[0:01]" Well I first heard the rumblings about Randy moss potentially coming New England will we tune in the NFL network on Friday in the course at the center of the rumblings man who breaks. Most important stories on that network is our friend Adam ship they're congratulations on yet another great get Adam -- well done on your part. -- I'm wondering how bad was relationship Adam in Oakland between moss the raiders and in particular new head coach Lane Kiffin that that that prompted them to get him out of town for a four."
[0:33]" Well basically I think there -- this morning distorted his coaching career there without -- but he undermining him what he thought would be somebody would undermine. They were shopping him and they were not going to bring him back it was just not going to happen -- to restructure his contract at one point in the postseason. He -- wouldn't do that so. They don't want to carry him at a cap number nine point 759 dollar. So once that happens it was only a matter of time for the either traded or cut him and they began talking to -- patriots those talks continued Friday when the -- called them to address Saturday night. The raiders got back on the -- to the patriots and -- will you do this deal that normally operates six topic. It would have to let the round pick and then doing we'll probably -- to go to the worst. And that's what happened any -- went to New England on Sunday morning there was something of a timer cheap -- because they wanted to. There's still on speaking with -- war set forth it came and went. So they opened to make that day on Sunday and that's exactly happened -- you must beat restructured contract. He wrote in the new one year deal worth somewhere in the vicinity that they have million dollars. The patriots as one of the top receivers in the game."
[1:51]" Adam how close for the Green Bay Packers in in making the steal and was he willing to restructure his contract with only the patriots"
[1:58]" agreement that it meant as an organization last -- discuss whether or not they should trade for Randy -- and it was completely split been divided opinion. With in the front office and coaching that they were never pretty strong sentiment to go out. And get Randy moss it was never like somebody -- there is that the -- that we have to go at him. It was almost as if they said if we get -- great and if we don't get him. Great and it was this same attitude that was coming out of that -- organization and basically. It was the buyer's market Oakland had nothing in return but the guy or very little and who do that it had to get rid of them and that was the case. Sort of matter time before he would be so soon and the -- with a place."
[2:43]" it's my understanding our understand that Tom Brady played a role in this he lobbied for this guy I guess Brett Farr probably did to some extent in Green Bay as well you have any insight on that."
[2:52]" Yep we reported their workers in the morning that Tom was wherever he knows going. He spoke with Randy moss -- very excited about the deal signed up. Tom Brady feels like he's never had a -- says that receivers throw to isn't it is sort of some of the great numbers and it does this Hewitt al. That top flight like are cheaper with talent let Randy process so. -- British fully aware of that any very excited about the fact. That he has a receiver like Randy moss at this point in his career and I spoke to us and people around the league that people at Oakland some people out of Oakland and everybody that that Randy must might not be ejected but he was that they think that battle beating Oakland where everybody's career suffered less than. And going to a new -- winning -- aid productive environment that Randy -- will have approval he's doing --"
[3:45]" So essentially after nine years in the National Football League a change of scenery and into a new culture most people think Randy moss is the light's going to go on in his head after nine seasons in the NFL."
[3:56]" Take but today they co -- in Oakland to certainly put. The -- history curry and and coaching staff compared to open New England and and less -- not least Aaron Brooks versus fabric"
[4:12]" trying to say the same thing in my part -- all morning long you look at the culture knowledge in Oakland but but Minnesota is well. With a number of enabler around my when asked about what exactly he has left in the tank that was one report this week and Adam. That had a running a 429 for -- we asked him about that yesterday during the conference call. All he would say is the old Randy moss is back what do you nobody gets left in the tank if you know anything about the supposedly audition for --"
[4:37]" Well I don't know it is specifically about your addition ability that I don't know but I do know that just last week a restraining him poker tarnished -- clocked in LA -- at 43 in the fourth grief about. So I don't think straight line speed his question with Randy -- that big question is best -- wasn't side decided that we would probably not. I talked it would years but is -- stable. Better then then most every receiver in the league and that yet at -- let's put this quite. Oh -- to do consider this what do you think was the reaction. In San Diego and -- in Indianapolis when they heard the news that Randy moss being treated --"
[5:23]" They don't. You know obviously the patriots have the protection of a non guaranteed contract Adam that that really limits any kind of financial risk they have company in a worst case scenario. They lose a fourth round draft choice and nothing else but do you see the possibility amazed -- talk about the core players around here. The culture the -- Checketts as as it's put together here. But whether it be the fact that he doesn't. Get the two million dollars for the incentives of 85 balls Scott or or whatever the case may be that there is a chance we see the old Randy moss with a bag pitcher in doing that at some point."
