    all they want you and we go to bed rest the morning. Julius Peppers will not be an -- Patriots -- And it will happen for all the reasons that you mentioned. Partly because of the pending contract situations of those other Patriot players partly because. New England would have to invest enormous sum of money in Julius Peppers . Part because it would take like habitation because of that I know the word on the street is let him go this second round pick that. Think that they got from Matt Cassel the 34 overall selection in -- that would seem to make sense but. There a couple of technicalities to point out first and foremost. The Carolina Panthers. Right now are not allowed. To trade Julius Peppers because he hit -- this franchise tender. When Matt Cassell signed his franchise tender. That gave the Patriots the right. To trade
    enormous sum of money that you're going to have to invest in Julius Peppers for starters you're going to talk about a deal that. Basically changes the dynamics of the salary short short in the locker room. When you've got pending deals coming up with Richard Seymour and Vince Wilfork. You're talking about a deal that. I think Woodson Julius Peppers . Is a great player but when he talked people -- believe -- he flashes it is always come through when it matters
    How assure you that Julius Peppers is not going to play the Patriots next year. 99 point 9% short while while.

    players they do a great job anyway. I'm I'm not sure. I Julius Peppers . Had a tremendous wonderfully scored. And does that mean you can't play football obviously look at his numbers guy at four and
    free agency and they haven't gone after the Albert Haynes worth the Julius Peppers would be -- category. Not the Fred -- nodding a terrific player. Great signing in Joey Galloway. You know Leigh Bodden . They they've. They're presenting teacher Sanders yeah Williams. You know I think for many Patriots fans. And and especially those. Who just work who have been looking for some reason why ballot checked it -- yet because what he did was wrong. And and -- Jerry's mind especially somehow this would justify.

And we gotta switch gears and go over to the patriots as they come off -- second pre season game of the year on Friday against Tennessee Titans and we welcome -- as we always do. Ought to patriot wanted to quarterback going patriots Tom Brady joins us. Tom what Stern's job to -- Greg Dickerson how you doing this morning.

I got a good morning and I know -- I -- on until Monday you talk about -- at -- really quite that I mean literally guys felt. Imagine attract college always dominate. On the patriots -- and who can and -- definitely.

Hey Tom as a guy honestly who grew up in San Francisco now you've been here long enough. I mean you can't help but get caught up in all this and you guys live here he read the paper every day it's now 38 games to go for the Red Sox you have -- season to get ready for by. You know how it is that's all anybody talked about right now.

Yes that's good that's -- depend you know took a lot of and I you know I think. It's such a great -- will put the subject diamond and obviously the Sox you know as they continue to you know comes -- it. And then passed to another and then there's -- better place to do you have to be here in -- about the extent so complicated it is because. Well when we take them to one another paper imaginary catapult himself. It's a good place to be right now.

Let's get back to football in general the first two pre season games to get to pre season games under your belt and a three plus weeks of training camp. I think the offenses develop a sore.

It's obviously two at first it -- For the first few weeks have but I have to have bad. I think a lot of people including ourselves doesn't -- as high expectations for ourselves that. -- the same time -- And I offense and developing an offense and I got in an identity for ourselves much of a process and adjustment steps along and that -- coach Belichick in distressing that -- to embargo were just that was another step then we'd like to go up there and perform better than we prefer warm. I don't know how to win and I think we still can't I can't -- a good ten outlook and a keyboard -- PM. At some point we're going to do it you know all the guys out on the field early and practiced together and and if you remember -- I think that would be exciting for the players have been excited food in other coaches religion evaluate. How about Clinton's going to go whatever -- trying to get out there together so. Number could go to the next couple pretending to improve our history -- Emeka. A lot of progress and there are different Olympic club both give the jets -- victory gives a good pitcher except they care about this coordinate. You know we're trying to -- to -- a total budget new pieces. Took a -- and -- place for everyone and it's so badly and Jim. You know social region particularly Nixon good improvement has.

Tom who's really. Open -- rise. So far of you talk about process and you sit here in the jets games three weeks away and he going to break camp and you get Carolina this group who's really opened her eyes of the new guys that now you've seen them on the field in your uniform.

But Agassi I didn't on -- blue -- you know I'd I'd take. -- it's different it's different. It's given offensively defensively defendant in a position -- of some -- that had been out. I would most closely with the receivers are condemned on a daily basis for the meetings promised to open all of those guys -- reluctant two -- a competitive situation. To try to make achievement to try to find so it would stroke determined that a good Japanese practiced everything he's worked extremely that you go to smart. And you don't have to incorporate at least he's -- much of patriot I play. And Todd Jones worked hard dog but he's just got out of -- last week it was first week of practice and the mini camps. He hit a bunch improvement that this would probably one -- you took such a good to -- before he took it slow down ability to Washington and kind of got some great physical ability as well and and use. I think she's really impressed people so it's a good group you know at the same time. Go ahead -- against the patriots content to have one appreciated -- system to exploit to sort of it's that's I was passing game and the execution that that you actually commit to -- it's going to think I'm not going to -- used to go to and to be.

