[0:00]" Welcome back Dennis and Callahan Patriot Monday continue the quarterback our Boomer Esiason joins this morning boomer how Mario. Always a pleasure talking football what you had -- all -- on yesterday I think you could make the case that maybe -- parochial on my part. That the most significant game. In week eleven. Happened Thursday between the Jets and the address game -- the basket for the most significant in terms of standings wild card -- division races and all that happened Thursday night in Foxborough agree."
[0:28]" there's no question that was the best inevitably Kevin -- that everything and it it at all the twists and turns of what you would hope they traditionally have. I don't know that Washington and out game probably was pretty significant last night to. You would take a look at the Tennessee Titans staying undefeated and I know you guys that are keen on that for all the obvious reasons. You know it's always -- Tuesday and then of course the -- that happen in Pittsburgh and Tennessee Pittsburgh San Diego yesterday. Still people scratching their heads this morning."
[0:58]" Gamblers as gamblers energy and I sure."
[1:01]" Web -- but there's such as gamblers have relatives say that that that -- cross state team a particular game. You don't didn't cost the Steelers beat and they want to and that's fine. But it'd back that would make gaffe that cost the Steelers -- and that I that would really be discussed above what we Romo how many people Campbell on the NFL a lot of people -- sure -- this morning."
[1:22]" Let's call them law play I was gonna say something up people esteem in some pretty happy and thank him."
[1:27]" Well I -- depend on -- W put your money now but I would imagine that going into that game I would think. The money were probably on the Pittsburgh Steelers have would be. Because nobody put their it was yet another game and home and everybody is what you get -- San Diego and the -- San Diego Chargers as a team that struggled on the."
[1:43]" When they find out it was a mistake can mean today. What does somebody on the scene on like on the ground who says he let."
[1:51]" I know I know one -- and our studio now we don't go back on air because they're trying to get the game off -- as quickly as possible let's go to sixty minutes. And it all up fairness to Jim and -- it never even had a chance to discuss that. But I you know I was living with Okinawa last -- a -- boy this group that one out. There's really basically what was it was a fumble at the fumble. And the fumble should be allowed to be our return for the touchdown and I guess the past and question is. Is the second best not the -- over restored any problem. But the lateral that went from what David Toms in the Chris Chambers. For some reason I don't know why these officials screwed up but they've made a bid to maybe guys and pound it -- major gaffe. That can't highlight some of the problems that we that it with a with officiating. Throughout the season."
[2:37]" And and many Q you just say it's ski correct the mistake now I mean I don't know how Las Vegas would handle it. But like at the just say okay Polamalu scored its 1710."
[2:48]" You know I don't know why they can't do other than you know it goes in the books as the official scorer and -- take into account. Umpire or official statement Tuesday and that's -- the game. I do know that. When I think about that some sentiment you know beat the Steelers you don't windup to kick an extra point and now though the NFL is new. You used -- supposed to finish the play off by doing what you know you would do after scoring a touchdown. So in essence you're going to pick up a touchdown up that it will be up potential of one point short I don't know what that does anything out there isn't it. But I don't know as the fire -- were a betting man which I am not and -- people do not that I'd be pretty upset this morning you know what the wrong way."
[3:30]" Tim -- and he changed the way we look at these things. Yeah. Am I know I used to think outweigh it would in the rough stupid man that's crazy that's crazy talk gets conspiracy. -- you know like grassy knoll -- But well in the NBA a year ago or two years ago. Two seasons ago there was a guy -- bet on games."
[3:52]" I would never go down that road with an NFL official I know these guys personally I played in the league. There is straight up and as credible as any people that right now and I know it's on the talk about conspiracies but in this case I do believe this is just the complete won't. All the riot and I would never even intimate that any of these guys in the NFL are -- not and never I would never even want to go on the road."
