Charlie Casserly

" Welcome back Dennis and Callahan I must admit I enjoyed. Hearing Shannon Sharpe and Boomer Esiason go head to head. On CBS's pregame show on Sunday as much as the next guy but Jerry. The appointment viewing segment of the NFL and CBS -- look questioned. Charlie casually sit down with JB or at least Charlie casually redo as a the -- Charlie good morning how aria. You're enjoying your time more that you where you're you're you're loosen up you -- have a good time are you enjoy yourself -- the set Charlie are. But the fun part doesn't necessarily talking about some bad things that are going on in the league in first and foremost obviously is the Plaxico Burress situation. In your estimation how the commissioner deal with this down the road -- let the legal process play itself out or does he not need to do that."

" I thought first I think he -- the legal process. Go through. I think it has similarities if Michael Vick case. It insist that our Michael Vick space in various serious. Are. Our legal consequences. Flexible versus face legal urged seriously consequences. With the commissioner -- Was -- just -- law and not do anything. Because. That'll be so severe. It is sparse more severe than anything that we will allow a I think you know what he's body let that it Giants take their Boris here in Atlanta make their decision which was edges Celtic. Ample subtle. -- that Giants. One out it -- item. Suspended them. Out with Elvis fate. So basically taken by -- burst out of the equation. A civil law. In March when he goes to court yet but I've personally I think the league we'll -- and at what the courts but it was then decided that they would."

" Charlie do you think Antonio Pierce is in any kind of trouble here because technically he violated the same law apparently that that the it to burst in him and he handled the gun in the illegal gun. In Manhattan and an even. Try to hide it tried to cover up the crime. Could he be looking -- suspension."

" Yeah -- that one I don't know. Because. Mean clearly there and I said it's Sunday. I well. The Giants -- transported across state lines and of course that's been you know that the two. That once seems to be a little bit more open -- as do what's. Open air force or -- about whether or -- my knowledge even though -- a lot of hasn't been charged with anything insult. That one. I I really don't have an opinion it has it. Here's -- that was not his. So that may save what little -- well. Yeah felt that supplies that's -- and yet. -- clearly endorse legal ramifications. As. You know you see each point evidence those speak. I was thinking evidence that it if it's by well versed in trying to eliminated wars just boat accident that easily sustain. First hospital as the the cause of thinking about it -- so there's there's seems to be a lot of things -- era."

" A Charlie two part question here I assume bodily ask -- argue about the legion of observers observers believe the Plaxico Burress has played his last game -- the New York Giants. And and and beyond that if and when he is ever ready to him back to the National Football League whether that's at the three that years in prison or one and a half years -- the case may be. Has this guy reached such a toxic level -- there won't be an appetite to bring him on any of the other 31 teams."

" Well as far as the Giants of course that's all speculation. I've. My feeling is. Probably has played his last game -- the guys because. Effort his last suspension. I think that that it was pretty -- wasn't quite there yet but he was pretty darn close to. Being out of the Giants anyway. If something serious happened or this substance very very. -- because they had taken a lot before that while spent whatever they suspended for two weeks. It was reduced to one. Which is pretty serious spent by these. So I I doubt we'll be able besides that it war as wars and -- in those. I think that they their company is you know be out if he's out at orbit dale. If you are about 31 or receive it misses -- air force base in. That I think it's academic Spanish. Or have you if for some reason does -- L and the Giants don't welcome back. He actually hit it it out by any of their contract with somebody but it'll be a low money on track. Little rest for the."

" Here's here's the -- as we've been way we look forward to talk and it -- we get a quick. Rules question for you that we couldn't answer and nobody we know connect. Do you know the -- is this -- is launching yourself for defensive player is launching. An offensive player illegal."

" What is the question out -- launch is launching a panel old launch. Watch. Army offensive player launch W the demons like the defensive back. Yelling at an offensive player are you allowed to launch yourself leave your feet. Once yourself through the air and attempt to make the hit of the tackle with your feet off the ground."

