" Well let vacation week certainly went by quickly now it dictionary -- went to the next vacation week when that December. Well. They like July are you refreshed O completely invigorated. Recharged. -- ago little sunburn reached this -- if it beats you you treat you like the basis you like a skinny the -- alcohol -- Yeah -- happens on vacation if you make observations you don't have a it worked -- them because we're not going to show but you you -- all these things that you like to say something about like like me a list of things. Unfortunately. The ball got to me today I appear to be. About to take the man -- the master of the obvious right observation I've made while on vacation and forgive me if I'm stating. -- master of the obvious obvious and which team began to -- that was -- nickname mass trivia master of the qualities with that was it Joe Morgan and equipment you know John Madden one of these guys would you state the obvious yet everytime yeah what Joe Morton. -- that's obvious obvious. All right -- and we all agree. Jeb Lowrie has put the who'll. In Julio Lugo and -- obvious or not -- I'm sorry I'm sorry with apologies to jail for again an -- Benjamin there. On the Red Sox beat the only the -- it's. Injury. It's. I mean I love the setbacks -- acts -- what pulled him aside and said. Notice that is you're you're -- for. It saves in things like the Atlantic -- and throw -- or injuries. Area supposedly. At at Portland mythic Julio. Hates them in -- oh man. At that particular -- and it's his fault that the -- in love with them and overpaid. But they have moved on Yale -- Policy experts -- right it would be uncomfortable spring training you'll be paid utility man in the made -- We don't really care that lottery as well as the -- Julio. I want an awful lot what is. It is it's right to left ward left cool -- check -- be the right. Obvious statement number two stating the obvious here maybe there is something to that Super Bowl losers fade into Bolivia. In the following season we'll talk with Brady about the that's nonsense something -- get that yeah -- you're not concerned at all. Not in the -- we watching the games yes I tried I I try it is painful than it is it's mean and it's like homework. To give holly is not at all I don't want to be like -- Actually enjoy watching practice and what's the Colts last night -- game yet Lucas Oil field. This means nothing it's just it's it's. Why do people care if Belichick doesn't care but the -- well and by the way the only things that ever happen. In these kinds of games of note are bad things are negative thing our our people go on doubt that. The one aspect of the National Football League really totally Sox. That that. OC can go down forever. Carson Palmer could -- had his face smashed in -- only broad is no place I'm at and look at the swear those things happening to the Patriots in the mean well let's west Walker's injured rib injury Meriweather of either don't know. He crawled off the field CEO like whether OC inquiry team Umenyiora is headline that that's the biggest NFL. But -- into the -- a prison but the big stories you write the big stories of these injuries which could have been avoided. They've been smart like Tom Brady and skip the priest yet by the way the Colts. Quarterback isn't playing -- know he had knee surgery. Infected versus right yeah I think he's our worship the men and bring its search ratings non issue it really brings hurt. And he'll reveal all to a Granada east zone in the -- but the Patriots. Just work here. It's August 25. Yeah. And let's just noise in a month September toward right Doug looked and -- justice to look around grabbing -- and myself I don't know I don't want to talk. -- think will be saying. On to him about this team that he would be saying that -- OC Super Bowl hangover. You know with the -- that -- the underlying -- will it be here in our. In your tone -- voice that's going to be the bye weeks -- just just what do you think after three games. On September 25 one month from today yeah we sit here will you be feeling. Anxious about this team and it's. Fortunes I think if I had the gas and you make me to take a stance here it's would be uneven. And I think we're lucky to have answers regularly -- to a 23 you know I'm sure about that okay tell -- the illusion of Kansas City this is sitting at home. The Jets Miami that's it three games in the first you know all of us hurry weeks ago about the -- that the bye week -- With three easy convincing win. And music -- department Super Bowl hangover and I don't particularly talking about me and even out that the Jets obvious and everybody is an early easy games. Earlier knees and again it's do you think these pre season games these practices will matter a month from today. --"

" Only it's not another. Problem Jerry terrible problem if you can say you can say listen Tom Brady is not involved and we understand why their own rate. The cornerback play while certainly spotty and uneven and not inspiring is not the only reason their lose in these game games specialties have sucked the defense sucked the most most disturbing part is. The starters. Of the Patriots -- aside are getting outplayed by the starters of the other teams that they are fighting. This is like vitamins -- get their asses kicked by the scrubbing and he's the Patriots starters are losing competitively to the other team's starters don't want that defense is playing poorly and the special teams are playing poorly and -- bring him -- know little girl whatsoever."

