" like them there. Mayor gets kicked around in this column that or no it does now. Like them you know who else like -- big game James Stewart who saved his life. And 2008 at. The proper credit or -- away and the trophy you must -- the -- you must vote for the mayor right you don't want any competition. The mayor has been mayor of this city -- Michael any clarity in the history of the planet. And the mayor mayor of this city I think. Mayor anymore. And it will be like the mayor now that I fixed. Because -- who now I have to admit. Sometimes. Mike -- English dictionary. Get the one thing and you know confront front the -- problem. The open eyes. And it was concise. Clear it's sort Boston as the global city doing what. Then again that's army and you can tell me everything he says here you get it out all the parking hockey. Game. And it. Excellent. Excellent by drawing out. The world you know that was he -- on our fans from around the world picture wallet out. Get your wallet out about this instead -- get up this pop would have been. It's the little radio lie. We call it a radio lie like the lightning round and I -- sports would be a radio light -- I I you know I'm thrilled that they're playing winter classic at Fenway Park it was the worst kept secret history of sports. However in my humble opinion is again. Further evidence that the NHL it's grew up -- one car you. I mean bringing it -- a park. Genius obvious. Everybody thinks it's going to be New Year's Day great. Absolutely no problem -- at some of these winter classics and other cities now about last year's winter classic okay New Year's Day last year. Wrigley Field -- got perfect -- At the Chicago Blackhawks and that he might -- The stuff you can't do better than that okay that's exactly what you want operate winter classic you want."

" May we we're going we're going way back we've got the lead that you met them but it'll -- the way -- we got a legend. Recording how one way. Where Bobby hall once played. All the Blackhawks in their red wings two original six city's original six franchise has gone head to head at Wrigley --"

" We will now this is sort of an easy questions and multiple choice question that they don't even -- the hockey."

" Have to have some basic knowledge."

" I say to you okay the Bruins play midwinter class and normally park New -- that answer who they can play Canadians don't even think twice -- I mean you don't even. It's you don't even sit and think about a second choice you say Bruins Canadians that white park all my god. Pick itself. A 100000 take -- you know."

" You know what it would be a great move not only historically but -- for contemporary example -- for what's going on right now Montreal. Has made some nice little sightings here in the offseason. -- be much better than the eight see we we last saw. Being swept up in the playoffs and Jack Edwards going crazy. About -- turn up the lights it's all over here on the Bruins a -- not. The good team so you just one -- a reason in 20092010. To have the Canadian -- when you got that but you want to let --"

