" Our number three of Dennis and Callahan with Mike Felger and Scot Zoellick and as we do every Patriots Monday at this time we talked to Boomer Esiason down in New York over -- morning Merry Christmas happy holidays all that stuff."
" Yes send you guys might get cut my idea is going to figure out one thing how come John and Jerry get off I don't."
" Excellent maybe went one to attain their level of super stardom and let's face it you know when you talked about it kind of money they're making command the kind of power that I get off otherwise. You're just behind like us."
" They'll -- that I appreciate that I really didn't Monday morning."
" All right I cannot wait you're down there in New York in the belly of movies I cannot wait. To do some jet bashing and we will do that in a minute but first and foremost the Patriots if you were player -- sitting on the verge of eleven wins and knowing. That probably. All of the wind is not can be enough to make the last what would you be thinking to yourself."
" Well I'd be very disappointed certainly and -- kind of an odd thing because they've they've certainly want to be Jets fans this week Patriots fans and the kind of thing but strange bedfellows and that's exactly what they're going to need but. Bill Belichick I think I don't know what he's I don't know quote that after yesterday's game more it was before yesterday's game with amateurs asking him about. Playoff scenarios coming coach Belichick that it just like Bill Belichick always says that the largest coached the football team I don't worry about all the other stuff. And that would really be disappointing especially with the way the Matt Cassel been playing him. The fact that this team has been kept together with veterans and backup running backs and and you know players at a position I -- It's been a real testament to you know in our organization out there but. You know something you know tells me something strange is going to happen here because. That's just the way the other side difficulties and gone that your guards are I wouldn't be surprised if Patriots. No actually come away with winning the AFC east yet again promoted."
" Boomer before getting an inning get in the castle a little bit more you know -- I've been a partisan to a fourteen years I -- you've been a couple bad teams here and air but have you ever seen a team. Like Arizona Cardinals give -- some of the -- par they have come in the visiting stadium and laid down the way they did yesterday."
" Well -- actually got to endure consistently this year -- army got your big day actually or awful when they come back to the east coast for whatever reason -- Double whether you know didn't have a chance to practice and that all -- other on the desert right now probably 75 read not a cloud that guy out there -- so. -- I think that we can understand that it that that there were going to be you know on. A John Jerry last week that you of their team that is not really -- east coast type team the west coast team with the passing game. And anytime you bring in the elements into like we did yesterday. You're asking for recipe of disaster that's exactly what they got."
" Face it there me and -- beat that'll that'll it is sad excuse not only the sun coast team does some good if you have to put it all. You heard that his -- on your finger in the spring -- not meant to come here in December and a game like that at that they never had a shot and they proved that they put it beyond a doubt. -- what they are durable even asking 2 questions this morning so awesome ball to you. And what does this as you perceive the Patriots you look at them and say okay on the verge of eleven wins with note Tom Brady all host of good players on defense. That season is an unqualified. Success you can not second guess any thing. Home Levin wins epic year or used the right to go back and look at some games and say. We can't make those decisions against Indy. Yeah you know Jabar Gaffney holds on the bargains the ball against the Colts and you can stop the Jets. On -- third and fifteen in overtime in that Thursday game if Randy Moss holds on the ball against the Steelers. Do you still go back and play that what if game."
" Are you part of what it gave occurred installment of the playoffs and they just said yourself and it's a missed opportunity that caught the equipment committee video statement. But still say if they get to 115 and if they go in the Buffalo next week when the game. I think it's a tremendous season for the Patriots player then their coach that organization I mean how many. Injuries can be a team to Spain and still be where they are -- mean. You know you just put this self abuse -- York Jets whose letter read in the play orbiting -- them. We can't when he came on the west coast the quarterback looked like a hundred years old would -- forty years -- You've got -- but he's completely. In Albers that we yesterday was in Seattle can't get a team out of fourteen so you know that -- or records. And and it didn't look at that and it would pitchers it would they've done with the backup quarterback who would never started again. I think college never started games in the pros and all of a sudden. This kid as a an unbelievable season yesterday on the Italians out whether it's from a ball well. Itself multi millions. Well it's free agency entry actors so. I think it's an epic season for the Patriots might I think it the great testament to the coaching staff and the players and they do when anecdotal evidence five vote motivation for them not make well."
" Okay you're the second question you look at where they are right now -- OK that's a function of the schedule what I mean three straight wins sort of trending. Good going into the postseason and that's Seattle at Oakland was almost as pathetic as Arizona was yesterday you say yeah okay that's the function of the schedule or -- or if you -- Pittsburgh Indy Tennessee ball ball or whatever if you AFC playoff team would you fear the Patriots in the post season."