[4:16]" right understand the answered this question is because it would cost too much who would you consider the multi billion dollar operation that is the National Football League when you see things like this from time to time. Doesn't occasionally the hue and cry about -- why is this league have. Full time officials who do nothing but officiate NFL games and study -- and and and you're around 24 hours a day seven days a week."
[4:38]" I know that that they've gone down the road thinking about that but honestly you know for the seven months to believe not -- of the six months -- leave not planned. What do you guys going to -- I mean I think I -- you would you would you would imagine that I would see them all going to meetings and having. You know eight hour meeting today and they wouldn't go and be a principal bicycle that would go albeit dentist that wouldn't go home -- they all have obviously other location right. I don't know what they would the first six months they're really gonna."
[5:05]" Campbell what I. What I do they have offseason they train they get ready they study they whenever you'll be -- players do."
[5:13]" I don't have another all look at film they all undergo. You know conditioning even though you look at some of the you know where -- condition -- Mike perverse try to get that aspect of it better arm I just think that like yesterday it was a typical human error aware of Buckeyes come together they have a discussion it's at the end of the game. There's 70000 people screaming and -- and they try to discuss the situation. And I think it was like he said she said who's on third who's on second on first and they were all discussing -- different aspect of the play that they had just watched so. I don't know Mike Pereira is going to have to answer a lot of that today they're going to be a lot of upset people again here."
[5:53]" It over how to adjust win over the Patriots play in New York and -- necessary with the fans about how does that play in that jets' locker room how important was it for their. Mental well being to finally get over the hump against this team."
[6:04]" It was huge and obviously everybody down -- pointed to the fact that despite went around got Brett Favre and I told you guys going into the game. I was really weren't wondering about where he was within their -- that I have to tell you watching the game. He was spot on he was -- Famer that is going to be there was -- I can't remember one bad past -- on one great catch and that was by Jericho Cotchery. Is accuracy and that this is decision making decisive. Or as good as I've seen it at any time this year and I think it was huge for them but I always have to remind people -- you know look who the -- to plant. Have a backup quarterback that hadn't started -- school you have Guyton you have Mayo and you know what's on the field the last period and overtime. I mean this is not -- not Bruschi it's not junior's day out but not you know Ty Law was obviously an avid game. A topic Samuel plant city Eagles and I mean the fact the Patriots kept the back closing got back into -- the way they did. To me is that as a testament to -- the players for the Patriots or -- that important went for the Jets. But I think you always have to put -- perspective I think will find out this week just how -- the Jets are the trauma and."
[7:12]" As fulfilling and as important as that win was for Mangini and the Jets. Let's put the what if game for just. Like. I don't like I don't -- about this what if the Patriots won the coin toss and go on down the field and won the game with people will be saying. Eric a couple questions for eight seconds left to go Patriots have no time out. They are desperately trying to run a play on fourth down trying to get lined up try to call play. And you of them the major favorable time called timeout and on top of that saying -- Ty Law I got a new approach for 79 plays you'll -- operating losses nostrils not what should back off and play man to man on an island all by yourself other work out Freeman junior not to the point."
[7:55]" It would have been it would have been really ugly girl Monday morning and that's what are the what are what does that we did talk about only when we opened up the show at 6 o'clock in the more. -- if they were lost this game I can't even imagine what would have been like but they didn't. And you know some people are wondering why Bill Belichick could go for -- you know you gotta wonder -- With the coach would you want for two in that situation. You don't why didn't bill kicked a field goal in the second quarter when he had the chance to get to nine point it was aren't that I'm. I instead of going for a fourth and react -- was so there are a lot of things that went back and forth on both sides of the field and you know -- today I I still say that the Patriots represent themselves. Exceptionally well and and Matt -- like I can't say enough. About what this kid has been on and how -- planned and knowing mister Randy Moss wide open not go pattern now outside but. You know due to be able to do what he did -- actual -- protests. With 12 left on the clock is things that you know. We -- kids were playing football rep of having that happen or Austin and he did it was a tremendous play -- fortunate lost."
