" that you beat me. Running a company. Your world delivered. Sports Illustrated SI dot com and -- sports. Is our -- in the morning Peter."
" Good morning bill good morning Michael how are you you're going. I'm doing great Michael I have to thank you president tremendous. Email he except media day welcoming me to the neighborhood and everything that was a really really nice your listeners should know it. Even launcher a lot. Sink -- You're absolutely. You're really good guy. Like -- want to thank you for that that was fantastic."
" No problem -- but you know what Peter I don't think we've had you on the hairs that you officially became a neighbor a resident of Boston's oh welcome that now. Your Boston -- other field."
" It's part of -- culture shock had been. Suburban kid -- 51 years now going to be a a city guy so I it'll take some getting used to but. My wife and I are really happy there could be in town and we're excited about the note this city and and walk in instead of driving everywhere which is one of the things were both really excited about."
" You know what I act that have to write myself for reminder I'm gonna do right now after. After a year on the air here when security now is. When I said that about you are remembered three or four more places that I should have mentioned. -- articles so."
" Yeah I didn't -- do about like will never it really felt like will never hit all. You know all that nice places to get coffee -- all that. The good restaurants and places just visit. What other things it's really great. About Boston that was starting to appreciate. It is just let. You know wherever you go there's an interest in neighborhood. You know having just starting to get to know it. And -- in the -- and then. And any driver out to be -- got here while optical place technique I mean. All than brightened our all these places that I really don't know they're they're they're really cool."
" How is the coaches breakfast this morning."
" I've been telling people there was one of the great moment to probably. -- greatest moment I just let Josh McDaniel. And one -- great moments in coaching breakfast. History. There's every year on Tuesday and Wednesday they do that. They of the AFC coach is one day and the NFC coaches one day. And so today. At the end of the breakfast. All the coaches. Of the original AFL team. -- The patriots. Denver. Oakland San Diego in the city. That all coaches stood up with security."
" They're gonna -- Opening weekend because. With this being the fiftieth year. Of -- this would have been the could be seen an idiot well. You know what that happening I think the NFL. In its merchandising wisdom want to get all the seems aware or regional -- so all the coaches held up this Jersey. And what was great is that the Denver Jersey. Was number six Jay Cutler. Golf. Any guilt or strip it out they're hoping that Girardi. And everybody in the place you have a flash ball in the cameras that I went up to what I said. Bloody got to turn out sports center tonight at 6 o'clock that'll be the first thing -- It was just it's just really funny because I think all of us sort of in the football world. This is a maelstrom. Right now. It's crazy it's a storm. -- Arctic Josh. 34 times over the weekend central this hit. Amber at this week for Sports Illustrated. And one of the things he's said to meet today was one of the things that eight he learned from Bill Belichick beef. Will hold him in very good stead. As he goes through this. Crazy story in the next few weeks and that is that. Condoleezza Rice on Sunday night. Former secretary of state. Addressed. All the teams -- front offices. Wives. Girlfriends coaches everything like that. And this is the first year if they allowed the media and to that. And a few of us sat back and watched it Condoleezza Rice stood up and said. The arc of history does not all it's on the eight day focuses on the long term. And I said to myself that is socked it right now that -- in it was really neat here I'd mention it on today said. Absolutely. Right -- or listening to that said that was totally applicable to our situation. And -- going to happen guys. If it's Jay Cutler saying it's gonna get solved. One quiet days. In the middle of April. With nobody watching nobody listening. Nobody paid any attention until it land all the TV cameras are off. And I -- I believe. Just -- being is determined to get this salt that I believe he will get its -- at some point in the next. Currently an -- for five weeks."
" Another thing Josh mcdaniels could have said you -- from Bill Belichick was a choir as many draft picks as possible what do you think the patriots are going to do with that boat load of draft picks that they have now."
" And I get another ring yet stated 97 pick overall from. Losing. A socket Samuel. In free agency last year the patriots -- In a lot of ways Michael the patriots are peak power brokers in this draft. I'll tell you why. Nobody underline and nobody wants pick in the top six acre tent. I wrote Monday morning quarterback a few weeks ago it -- the patriots 7233447. -- Of those tricks. Is equivalent to the -- pick in the draft. -- say -- how can that -- well it's because the picture on the top ten -- gotten ridiculously out of control. In terms of what they're value is in have to pay forms some now. Well I think you're going to see -- teams like New England. Being able to treat. Let's say 34 pick in the draft. True. Then they ever could have in the past because the value of tricks. Chase for sixteen to forty. Years significantly higher than it was three and four years ago. Not only because for the month well maybe about five -- six years ago. Not only because of the money but also because. This junior class this underclass. Group of players there'll be more. Junior's. Take in the first round I'm -- up 1820. Then in any draft in NFL history. So what that does it just makes all the tricks. Some say the middle the first round of the middle of the sector are all that much more value also. Break the patriots -- whatever they do we're going to do very well between now on the draft."