" Colts got their asses kicked last on and in this practice the first practice television Lucas field. Does that mean the Colts are probable to. I just pick a month from now that we three you know. And you know maybe. -- struggle maybe -- do -- 500 maybe I don't know. But a month from now the -- three you know and will be no talk about exhibition season will be -- talked about there. Loss to the puck in the years of the Ravens the Eagles or -- the Giants mean these pre season games will be distant memories are from."

" It's like Pedro show and a couple days. It was father's birthday and it's a big deal it's it's spring training in the Morrissey can leave with a group -- a day and how will talk about that don't you think that the problem I think that Belichick and the Patriots. Place less importance on these games and other teams do but don't you think they're trying to have good special teams coverage that you think they want the -- to be jumping at this particular point to go to the amateur sure it will matter -- so you think there's going to be some. Switch. On September 7 in Kansas City this somehow specialty after the other and yet he says that they win and we'll sit here after Kansas which is year. I think we're going to have much running up the score talk this year -- look at it that. -- there around the score we might we might the Jets games that game the year you the museum digits if things are going well. That the dogs in that Matt Cassel art -- play darkness that's bombs were supposedly. The big blow -- in the afternoon again. But that has occurred anybody that maybe you have some. No better quarterback play by the back -- if they had gotten in against Buffalo it was fifty to nothing with the Redskins it was 75. Sort of gross came right out again. Actually did who did who ever innings and yeah that's that's why I think he has the -- because. Typical route. And on the -- all these third string quarterbacks that. That it should meet them and hockey. Moxley's. Tokyo because she. Asks for max McNabb. Ellis of go in my final observation and you -- stating the obvious Venezuela. Should be ashamed. Of itself. Venezuela. Should be ashamed of itself Moldova. Martinez and told goal. All won as many medals as -- leave that hank is I promise them all one of the country's medal. Marco. Smarty it is no animal bull Moldova and mark he has I get all fields and politics. And let's put. -- Ortiz. -- swimmers I don't know I think -- take left although. It feels like it. More -- admirable and -- You know this -- that as our marching Martin as -- Africa. Thanks so much -- now. -- you know -- they'd like him Belgian Congo on Diaw and lower Venezuela is inferior or. Smart smart -- MER IT IUS Marti has won a -- bronze medal. Wednesday it it's it is and how. Well do very well I'm sorry I took notes during the opening ceremony."

" Is -- As -- stuff Pakistan. Is wills is -- bizarre it was used Pakistan. You know stanza. Stands -- in. Operation. But. Which a -- to Susan who won the two. -- Trinidad and Tobago which is it mean nothing here."

" we got a lot of and it got the other big. Been doing much better against Moldova. Or so ago plane in their fellow Communist countries that shouldn't heads. In their favor yeah. And by the way -- get this that support you know we get a he sure as we waiting on line. He knows but them."

" This this whole celebration. Is is just obscene. Did you see Bob Costas rap at all yes yes with a picture ma -- That's NBC each if you will have otsuka picture. Over Bob Costas. Show me it's. Not Hitler if you go to Germany. Scotland when they go to Russia -- team. I mean with that they have pictures of stolid over -- that -- mentioned whether the homeless and the mentally -- would be allowed out other pages now. Rivera and I got -- does that bring this morning they bulldozed them into the ditches they're dead they're gone in the other they'll return. It's amazing that these peace dude use these these useful useful idiots at NBC including by Chris Collins who I believe said. This place is great quote unquote yes the idea this place is great when they well -- now engaged by the panel that I don't know stick and hit into their wrap up his highlights of the week. Would she grabbed my knee. That's what he said -- this is Phelps grabbed my knee. It's like Chris Matthews Obama a moment ago an eagle with a left right or lose Nicklaus. At this really mean. BC Dick Ebersol and company I mean I know that beyond shame it's Ceres network in the aren't to be taken seriously and so many levels but the idea that you would. Will allow yourself to be used."

