[21:33] ..." think HE EL he's gotten off in the end zone. Covered by Champ Bailey in my house is going to have some complete coverage obviously they're going to put their best guy out of and he"...

[0:00]" Peter King will join us though at this very moment Peter King brought to you by Fred seat Church insurance because it's not just the policy. It's the people but he Peter King is on line hey Peter I don't. That didn't work there we go let's try it this time."

[0:14]" Peter how are dale I want you great thank you score -- I'm Mike. I wouldn't quiet and I just told I just told Jimmy -- I'm sitting here. In my Tampa Bay race tortured and gone over to the dark side. -- Michael doesn't want to hear that he's rooting for the Phillies in this. Yes and I'll just because the rays beat the Red Sox and I'm tired and tired of that story that you love so much. That worst defers to him how great as Joe Madden and look at this team with that and I'm tired of that story I don't. It's not funny to -- med sit holding court and say that nobody got this got three weeks ago. And an area of the great philosopher of baseball. Itself it's funny."

[1:02]" Yeah I'm tired of the act and you know what Peter you know it's very well living close to Philadelphia -- ninety miles away or about a hundred miles away. Haven't had a parade in a while and that's it deserves a parade although they'll disagrees with him now."

[1:17]" There are no worse stands on the planet -- And yeah -- tell -- I."

[1:21]" Just -- I just noticed a lot of people will go. Well ensconced in very neutral clothing as Giants fans down in Philadelphia. If you're not demonstrably rooting pretty eagle. And Eagles Giants game they assume. That you are Giants fans -- load -- crap anyways you know if you -- pretty decent amount Fenway Park insecure and for the other team. You know and you just -- around bid that nobody can argue but in Philadelphia -- that smoky out of Philly."

[1:54]" they've got to fight you on the late in the again. You'll inadvertently became part of the story again this week as concerns Brett Favre and who we talked to and we didn't talk to him when he talked to. Let's go through -- of people understand what Brett Favre told you and then what he subsequently told the media on Wednesday."

[2:16]" Well. Eat eat all I've tried to explain this to a few people and it's funny I mean. It in today's day and age still where where people who are reporters like me. We need everybody asks us what our opinion is. And we only have their opinions on things I -- at the bottom line is my job Corey NBC. Okay used to be an NFL reporter it's not the sit up there. Like Collins lord sir or Kiki you're cure all look I don't know whatever and say this team stinks and it seems to it and that's not my job my job is. We news -- When Tom Brady goes down with a knee injury in week -- to try to find out as much like canned by 7 o'clock that night so I can tell America. What it is that that we now. And so that was just in case -- that's when you hear. -- poured on TV that says in essence. That Brett Favre gave the Detroit Lions at six even ninety minute tutorial. On how to beat the Green Bay Packers before they played earlier this year. That's obviously going to be a news story and so I immediately text did Favre who was in Oakland. Either in his hotel room -- army bead on the ball out some way to gain I don't know and any. Text -- Beckett -- that the reporters total BS. I'd you know it's ridiculous. I'm angry about it and am paraphrasing obviously good total BS things right and then. Obviously being. Fairly close to the time of the game I couldn't get Rod Marinelli Iranian alliance coaches but I doubt he. That the chief operating officer of the Lions dining probable aren't who had heard this story to talk to their coaches and told me Peter. Our coaches say that they would not coached by blitz -- before that game. I reported those two things and in essence. That became about the only comment eager from the Lions welcome part. Any. In the next three days Aaron the next two days and then on one debate part of hedged his bets. And hard and -- basically said. He did talk to Matt Millen but I did not give them any secrets. Case so that's where we are right now I am. It's part of our yesterday -- blanks about this. And there's no question that obviously talked to Millen they did talk football. It was nowhere near sixty to ninety minutes. Any any did not. That that the -- bad tutorial on how to beat the Green Bay Packers now he did talk football and obviously. I wish I'm it's Sunday. That I did not all of that Brett Favre and had communication. We've we've Matt Millen. I'm I didn't know that I think are -- so angry. At the report Ed Ed. Green Bay Packers to the Detroit Lions which. I can tell you right now absolutely he did not do. But did he talk to them and did what did they talk about football topics in the Packers and what he thought about. I think he did it now I don't know that's for sure I think he didn't and so clearly. The truck it is critics he wasn't total BS what are called me. But I don't think it was. It was anywhere near to the to the extent. At least that I know of right now that was recorded on TV of the."

