" Back you're the big show were alive down here at Gillette stadium -- media art each -- every -- patriots Monday oversized joins us. Brought to you by Camden visit staples check out there wide selection of Kaman can't image class copiers including the MF 4150 without that 9600 DPI. Commerce visit your local staples today. We enjoyed a bye week but for over it was a weekend of work if you work tonight. He joins us live on the line right now April where our."

" I am doing great guys -- know I'd better permission I get a why we tonight I don't have to work tonight."

" Well oh what happened a year out of this is not doing a sudden. As part of new big contracts."

" everybody come down first second okay. I know it's shock -- I would take a week off but it's the bye week from. For many of them hit it big time I did I need to that you don't heal up but it worked really hard and -- take another by a week next week -- so far away."

" what is ours will have a bad back McNair all the money is never over I like your style that but I really like yours."

" They guys could be if you -- convince them you don't have to do it but still very important to get something going you know"

" I as I said I'd like your style who broad based my at a poker about."

" Bug -- Bibby like a back up the Tom Brady talked to evacuate everybody could do that."

" world -- they were taken time off double in the back yet. That's well it surprised me ready when we gonna do it but it's a reinforcement. I want to. What what did you see -- this weekend that that the interest is certainly that game last night was. What's fascinating giants in the and Dallas Pittsburgh struggling against -- what would interest -- this week."

" I think I think Dallas was the most impressive to me yesterday -- the meadowlands implant a way that Tony Romo did it. And everybody here in New York is just all over -- land rightfully so you see the difference of the two quarterbacks it's so apparent Q when you watch the game and you -- so well they play -- giant it's -- is not great but the fact they can men and kind of beat him up pretty good and Terrell Owens had a great game that was pretty impressive to me last night game I thought that San Diego went in. -- it felt that it that it over the last -- though want to play today because the embarrassment that took place last week in Minnesota from quarterbacks employment. You know -- management fixed interceptions but they still had a chance to win beat David your boy Adam Vinatieri missed between what point three -- Go all the with the game what is going on you know world are right when he's been like."

" Nine in authority says good the period just got rid of of -- that's what it says sentences do you sense that."

" That's quality coaching and that's quality player assessment right nobody going to benefit patriots --"

" It at that at Dallas you surprised at Doral -- single man coverage that many times."

" No not really -- because these states spend all of their -- because coordinator here was on the step with Jim Johnson and in Philadelphia what they do love the -- it still loved. You know try to confuse quarterbacks -- put guys one on one now this Sam Madison but -- Miami saw probably that very smart and then west the last touchdown they had Gibril Wilson safety for quite allies trying to cover himself. Somebody made a mistake somewhere along the line and you know Tony Romo Australia you know he's not you know we're -- and Tom Brady are yet -- or none of these where Ben Roethlisberger Asian leaders noticeable boy just before the start mentioning any. Given those names but -- is is is impressive that there is right now you know outside at all an outside of Payton about Babin and these really immediate seven with the exception that buffalo game which it through five receptions I -- he -- but also."

" We're talking about this earlier in the show what I thought the giants pass -- would be more effectively as you've got to give rubble credit for that as he constantly. Was able to break away from that pressure."

" He does an and they do have their very -- and I'm sure today bill budget -- is that our policy that they played dust for this year I would think that -- is the most balance the defense where they do have a reasonably good besides about a great defense to mount the 30 -- the backs right going to be frightened about what they do have a pretty good pass rush not -- linebackers pretty fast there. But the offense -- that we score on you and we saw that you know in -- in the game against the Dallas Cowboys the pitch it's played but. -- they're clearly in my eyes the class. Obviously they're better than now I believe but Green -- you'll find that out a couple weeks of -- goes and visits them but I think period there the odds on favorite right now I get to the superbowl for the NC."

" Over to tell the difference between them of the giants is that when rolled all improvise as he makes things happen -- when Manny has to improvise he can't make things happen."

" That's right here right Steven he's doubt for a Michael -- last week that that. What are you most worried about when you play cowboys is Terrell Owens is that you know Barbara Jones is is not on on terrified. You know that -- Ramos could get out of pocket -- make up an active happened nickel plate things that you. He can draw on -- in the playbook and let things that happened yesterday watching the browns in Pittsburgh Steelers would sit there watching -- where two hour Darcy to see that right there. One one Ben Roethlisberger are property and -- budget that's on the playbook automatic coach that. You know that's what makes a player of bands caliber of what he's playing at the top of the game the player that he is because I'm not a lot of players believe or not a lot of players in this league at that position. Can do things like that that are going to be positive for their team."