" I -- the -- around the NFL is that Tom Brady's going to be fine. That was partly behind their willingness to trade Matt Cassel but not everything. That he's going to be fine and and ready to play that Monday night game against the Buffalo Bills."
" Yeah I wouldn't have any question about it dale I don't thank. I think we hear a lot more. Smoke signals. -- pending -- that we are. I think other then that time late in the season. Where there was some thought that rehab wasn't going well. He wasn't going to be ready to play I think other than that this thing has been pretty much a flat wire and I'm pretty sure he's gonna be ready to play and he will not be. He will not beat -- eight -- anyway."
" Peter I know how much respect you have for your colleagues so I'm wondering where you came down. In this. This has not really a back and forth between these guys but -- conflicting reports. Adam chapters as 99 point 9% sure Julius Peppers will not be a patriot Vick crew -- says there's a deal in place. What what's what's what's --"
" I just don't think peppers sits with the patriots. Myself. And you're right I don't like excite this note -- Elektra both those guys. But. I just don't see it happening the patriots. Got rid of Matt Cassel. Two and Mike Vrabel Cleary. They have too many guys aren't deep -- to worry about signing. In my opinion it'd be ludicrous. To bring in -- guy and pay him all that money because what it would mean is that right thank. Whether it be. Wilfork Richard Seymour. He'd retract outright war vote and vote right -- from now. And who don't want to open -- guys. In -- look at some. The patriots might be able to go crazy trying vote on but I don't think it's what they want to do I don't think it -- prep blocked become George Steinbrenner. But I think clearly if they get Julius Peppers they could afford it this year but then they get better really operate. For chronic ear in 2000 and which everybody thinks you're gonna be -- If they or their hatred -- suffered from real major losses in my opinion."
" Where you're talking about Josh mcdaniels earlier made me think of the AFC west and how dysfunctional the division is except for one team you know obviously the situation with Cutler mcdaniels. Other raiders are perpetually. Dysfunctional. Even this year there's. A bit of that's not a skirmish but a disagreement. Between AJ Smith and LaDainian Tomlinson one team we haven't heard much from at all Kansas City. What do you think is going on there and what do you expect Scott pioli and Todd Haley you're doing your crazy."
" Funny except and I life and I would vote Haley and literally just -- snort certified minutes ago. They're talking about -- Tomlin and looked me square in the face and said they expect achieved when the Russian -- here. And I might look like c'mon. I think carries 300 or more times. He confused."
" Yes it's about its physical condition right now so we'll know. Light east -- unexpected thirty. All over are not all over the most -- On its heart speed or regular player out yet I'd be a hundred -- try Kerry died in May yet guy to beat -- tailor it to be in a special four back great. But I'm just not sure that it works -- Todd -- you know what. What did you -- belt it needs. Started to overcome the leader right you know think about the -- it's."
" Don't think all the soccer because right now he's got Brian water -- offensive -- he -- out yet Tony Gonzales. Not saying anything but their body of -- knows that he which treated to a contender. Only two left Larry Johnson want -- My feeling is if I were pioli I'd get rid of at least two of those guys. Because long term. They're not gonna BD excerpt for you and short term. There could be mope around the locker room what you need is. You need a guy like Mike Vrabel took it over comedian elite guys who want to lead. And right now. There's too many guys on that -- might -- out more than they want to be part of the loose."
" Peter did Dick Jauron want to Rollins on his team."
" I'm all did -- categorically because. I call that. That she and management the bills. Namely it you know mainly they're they're -- that became general manager. Basically. Sprint and basically really wanted. To take it -- Yeah I can't save a conversation I had with -- in the weekend that this happened. Dolan. -- We error. If you haven't noticed that the last year. Not make the playoffs. Have not been a threat in the teen pop -- division. And I think particularly appreciate it they do great that was center around what -- patriot it'll. And you don't tell it nobody nobody or really hear it in and Ralph well that a lot harder talk about it much but the fact is. Well and ninety year old -- doormat. Doesn't have much on on this team. Ralph well then this was a little and I wish that I thought it -- In the when all this starting. You know where could deal go well welcome that natural that it will work things can happen -- immediate. And teach any these blow up -- may have a black men November. A lot what you can't fit what champ a vocal bill. You know whatever they do if they if they didn't do that they -- very good -- anyway so. I have to think that it pretty good gamble and yeah if you were asked me I think it -- gamble -- picture I'm very interest didn't take."