[5:56]" Well Peter we're going to need you to help to help us sift through. Some media reports when it comes to Tom Brady ESPN has won today. The Boston Globe has another take the LA times is another taken the Boston Herald has another take. What do you know about Tom Brady and this surgery that is gone around."

[6:15]" Well I mean I can. You know it's funny a lot of times in stories like just the best thing to do is to look at what an outsider successor thanks and I think. This story -- same problem in the LA times today. In the most illuminating story. Overall. And that is where he quotes James remembers who has been taken so obviously that or compete it's 22 is star athletes and all sports. I gifted Reggie Bush to surgery on Monday -- means done many many athletes over the years he acted as a consultant to the city. Surgeon. Who did -- who did -- Surgery in in in Los Angeles. And said that it's sound like you're being very aggressive to try to make sure that. Lead graft of this patella tendon. As the new ACL. Humble which is a very very common procedure a lot of people here -- graft I got what blood yeah I understand some went HTM was torn. You basically have to take what is the closest. Material to an eight -- type material whether he'd beat sometimes some surge in the grass -- hamstring. Off and -- surgeons like to do to tell attendance some surgeons like to take. It HE held off cadavers. Obviously this case they took a graft from the Patel ligament. Or patella tendon to be the new -- Seattle and it sounds like. That it is that there are optimistic that the grabbed. That is serving as the new ACL Camby -- but. -- you know beyond that I don't know a lot because obviously the Patriots keeps such tight lipped about not. I'm not -- your reporting but it is priority guess right now I would guess I would guess that. And that they will be able to say it is not I just know one other thing I called 1 team doctor this morning. Quite know an over the years I can I can't ask about his own team but I can just ask a medical questions. And I said how what's the procedure that's likely going to happen from what you read know what you know about this situation right now. And he said well and you look at his watch and he looked is it the date at his watch and he goes. Okay you know -- until late October. So it's probably going to be at least four more weeks where he treated which is. Where that I'd be your type by chaotic. Which means in essence Tom Brady will have an IV antibiotics stuckey into his arm. For the next month and you know he can travel around he can do things it's supportable deal. But he'll have that in his arm and they will just hope that that takes care of it -- intervening time it could be. That when they examine the the surgery. That that they'll they'll go in and and maybe just try to flush it out clean it out as Anders said. In his comments to Sam farmer -- Again it's I feel like -- stayed at a Holiday Inn express last night and somebody invested in medical question wonder why no other than. All right can do is try to call doctor whose advice I respected over the years. And try to figure that out my gut feeling and all this. Is that it's sound like the graft can be saved in the infection can be conquered but again I just think there's no sure thing about it right now."

[9:43]" Are their bounties in the National Football League."

[9:46]" I think there are just saw it by ten minutes ago. Two -- also just issued a statement through the Ravens PR department saying that. You know we got we thought we try to knock you know knock people around but in essence. We don't have a literal bounties or guys get paid for it. In my opinion I think he's trying to. You know I think he's trying to you know city media. See this title little bit on this one because I definitely believe they're bounties. I -- team wants. And and walks to coach hand. A safety on this team. Fifty dollars on Wednesday after a game. Because he got the special teams into the weekend and -- just extra money it's weird when you called it. There's two different things incentives. You -- off the books incentives. Where are making great plays. And that's a little bit different that's what I just talked about you know and he it's it's a little bit different from saying. We have a bounty out you know you get if you -- to give a hundred bucks each is indeed beds if -- toward its carried off the field during this game. I do believe that there is some. Oh if I'm not saying it's with the Ravens but I do believe it's some teams. Have an unspoken unwritten code. That's -- Hey if Hines Ward actually beginning of the guy knocks -- out of the game is going to get a little financial remuneration so I do believe that happens. And whether I had heard after the first Ravens Steelers game. That the Ravens were furious with two blocks in particular that ward made away from the play. And that he was going to be -- every defensive player's mind when they met no rematch later in the year in Baltimore."

