" Morning and welcome to Dennis and Callahan first day back. From Fort Myers. Like voter filling in for the boys up -- tremendous weight down the picnic table. In Fort Myers I'm joined by who the hell is this Bob Howry and -- again with the open man. And just opting you know. Doesn't matter who's listening to it and lap in my gums it's good to see you back I know where you've been -- I don't where you've been you know what I've done. Bob is on channel five you can still see regularly weekend news and sports one -- those cross -- guys. -- just one of those guys they abused because -- got -- that they just like everything I think it's they have reached my versatility. I am the at the Alex Cora of the local media. And your affordability Mosley and Alex Cora and he'll no longer see Bob on all access to right at Patriots programming which side is that for you."
" Yeah I miss that and and I'll say out loud to I think the Patriots made a mistake in that regard not that Nen no -- anybody else but they had channel four. You know under their control to some extent with the fifth quarter and they had channel five -- in their product on a regular basis now they -- to one basket a few guys but. You know longer have us the same way you once did so. But no sour grapes or anything like that I think you don't know sour grapes I'm just looking at it from pure business standpoint at that -- you had two of the -- like during the crafts now out of -- does that I'm thinking you know they had a good relationship with channel five and it was. Mutually beneficial and now they've put all their eggs in one basket and I think they'll do fine and not worried about the crafts. And I think the programming will be awesome I have no problem with that either but on the you know would like to I would like this team last."
" And radio wide bobbled on the dollars I would and that has come to an end. Yeah as it happened to him my favorite part now -- tell stories there's when Mike took the game. They said them I told them -- that -- hearing that you know this is really kind of you know tenuous -- last a long time. And it I don't know where we definitely want to get through the football season. It's like okay yes we didn't buy it like the days so we really you know -- to -- football's after the super -- at Tuesday after this I got that right maybe it was a week but I think it was two days after the two nights all -- it -- fun ride ago. While Bob it's great to have you back love to have you and here we got behind the glass you anywhere you -- for march yesterday and -- turnaround and no one else has on the show host and floor. You know you make him cry so they were."
" It's not like. I didn't realize that they're pitching -- you down the line yes although we always yes mocking him Hollywood and cold weather they specify that you appear at night and it did. Yeah image that was. Well I goes in and out from. I got a culture shock the little monster. But well I'm not that."
" That complement. And you realize that right man. Alone doing clashes today. Attempting attempting. The first letting go so now had a tough time finding the height didn't it was mine -- was going. Yet sounded great in your head. As it is this morning at 6 -- I think. It's what went over -- enough. Zero artists here it was like what I was out of the that's."
" Not on you know. I feel -- I have feelings and I didn't for three flip and a three. I appreciate that you rely on my second career. I was down the dialed long before you much further down and yes with a guy who's trying to raise the bar right and down then that didn't work out and I joined you and that didn't work now and here we are again."
" Ought to be an instinct intimate you know talk about they would a second sports station work -- nobody telling me he's the boss so we don't talk about that but Kelly it's good -- you how many times you on this this is my third time all right so. What's the big deal. Not right I'm has many parents are excellent tremendous. Bob we could talk about whatever you want I think stop on Marbury is an interest in talker. Tomorrow NFL free agency starts that is doesn't generate a lot of buzz around here but the -- night. Free agency begins need to sign when you want but more importantly the trade period. Also begins -- this -- Matt Cassell trade off that we've been doing for months can begin amended after midnight if they want to pull that trade I think. They should I think they should you know. What you can't executed trade until after tomorrow midnight. You can be talked to a team anytime you want about it trades I would like to thank. The Patriots have been war in the back channels and have been working out -- trade for Matt Cassel as we speak in. How likely that they could trade him immediately you know I thought."
" Have on the Matt Cassel deal is that we always have wondered how good is he or how much was your product of the system etc. And then they say that Kansas City is a potential landing spot formed -- because they need a quarterback that because Scott pioli is there. If he doesn't land in Kansas City can we read anything into that in terms of what pioli thinks of them. If pioli wanted and needed a really good quarterback you need to good quarterback. An iffy thought Cassel was it was one of those great quarterbacks wouldn't he do what he could to get them and if he fails to do bad or decides not to do that. Then maybe we can wonder how good -- going to be a -- I mean."