" That I actually here you yesterday move Pittsburg up ahead of the colts and your road you'll apologize."

" You did you did a very -- set that was a difficult or gone through injuries right now no doubt Clark know while Marvin Harrison it's it's the different team as we found out last night I still think they're going to be the team that -- going to have to be nit championship game. Typically been going to have too much offense or Pittsburgh Evelyn to play each other in the -- separate those two teams will meet. And you don't know it'll be best throughout the rest -- garbage that's out there but I just think that right now Pittsburgh a better team they've you know they've they've played really two tough games -- on the ball that come through. -- with flying colors as we they go to the jets Pittsburgh so that the jets the dolphins and the St. Louis Rams on their schedule as both of them patriots. So in my eyes I think I think that no I think few that -- get the 13 it's very."

" Over you watch the Cleveland Indians Cleveland this definitely. Districts they're going borrow -- watch -- play a little more active than they were earlier on it. It could open up -- kept pressure on Pittsburgh status relying on so lousy defensive coverage which they don't have."

" I I think that they were afraid of like give up the big play in Allen you know towers said to us that he thought that Cleveland played doing on the top as maybe you guys know better than I would I don't know I don't know if that's true but he felt like they played in the toughest. Because they they weren't overly aggressive they didn't blitz they didn't exposed their corners and all the other kind of up in May be Romeo. Respected you know what I'd give up the big play and within you know games change in the slate quickly with the exception knowing in the -- of the base which it overpayment. You know just eat -- beat your opponent -- evidently it did -- It's momentum -- hit the rest of the team's coach both from these ebbs and flows in games and what we saw yes there are bunched into played well the first step -- and just kind of flattened out on the second happen."

" Was gonna want them the benefit me with his -- look like the -- of momentum going everything else going in the second half Ciba. Let its -- development aggressive you know momentum."

" Well latest setback -- you -- we used sit back pundits have always say the prevent defense prevents you from winning that about what that does. But every down again you'll see it in the open let's in a situation like to pick backed off for weeks ago in the Houston Texans were playing the Tennessee Titans. You thinks scores to go ahead with about a minute 13 second suburb on regained Hawkins Carrick on the ball -- played quarterback for the Texans I mean Padilla titans. And -- put an amateur metro -- from a ball downfield won't want to as far as American plays so. I think -- ballpark shortly gotta play a little -- his -- you -- play a little bit of aggressively and maybe yesterday they put a little bit too passive at a cost them at the end of the game."

" Won't ask you again about the officials -- to bring it up again but lessen the San Diego game you know when other going to be consequences for these pathetic calls that are being made -- I'm not just talk about skipping out -- not being be able load you know -- a playoff game. Some of these guys day to be to lose a paycheck that is terrible happened last night once again."

" Why did the all the -- I don't know it's -- of those get up at 4 O'Clock this morning but I -- noticed -- in the giant cowboy -- there there -- couple really questionable calls as well there went the cowboys way in the second half that basically gave all the momentum back to them by the giants had a long touchdown I don't with a -- a long return back and by the -- I was holding -- that was so far away from the play -- them to replay -- on -- it was like given the joke I don't know what -- would call -- and that there was only going -- Brandon -- tying touchdown run. That was somewhat questionable."

" a sell job -- Williams actually."

" Right that's right but -- I thought exactly what you just said they've had 40 just trying to. You know was was acting and and the referees sought for the flag and you know unfortunately these -- types -- plays that are costing teams games and always used to tell the official. When you told the flag please whatever you do make sure you know you're doing because it'd cost me my job -- because the coach's job. In my ballot goes without Monday morning and read Albert how bad we suck because you've been a bad call."

" There was no repercussions that pizza you know I get his growth -- the game to. The patriots it was almost -- that calls of overseas alas."

" I have an idea of that decade I -- get Indianapolis no question. It was but I don't what you gonna do guys drove what are you going to do."

" I think it would have been what what Paul -- guerrilla let's look at the -- look at the pass interference with that with Ellis Hobbs we all thought it was terrible call you do it as well right boomer."

" I did I'd edit them weather what did bigbie had to give up an extent that was okay."

" Mike -- I came out of the NFL network of the officials withdrew the tape explained at all. And claim that at eight point of -- he did not aliens and it turned toward the boot the ball. And I'm watching it back in the."

" Well well what impact was there I'd -- brought -- back."