How much is that are hurt your development of the Randy moss that he's been out the last couple weeks and you spent time of them obviously. During passing camp in the first few days a camp but -- comfortable. Do you feel with him right now how much more time would it take you to kind of develop that chemistry that you need.

hope for developing chemistry about the next six or seven years. Included great quarterback -- accommodations -- You look at more than an inning and and Peyton Manning and have been together for nine years together and actually -- enough to be an improvement and you did it take squad in the just because those. There's a lot of -- you need to do to get through those that there's a lot of adjustments -- come up and the clippers let it. Adaptation that nobody really need to make that doesn't submit conduct any mclemore I don't dinner and not a Toronto. No longer alive in the -- won't do and the kind of let him run on the kind of offense from yesterday. I don't know when you have guys out with the injuries. I would say this it's it's different if there's a rookie reality in injury news on the sideline. That is that not when they're really -- of our approach would open college football is an entirely different game. As opposed to adequate and he has got a bit of experience. And -- You know hopefully when he needed to come back and so practice for the and that -- you know he's much further down the road and a lot of the younger guys would be so you know we'll see -- looked out the -- decrepit rafter he got a great change up. You know those injuries happen in. Mr. got you know few weeks -- and not a bad nobody -- out there that look at.

I'm coming into a season like this -- six year. Come on I don't know about coming into this season as a starter and -- You know when you know one obviously -- know you're the starter coming into the season but. Coming into this season and coming into a season you aren't Super Bowl champs I know you guys done a good job -- it's a New Year year. But the fact that you aren't the defending champs. And coming into the season now it's so much experience you've had how does that play into any this at all for you.

They're true component to. -- most unlikely to ever attended training -- so -- that training camp -- Upon because you have to remember what happened last year -- and you remember that -- finished a little bit. I don't know are capable of finishing. About two and a training camp and it was good training camp after do you get that done. Do it. Is challenging a challenge for everybody because he's. Yeah reflect on the past you -- have -- things that didn't happen but it -- time you want to. You want to forget about what happened. It's entirely new team -- schedule you know they got an offseason it is new players and there's new -- things which are trying to do except. You know you reflect on the past little bit. In general from those mistakes I don't even in the most everyone was a group that's been the same thing because you know as everybody. It will evaluate -- that one -- Out potential argument that -- a minute Miami went -- in the -- communications. You'd be -- to think about it -- and Nazis and to try to condense on the game that we played at least seven years old attitude to challenge for us -- a challenge for brevity and I don't said the -- took -- team that Becker last year. I would include. Kind of and in and the combined not only -- to -- We set goals and and then I know really short term goals. But everybody knows who wanted to do.

Yet as I hear you guys talk more and more I think you mean Arnold speaking guys it seems harder to put a like last year the way it ended in moves in the game before the Super Bowl away than it is in a year when you have to put away the you're the defending champs. Like you guys it just seems to be there. That's sour taste the way it ended last year.

Yeah I think it is I'm -- I've been. We know you when you -- and then some bit of an actual W Arizona and if you look back at a game like. At bat against a coach someone I can come on come on on -- don't kill logic I can return to -- HM -- got you coop if you remember that really don't have to execute that to -- then. Maybe wasn't that important or maybe it wasn't maybe it was not a competitive it was. As you need to be delighted should you expect any new objectives are probably happen -- an open do you go for. And I was running W done I was pretty -- well -- considerably on the tour opened it. It would you know what happened last do number yeah. But hopefully we'd probably -- we can be more competitive against tobacco can totally a pitcher under division. -- ground and you know developed into routine that -- in the competitive against you know the chargers and the Broncos and tunes. Of that kind of caliber especially to -- another -- in almost challenge interest.

trading this training camp any different from camps in the past in terms of you're -- and limiting your throws.

I that it had been much more than live the last two weeks of how much darker and we can actually much taller and that. That I have been doing. I should count to ten million absent control about it last year and that we talked about it again this year and the they might -- him knowing that somebody told an element. -- at all in. A lot of action live on base. Just think. Yeah I'd much rather them but kind of that we took that and was tossed the ball out I was on them that they didn't it. I really want to make post post count magnitude bulldogs I think Marlins I think my body and -- 200. And over the years as you develop the man in the offseason program -- team. It -- go to you're going to build really community and so but he's throwing good arms don't go. You know that legacy would scratch on an immigrant to attack and consciousness to -- the most important to himself. -- didn't efficient economic potential but --

Tom you talk to a -- at all and you get anxious at all now that went into the third pre season

I haven't talked about it and so it was a -- contract negotiations it to its own day to challenge and -- for both sides of I don't look different about their regular suffer such acceptability everybody is about to let them back.