" I mean they know -- public relations deal I mean that's what I contract is all about China agreed to spend untold. -- of dollars to two but these things together. Plus bulldozed the homeless and mentally ill and into ended pitches somewhere and and BC -- for their part to pay a lot about it coverage. And and yeah released exactly there there."

" Check there rod did integrity at the door. Bob costs mean everyone talks about the bad I job as the least. Of the problems I -- Bob Costas these last couple weeks he and so can be used like little. Like Marion. With -- and harassing blog. -- when you get back here you can have some work to do get your dignity back -- You really have to read it read -- Mitch album and other guys who. Who were offended at the heat's am machine it was as -- game they'd literally. The sounds -- with the ugly buildings you know and and literally. Beginning with a little ugly girl who's saying -- them replaced by the little good looking girl I mean every day it was one. Lose -- decide what Shell game after another. And people like Bob Costas Crisco and -- said this place -- a few minutes like. It's. In. The -- they're not fooling people in attention. Even though you've been used you're useful 88. It's not -- and most people who're or watching listening and paying attention know that little gymnast. -- reached puberty they know. That's a lie they know that there should I don't they injected. One knows China cheated everyone knows the IOC's in the bag -- knows NBC's just another. One. Yeah it's huge I just expected more minute. Some people expected his goal line with the -- Hollandsworth. You should be -- question for you."

" What happens going forward. In the bird's nest now would that be the revelers in the outlaws. If if -- bird's -- going portable but the homeless. And the mentally. -- just meant they missed the one relation to -- that Stan. The ball coach is -- half of the -- that's a wide open all the way he would miss lately gay in the sweet amusement industry generated miss him. All right 6177 of 9850 toll free 88852. Fives Europe repeat whitacre emails all morning long Dennis and Callahan a WEEI dot com. Pro sports -- now Tom Brady live right after that."

" When did the drive navigate though I failed that Israel took -- more junk that spent. -- It's not that I can't lottery. Ticket. His first from the outside and their let's not -- you get -- that upon."

" And I sure hope that MRI goes well today from Julio Lugo. At. Luke. That's ditto with the movie Lulu and Julio and then."

" I don't think Julio is -- me that I think he knows we -- in yeah and he knows the question is not this year when they. Give him Julio Lugo update question I want answered if you gonna. Approach him and talked to him the from it and do it for him and we Benjamin others who were -- as you wonder about February respect what about my gosh headed back to you is is that going to be competition and because pars up -- and -- has won it but now and forever. --"

" Pretty much is -- the -- he's on -- for a hundred RBI did he can do things that Lugo hit two we know Lugo can't do the things that salary can do -- lead offensively by the way. Julio wasn't very good in the -- ago. Lowrie has 154 at bats and 32 RBIs. If you do extra about over full season its ups and RBIs. Ago. 261 at bats 22. Lugo."

" He couldn't get a hundred RBIs and in his life. In the idea. People. It's it's it's it's the right it's just just to some funny company the silly you you laugh -- Julio how to --"

" It's very silly house Jacoby Ellsbury don't hang -- at one thought. After watching Jacoby rational conflict and if that was J. D. Drew he'd still be involved right now. And yet you look -- And it's could point -- 'cause if Ellsbury comes out of that game who goes in."

" You -- connect Jeff Bailey what did you -- And and Francona gives Ellsberg a lot of credit and -- should because if Ellsbury doesn't suck it -- and comes out. They're in trouble and on the mix and match and just trying to. Figueroa who began play you know who complain here who could play there and they probably don't win that game they do know one night and JD Mike on the DL. I don't think Israeli air and it is I don't think we would hear that named JD Drew today -- yeah I'd let you."

" To have cowering in the corner. -- know about I don't know. I absolutely did not yeah address in this Jerry of course her -- in this but -- huge went further incidents over my Bruges we're still in the race. But the teetering on the brink of elimination Red Sox take two out of three Papelbon two scoreless. Manny Delcarmen his second -- I was all set to just bash Francona for bringing Delcarmen and after Papelbon threw six."