" I away tackling -- that it will homicide division I don't think you're seeing the colts receive a step on the yellow I mean the white line of the out of bounds of the ball and that won't great -- there isn't there don't think you're graded and get."

" Yeah they do their credit they -- minute determined as to whether or not they will be put into a the team and -- build erupted although it out of the post seasons and up including the -- about it too."

" I thought the worst one was even worse was last night the colts were victimized by -- With the ball was bouncing around it was awful the player's body never. My heart just sort appleby and doesn't return."

" And it can't inadvertent whistle why would the official in that type because with the ball is rolling around. Why would you blow the whistle why wouldn't you be condition. To hold back on that because if you get it wrong at least if you hold back with a whistle the videotape is going to be able to correct that."

" Did you could you tell on the replays as to whether or not these individual players stop plan. If not then that's why the added --"

" I always I think I think some did but."

" Doesn't always say this could be it if the guy blows the whistle but it's stop the other team implying. You know you really don't know how did the team would have reacted the -- never -- you don't I'm saying all the I don't know I mean it was a mistake I don't -- that the next -- inadvertent whistle and Murton was almost the one thing there replay can never changes sort of that official blows the whistle it has no matter what replay there is that the matter what the situation as the players going to be ruled dead calm because the other one billion other teams are going to stop playing --"

" The other the other thing wasn't that plays at the official closest to the plate didn't blow the whistle the guy for the in the play did which is even more. But so pathetic."

" While also disguise that they each fly -- With these guys you know they have they they have seminars they have summer meetings these guys go to a lot of practices during the year I mean they they try to do the best they tend to make argument. And my players don't like coaches they're going to make mistakes that they has is that I'd take even though we are talking about some very obvious. Blown calls for the most part a talented they don't really screwed up as bad as we wasn't going to sound."

" What do we look at the Indianapolis you must like. Six interceptions about Peyton -- it."

" But you looked at -- I was broken up what happened. But -- too but it was called pressure man -- whatever is what you're what you're under intense pressure."

" So -- we don't want to have -- fired -- receivers are out of the game I know it but it just seem to be. Frustrate the role trying to force the ball."

" I think you've discussed that there is no question that he was that they were disgusted and and he was frustrated and -- miserable he's got to do it again this year don't worry about that yet -- One crappy game and it happened in the game in which it probably should a lot because Philip Rivers is as old as. Unbelievable I don't know what the hell it happens so servers but. Right now would want him on my own might give -- quarterback and."

" Argument because she's a real -- baby doesn't look at it I don't want about the game last night people were in watching. Norv Turner in the change in the in the coaching staff. And you look back a week ago. Against Minnesota they were out of that game early and and a and -- charges just just wilted. If you look at this game there properly in this game deploying a tremendous confidence playing with the lead seemed to be you know that the celebrating. Other plant well suddenly wants the pressure hits in the second half team seemed like they were scared -- to continue on."

" Well you know the fact is they always scored 23 points and 23 of those points given first -- so there's second the second half there were awful but you ought to do what. If our -- an owner of the football team went to San Diego Chargers and and I have you know big group of guys that I have a mat team and I have that running back to have that -- there I have those outside linebackers. On him I would I would just say -- to give 40 million dollars to one bill cower. He can bid to become out of retirement -- coach -- in the next five years."

" I wouldn't call right now fire."

" I tried to lay out -- you do right now but I know one thing. I try to get him there for the next five years because I think that they'll still have a good enough team where. One got a sideline just bringing in certain intensity especially to the deep after the -- defense. It been the most disappointing even though Philip Rivers is this as a close second. The people has played good last final question about that but I mean when you give up to order 96 or so -- back on the road to a team -- basically -- about a quarterback and in Minnesota. You know that that major -- court -- not get the most out of his players and and I picked I think both our would be unbelievable that it coaches to do toward."

" Well I said early as a signal shots he shot Lima. What's that guy had strict parameters he was the man and he kept that would focus -- you know the so the guys could -- turner comes -- my I think -- was a ball put you'll often does lets him play whatever way you want and do whatever -- us acquire. It's it you're how -- would be similar look at the shots is puts a programmer has backed of these guys so they can focus. They can't lead the team I think if you like the patriots -- maybe Indianapolis they have guys in. Established but it's like the charges cannot focus on the role of a good leadership from the coat."