" Well -- I would that was because they can throw it against anybody at. And you know Matt Cassel got such a rhythm right now. You know anytime you play at our quarterback which is well obviously Indianapolis has right now. Are they going to beat any team and especially in the and the element that you would have the planet but -- the first week -- the Patriots do in the is he's so. Aram you know they always -- that the football profits and you know -- that he -- and running all win games and out to tutor but it. He -- did not. Some of the better pitchers deeper exchange past years but I think finally be offenses caught up in the of mad at that -- between -- he still -- a -- football and it looked around the league yesterday you look at these teams all have a chance. Secure well first it looked you know that that loss to and -- losing team that you know on paper at least it should be better than so. I don't take any victory lightly union a development certainly nothing surprised me. This week as well."
" Over talk about the them the monetary value you know one up for Cassel especially after the game. Yesterday if he continues to play well next week they get in and somehow they get to the -- around those playoffs. We talked about the franchise tag here for the last three weeks in. Confusion -- what it is you know David Dunn is is agent in this thing get ugly and how long can disco."
" Although it ugly. I can't imagine the Patriots slapped the franchise tag bomb. That the unfortunate for the Patriots there as a springboard for you know Matt Cassel met -- wire to back out which ones stay -- Knowing that you of one of the greatest players in the history of the league coming back. Who's going to be more motivated than any any any he's ever been ward but he knows numbers are competitive. And that Tom Brady given the fact that you know -- the way that they play offense and and you know he's got five or six really good years and -- so -- I think this you know at least from the outs but look you know."
" It would mean like you know he's going to be the last few -- Matt Cassel that they make it to the playoffs and and it goes -- and I would always caution anybody who would go after him with a -- contract. Because you -- to augment what other kind of system and expect to be that they would back the watching. In New England Patriots uniforms I would. That are going to have Matt Cassel played for me I would want to bring involvement or on my next head coach. And just let them you know to keep the car and they don't franchise that I could be something like that happening would be like Troy lines were so so awful. That they would want Scott pioli becoming on the franchise got in -- judgment and take note. And then it would unspent money bring him back out of that franchise hasn't had a quarterback. --"
" I -- Scott Mitchell about -- hundred. While the line and it's got it to the great example if you look like he's a backup behind a hall of Famer Dan Marino who can play if given a shot he goes to Detroit for the young kids to remember big. Looping left hander to -- And Detroit got burned on Scott Mitchell -- I mean. You they would hope that Matt -- that the Jewish I totally agree castles gone."
" There's a lot of about minors birth of the team like Detroit has been such disaster. When you look at -- yesterday guys you'd feel like beat Kansas City game between and beat Miami you looked stand. It's been made media quarter pole -- and O'Neal -- got a problem. A -- and based apathetic. I felt you know -- you know what -- ticket and things of that nature they don't like the coach of the general managers leaving. So you know their team like Cleveland Kansas City and Detroit. You -- Oakland and make the post this so maybe in the next. With the band aids is completely apathetic about it right now the Jets -- And -- this morning and -- itself yet felt of their new stadium -- personal view buys and in the stadium so all these franchises that are -- up franchises. Need -- excitement and it's want to accept my band based. It's been pitcher and I want pioli -- capsule as."
" So laws are. So awesome I hope I hope they go after in my you know whether they'll go or not I went on that a second on the castle thing. I totally agree he's gone to beat teams in need a quarterback he's proven too much makes no sense for him to stay here as a backup. Why break from all view is the point where they can franchise -- betrayed him and I think they absolutely and the and absolutely will franchise to trade and it it people just have to remember to keep what you when you franchise guy. You don't have to pay them. -- sign the thing. Until July -- payment till September you're not paying the guy all you need is the cap space. For that tagged with the -- out of doing what they are most teams are going to have that space."
" And Mike knew they would do that -- they would do that he did want to keep my out of the all of you -- Jets Jets Miami it's all legit the -- and in my drunken sailors down. You know stop and Singapore so I -- I how would I. Not that far as problems on down they gave it gave him thirteen million this year. They would PM -- thirteen in -- and back one back so they they where we have money and spend money. And you know they have a new stadium development to a two years and they get it's almost public's eyes as a person like that on the album. You know it's going to be disaster -- Portions financially but the franchise so is that they've they're going to be spending some some years though here in the offseason -- think."
" Right into for the pitchers and -- the benefit is you get draft picks in return and you can control where he goes I think the franchise and trade thing is the way it's gonna go all right boomer. Jets talk how bad is that what's the appetite right now for the future Eric Mangini. Just set the table on the right now."