" You think he was unhappy that he didn't show up yesterday."
" Was because. The paint them a lot of money by Buffalo's standards and they know that it can be watching them. You know I was told yesterday they what they wish capitalist that apparently -- which show -- per week. And you know they get a bunch of pictures immortality. He made to -- beat a guy. Which it now I know all in. You -- fitness Beatty he's ready now. Sort it out a barely out of this Philadelphia career when I was on speaking terms of -- excite truck apparently confirmed that he was worked out three times a day. It would leave a lot of art practice and -- don't work out like at 9 o'clock at night in -- gym near where he was living in New Jersey. I mean this guy this guy eight. We'll be and ridiculous -- but that really isn't the point it's almost -- simple result it is the point. Again I don't think it's gonna really matter much in August. All right I think what matters now is just -- rich in symbolism of him not being there on the first day and obviously they wished that he laws."
" so funny when you said. When I was on speaking terms with them. And we all just took it because it's natural we understand it of course. It every relationship with Terrell Owens is going to be. Is it going to be pretty short anyway of your rational person."
" Yeah I mean an eight. You know to each his own and and you know Ito -- east patches with people heat cover and you're right about over the years but. He's just going to be one of those guys right now. Yeah it no matter whatever happened Oliver speak to him again but it -- have been."
" Look if you were asked me right now. -- what are likely -- a player I would say we each section of the fact you don't want games starts with the exception of the fact that he drops all too much. You know he's one of the best wide receivers -- arc -- is that good not to make can't someday. I have my doubts because I don't think you can then. On duke in. Separate. Is it you know what he does well what he dosed orally. And you know what because orally is. East -- misses too many. -- it's too many drops. And you know obviously the each don't know how much it took to put on him all the time but clearly divisive element some that age that not so are all he's been on well."
" Be hard not a kid with those numbers -- Peter."
" Maybe. I mean. And I'm not I'm not I learned in this thing to never make any judgments and we have some time to think about it I mean it was talked about. You know. What our. If your Barry Sanders I think its -- specially built always talked about Margaret heiress and the other day a terrible course the first ballot all straight. You know I don't get arguments the guys but I have said what result chamber anymore then. I can think -- twenty guys like it -- not take any speed eleven years ago. Gordon had the numbers that are terrorists and has today and I'm not saying that should clued him should be pretty at all -- nor should it make him an automatic. She isn't all the same but have something that Leo all electric heat from experts."
" You know he reference up an earlier and I have to stand here and say. I've been I've been misinformed and and -- ignorant on this because I I thought there was no chance. That the owners. In. Were unanimous on wanting an uncapped year but. Most of them do based on what you what you're hearing."
" I don't I don't really think so I think I think if you if you poll this group. If you told them that they can -- cap your next year. We live -- new labor agreement they would all want that but what Michael just remember one thing about one and uncapped year next year -- There are some different rules if spirit and uncapped cheering if they entered an era of labor agreement want. Free agency goes for four years current trick or treat the -- six. So they're gonna be a lot shorter chill. Quality free agents out there because the art degrees for a four year. A V you know circus I six. They are saying here. It ain't nobody been talked about this fact merely read it -- every couple times and nobody understand -- that she realized that. Here is Kryptonite capture. The top is cheap. Given the track income and that the top eight teams. It was standings. And it you don't want strike breakers are great but the best eighteen football. In 2009. We'll -- recording. For participating. Free agency next year until the point that they walks. Player of the -- out so other words. If it seemed like patriots. Wanted to -- buying somebody free agency you know one of the top teens bet speaking of football this aircraft but the player. All votes will greater value trucks for a lot I think that guy. So I mean those are things that. I think some owners think that particular exhibit some owners also -- well -- that expects that's going to hurt us but pretty. The players are not total focus. On. And so I I think that's stop them but wants players start to realize. All. -- free agency. They might pressure player rep or. Worse at the new NFL PA executive director. It'll -- a little bit more to try to get it."
" I have a feeling we'll see you at Fenway Park opening day."
" Well all share -- beat air but I I will be there."
" OPEC but the question is. Going to be 27 degrees."
" Problems -- probably gonna. And it."
" What the heck is going -- right to organize. Skip spring goes directly from from what are some."
" We always do we -- with you -- in the -- so. Did you body if you go live very got to get used to that."
" I well like I used to that that that speak to art."
" Peter it's always fun to talk football with you enjoy San Diego and we'll see you back on real so. Decorator that is up Peter King from Sports Illustrated SI dot com and BC sports our neighbor now. Lives in the neighborhood just down the street here don't be surprised the wonders on by the studio here at some point in the near future -- he will."