" Well there's another team that's like that that's gone the other way and that's without cowboys gotta get rid of bill Blair. -- and wait so all told but he you know the difference between those two teams in my eyes one position one position only and that's the quarterback. The quarterback imbalances as a man it took some big brass wanted you know what I mean the guy in San Diego wilt under pressure. You know and beat your quarter reckon you guys noticed you used to play you want your quarterback behind center to be one of those guys is that the big brass ones because you would be that the players and offensive players the fans coaches they have knows that you're going to win more when you have a player behind senator that's -- Tony -- spoke -- spoke --"

" Coastal -- just a front runner from last year."

" I don't know men are mom really I mean did you see his own mind is are we going to judge Paddington."

" I out of there's something wrong with camera water -- when they got a little too. It's it's amazing -- it. I mean really judge David Broder wrote a -- or stronger ball until purpose does the looks to me I don't know I -- me looking. -- you know I'd just as a fan I mean I can't believe how -- is normal looks."

" I probably can't go all week without somebody mentioning whether. You know questioning the validity of the patriots in the and what you're doing right now sure looked. Is the latest though he backed off he really backed a with a more than -- it it was one of the true or false questions that that you guys yesterday. And I Marino's answer was. Quite interesting to the point where. I I think that probably answered it for everybody in the -- abstain from he backed off of that obviously doesn't want to say it much you'll. And especially EM all back to to Miami did you have the same feeling"

" yeah yeah I've got to -- Saturday I think he probably felt it was a bad taste to be honest with -- And it was probably misinterpreted a little bit you know it was actually reported by Gary Myers of the new York daily news this year in the story that's where the whole thing -- out of whack here in New York -- and Dodd did just you know backed little -- other guys get everybody. You don't this year the patriots are not benefited. From -- videotapes that they may have taken that they had to do one date that they were shooting they never got that it was complicated. And you know bit there in past years I would say you know it just changes signals it's -- changes signals from week to week. You know out of every coach in this league is going to be looking for -- so it's unfortunate that Don Shula said what he said because several -- him look bad and you know it's kind of like Tony -- a couple of weeks ago not vocal with guys the -- the -- to the best team football Bill Belichick is the best coach in football and -- forest shortstop appliance stop whining about it and I think we all should recognize you know quality one we say it and I think everyone of us recognize that and number secure in myself and -- it's the best team I've ever seen."

" So I'd say that I'll live by my husband's going to go undefeated."

" All logic as a must factor behind this deal with it it."

" Of course well of course you know but that's I'm just -- you know the pitcher speculative began because you know as football we can without patriots just doesn't feel right right now because they're doing so many great things as an offense and their defense really hasn't been pushed to orbit -- you know -- last week in the second -- they -- themselves. But I don't want to see a full game and I am what I mean by that I want him just you know go out there. Shut somebody out put up -- you know another 41 point you shut everybody up mimic it's it's it's going to be --"

" The jets did the Detroit decimated you know those people still -- I don't know I don't know why everybody has a hard time you know given trade when praise is still I mean he's not at all happily over but I ought to get --"

" Culture that that you missed on what's that ones that I think that's a big part of that he's not accessible accommodating and these other coaches that are. Give them more of what they want it's not right but you know -- a lot of them over at least admitting it. That that's the reason that they they don't like him but -- want -- is happening over is. It's giving them like they they really needed it it's giving them this motivational tool of your Tedy Bruschi react last -- shall. It's amazing to me -- like that this team does not have good bulletin board material and yet. Individuals are supplying them with every single week."

" Yet but it's amazing and look for the papers he says companies got the Super Bowl rings the backup ready. Comment that you would want to sit records and but the opposite the Super Bowl rings got a trump everything in. It's a shame has gotten to this point because it's been such a great season for them and again I've never played them I've only played against bill bell a check four times but you know there's nothing wrong with saying what you're staying. Is -- some of the best football league are Christian you know like it's not the best football and they bought the football to be played but -- Brady's stays healthy and they don't have an injury bug hit them I'd they've got a little bit here and there and not not anything major. But it that they don't have a major injury bug hit them I just felt you know anybody on this schedule going to be them."

" Who wouldn't consider Julio one of the shows you brought to examples what. Denver had a restaurant they're taken San Francisco -- back with the fuel when they it would it would -- did when he when they all left Baltimore I mean it we have a short memory of some of these people that want to bounce on the stupid. Stupid spy game you know he people that were ball and things like that."

" It is a question -- aggressive they were there were told to get -- those polled all the players all the member clubs were told last year don't do the videotaping. All right everybody was made aware of that that's one of the reasons that the -- in my estimation was so significant because there's probably some in the league office that felt like. You know there was -- just you know such a slap in the face in doing it when you were told not to do that's why you know they want penalize the but the whole thing about videotape in the defense of sickness you gotta be kidding me. But beyond that the signal for third base coach are still on the signals from the catcher I mean it supported."