[8:59]" I we're we're pretty sure he's playing elsewhere next -- you do you have any sense of where he might play and do you think. Ballmer that the Patriots would whatever franchise him and then and then trade him and get some."
[9:11]" Well I don't know enough about that yet. I've talked to Scott pioli a couple of time. You know I don't think they're going to let him go personally that I would think it would be not that they did -- obviously madcapped slipped to point 567 games whatever it is. Is not is not going to be getting a ten million per contract. And I don't necessarily know that he would be any better. And it is now in San Francisco or some other -- in the mind you quarterback. I I think he's in the right system I think he's -- great players I think yet the great coach standing on the side -- keeps these games always close. My I don't think we should get ahead of ourselves."
[9:50]" Just yet all we knew we all and that's what we don't you know I know we speculate or radio yeah technically what what about Brett Favre. In New York is that he won and done is he going to. Be back next year if he's not back you back next year would mask Matt Cassel make a lot of sense."
[10:07]" It would make a lot of sent down here but I don't you know right now as we sit here. I think Brett Favre is coming back I think you know that game against the the Patriots -- that you played. You know today -- rated that -- the practices they. It way to play it and I thought I would tell you right now as we sit here today. He's coming back now if things turn south bomb and they get ugly. And you know there's always an injury potentially you know he's one of the great all time iron man I still say that he would actually have second ought to come here. But right now he's on the top of the world I was as payment first."
[10:44]" Over Afghanistan -- standpoint as important as the pats Jets game -- so -- was the -- Dolphins. In Miami on Sunday and and just in terms of general discussion do you think you got the Dolphins figured out you know what that team's all about good Dolphins bad Dolphins -- mean they'd just get by Oakland yesterday. Get a handle on that team."
[11:03]" Absolutely not I have no idea what what they are who they are mean. It -- embarrassed then they're cheap and some situations. But they went in on everybody in the -- oh tallied just one more points -- the team. I don't care who that other team has a wake up the next day -- win under my development and so word about were planned. Next week but I will say that I do feel that the winner of the Dolphin Patriot game next week will be tied for first place again I'd just -- the Jets were real and via. I am. So I would tell you that next week and the -- last -- in -- all those reasons that we just got. Next week came in Miami in the back the Miami you know killed Patriots early in the season. Is a huge game for both these teams especially now -- I think that you know. The battle for the AFC eastern Lee is going to vote -- tenant -- winner yet and you know whoever wins -- and the."
[11:55]" The wildcat offense that seems to work because it doesn't seem to be anything that would be confounding. To defensive coordinator order on the field linebacker if you look at a direct snap or why does it work --"
[12:07]" It should it should work really because there's no extra players. It's basically all you're doing is taking the quarterback out of the -- right you were not having the the quarterback handed off to the running back in economy and so it's it's -- they're running normal places just to wrecks happening to that today halfback. I don't know why it's worked you know why it's it is that the fact that it it shouldn't be a I'm sure that the Patriots beat them to be working on that thing over on this week I'm sure that bill didn't take off as we can like the players these problems trying to figure out. Exactly what what they're doing what did but. It shouldn't really -- anybody not because there's no extra players. Maybe with the except -- Ronnie Brown may be able probable. When he rolled to a -- Who's going to throat Chad Pennington media -- cover him with no matter we got back there secondary."
[12:54]" If if you're Philadelphia Eagles fan would you be worried that your quarterback didn't know they had tie games in the NFL. -- some about Donovan McNabb."
[13:05]" I don't you know by I was watching game yesterday. And I've been both very. Cheerleader for Donovan McNabb and -- critic upon. It's on the times I would criticize them when I've done it stands for some of the body language on the field that he. Was really not sure well what was going on on the field. And yesterday I kind of got going watching them on an -- out closely that's what's again. The couple ball got bit batted down a line of scrimmage to popular and they cutback and -- on your reaction -- mostly in these smile. You know any -- Thrown three interceptions not played well team looks like it's getting. You know out hostile but since at a single -- names and it looks like sometimes as body line which. Brought you the wrong way of watching him I can understand how to put up and this morning. Would be PO especially. You know admitting or you know I'm on the Serbs visited -- that you might not know exactly what's going on and and where you are -- that looked like that -- when he was playing as well."
