Opening Segment

" are you ready for your. News sure it's dry days here in Boston. -- and knows -- out. Of easy. And our guys Stan for. Equal rights amendment. -- questions are okay. Meeting. On national rifle so -- good made you get. I would I'd get that out. Comerica him. Analog boy and associates. In the vernacular. Used extensively. People were. -- WT. And you'd like without -- Now as we move forward with life without thought I'd truly sincerely hope Brady. Did exactly what I'd the last. It. This has asked a cold one and hands ice bag and he. And watched yet another. Performance by Jon Lester at that park. Synergy here. -- Attitude adjustment. For this your laundry. And not be inspirational. Be less in person that needs. Watch what Jon Lester did last eight. Well he cancer -- team back and as it gets me Italy based I know."

" No the green needs inspiration and I'm pretty confident that Brady will re. The diligently and will be. As healthy he can possibly be next. Pitches that in my eyes will be the year 2525. In next September. That anybody in Patriot nation as they can. Is wondering how Brady will play next September and that the more concerned about Cassel play. This Sunday and it's it's such a huge question mark I don't hear anybody. Who is confident in there opinion in -- some people think Cassel will will be fine this week. Some people they QB off this week nobody's sure nobody nobody know apple doesn't know. I mean if he had played USC had said he won the Heisman at USC you'd -- fall back on that. If he'd played. In -- in regular season game like a meaningful game last year before. Filled in here field in the beat most Patriot back -- members seem. At least get a chance -- wrote Scots seek -- got some meaningful I have -- and we realize how bad ones you know on the Hudson. It's then he he's -- fourth year and is yet to take a meaningful start him with human garbage time occasionally. We saw him throw the pick Jason Taylor -- yanked drive out of there. We've seen him increase season god knows we've seen plenty of that crap. Practice games but you just don't know how we will react. I guess I should say until Sunday and make meaningful -- took some meaningful snaps against. Kansas City and looked good but that's a whole different deal somebody explained. Somebody in the paper this morning you know -- They were coaching and prepare for Brady. You make this adjustment incompetence of these room were adrenaline -- his wing and India. Whole different deal he prepared to make your first start --"

" Inhale and exhale few times between now and Sunday and and the answer is. Knows what he's going to do. Matt Cassell doesn't know how he's going to beat Bill Belichick doesn't know Matt Light doesn't know Randy must doesn't know that's the fascinating they don't -- that we do in my you're right they still don't know."

" I'll see him in practice they know them they look into his eyes each and every day they still don't know. The only reason I have some confidence. Is because he's still here you know he's seventh round pick who didn't post college in -- still here so clearly Belichick. And mcdaniels and in pioli and and everybody in the organization. Saw some sees something in value you value and you know what he could easily been cut is no reason hang in the seventh round pick for four years. If he didn't show anything. -- been sent packing along time ago but was -- just as Mike -- points on salary it's a great question it's a terrific on very -- this morning 540000. -- that jumps off the page an anomaly does that jump off the -- but the money these other back -- act honestly Trent Green like Chet lemon and then isn't it -- two million bucks a year and a half to totally the three. -- Todd Collins three million nausea when we looked at that list that Don banks compiled the best that ranked the 32 back. He should -- included seller for each of -- you wonder. We we talked about the -- you can expect Trent Green -- calls Byron Leftwich. And new cities -- better than these guys who works well you don't know what he's what you do -- they make a lot more money than Matt Cassel. And you have to wonder. If it was part of the decision I mean Mike Beasley is the case that they just didn't place. As much value. On that position on that role as other team was 54. People -- radius 540000. In the seat cushion built into. It and Andy goes like. I was surprised how little he makes me as as it was how much -- other guys -- Collins. Three million dollars signing bonus and another million in guarantees. In his nine million dollar contract three years -- mil for a back up. And grit that he might start Campbell keeps playing like you do in the opening day he might be back within like two weeks. All these guys or rot David. -- Cleo Lemon. All -- make much much more than Cassell was match was today eagle on the cheap for the back doubled because Brady had been so too."