" UW that's right exactly watching. When you're watching college you -- ball he often depend but he cut the signals comment that the maybe you can you can take an entire game and -- the signals and then Corey those signals so go to places that you're saying right after those signals show up I mean it's it's. So ridiculous and blown out of sold sold large proportion that -- mind boggling to."

" would we -- before the other quarterback headsets times your offensive coordinator changed answer Middlesbrough or. Washington which which has future agent maybe some -- of -- the second time."

" Well prepared her we -- we had -- whole offense and I had all these different code words I would always used a different code words for different things so far wanted to running off tackle right that would be called 16 in the huddle we called 70 -- wanted to run to left. So -- said that the last terms or would they 16 or seven because you guys are published who appear or most of these guys and goes so the ball actually to pick a little bit. So I would have to say like trigger burning it to the right would be -- sound all would be also down to the left. Denver ourselves to the right Dallas else sound of left but I go back and forth alternating all these things. And and it was a as hard enough for Augusta figured out. Little on the defensive end -- went up the signal that the plays in the -- the signal on the personnel groupings and you can see those wide open now it was appear to spot but you can be hands."

" Yeah actually I don't know the worst part about this Fred early -- shows that he knew every one of those signals and what they were coming and he was still off I don't want to got a -- I was the other boy it was music is both tackles and these used to hear your signals I -- go to outcry from the field anyway how's Bob."

" I think I forget who was -- Steve Nelson you played with Freddie."

" Not all I was has it. Those negotiate Nelson."

" J Nelson. I don't know what it was it was leaders stud middle linebacker the --"

" Nelson Colin."

" shake off a guy -- there's invention -- question now from the -- common and that is what was good to know your teammates on the anyway. Hot creams are waiting game and I do -- Rivera quite a game in buffalo. I'm up there at the line of scrimmage -- on. And you turn around ashamed common -- said. They're -- right there run and right now I think Shea called civil somebody other than the dumbest person on the deep -- or shut up and try to figure that."

" I don't tackles in the in the in the pit the linebackers this -- Boone. Markets that these -- the end it that it was in the last week about you use some improvement but so with it would"

" I was the great moment for us and I've been an -- bit yesterday and knew that took place and then German shepherd did the piece. Kevin really made it Roy did it just to be big he captured the spirit of my son because honestly guys as mean as much one going to replace football that he probably shouldn't be out there with his mother's like so flight medical field because he doesn't play a lot because of this cystic fibrosis and poisonous little private school that play all the public schools here in the public school pages load road draw on these kids in the ground. Only threw that touchdown pass in the in the coach gave mob ball with a dreams come true. I mean it was just such an emotional part for all of us it was the greatest single touchdown pass that I've ever been a part of it in any at any level that I. That I I've thrown at anybody's ever thrown. And it was like we won the Super Bowl here in this house sold the great great great thing."

" As great accomplishment -- areas. -- your pick even though you're Iraq tonight -- sort of like that's what responded well technically that's not likely that you picked that from DC you digital federal credit union let me ask you this question. Stay awake and watch this with the"

" I ever watched the first step but well actually know what to do it goes to my our guys to do it there's I can't I just can't. You know what I can't like -- watching on TV --"

" It's not a great I don't really a consistent you know Alexander Nokia has got a great."

" There's not a great -- you know also guys you know big on losses dead and he died yesterday and he's -- coach today. And you know it is that was very -- get alzheimer's of the yet there's some sort of after his wells. And it isn't going to have you know he's going to be coach with a heavy heart and and you know this is team. Is going to rally around I don't carries a football became -- promotion of the -- purpose and you know his players -- and I think they're going to win tonight I think the going to be do Chelsea also been one of the most disappointing teams at all football issues -- in the should be run away what their division. There's smacked their -- not. Andy you know in a slugfest with the Arizona Cardinals won last. Last week or yesterday -- the 49ers went nugget of three wins and they'll be one game out of first place. Which is amazing so I think deported -- that a lot right mom has only because of the records all of those supported they're really going to be inspired to their coach in Brooklyn irascible."

" I did you Monday Night Football pick of the week but -- brought to -- TCU -- supporter of the oversized and foundation fighting cystic fibrosis making DC you Waco TCU dot org for more information documents we have a good week they're able."

" All right guys -- mask --"