[6:01]" Well at some point players usually your players are some point I'm sure we'll be something but the patriots have made it very clear to him is built our soldiers to say. The lady yellow and it's ready to turn red. And -- goes through any red lights. They will not waste the moment cutting it was it is very plain and simple and you have to remember they don't need. They went up associate -- they started out this stalwart they traded for west float they signed Kelley Washington. They are already deep real wide receivers they've been it may -- at any point franchise history so. It's raining most of July and I don't think he will this year then. They can just say they -- time. You got."
[6:42]" I can draw parallels to the first year that Corey Dillon was here he had question marks and he was a perfect citizen. Do you see any comparisons to the acquisition of of of -- four years ago on this one by the patriots a --"
[6:56]" Bill Belichick inept front office has shown a penchant for going out and gambling on the right and I get direct at a time Brian Cox. -- Washington Corey Dillon. These guys were all supposed to be malcontents and they all seem to work out pretty well on doing."
[7:13]" But none of them have the litany none of them have the track record belong you know as long as your -- list that Randy moss brings with his baggage here."
[7:21]" Now and that's why this is such a fascinating story and I had a debate with Mike mechanism -- get -- He's seeing the football authorities not a big deal and I hit -- couldn't disagree more the it's an enormous deal I mean you think of all the scrutiny and spotlight that I'll -- Terrell Owens last year and -- in granted Randy and thrill are two different types of players with two different types of -- recent issues but. There was so much attention that surrounded keel last year in his arrival in Dallas which is one of the most. Followed a beloved franchises in the league and it is similar credit he'll hear you get rid of -- going to be trumpeted New England Patriots how hope. Is that accommodation. That match that union not the biggest story in the off season."
[8:10]" Well I certainly think it is and why understand the contracts are different in the guarantees are different and that is a big difference in the deal. Refresh my memory Adam I I'm pretty sure that when we found out that Jerry Jones was bringing to go to Dallas nearly 99% of the people said. He's not going to get away with the crap that he got away with in Philadelphia and San Francisco. Under the fumble Bill Parcells was that not generally the impression."
[8:36]" Yeah I think that that was generally the case that I think that are we also thought he was a time bomb waiting to go right. And that. Parcells would be able to get a year out of him which did eventually did but what. Did they not all -- against -- out the year that TO not sure open training camp in wearing that spandex biking up the -- sitting out. Training camp practice did not have the alleged suicide attempt bitty not have been spitting incident respect Indians will also they signed up on network. Did you not happened it happened during the season."
[9:10]" He did it at at a much attack to a couple of his new teammates yesterday in and asked them. What they thought about a guy like Randy moss coming to the patriots and and I were Super Bowl was brought up by one who also endorsed at the other one endorsed it was looking forward to playing -- didn't think that was going to be a problem. Let me ask you what teammates in Oakland and specifically Minnesota -- he spent a longer time there. What do you know about his teammates in those two places -- they get along of them what was it like in the locker room there."
[9:39]" You know I have the best of my knowledge and it is not something that I've spent a lot of time best. Funny old and a teammate Randy moss I was more involved in what the true go through in restrictions contract -- into in the but. To the best of my knowledge. The guy is quiet existence itself. He's a different kind of guy -- he on the DL it Randy moss hasn't had some of the issues that Europe has had and I think that. You'll come in there I think it'll be like -- to be honest that they. You know they'll be somebody that keeps to himself that does his own thing and goes from there and make -- on Sunday that's correctly -- Milosevic --"
[10:18]" The -- dog like Randy moss and probably wider keep to themselves that it."
[10:23]" Most importantly we get a little manicure and I went there I -- I -- don't -- of the -- That it won't -- right now. You economy in the barnyard."
[10:39]" But at -- is it safe to say Adam and not much of a stretch at the patriots have gone from -- worst receiving corps or one of the worst last year to perhaps the best in the NFL now."