" Pitches to Houston -- that back toward Manny Delcarmen is one important nine. Save opportunities. And how can -- he's added that. -- policy he's not that bad of pitchers so our starters 96 -- can you be one for nine in save opportunity he's wired met doesn't seem to save situation right so well now that -- that you think you who for. Important game he's blown aids say and I am it is. -- in this case so others a chance that there is a chance that this is --"

" Great win. We get out of here but got data regroup and we probably need to those guys beat up. But we did some really good things when this game."

" Matsuzaka still Manning by the way and only he only walked one. He struck out eight if she really got a mere. I know I'll give him credit for striking out any 100 -- right 105 pitches in six as opposed the 15 and five that we saw him. His last start. Fifteen into remains with a no decision yesterday Mitchell Tampa bay by four and a half. Rays lose the White Sox six to Friday's cut in raw spend this disease and range. Robbed AJ Pierzynski -- as the worst calls I've ever seen universally hated by everybody prison and now we know why it Pierzynski. -- called interference. On the infield and that was Pierzynski who interfered. Not the infield I -- Nobody did anything Pierzynski just -- it put his cooped in touch dive bar in between second and third they call I bar for interference so Pierzynski remains on. One that the given third base right yeah. And he was the winning run he scored on the Alexi Ramirez double in Chicago wins the game."

" That is misses on the worst calls it was a -- I mean it's one thing -- called. Decide it's -- that a -- It was even better in the plight wasn't a factor was just Pierzynski what sticks and you -- It was a terrible -- scandalous Doug at a school this is what happens if Tampa bay goes on here and I'll say this is launching point to train pulled appointment dream you gotta be -- eventually unfair would be unfair but I don't know it. I don't want oil the 626. September race at -- on the whole thing mindful of their record is at home 47 and eight. -- very difficult to go into the trop and beat the -- Joe Madden on the obstruction rule."

" I don't doubt that. I expect that the players. And -- respect with a group of maybe you can mutual Centennial. Than when these specialized red respect for that group. I just so -- that they did because the car world."

" Yes they did was clearly wrong or reserve Joe mention -- it wasn't thrown out of the game. So that the -- get tossed she. Knew they -- up absolutely Yankees are stole. Hanging in there oh by the way will they be the spoiler starting tomorrow night Tim Wakefield starting yet we thank coming up the DO start against the Yankees can just was ERA against New York is the last three years. -- tell us fourteen point 25 and lose it's not good not -- got a good if not a good trend you know with Wakefield versus pennant right. Yes and and bird versus sponsor on. And mussina versus Jon Lester -- and who spurred on Wednesday with a bruised thumb. Might have altered. We'll go so they could eliminate the Yankees advocate big evicted -- the -- the matador does the -- at the end yeah Yankees. Have thanked. Yes Yankees are five back with the Chinese Government homelessness fool as a -- will pitch in -- dirt on them. Less -- a throw -- are not throw dirt on anybody this morning because -- boy what a happy guy -- you guys are back you know you rescued from the -- experimented and how would you you're like the dog I'd -- that a great that you are very Nixon did a great -- I love -- with a because you never know what -- it's yeah yeah. That's the best they'd say if you throw the villain here us. Yeah it is I'm pretty sure he's headed for like a two week suspension one of these days it's it's. Well it's great but the best story of the day don't believe -- ought to -- those a year Umenyiora. You know. And season and you have a cigarette FL -- I don't have a bigger as well and I unit today yes I do there was one number two and approach. Program number one you know hearts and number three overall Matt Ryan. We all know what happened named the starting quarterback for your Atlanta Falcons. On September 7 against the Detroit. Lions. People start 130 consecutive games is the only quarterback playing effectively now fifteen out of 21102. Yards on Friday against those wanted. Tennessee Titans no ends no it's Jerry's been waiting for those but I happened."

" I spoke with -- coach Smith earlier today and trying to just pull me aside and and we talked for a couple minutes and kind of just let me know the situations are as excited to hear that and down. You know excited for the next couple of -- extent to get going."

" As well you should be how many sacks protecting me and that's yes they are they giving him the necessary time to grow. -- Jersey I don't know what I was Beckett she brought that -- or that I'll tell him because he has. You're hearing it first right here he will be -- Pro Bowl quarter but -- Pro ball that you competitive league depth to it ruins of the BC's -- instinctive."