[11:43]" Peter do you need. The Titans to beat the Colts before you believe that they have a complete control of that division or or are you already --"

[11:53]" I don't I don't need to -- it all and I'll tell you I'm Michael I'm actually writing the Titans in my Monday morning quarterback column this week and this is all you need to know about the Tennessee Titans right now. First of all nobody can move the ball aggressively regularly. Steadily under defects we all know that. We've been watching that Kyle vanden Bosch is the energizer bunny there's nobody plays as hard as he does. Albert and work about half the snaps of the game. Is the most dominant defensive player -- football any -- takes some snaps off. But he's a great football player Keith -- I mean it. Cortland Finnegan probably had the best first seven weeks of any corner in football. Now that in now that you know we apparently have lost Champ Bailey for awhile. -- I mean they're very very good but -- cocky about their offense everybody says well the other offensive Spirit -- like. I do believe it's going to be very hard for them to when he gained 28 point three they have to in January but we just need two things about Billups and there offensive line has not allowed a sack in four and a half games. I think about that -- fairly close to what statue back there. Okay but he did nobody get rid of the ball that's for sure easy you don't. I have -- I mean that is absolutely. Unbelievable they've only allowed to sex and all year and yet you're right I was in Gillette Stadium to watch Matt Cassel the other night. And he he gives up sticks actually -- one points that's one thing at the same time -- a pretty good pass blocking line. -- and that was going to lead with four point five yards a rush. I don't know I'd I'd look at this team. Talk to Kevin -- about yesterday and he says it's meat and potatoes football's classical style of football. If you're able to run the ball you protect the quarterback and you play great up decent. Numbers are going to be there the eight -- and they are going to be. They're going to beat a contender. For the rest of the year they're they're they're going to be -- I'm not going to say they're going to win because -- you have questions. About them being able to overcome a ten point deficit with twenty minutes -- like that I big that's going to be hard for a while I do think they're very good team."

[14:09]" When you do without the got a number one running backs in light and Johnson."

[14:13]" Well I think Johnson -- the number one running back I think -- the best thing that ever happening them. You know it was the drafting injunction because in my opinion. LenDale White eight you know have a little bit -- send them and he needs to be motivated by outside forces. Like the drafting of -- you don't Reggie Bush type guy. So like I'm a big believer in Chris Johnson and what you know we'll see what the season brings -- LenDale White."

[14:43]" Kellen Winslow was suspended for a game by his own team. For -- thing off about medical issues surrounding himself and and and apparently the Cleveland Browns. Phil savage. Sort of defended the suspension saying the Browns are bigger than one person. But the fact of the matter is six members of the Browns. Have now contracted staph infections isn't that the bigger issue may be savage should be worrying about."

[15:09]" I think they are worried about it I think that are there. Any time that this discussion comes up. You know in ten -- raise in the Browns organization because. In they have got -- historian -- in the -- either one of the topics was. How much they have done in in their building to try to rid themselves. All the staph infections that have been plaguing them. I mean you know eagle at any bad Germany -- facility not only the have so which you've also got the you know you've got the Evan what he called the stuckey split your hands the you know -- targets and Muriel yeah bacterial. -- put your hands after you watcher -- I mean get their very cognizant of it they've. They scrub the walls the ceiling the floors of this place. You know there are lost to try to figure out why it is my feeling is that it's more this is more of eight collective. More collective thing -- like -- did your little bit of background I don't want to bore you but I'm going to give you a 32 primer. I Kellen Winslow versus the Browns. I mean. In its first years in the NFL. He had two TD catch years it hadn't eaten need. Another year you know playing and then he got banged up with a motorcycle accident. So in these first four years in football he had two great years. And two -- year okay want to but lost years it was of his own doing and it in the motorcycle accident the result so that it still being felt today when the Browns have no idea how much longer he's gonna -- is a productive football player. So he can to them wanting his contract redone in the off season. Browns wouldn't do it. So we had a little chip on the shoulder because of that anyway he doesn't -- office. EE he had a bit about me against the world attitude because they won't pay him even though he's been a great producer. Into this forty years and the Browns say when I give a guy like fifteen million guaranteed or whatever the number is. We don't even know if he's going to be healthy in 2000 not. So that is that's the background to this and to meet this never would have been. If all of that other stuff hadn't have happened before that."

[17:33]" You know Peter Larry Johnson is carried the ball. In his two best seasons he carried the ball 750. Times over over two seasons so he's carried it time. In addition to his his personal issues. Do you think there is a fear or concern. That his best playing days may behind but it may be behind him as well."