" outlets say NBC says to Gary Bettman. C'mon. We gotta have two Americans okay. I understand Bruins Canadians it's like you know Celtics lakers it's like Red Sox yankees but I gotta have two American teams this is NBC now. You know were going to be doing its thing nationwide I need a couple of American cities in this thing. So Batman. -- NBC and that okay fine we want at the Canadians. And Americans. While he got a few options here. Start with the penguins. Stanley Cup shock and are right now I'm not get -- great young player on Gary Bettman and I say you know they were just that winter classic in buffalo so. The different the place and play in the game. I say it's -- NBC. I understand -- want Sidney Crosby and Balkan ala the defending Stanley Cup champions. I can't do Pittsburgh is they just played an outdoor see if he actually right now let's I don't know but I would when he says something like that why don't think so -- complained that he would say something like that then he doesn't deserve and commissioner -- leading you down on the path to Rangers logical. All the -- You've got the New York media market you've got the Bruins Rangers rivalry which is not Bruins Canadians but it pretty darn good okay. And and now you got the rabbit Boston market which will keep you very good TV numbers especially per game at Fenway Park. You got the New York media market which is gigantic to begin -- and we'll get pretty darn good numbers for a game at Fenway Park. On the list go to the flyers because the -- and explain. The flyers -- after the capitals to me. I greatly after the tampering of -- into Fenway Park I got it. -- I I -- point and it's still shape the problem is. Yeah all while at the flyers who doesn't want there will be glad -- there will be you know what the commissioner doesn't want that force the ball I mean the NHL don't wanna sell that aspect. To a national TV audience they wanna sell Sidney Crosby. Alexander Ovechkin you know a good young Bruins team yet they wanna sell it that's what they have Bruins flyers -- I just I don't get that classic I I -- everything. About this game. Except the upon this. Capacity at at at Fenway for this game is still. -- 37 I can't imagine 37000. Now. It can actually be higher and glitzy -- here so late game at forty or let's -- forty for the sake of our art. Now. Probably salad out just because it's an outdoor game at Fenway Park let's -- it probably. It. You make it. You make it more than a hockey game. If you're playing the storied Montreal Canadians. On the hallowed grounds of Fenway Park with a monster connect with -- too late. Too -- for them change their minds. Active and don't sell well. Now. It will little bit right right here here's what I fear they'd like it was -- a lot of real game. -- buy tickets. Sell every Rangers game. Rangers fans the 200 miles by whatever -- not necessarily. I opted got they didn't get that I don't know I'm having the Columbus Blue Jackets were available years that we couldn't. -- available probably the Phoenix -- Phoenix Coyotes would make sense because at least -- Wayne Gretzky. But. All I got another another good back upward. Wednesday. -- and that makes an idol. On here. I've got schedule in Mexico and you make them come out of people that I just. Everything out with great army right up until point -- gave me the opponent. Right for for wants don't have a single thing you can set your body that's fairly well. I looked back in the mayor announced this yesterday. I have two days of public skating for the each. I mean -- up -- skates. The opportunity skating around at Fenway Park winter day he. Skipped the -- from school between Christmas and shore before this whole thing is said and done you'll -- you played BC is part of this whole thing same. But plight while it got if she device at Fenway park at that at some point out. Everything's great. What I'll be. I don't know I don't know -- and understand. I am a Major League now. -- are charred more of the national hot not -- on Havanese. Believe me out of its way at all as I said. In the Philadelphia Flyers just. She here. Give me anything the second gas. Thing and tell me it's the Canadians I got nothin' like inspecting gas. The Rangers. Probably he would second guess march. I can always give the Rangers and you could -- the name it's the only and I just I I. Have a feeling NBC said in a minute to Americans. Are. -- that -- American options yeah. -- I think that that there better American options on the flyers -- 12 miles to the south but. Big game James integrity does that might hear Joe Hagerty reported on W yeah I've -- that -- BC made the call flyers. NBC meanwhile they'll see now it's even dump. If Jerry Batman actually allowed NBC to dictate the -- even doubt that I am delighted surprise the same thing happened during the finals. I'm not allowed and in any -- Manhattan have back to back games since Stanley Cup finals. I would you view that NBC could and should say to Batman. We've really got to. New Year's Day. Two in this on national TV and it cost us over there with my old you know we're gonna do it all up I am on fine with that. If NBC actually said -- or not we want. Don't tell me what it. Would you -- my partner I understand you need to American teams OK with that and tell me which team to stick in fairness it's going to be fun. Sure sure sure NBC -- NBC fox NBC tells NHL. What to do what time to be there the whole cliche jump may say job NHL says how high. The New Year's Day this year I don't know -- We'll check I don't even tell it it obviously will be after new game that's what they did for. Chicago Detroit that's what they -- or bought low. Pittsburgh was kind of late afternoon. It is a Friday it's Friday alone weekend turning into a weekend thing. I loved everything about it except the opponent I can't wait to see. And I hate I hate to break this -- to be here. Probably not going to be great for couple pieces they have yet to figure out a way to perfect this outdoor race. There are issues with the buffalo at the snow issue which screw it all up it's hard to keep good ice surface outdoors like this. You know it. It probably not going to be great hockey. But it going to be great atmosphere it's going to be great actor -- can't wait to see what it looks like. That want to beat the and Brent -- this is going to be fun is. That commissioner. It. Yet the well at the re tired. Loosen up a little bit about how you spend your withdrawal my last night. Not a big game James watched the minor league All-Star game at 10 o'clock I was late for cliff Buchholz pitched. I I elves -- about it -- gonna happen I'm sorry to mark. I I I could not watch another channel with wins poke at company. Is poker the default button. -- don't have a sport that you push the importance that poker on that channel now."

