regard not how -- wide. There -- -- there today. Are up out people is. They've got to -- -- do productive things to do with their time. Don't worry about what it agenda Tom Brady or the patriots or oh my -- and -- signing a a new deal. It bit and it seems to help. Does not help him and help the patriots. Yes if somebody just pointed out I was in the middle conversation with somebody on the phone right now from from one at NFL organization who makes the point that if teams are spreading to the salary cap. Then the high is just this large. And Brady takes less money what does that mean. Everybody else on the football team it's pretty simple more money right more money for Wes Welker but the little guys are so -- guys exactly. To me. I interviewed probably back to 2000 report of course thank god it didn't happen but remember what went with a -- like if you wouldn't let. Our guy Alex Rodriguez yeah topic let -- point. It comes to the Boston Red Sox and Matt and I don't think it. -- -- -- It's his career and his contract which site that is not what it carjacked. That that bit. But when you can't get involved in this successful people say it unions that as another example of the great line. Well all the body with the union. Start the start that -- that that is the piano that was the concerto. -- You know the only distasteful thing this whole thing about Tom Brady is that I look and he would say this Mark Sanchez is make him Mormon -- that that's a good team guy that Mark Sanchez. Yeah yeah. While I watch how the ball I threw away -- -- -- that we have to have our strange. We got to clean it all the times that the probably gonna get the frogs -- out of there in the lives and. And Jerry are moderate and are at it like that the one -- you know it is you're out there Robert floats and get to just constantly coming by. -- yeah Brady probably has one of those 20. -- do do you think that Sanchez do you think the jets are hopeless Mike. I I wrote a column today -- about the order the change because. That you keep your -- cliche you -- to -- an elephant in the room here because there's there's no sustaining a lot. The projects. And I I. An executive yes that what what -- yet. Brands except I don't know you know -- and that and the as -- -- with the problem with the yet and I. It starts at the top -- -- that they owners. Don't matter in sports I used the example that it would have been feeling the patriots in the New York Jack. And the problem for the jets hit their owner is going up against the two best -- -- there are in their sport. What's -- barricades in the LL stay -- And -- after the Louisville patriots in their own ambition and I think. That's all the other problem. That the jets I I I think that there I think this site has no clue is a classic example he's the classic example on. All the got a -- -- I was born on third base side. Was is Rex Ryan is that just a stay of excuse shouldn't -- any one year. It. -- yeah I mean I can't believe. That -- there -- manager John McCain in my don't want indicate so badly that he would say the -- will whatever terms of engagement you give me I'll accept. To me is that why that's so lame duck coaches I I was -- big Rex Ryan defender because you know I couldn't get -- that you AFC championship game. The weight -- put in the play with you know it you know you might seem like I'm here but -- it was -- -- outside character. And you know I know that you gathered daily talk show host standup comic -- and -- came here are. Public -- we didn't have one adult children whether that go that direction and then. Everybody wanted him gone after the output but -- game on Thanksgiving night when we get the chance to see -- fixes this isn't. What he lost that game even more -- yet -- but want answers Gerri. I can't see how does that symbolize and I'm not even sure anymore -- there is anything more than a glorified he's such a coordinator who got lucky in the first. What does surprise you with the jets somehow someway drafted anti -- is lord notion like distractions on the football team that. -- -- the tabloid treatment she got and and I imagine this -- that. She says well maybe it's time in the court was slow because of everything used on. And I think it gets upon the general manager and I want this can be -- it make it stop them on board that fired with the playoffs on the line I you know I -- that this. Distractions. I really want a guy -- distractions they're going to slow it out. A -- that the bad news is. He has a boyfriend good news is it's imaginary. Of the -- they don't have to worry about that. Jerry you know -- in -- OK if they get slowly when he gets in the throat you gotta think about a blow up doll -- you know I.