They seemingly everyone talks about how good of a camp Jabar Gaffney has had thus far what's impressed you about him.

But I Jabar he's been such a professional on the knees he's got to be a candidate for the media but when the wind started in -- economic. Great game against the jets can -- that. Good can't get situated -- let's go to caption read about it. For a touchdown in the -- most. Drogba can do everything any particular have been picked that. We're left off last year and he's smart people who condition and his inflexibility. I don't know. Any offense he's I think he's just said. Just -- well off parents. It's really can't he's got great man he's very -- element that took a lot of things that. The cat burglar can't revolution but a good decision that on the -- so. Nobody took over in Japan and and nobody deserves you know -- you -- so -- some opportunities just kept it -- particular agent. -- really screwed out of Turkey.

Army -- dead yet. At that that that well everybody at their brothers write about it and saying things I mean. It must be an anxious time in that sense I mean you know I got three daughters and it's it's you know it's just that tumble in.

Yeah yeah yeah. Oh.

Conceive that you had a rough on Friday going down on the tar -- time that's. Take that any day over over given birth but upon for all the stuff that is written and said it it's you know I know how close you I would if gambling in your sister's in. It's gotta be neat thing for your family that you're going to be I mean. People don't think people think of it at that level.

Yeah and I am in Oakland and I know that you wrecked right -- of course I -- my lease is not a past few weeks and -- establishing close comedienne. You know clearly sister isn't and -- parents and -- apparent I think everybody's anxious as well.

Will you take a couple of days off when it happens.

Yeah I don't I don't killed so armed. Yet there's there's. So much is dependent -- how many -- the -- become different about you know everyone has commitment I'm going to family and -- other team and I'm certainly going to you know -- and and -- ignorant and and try to beat us. Could approach.

Before the jets game points to make it you have no control over -- September ninth and got himself yeah.

You know. About the only -- good --

They speak any of famine last comment that goes up this early was your sister Nancy was taken my butt. In a a kick boxing class this year in the middle of another on right now.

She got Rasheed do an -- this morning and again and she she she wrote when that might have a sister. Assistant -- go to that program and I should move back California's community took it. Do you just continued on them right now at which at 2 O'Clock in the morning. Not a -- that definitely. -- you know you can whipped it works out. Challenge as we mentioned that you can -- sergeant and issues and so -- teammates and team. -- because and you broke two of -- done. I don't that few times and kick my.

She's a killer. I'm serious she is a killer but that she has a good I think it's a five we class she doesn't these people and they mean. It's a tough they do happen our party on in the deep kick boxing. And they really get into which he gets into Ramirez in the family you guys those -- serious man.

And as an assistant. She was. Can that step which should should earn him as a pitcher. -- that. So I try to emulate that in halves. Some of my mother.

So so in other words you got a couple little sisters who could stand up fortunate to get -- trouble

the -- or does nobody want to feel pretty good students cemetery -- they eat they don't want to go go -- so competitive and so athletic -- you always when I was just. I told him out -- route to his run around could expect to contend give some notice some -- data about popped until it over the road.

Qatar did you throw all your dealings off the human being have do you have a relationship with Kevin Garnett would you think about him coming to town. Oh.

I don't I don't know Kevin I'd never I've never met him on the I think kind of guy you -- connection -- knows him pretty well also reduces group about a seemed like quite a real fact and the skeptics commitment to go foreign blue flashes. To really happen to ray Allen -- group another class. True except in the tricks in the game to compete and then and then -- else we really good mood.

We joke around him because Greg Dickerson of course is married to the Celtics in his career -- great way. And no one's happier than him and Kevin Garnett to hear you talking about Kevin Garnett. He speechless right now he doesn't -- giant smile on my face comic does. I am. I'm completely speechless right.

You suddenly -- came out. But a lot of other candidates -- you can score -- particular 11.

12 -- and came in when he was 18 this disease -- 12 years yeah 12 years in the NBA you're right and still young got these same age you.

I I I almost over the garden the more time. It was -- much -- making him. It used to be. And the coach at.

It's going to be tough ticket Tom but I need you might -- we get into the communities I'm going to try to commission actually way up but you know my nose bleeds. They Tom thanks for the time and bull will talk to next week you have a great camp we'll see you well we'll see this week than Foxboro. I Thompson appreciated that Tom Brady quarterback of the doing the patriots and unabashed fan of Boston's