" If you can watch I think I think we're the rule is if -- placement of that Eric. --"

" Apology as good -- told today Charlie's smart."

" I accept at he itself I think what it comes down it was these these things if you watch if you it would the -- that -- Okay which dispenses bearing but that's a --"

" Right so launching is it really a penalty isn't really crossing the line and we didn't know hell. The announcers of games they never seemed to no avail always talk about launching. Players coaches. Today we find out in Ron Borges column in the Boston Herald. Mike Pereira tells him that. It easy misconception. Launching is against the rules that launching is in fact fine you can't it helmet to helmet to spear. Which you can launch. The official in the game Sunday told Ryan Clark that he got a penalty at fifteen yard penalty on Welker. Because he launched so the official thought it was against the rules Clark accepted the explanation. Clark thought it was against the rules the announcers said it was against the we all thought launching was against the rules Mike Pereira and Charley casserly -- only two people who knew the rule congratulation."

" Good out now what what -- like get a gift the gift certificate for what."

" Golfer's warehouse -- a -- in the I want you Gloria. Art critics ought to pick up -- yes absolutely. -- I don't remember do you think the officials are are completely. Well versed on every rule in the rule book."

" Even -- is so complicated now. I can see some odd -- situations that a -- but. It's their responsibility. Good read first I think they're given every opportunity it. They have won eight this study it they have both clinics they have. Videos about not a soul up. I have to admit I I I can't remember. An official or crew. Not knowing -- rule out we did at the situation. With the Pittsburgh San Diego game. Well refereed at all yeah okay it made it right and he got -- that it. By this information. But the other officials. All I want of that needed no rule they didn't know will make it over there and all the something after the play that to happen like. So while. Like and -- cover in all honesty. Officials. Not knowing the rules that -- litigate you mentioned the -- and about watching it could be they -- Do what he disposed to say and then cut it short boo. So. I act could be."

" I Charlie went with the subject of full time officials is discussed by the league and out of -- off that comes up of -- every offseason or every other offseason. Other than the practicality of having these guys with so much down time. What's the reason not to have guys you know nine months out of the year that you take three months off like -- do like the athletes do. Studying film. Reviewing not spending forty hours being accountants -- bank vice president or attorneys."

" Well I -- if you want to aspect of it WB a couple. But. Force well I would think it is this is economics. Affect all of these people have -- jobs. And and they're not young people starting out they've reversed out was evidenced apple. In own career. And action. If they wouldn't give up their jobs. You would have to. They have a lot more than that make it right now. I now to do that and you'd want to see -- would want to start from scratch XT at -- hole. That a new Patriot -- so -- so now we're talking about it the basis by an injured."

" The luster I just didn't depart we give our new we have our cable bill with an apparent home really that's that we get Charlie back we you -- make it tells you our business Charlie."

" Outright. Just sit anybody listened to it take this like it accurately the job yet have for less money and less security and -- So that's the first negotiate point this is -- what a tremendous amount more quality. To get these officials believe they're all it. Though right off the bat economically. That extra money is that you sure that's going to insure better officiating we never thought what. What are the bank you know. You know honestly I don't remember -- strain -- So."

" If they get steroid tested like the play is because I think that we wanted to get at luckily out of the game. --"

" That the that the big question now I'd I don't know what they do that so why don't they first put some of those drug testing and we as a staff what has what the Redskins will always all the right best it was a great gesture right gotta be honest as the last subway and it took its we get a ones."

" Hey did speaking of drug testing are the Vikings. Playoff hopes they they they done gone because of -- of their two big guys in the middle of the offensive line are are going to have to. Pay a price for him through those testing positive I mean they're fighting it today have a chance."