" It's pretty tough mean you look at. Which bush had the option. That I did a few nights ago few nights ago believe it was Super Bowl thirteen was on. Cowboys Steelers yeah. Until I love that kind of stuff that a good old time -- football game or old Donny baseball game to watch. Would have been into that but. Speaking of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh and Dallas. This is to so it's a random comment you asked me softly and almonds every income but. We have these debates all the time who would win the 2003 patriots or the 78 -- questions that can't be answered yes again. They caveat -- watch the game. And when your kid. All these guys seem larger than life. Ted but they're all smaller than light. Show and as -- out during the game because on NBC. Record -- about him. Going over the -- Jack Hanna. Looks like Quincy. Now -- again."

" It may. The -- and Jack -- any. -- real."

" It is hard to it under those early -- it's my aunt and an example we just had the opportunity we were the tradition a few weeks ago. And you run into Jon and -- as you said at the family reunion of Boston sports -- and talk on for human. He weighs less now the -- it would play. I'm relatively speaking -- down on Mondays and Fridays at Gillette Stadium talking with the 568. Maybe maybe. You know tackle Matt Light Logan Mankins -- Richard Seymour and in -- how -- physically. Obviously -- it's all right to."

" There's not and that not football basketball. You can do it and baseball you can do it because he's got a pop and 4050 home runs without the right so they can still do and me it's all about that I hand eye coordination and in -- strong wrist. That we saw from Hank Aaron 511185190. But in football. Your off with a line gonna do."

" Richard Norton Seymour Ty Warren and Vince Wilfork I mean it widgets. -- I went off any. It's hard for people picture because when you're watching the old games on TV. It's still relatively the same size. You know it's the same thing when you're watching game today on TV. You don't have a sense of how big these. Because it's eight and now this -- the line against that offensive lineman -- acute -- really does a lot of big guys run into each other and when you're down there. When your actually. Or or watching a game in person or if your -- on Monday or Friday like we do every week. -- Teddy Bruschi looks like little -- Relatively speed compared to the -- that -- He's Andy's. He he would abandon monster back in the day of those Steelers teams. Guy -- the defensive -- up with what you what color flip. And I'd -- basically that was housed all replaced channels serve and duplicate for anything -- interest I I I did not might television. That's that you are a noble guy now now that you are you are on a different playing in the arrest them. I've read the Dustin Pedroia book a recovery mr. What kind of -- Well I think mosquitoes that -- that's about it. I got I've read some in the afternoon to do stop them. A little bit -- afternoon and then from after supper until 11 o'clock last the entire that this is not the grapes of wrath. Well -- the belt all. Like try to slog through show the -- I technically there's the man once -- It here we'll talk more about it later on and I hope we attempt to talk to dust and about it. I've found it interesting -- is too. Old to. It's Dustin Pedroia but the authors again and Edward Bellini from Rhode Island. And you were saying -- did the ball with Tedy Bruschi one of the hardest things for you then was with writing in Haiti's voice. You know it it this is Michael Holley talent this story is that it's eight orient Uga Uga on and talk -- right. Well give Edward Kelly credit. He's Dustin Pedroia because as you're reading this thing. -- Dustin Pedroia is is writing this mean physically sitting at the typewriter typing this book sounds like in it plays like him. He's got the Dustin Pedroia voice. And it's interesting. It's. We all know that you know he's brash and bowl Lebanese. And I love oh there and every team he's ever -- They start with. Is. An -- problem."

" I'm amazed that you read the book. Last night. -- well I guess this is a lot about what went with a lot of viewers or is -- a lot about what kind of book it is it's a quick."

" pretty quick -- Alter ego I thought orange and orange -- I I don't -- I were not right click I don't wanna make it sound like a 120 page -- yet and I don't wanna give the wrong impression it's it's a book like. The same size is 83 -- to rent is -- color brown and you knew it knocked it out. It was. Was on it was it was an enjoyable -- I hope we get a chance -- I'm throwing well. I'm sure well because -- now that he's in the publishing world you know publishers -- get the word out about their favorite I'd give -- my favorite line could be too difficult. Get a month. My favorite line in the book he's played them the -- And you know what he's fine how he -- lasers all over the place yet. Any sane thing you know come to welding goggles -- Europe McCoy stadium and see the Dustin Pedroia lasers jail I mean that's how toxic things then. It was on it was a it was a good -- nine -- it will talk with -- but I hope at some point --"