[17:54]" Yeah and that's one of the reasons why pay if you would come to the Chiefs. And the data trading deadline and offered a two for Larry Johnson would have traded. I mean. The Chiefs know then it's gonna be 2010 before they may have a chance to be significantly good. And next year it's still going to be here where. Either Brodie Croyle Alex Smith. -- Sage Rosenfels I don't know some draft B I don't know. Somebody is going to have to win their quarterback job take -- by the throat and go forward they don't have that guy. It immediately in blessed Brodie Croyle -- we just haven't seen enough votes to know if he had the guys they probably don't have that guy now so. I don't see how anybody can think the 2009 is going to be some great -- spending year. So as of now. If you're not going to be a player on that team in 2010 and beyond. It's open season if you want him go call Carl Peterson in the offseason if he's even still hurting your team in the -- that I don't. But it's a 100% sure that he will be Clark on the it was taken over her is that Lamar hunt running that franchise. May decide that that. Peterson has -- long enough and and -- he would say it's a year early for -- and Edwards but. I wouldn't be shocked if if they cleaned out -- in Kansas City."

[19:16]" All those guys are available why wasn't Tony Gonzales traded at the deadline."

[19:21]" Because the Chiefs just -- You know I've I've got I'd have to look it up but they just made them. Apollo eleven million over the previous year applause. Com after he said that you know after he went to a wanted to redo his contract. And they get up that fourth round draft choice which would -- if stalker they got just wasn't enough to. To deal so at the end of the day. V you know even if you want. Uptick. The you know whatever it is a 140. Ninth pick in the draft for a guy who maybe over the next. Year and a half maybe two and a half years is still going to be good player and your team they eat there's a fine line between. You don't just dump and a guy and and try to get some and it's going to help your team. And and I am not sure that -- that a late forced. Which is which I believe was -- feel that they happened in this case Michael. Peter is it it Johnson had had to agree to total plate. Okay and I don't think he would agree to go to -- on Bob Ford Philadelphia. Giants were only offering a late for so by they're only offering a late sport is saying. Okay I mean is that really worth it in you know to do that Nate just felt it was not -- Hard to argue with them although he'd say what he's the guy that -- to beat -- whatever he can't. But if you paid a lot of money I concede a reason why they wouldn't want to just doubled for next enough."

[20:56]" 1 nitpick with Monday morning quarterback before we let yeah. -- uninteresting statistical comparison between. Matt castles for six professional games and Tom Brady's first six -- Tuesday right and it was fascinating we talked about it on the air here. What you laughed out of it with sacks which is 25 for cast -- twelve for Brady and I think that would have been an interest in counterpoint to some of the other ones yet."

[21:21]" Yeah I mean. -- squad and I cargo capsule after the game about. You know about taken so many. Any sex -- capital on Monday night. Where I really think HE EL he's gotten off in the end zone. Covered by Champ Bailey in my house is going to have some complete coverage obviously they're going to put their best guy out of and he really try to -- the -- rather put a little earlier underwritten -- mosque make -- more athletic play on the ball which he should've done but having said that. The biggest problem he has is not knowing when to -- land. You know he -- simply have to learn when to throw the ball away and it comes from I'm convinced. And I'm sure he's convinced to. That you know you don't -- football game for nine years it's like being piloting simulator. Everything looks good you understand what buttons to push and everything. But then when you're actually -- orbit and you trust could hear our current 35000 feet above above the land. You're trying to figure out what happens when you get this turbulence which can't find a reason for. Well you better be pretty smart and able to do it takes a lot of learned that that to me is what Mets still have stolen but you know -- I just want to say one other thing. Matt Cassel -- believe the difference long term between Matt Cassel and Tom Brady. Is that just don't think Cassel as the deep on the Brady does. I think he's got a good enough arm but I'm not sure he's got the arm to make the eighteen yard out well. The -- the way Brady canned you know water put the ball up on top is accurately. It would is much zip has Brady can but having said that. I still think. That long term not only as a police initially I think eventually Armas starting place in the league whether it's going to be New England or somewhere else. -- get ready he's got good presence back there he's not scared. Got a very good it would if he's got a very good ability. To take. What the game plan is. And follow it and cannot be you know Bledsoe Titans say I know better but to be his own player. And -- the same time do become needs the computer chip that Josh mcdaniels -- kinda put into his brain but. I really like -- saw the other night capsule and I think that anybody who saw their game. Is gonna save it yet you know he's got some outrageous but you've got a chance to be playing January football this year."

[23:48]" Peter we always appreciate time have a good weekend. I regulator Peter King brought to you by Fred seat Church insurance because it's not just the policy it's the people."