" The by the Vikings and it still have Accenture because I think they're still have a these offenses pretty solid of course those -- two -- well probably. The two most or players the what are you -- Adrian Peterson. Certainly it was able winning games plus the other thing is evident at the lead in the division they have to -- this week. Which. In other going to be favorite nation win that game. And dealt with that in mind you know they they they have a chance. This system like the playoffs that would that vision -- arrogant lot --"

" A week ago there were called women not to the station people wanting to trade Tom Brady is Matt Cassel was coming off 2400 yard games like get those calls anymore thankfully Charlie but. There's still some question about how the Matt Cassel. Situation won't play oh -- do you think. In the team in the Patriots simple question can -- franchise him in February and turn around and trade him and they get something for him. Will he be able to walk away and and leave the Patriots have nothing."

" Well by rule they can do that. Yes -- could they get some form. I believe they however I don't see the practicality of it because the franchise that was but he between fourteen. Outs. So that's going to I have that on the cap and then you know if I'm Matt Cassel. Well of my first -- on one side at the minute -- get. That that -- at like at that guaranteed about money now let -- sit -- and say you know what I've got some leverage it. Suppose. Detroit's interest to make. Interest in don't destroy -- that -- the that the belly it and operate plays this year Dogg and ice here hold a clipboard that I. Am white and I got a pack of flight."

" Why can't -- companies say no to would trade balconies."

" Well he can't say go to which -- hectic but here's the reality -- nobody's going to trade for it I don't want your contract it. What you know that being out they're going to want a -- things -- want a Walter contract. And they're not going to want to take that cap number the first year. Okay so -- right off the bat. It you'd see it he's going to have what we don't do not strike if he doesn't agree to a contract. The teams not penetrate so it's going to be like -- the."

" Right does does that new contracts supersede the fourteen million guaranteed does that go away I start all over and say you know six years at nine million dollars a year yeah. It does yes so what are."

" Immediately see the probable. That was that about a money guaranteed right that sets some kind of -- primer on the negotiation."

" Yeah -- you know quarterbacks always get paid hit it thirty million guaranteed. From Detroit or somewhere else can't imagine any QB in his prime 27 years old -- I'll be back -- I mean is doesn't have to strike while the Giants."

" Well you can take that opinion but then. Sometimes. But this is where. People will look at the big picture and say you know what. Fourteen -- they have a lot of money. I'd certainly going to be works opening next year and animal free agent again and the Patriots at that point. What apt to make it 20%. All -- about extra immediately make eight team -- have for the Patriots all week. Personally. I would I would be selective about where I would go if I had that option I don't think you'll have that option I elect the option or anywhere it wants to go."

" It Charlie -- a question for -- might this be a record for offseason coaching vacancies in the national football late."

" So are you -- and I don't remember what the record is was that something like -- on yeah it is like nine. Yeah I am not sure what we're gonna get I think this committee things up in the air right now but clearly what four games ago. Some places that we're not even thinking about the trade that'll happen."

" Using nor is really safe in San Diego one of the big under achievers in the league so far this year. --"

" There's several marriages they're AJ Smith has. -- want wrecked out or that want to Asia fact you wanna record -- it lasts that is bad some days a loss to Atlanta. Saying quote according to rest situation. Meeting at the coach is going to be back. So based -- that public dole what he said because it'd have to say that -- said. Originally an outstanding right. -- anything at all you know say that as it question they have. Well but but what I chose to do it that's sort of the owners like attend that they that he's back."

" Will Josh mcdaniels -- head coach somewhere next year."

" What are your consideration. I guess of I I can't say whether it will but I think he's certainly -- consideration especially if the disease -- that Matt Cassel. The Patriots have had. So he's certainly deserves consideration and I think he will be."

" Charlie just for the record of anybody askew NFL referees currently -- between 42. And 120000. Dollars per season. Amateur with a big disparity as -- value I get the 120 versus the 4242. That's going to use it to him launch an incentive that is yet so that's a pretty big pretty big spread there but 42 and 121000. Dollars a year would be the answer."

" Very good I'm sure the 42 rookies of the one point ones. The guys that are have."

" Exactly hey Charlie -- always a pleasure talk with the thanks for the time we'll see other out. Okay. Charley -- with Dennis and Callahan meet a pro sports last -- four hairy -- and carpeting question we have a lot Plaxico Burress is legal --"