" I think the whole -- in Kansas City thing has element to it that. Is. Very unique to that situation and that is Scott pioli is so closely tied to -- and he's. He -- he's one of those guys who owes his reader to bowl ballots and you know the back story. Capital was at Southern Connecticut State as an assistant Gary Meagher is still playing I can't remember one time he was. It is still at Southern Connecticut State budget -- Indiana that just cut out. That he was such a football chronic and fan that he. Would make the trips to Giants training camp just watched Giants took him. And somehow he to a secretary or something new he he -- some sort of connection at the college where they were training and threw that got an introduction to bowl ballots. And bill said -- warrior what do you do what you like football -- To want to bulk up with me and Al groh and some of the Giants assistance and spend a couple days of training. And pioli said yes and heats up on the -- as for a couple days. -- role at that time was why he wasn't the defensive -- I think it was okay to -- at at the time for the Giants. And it wasn't he was the linebacker coach secondary coach she was on. Bill Parcells doubt. With that great Giants team used either the full -- coordinator or. In assistant. And he brought pioli into his dorm room without -- and put him on the couch and spiel is -- a couple -- just watching practice. And from there are Wendell got the job in Cleveland he brought Scott as a low level guy and we went to the Jets got went to the Jets and so. And so now you've spank -- to the point where because there's such good friends they I don't compete with each other I'm getting to the point that's the most important thing yet it didn't look like. Nice ha -- that's because of that relationship. Scott pioli particularly. Be real careful if he gives up too much it's very easy for the people Kansas -- say. You've just got spanked by your daddy's got you just gave up too much to you know emperor did to your guy. So. I think it's very tricky thing it's not that makes it easier for the begin to deal I think it's harder especially if repeal."
" I just want to know if he's going to pursue it. If if Scott pioli is in Kansas City saying I need a quarterback let's see there's this guy this guy this guy -- this guy and they're all about the same to him -- he wants to go into the draft -- goes another direction is he doing because that you might suggest he doesn't want to get involved with Belichick and the Patriots in that whole issue and drama. Or is he doing it because he doesn't have that much faith in Matt -- this is the guy that he helped bring in here selected watch to play for a year and he should know better than anybody else how how talented Matt Cassel is. Therefore he either wants him desperately. -- doesn't think that much of them."
" Maybe it Bob I just at an imperfect thing to say because of that special friendship between him and -- if Woolsey the market will determine pop right yet it was not just Kansas city of if there -- no real interest if there are teams hot after him that I think they have to be you have don't things don't pay any real what you from a financial stamp."
" Point either get the first round draft pick the -- the pay is million dollars to and you don't know you know how good they're going to be or you take NFL quarterback with that many games under his belt with that much success and it cost that much money any and it's going to cost that much but you know which you have much more so than. You know Ryan leaf come in and you know and so -- Matt Cassel even if he's not going to be. 3500 yards 2530 touchdowns some like that he's going to be better than a rookie. Yeah -- instinct it only takes two teams to get a good draft pick and for Matt to make a lot of money because it only takes just a bidding war between two teams aren't with the Patriots won -- you know and they want like a number one -- little don't want that they don't want a top five you know what I mean yeah -- they'd be more likely -- somebody's down in the mid twenties and look at."
" Detroit with their second first -- sitting at one -- when he had lost something like I don't think they want. I know I don't want top three top -- you are number one now to keep winning white -- there's a gap that capsule of the way they would look at it one team you may check off the list is Minnesota was apparently going to trade. For Sage Rosenfels I don't know they. Which treats age pose -- health as their franchise guy or what that would take them out of the Mac Cassel. Running I can't imagine it would but maybe might I don't know that's just something you gotta look at it'll be instant will be a budget teams will LB dot net. What is that pioli factor in the whole -- thing it all begins to -- midnight so that's on the table to. Bobby of course baseball Red Sox steroids I know you're very much -- had so. We could go through all the Red Sox stopped John and Jerry had a great week not -- he was up here. While it and listen that closely. They had a great week Doug picnic table -- their interviews we've got a whole bunch of stuff compiled -- just throughout the morning. Sprinkle in some of their best stop with the Pedroia up with Papelbon. With small that a lot of good stuff it's Papelbon say something interesting he never does. Serena talked about that 2. 61777985888525. Late fifties the phone number Dennis and Callahan at WEEI -- Is email address how about just a little bit of news. Dodgers make a two year offer to Manny Ramirez scored -- multiple reports. The proposal would -- 25 million this season. And includes a twenty million dollar player option for 2010. Ramirez would be able to -- the second year of the contract of re enter free agency next winner if he chooses. Why what's taking so long to -- this one."