" Helping specific to keeping Cassel Matt Gutierrez was a financial ohno and me mixed as -- moment nothing neither is going out and getting somebody else point well taken but the fact of the matter is he has hung around here for four years they've evaluated this guy by the way that they were going to go cheap -- there was -- and and there was a decided difference. Between those two quarterbacks they went with the older guys they clearly thought that the guy who has four more years of out under age on his body. Was going to be more valuable to them down the road in the younger guys 23 years younger in terms of the upside so again it Belichick we trust at least until Sunday around. Eight quality I used to like --"

" Right -- you know at these are lewis' way -- Coleman has some carry some weight is. How many of these guys these potential replacements that they even look at how many get a look. How many hell that you make -- look sims. And retain yes I --"

" since they myopia salary issue is I believe if they sign on this week he becomes vested veteran of the payment couple million dollars. So IP. Factor as well and wouldn't Culpepper if indeed that's evens lightly on -- he's obviously I don't think -- Peppers excepting the minimum -- out and I and that's probably -- he wants wants Todd Collins money he wants Gus Frerotte money. I can't believe we'd like about all the I would hope -- and I think about it I would hope I would hope -- is that -- these things. The -- the model franchise in professional football and they. Skimping. On the back up quarterback its last skimping and it's me or in this as apple two. -- is way faults -- some authority after eighty games starting a hundred games are 120 games started. Need to spend money on a guy who's going to sit there that's okay lead for top particularly."

" Chase that there's more pressure encapsulated a magic is what you read from -- today is going to be in you be able to read everywhere in about two weeks of -- pale yet if Cassell fails. And you have this team that -- in eighteen and one last year in this offense it's the best offense ever and you hit it in you bleed in the hands. Of a guy who's not up for the job because you won this eight million or two yeah. -- That the Red Sox spent and then on you know all our laundry for a month or two or Mark Kotsay for mark there to Julio Lugo for not playing. If that's true and I'm not sure it is but I'm that that question will be asked repeatedly. In the coming weeks can. Just imagine if Cassell just fails miserably that the O'Connell gets a shot -- Gutierrez comes back. If you indeed find out from your sources that they did it to save money will that not be the biggest. Bonehead. Manager yes -- coaching and personnel decision in recent Patriots it."

" We'll see himself at the moment because the pain at the moment is is is so acute. -- Might becoming in this particular year this might end up being a lost year and then restart over all over again. A year from now. You -- lost years in in -- Moss is prime and you know in Matt Light Laurence Maroney crime account how we got to this point Duke Elway and and obviously evaluate Matt Cassel Matt Gutierrez or anybody else. -- in oh oh oh and number eighty start 27 games."

" If you're spending to the cap then you're spending on something else right and that something else. Might be out of depth at linebacker and in May be that the that that all the money spent on the front four. 13 point four point seven on defense you're right it paid dividends somewhere else. But it's hard to believe that -- is just been left in the hands. Of a guy who hasn't started since high school now."

" Number -- has I quarterbacks on the roster I know that's subject to change who knows maybe the working on a deal right now you know I have no idea what that -- debate."

" Can you explain -- to meet today's story is that Chris Simms and -- today. In the Foxboro ill will left -- in the waiting room now in in the author is yeah outside the office but it'll make him. Many -- that waiting area and -- look at magazines like like three month old time magazine's. And can originating in the look at each other in the some. -- yeah. -- like plane ticket home will be waiting period -- Logan at the road at bats yeah. They couldn't go through the motions. As column influences row couple. About can you. Can we tapped yet and he would that little rub for a rubber hammer -- that it looked good -- at least check for hernia a couple of explain that to me in if that's true. These two guys as they were at the line. Checkers about whether in August I mean I don't think it's good for. For business the year guys around like that that'll -- Phil Simms will be too happy about it either -- that that man has. Is that the story -- as I understand yes that is the story that there were left waiting -- bowlers just went zero listen --"

" What are they change their mind about that I they obviously rallied around -- and -- and it says. This is right and obviously when it happened it was probably pretty bad certainly in the next morning in new but this was all done in a -- my eyes 101214. Hour deal -- right now to bring in people. Start putting two wheels and in in motion and it is doing their jobs that Lackey you know go to the airport and bring rotate -- and and consumes him. And -- having discussions over the course of the morning but it looks an appeal resides in in the ballots excised the talk the job and late and they discussed what the offense is going to be under whose would it be served. If indeed -- fields or deterred as well as. The solution here. That brings him him and -- meter maybe there's more money ball I think that is as the guy who is well. Corey is going to be if we have to -- him I don't know a 1000000000002 million dollar and he's ready to help -- report -- can -- here for like I -- At about the same -- excellence financial. Financially it's it's it's it's it's -- basically finance."