[14:03]" Have over a possible in your mind the best team in the National Football League is not the undefeated team but the the other team down in New York the nine and one."
[14:10]" Yeah out there what the Giants and anytime you -- for 200 yards. Three consecutive weeks. -- butt kicked him -- and you played against some really could be that is in order to do that especially Philadelphia and Baltimore back to back weeks. I mean they just impose -- will not a big thing this morning as. How injured is Brandon Jacobs musical wicked shot yesterday from Ed Reed on what is need someone of -- touchdown on. The question has now it is -- significant is that long term is just the ruse or public on that I needed to -- one the real answer today. But the opinion that there -- graduate go to. They've they are they are eight beast right now guys -- that's exactly how you want to play football Ortiz. Eli Manning is basically expect dating -- point that he sent they have been opportunistic and all of that is just at Roland people."
[15:05]" I is this the week -- that the Yankees make the big offered a Manny Ramirez."
[15:09]" You know what I I don't know I think -- spokesman after what Nazis. About these government for with Doug Melvin said that yesterday and he just questioning you know the -- the thought process that the Yankees and of the they would chose -- Just how desperate the Yankees are right now they feel like. You know there -- been not any younger. Two teams in front of them that have young vibrant players in the Red Sox of course the -- But they are desperate offered. About it that much money what is that the mall over viewers CC sabathia."
[15:41]" Good question. I had I love what Doug Melvin success what you know ignore that's what fans think this why would -- off from a 140. If the bruise only offered -- hundred isn't there some room and B yeah undergoes solid gap wedge in you know they don't want to waste and they just want to blow everyone away in the and and and put last season behind them against."
[16:01]" Well you know kind of adjusting my radio report these huge advantage in the I don't know if he doesn't like our love them because -- he always sparks debate and get things -- fired up down. He had a rally over -- city field yesterday brought it all worn out or Friday. What does all worn out there with them at about a 150 fans out there and I -- up and got the owner Jeff Wilpon in my in my porters at the board shake your --"
[16:29]" out and Jeff came out -- what everybody used is pretty good."
[16:32]" That's a possibility. Yeah."
[16:35]" It that the possibility man -- a problem met fan I really don't want Manny the reason I don't want man. Is because they're gonna beat him four years which means you know two years in -- four year deal is going to be petulant he's going to be negative. Influence and lock element and I will never excuse. What he did to the Red Sox -- upsides I just can't bring it to myself. Support back I had no matter how good he is the matter how great a hitter he has. The of the support America what you did to the Red Sox this year quitting on."
[17:05]" Figured out -- a figured out. It was tense hours -- MVP at that ten games is that the Kurt --"
[17:12]" Yeah right now I have to be right now you know how to pose the question maybe you guys those questions out there although I know you're meant that there -- Sent around Boston but you're the one at a part of who would you want as quarterback. You I'm -- or -- one. That's pretty good questions for one it was starting quarterback Eli Manning took over."
[17:31]" You know who would you rather -- Eli and Peyton would you rather -- or Payton if you had a -- this morning."
[17:37]" Okay -- I always want to that is you know why because I think Peyton -- the guy. You know shoulders so much of the load and have a personality. Where he wants to do what he's doing he wants to be in the -- he wants the game normal line. He wants to make the calls that that's his personality or his personality. -- less -- that it it's competitiveness. It is not as gregarious to me I would always wanted --"
[18:02]" Over thanks that's I've always push talk of football what we will Jeff dead next Monday morning. Right right or Boomer Esiason -- Dennis and Callahan."