" I don't think he wants to go to spring training I don't -- I think this is a perfect scenario for him he can work out on his own get himself ready. And and and and make the Dodgers negotiate against themselves and continue to raise their offer in -- command. You know we're at a point now where he and you know Boris have to understand that they're not going to get a 345 year deal -- like completely gone and so you're talking about one or two years. Pick one and let's move on but I a -- I just wish that some of the Major League teams had the colonies as relate to say. To just say we're moving non you know there's not another team out there interested in many premiere is at least you know as far as published reports etc. If the Dodgers just said. We've had with you. We're going to move on without you were going to give it to a young player and see where we go from there if you're still available in June and were seven games out of first place made rule -- contacted. But at this point we're done. Witten I just -- adamant that what it comes crawling back Jason Varitek asked to the table off from eighteen million off from fifteen million. I mean you you you have jerked us around so much we are so frustrated with you that we're going to try to. Stick it."
" Well do but to see that and I would contend that. What 29 and thirty Major League teams have done that that does me no one's ever even the guy that even though another. Legitimate awful with the giants' interest in him even legit -- thanks for the Mets in April good Wright ran the accused in the throat at all I mean I think. 90% of Major League Baseball has done what you've certainly don't even. What I what I need to deal with humans and as an apparent this though that -- that's coming through here there have been no consequences for his actions. Okay yeah you mailed it and you you know he's he's face those cuts what -- right now now."
" I -- not I think -- 25 million dollar you know if if he ends up with two years at at fifteen million or something along those lines and -- they offer it with an option at -- and things. A -- enters free agency then he still you know multimillion highest paid on his way to Hall of Fame and fans love them you know the whole bit not that happens to -- other than he didn't get his four year deal at a hundred some odd million. -- but I would like to see some consequences for his actions and that you know trying to slap -- on the wrist I'm saying that the real economy of Major League Baseball. Has impacted guys like Adam Dunn and Bobby Abreu and pat -- and whoever else was out there signing contracts who can now produce at a level pretty close to -- mears -- He's not. That guy who hits forty homers and drives and a 135 runs anymore now he's just a guy who can barely play left field and hit thirty home runs in the National League I'm with a hundred RBI you're not worth the 25 million the Dodgers would be in."
" Gracious to offer to write you want to see him punished and I would -- to use that. He has been in relative terms and you just got to take your victories Bob where you can take them and what I mean by that is. He's not appreciably better off. Now that he was if you just acted like an adult and stayed in Boston and continue to hit and one in Boston would have that would to a four -- years at forty million and I would going to be -- it may be 45 -- mean. I'm saying is. It's not like. By doing what he did he was able to bust out and get his five times when he and get another hundred million dollar contract he wasn't. All he was able to do was to basically it's basically stay in the same boat with another team all the way around the country I don't --"
" I don't want to in the same boat okay I want him to suffer like Major League Baseball suffered other than -- CC sabathia and AJ Burnett it's off season and to share. Com everybody else had to like take a little bit of a pay cut or take their lumps and Mariners hasn't had -- if you get everything you want with out of line up -- and all around -- been like that odd suggestion by Dodgers can back out of this body -- thought when he was -- all that crap last year he thought he had a hundred million dollars waiting -- here he did. So he's not when he had you know -- copy with Jason Varitek in the talked about how good things -- going to be back here and now my stock portfolio -- really well and they had -- conversations -- but he did get what he was expecting -- one it's not is not the punishment you want but. I don't think that he. There's no way you can look at it and say well you know that worked but this is this is smack down ready this is the Dodgers Jets today. Not only -- they could nor -- in every network marketing I've negotiate against ourselves. -- we're going to walk away in fact the last RP and is no longer on the table. On the you want to revisit this -- the new parameters started fifteen million and have Manny and Boris just and it like. -- for a moment and then come back to the table and table please please -- that for -- at some point you know million now programs but. I think the Dodgers are in that position they can eight. From a power position right now and they're not their play -- we they're making these and that that's the I think that's ridiculous. It's ridiculous -- Roger ready for this I think this is just a little microcosm of what you're going to see from A-Rod. All season long. He's in case you missed it he was in now what was the need and Florida against the Blue Jays first exhibition game walks to the plate it's broad burger all right some chairs but mostly -- booed as you if he walks to the plate. Second at bat. Goes yard or write about it prop up an air ball and I out. And -- this flu by the way up in the can -- He goes yard just like at bat. And before -- on the bases standing over yet that's. Take me to the person who watched -- stepped up to the plate and booed him vociferously. You of just say I hate you know okay and then he hits a home run in meaningless spring training game and that same person -- you know it wasn't like you know some couple booed and then Yankee fan. It's what they do how you go from booed each year. They're pathetic. Yankee fan and his curtain call is pathetic but don't --"
" Was a a statement that and a -- fans felt like they had to make it wasn't like they really don't -- but the fans of New Yorker not mad they ride for doing steroids baseball fans I don't think are nearly. You know upset about steroids as the media seems to think they are the headlines are much worse than the reaction among the average fan especially the younger fans who couldn't care less and so they made their statement we're supposed to boo this is a communal staying on the -- A-Rod so it's easy it's not like it was a popular player to begin with. But then when he hit his home run they went back to going to -- in baseball fans -- just want to see their guys in their pinstripes hitting the ball out of."