" The Red Sox signed burden kotsay all these guys in a justice. System bolster their lineup is that for the stretch run. It twice it just seems unfathomable. That mean hell. Probably made you know and the million bucks notes Houston cocktails alone sepia scene but the."

" to deal with a salary cap the door with a specific deal with a specific number the Red Sox can spend more on the Yankees that they want to it's just a matter of will. Now here's the other thing we do we have a lot about what's gonna happen Sunday will now. Cassell was going to respond with -- any of that stuff. But here is what we do know for short today. Off the NFL in general. And the New York Jets specifically. Are licking their chops waiting for this you know and all you have to do is pick up the New York Post today and read Steve's -- and and they are. Gleeful. Across the National Football League about what has apparently happened to the Patriot organization and not only they gleeful and what the told mr. it was a call yesterday that they were in Vegas."

" Yeah Vegas when Brady all of this today article in the New York Times just that it was an editor wrote. He was it ESPN's sports ESPN zone and the place the -- opted. As Brady was limping off Texas -- exports by an apparently there was all over the city. And then they have the message board readers on -- is one after another I was here they cheered I was here right greatest thing right and I don't. Say this -- sounds tasteless and classless. I'm not necessarily blame them you -- cheering. The pain that Brady's going through your team suddenly has a chance to your show me your honest sudden viability in the national football as I mean if Brady gets dude you went. And get it hurts to say Brady quit you know they decided that. Join the Air Force is something needs to be courts. That you suddenly everything changes the dynamic in the division and and you have the chance playoffs that the Jets. Are probably the favorite co favorites like that. With Buffalo New England with everybody except Miami in the division right there the whole world just. Change."

" It's more than that it's it's more than your -- sudden viability -- it's it's a chance to win and it's also a chance. Two payback Bill Belichick in the New England Patriots Serbian writes about it today believe is their must beat no sympathy for the double. When he returns to the scene of the crimes Sunday at Giants Stadium they say what goes around comes around and now finally. Bill Belichick comes around without Tom Brady derby goes on to right Belichick ran up the score last year on Joe Gibbs and anyone else in his way. Because there is no crying in football Gibbs took the high road and and said nothing looks like the days of bully ball. Are over for a while -- smell blood and they want blood this is the Jets chance to give it to them. That's the mindset that I think not -- Jets they're coaching staff the fans the players have the entire Lovie has accomplished in the old country."

" Is hoping I mean. I -- people hate Brady is -- you didn't want to see Brady get hurt sick of the way they Belichick and hate the whole franchise and their sick of them winning. There that they play in the Jets they're underdogs. And there on the road and yet nobody outside New England is rooting for them -- they are. The team America loves to hate now that the team America will hope is hoping. Just struggles I mean cumulative thing test. Get their ass kicked opened on the -- division in the open down the AFC. They'll be it it will be part of the jewel the part of the that the fun NFL fans to an NC who's going to kick -- success this."

" Exactly I'll bet if you took a poll a poll of neutral football fans across the country not you're not a lot of vote on your own team. Let's just say I don't know who you think the best in football happens you right now trip to rule out the Chargers and the COLT at this moment. The Pittsburgh Steelers lose no doubt it's all right and and went to people outside Pittsburgh and outside of Dallas -- you get to watch the following thing happened over the course of this. But 2008 football season you can watch Bill Belichick and the new the Patriots struggled mightily and go one at fifteen. Where you can have the joy of watching some other team out of the viewers Steelers the Cowboys. Go fifteen of water or or make a runner to sixty postseason I guarantee the vast majority would would just. Gleefully embrace the chance to watch Bill Belichick brought up in his mouth on the sideline for the next fifteen weeks and lose every single game they would like to see this happen."

" And then like to see it happen this week have been some Brett Favre in the -- And this is. Yeah you don't want to see Cassell gain any confidence -- beef yours your Patriot Nader yeah. You want to see Cassell just suck and you want to see this team. Without Brady just look lost I think this is the marquee matchup it's at 415 right yes yes this is the marquee matchup of the weekend. And it will be and usually -- Kansas City Oakland. By the way Oakland's on the schedule yeah now you think that yeah five and eleven. Oakland is one of those five assume the idea. Of sisco on the final match -- separatist us that victory."

" Much outs and the and went. You have to understand every year Jerry their team we have so are going to have dialogue of sucked ability because they did last year they'll beat the Colts you gotta play it that way bill winning game and -- and that may be the case rightful eyes opened 617. 779850.