" Well you know well you feel a little bit of temperature jet -- work -- that Europe and it. Joe Benigno. And he goes one of the -- guys -- goes on after a credit. -- As -- about all way and I swear to god he wants what this morning and he -- agreement or Eric Mangini had you know yesterday. You know I don't know like really talked about jobs and guys losing -- it doing that if I am part of the brother but I know how hard it is and know how much time these guys. An effort they've put into what they try to get. Sunday and but up but I in some ways after agree with -- there are Mangini -- Kirk made coupled with his yesterday -- Or so major and it all turned out the back are on now. That it looked like he was lost on the 51 actually gave. Seattle Seahawks -- point to the end of the game. That that forces team down by two scores and that decision -- probable player and I. Decision I'm really questioning the top of my head coach and devoted to offer his job today and -- one game lap and you never know honestly it's only and the well although it's unlikely. But -- an additional one on format and the one on. Man Mangini had a count an interesting question will be whether or not my -- Canada on the general manager. Is one save his job because you know he's directly link the both of these."
" If they -- house by the Miami Dolphins next week who is now first me -- Or Wade Phillips the ringleader down in Dallas -- circus."
" Well out there what god you know doubt stolen and thankfully it -- they control their own -- and -- Philadelphia next week in. How much -- the -- that last year. You're on a roll another dangerous game and given a really good players in the deep. I was that they don't make it that well or they lose the first round out and look that that would elected Saturday night all. He's going to want to pound weight poles and -- down there because he again. Remember and other team building a billion dollars stadium trying to felonies you know all all all a 100000. Dollars -- Public approach it like so he's got a lot right on the line three in the -- well but. I would say that Mangini would have to go and I just can't imagine. The New York jet and a supporting their coaching English at one. -- while."
" Yeah Amato the Jets to people to people understand now I guess those in New York who wouldn't watch him every day. That Brett Favre is not that good he's just not that good. His decision making it's overrated his fault or -- horrendous and how does it -- in the pocket there when that first read breaks down it's that. Happy feet sort of back peddling. The second decision never seems to be a good one sometimes he'll scramble audited and that makes the that goofy Brett Favre sort of play -- forward flip. Or third read Bill Parcells that is Vinny Testaverde he told the inning their members take away. His third -- make sure he doesn't get to the third married because if he does it's disasters he given to -- want to go to ball should be out it's a good point but. Our second -- Well as if he's if he's got enough time to run around back there -- by the third guy maybe. But I music his whole game is it's overrated and the more people see at the -- actually I just relieved."
" Well Mike I think Scott would can appreciate it out up it is not a one into the -- have been down here in New York. The entire season telling people just tell or did. Like your your -- and cleanup hitter or first baseman that there and he did give up in the same. Kind of environment -- he's batting in every state in the matter who's playing four or let opportunities and football on. Brett Favre is really really struggled. Oh with this offensively and three or four game period there in the middle NC where he did really play well. Now it took a look at page. And to painful -- watching no quarterback -- demotion. -- line line you know of the magic that once was there listening music first ballot -- and I have a great deal of respect for the man he never missed the game rear it is something to be said about that. He's always take it upon himself try to do you know the miracle what the hand and unfortunately. You know -- for last year's it is -- watched by a panel great great. You know I'm get anything great out of it than not planned well but I I would think that this is that for them he looks -- he looked like it was it was. And really 11 part about the quarterback he's the personality it to rise. The team -- it has the last few weeks offensively. At a point at the quarterback you know does that work that and should be back in. My own personal and now that the."
" Would you like in the AFC right now boomer."
" Well in the Tennessee blow up a lot that -- something yet but it but it still believe. The Pittsburgh great team they're going to be tough to deal with. Ben Roethlisberger. There were were quarterback. You know yet been -- standing at five of -- comebacks this year over. America this year. They're deep and it is still really good. Tennessee was something if they make her -- so shocked everybody the way he played. But who has opened Pittsburgh that can be -- right now. And a but I can't count out Indianapolis Colts with Peyton Manning much like Matt Cassel. If you have a hot quarterback he -- any."
" Or San Diego Philip Rivers if somehow you know they pull this thing out next weekend he."
" I know about that it that is football at a belt poetic job. That's San Diego get shot at Denver at Denver Broncos and a great vision after that the -- first round and then."
" They boomer houses got to earn a foundation doing."
" we're doing great everybody's buying guns going pretty good right now and now -- just deciding on colleges where to go and I think it's going to boil down between Richmond Boston college and Georgetown."
" That pretty good. It at all no no Marilyn we're going to help -- barrel like a number I've got him a while that moment on. All the clock in the yard line."
" As Thursday Friday and I pass at the blue and RJ apparently he's also."
" 100% because -- park watch if you want to go home up the lights thanks but. Okay guys that -- great they've Merry Christmas and happy now okay Americans well."
" That Boomer Esiason everybody here I'm Dennis and Callahan commit next. Matt Cassel teaching."