" I think they would during the moment like while that was pretty balls you know yet he's getting booed off the diamond in the second at bat okay so now -- big -- but. I don't I just explain it had no idea but that's what it's going to be like all."
" And they haven't ever -- based on whether or not he strikes out or hits a home run not because the steroids that issue going to die very quickly in New York. Oh I don't agree that all the media is going to continue to try to play it up but the fans don't care while that's what of those comments that people left they overtake the media the fans blah blah blah as if there one entity they're not. Media the fans are completely different in this area for sure fine. When he did -- traveling parks he's on the road when he first of up to bat they use the most yeah that's a steroid group. It's it's it's a down year in the media. -- and you -- nothing negative yes it's it's Alex Rodriguez we don't like you to begin with and now we have a valid reason to boo you but it's not because we have an issue with steroids because of one of our guys have found with steroids we -- cheering them on and we be open media outlets when the World Series. But since you're on that team and you're kind of a jerk to begin with and now we have a reason we're going to police it's going to be for fun."
" As the rest of -- today. He talked the media sign the autographs. And I'm reading the New York this is my favorite after Rodriguez went over some of the products that all the right things during an interview session he climbed into a Burgundy SUV. As -- approached the vehicle the passenger side window went down. And Jiri -- card. Was the man behind real and -- art was his as a I shot about -- not existent for the ball away from all went 3. -- held up a little black bag a little doctors bank instead A-Rod pop and I mean seriously. I mean. With this guy. Can couple to bring you thirty back into the all mean. It's just pound car."
" And don't you assume that A-Rod and it handlers that he's got like six or seven guys in the -- to rise to had a meeting with him before -- interviewed him before at his press conference I'm before he showed up that day. Everything the guy does has to be kind of manipulated now. And somebody let that slip through the cracks -- mean that. That they think that he wouldn't be recognized her or did he blow it by Roland ballot win though the only is that a big you know --"
" Thing is just one of those things all day. You think what else you know wells. Comes of the plate it blew off the field goals are on the secular. Then afterwards joked about his steroid dealing cousins hard the entire media who else does them."
" Now it's and it's about it bone headed move it you've seen off the field that wasn't criminal. It's sort of like if if you were accused of having an affair. And is mistress picked up. You know so that like basically what Margo Adams shelling out -- wade -- on -- part right I mean that's -- with that -- pair of underwear on the am antenna this is on the table."
" Up -- salary and I just generic thoughts on the Boston Red Sox because I know you follow it real close schools is anyone I love this Red Sox team I mean I think the line up. Is not to be is good but I'm really high and their pitching staff the starting and bullpen of their depth of their use. I love the amount of guys that they have. Who could be aces I think there's three of four potentially aces on the staff. And I include Daisuke I think he's going to take another step forward. And I think that they can have a couple injuries in that starting rotation and still have five good ones. I think that they could have a couple injuries in the bullpen. And still have a couple of good setup -- four -- guys Bob. Who you could say could be your eighth inning -- pastors and Okajima. While Ramon Ramirez and Saito. You can have a couple injuries there and still have to get setup -- I don't know if there's another team in the league who -- as much depth. And good young pitching as the Red Sox do this year but we'll get into that are against stop on mar bury is on the table my good buddy Greg Dickerson. Me and him had a good conversation last -- Comcast sports -- hopefully. I asked him to call this morning when he gets off the plane with a team from Los Angeles last night to hopefully -- do that elect Marbury. Last night in the conversation. Well. Who compare Marbury to for a -- you -- Yeah magic Johnson and an Oscar Robert -- that but I I'm not making got out. When we're talking the last I miss the Magic Johnson part it was just. Sometimes you don't hear everything -- talk backs that produces and you are one averages. Start thinking about the next question I artistic -- right. I asked when he started talking about Magic Johnson -- summaries. It. Got stuff that bought modeled our guys are getting the candidate oh a cross -- Oscar Robertson and Magic Johnson with stuff on blogger and -- continued back conversation with predictable legal pollen.