[10:48]" I think when you look at their receivers now they have some of the best receivers and we -- by active nonetheless you looked. They were basically a first down away from going to the Super Bowl they were the first set away. And since that time. They've gone out they've -- Billy Thomas. Tory James Wes Welker Donte' Stallworth Kelley Washington Sammy Morris Randy moss Brandon meriwether. The colts have lost. Dominic Rhodes they've lost Cato June they lost Mike doss there lost nick harper they lost Jason David they lost Monte -- The -- not gotten better include the patriots depth."
[11:28]" The second biggest story of the weekend was it was Brady Quinn falling eventually go to the Cleveland Browns are are you -- a you belief that the Miami Dolphins made huge mistake not only passing him but also walk stretching a little bit for taken junior."
[11:42]" Sit on air but whatever for the pick that one of the dolphins officials text message me at a congratulated him on getting pretty quick. A text message -- not so fast. And Larry Harris said. Don't be surprised seeded dolphins' pass him up. And see eight Aaron -- life here. And that's exactly what happened he slid down the forward to Cleveland Browns who have been tried to trade up for him 181920 range. Were able to engineer a deal at 20 -- it it was a -- steal but it was a deal that. The ground is deemed it worth doing and they give up a lot and it cost them a lot but it also cost pretty quite a lot because -- all if you got number three. It guaranteed money would've been somewhere in the vicinity of about 28 million dollars he guaranteed money 22 will come in somewhere about 6789 dollars. But he got number nine to Miami. This guarantees. Would have been though another 678 million dollars Mardy it took about a lot of my that he won't ever be able to make up at the upside to that'd be go to the Cleveland. Plays out. And those of the great job at a critical -- you will. But it -- the --"
[12:56]" What was the bigger mistake from Miami. Passing on -- all or may be reaching for for tent didn't you Ted Ginn junior who may not be ready for training camp."
[13:04]" I don't think -- a ticket dog that they tested and used it would have taken a number."
[13:09]" And who wins more games next year to Marcus Russell the Oakland Raiders -- Brady Quinn the Cleveland Browns."
[13:15]" To Marcus trust so warm up play very much of that all this year they're planning to -- and for the coming season and Brady Quinn. They'll be. Pressure of play ending you know what difference does he went on an operative one right now on the west side up as far as George Thomas and Eric Steinbach. Okay I mean there. Cleveland you don't let the patriots upgrading their receivers the brunt of them sipping on their weapons of -- plus he pretty committed -- in the ready to play in the NFL also. My guess is that Brady Quinn will play more and the brown is going to make -- have a better team. And I don't know how many more games to win but I would -- of their team in Brooklyn."
[13:53]" Jamal Lewis adorning their."
[13:57]" Well listen if you can't do -- they're behind that offensive line then then I would say it is clear that he doesn't have much gas in the tank in this league anymore."
[14:04]" In my my final question do you what did you think of the Calvin Johnson selection. But Detroit."
[14:10]" It was the -- they had to make they had no other choice and they had a meeting on Friday where they met as an organization and they told their owner that that was the plant and it's funny because we talked America recognize sit they're taking Kelvin Johnson -- people called me up GM. They're they're they're laughing and I sit that is what god spoke to you would not saying that they're -- they did not sound that way at fault. And I didn't detect one ounce of blow up in them and to accept Calvin Johnson because you -- Charles Rogers and Mike Williams. You can I can count. Another mistake in the what you previously made at that position. Just to that you made in the this -- make one now on I thought they would after the -- taken away that. The organization got really fired up when they explained in the -- the ways that Mike Martz used Calvin -- that up as they felt like they had used."
[15:05]" We had an affair we you tell Jamie dukes he's going to open up a little bit more is personality is really -- doll."
[15:10]" I've worked as a mother that told -- that and doesn't simplest and so I. At this point have resigned myself effective there's nothing that we can."
[15:18]" This that's a shame that he's got a bit somebody just got about got to blame multiplying Jane yeah."
[15:22]" Just hope that it warns. You know one day in time you will come meditation on."
[15:27]" His name is Adam -- he would know me a lot of all the NFL network out of -- once again great great work great yet we appreciate the time and noble talked down the -- a friend got Adams after from the NFL network"
