Play from 0:04[0:04]" This is PFW in progress as far back as I can remember I always wanted to be gangsta. To me so me being gangster who was better than being president of the United States need an eight women being somebody in the neighborhood that was cool nobody's they weren't like anybody else I mean they did whatever they wanted PF -- progress with Fred Herschel and one of the most your guys in the city. He was forced locked up at 11 and was doing hits from my bosses when he was 16. When he really love to do was steal I mean he actually enjoyed it. Well depending guy who rooted for the bad guys in the movie all right well just prison. Still it was a it was a big thing and the cost the course and then we had a meat or fish. -- into the prep -- he was doing a year contempt and he had this wonderful system for doing the garlic. He used to raise their pizza slices so thin -- political climate and with just a little oil is very good system there was Jimmy and timing and me and there was Anthony Stabile them. Frankie -- times who does that nickname because he said everything twice Blake and Andy and Andy and his guys Frankie the walk for any no no myself and then there was -- killer who was selling bulls is brothers and the -- and then there was -- black's brother fan and being."

Play from 1:24[1:24]" Some guy named -- funny how funny funny how coming into this thing. They beat me. Funny how funny like I'm -- and you need to and and like funny what they don't. Formula BM WM progress I'm gonna get your. John Buck"

Play from 1:52[1:52]" KP FW progress confidence I'll leave you with a heavy heart and -- there eating pizza sold off -- to show here. Our web radio patriots dot com -- clearly 5437 or eight who for Craig held Carolina after he's got that number it it was cellphone. Party broke me at all. The court if Greg and I got an argument. Today and we should start out"

Play from 2:18[2:18]" PJ took the argument the wrong way -- Craig was saying the cowboys to have a good offense wins and that was the argument I think they have a pretty office. So law will start off with PGA's you know he's called me now he said I hate guys -- all time to call you call kind of caught a typical -- girl for him. Now keep in mind pound I have eagles season tickets through some obviously very biased but here goes. You were talking yesterday -- lots of emotion me I had about the cowboys being able to beat the -- You say this after you -- every week the AFC always beats the NFC. You also say that the path than the anyone good yet but the cowboys did because they beat the bears I'd never said that. Let's not forget that one of the nobody's that the -- be also beat the bears come I just find it very -- always beating the -- of the AFC is far superior to the NFC in now because the game is getting closer you were starting you excited that there is no Dow. If you'll be predicting the cowboys to win. I give the cowboys all the credit in the world for starting all three -- let's not put them on the patriots class yet. I'll pick the patriots offense over the cowboys beat two. I'll pick the patriots defense over the cowboys -- to -- topic of pets coaches over the cowboys beat -- so Tom let's keep it real here please the one good thing about it if you've got my juices flowing for that game already in my hatred for those bandwagon fans are starting to come -- keep bringing the heat -- W keeping it fun. Well first I don't think the cowboys are going to beat the patriots let let me go on record I I -- going to be a challenge -- I don't think the bagels are going to be a challenge I think the patriots that ripped through them like Swiss cheese. My point was they were going to be the first real challenge at the patriots have because I think they have a pretty good offense I think the coaches coaching staff stinks. I think their defense stinks I think it's better in the angles but -- right they play in the NFC if they go to the Super Bowl will be killed by in the AFC team. So and no I'm not going to predict them to win because I don't think they're going to win I predict who I think is gonna win and I think the patriots will beat them so as usual PJ you were wrong. Hum."

Play from 4:11[4:11]" That's top salaries judgment. Well I just either dead or whatever your -- isn't quitting that I would I would really say that they they missed so it was it was that he was -- bears were good win -- good team. I think -- we're talking to Craig specifically about the fact that the -- was -- and wasn't any good. And -- Hussein because of the teams they played in yeah and we made the comment. Look Chicago's got a lot of flaws that team but it deep bench is pretty good right and I think by any measure -- would called -- top five deacons which united Indian peculiar that -- I think Chicago's defense is pretty good obviously it's an out to dry up now it's on how to drive by its offense enough that some injuries and with Mike brown. On Tommy Harris gone. I'm pretty was banged up an attack on the united -- was out for awhile with a pro bowlers but those -- pretty that's pretty good defense so I the other cowboys obviously. I struggled a little bit early in that game offensively but before those guys were hurt now except from my probably play at all. They started moving the ball and I had to pick out with some pretty good -- I think that was the only point Thomas trying to."

Play from 5:17[5:17]" Yeah I into the whole thing about I think he took two different arguments be seen him play anybody I think was our heated argument over the eagles 16 at all. Is when that was that I said I they've even played anybody yet when we were talking about 16 in all. So I think that the patriots have played tougher teams on the cowboys that was -- jets and chargers are better than the dolphins giants' and bears'. I mean those three teams that are terrible right now. But on solar were back you guys -- locker what's going on below first we -- I should say Craig stop being a baby. Jesus we just got an email and from Craig. You guys apparently had had enough of me CU great Carlisle were just -- with you Craig god almighty. You know we had that argument yesterday he got some -- stupid to say call ups day lot. Don't get sensitive and -- Gary -- he can be sent to one. Listen Greg Craig we can't be -- I knew more than they do E -- seven other -- you call c'mon now it was a call what will patch things up weekend I neutral -- finger on the ball but -- I love yet it does lead it held -- yesterday you and I were -- discussion about football -- he blew up so let's go to the"

Play from 6:31[6:31]" they're prepare for the Bengals. Okay all of a there was -- Who is one of those days there's a lot more media than players a lot more for most of the locker room period Tom Brady spoke he got a big gathering Roosevelt Colvin spoke -- he had just -- quotes a BS about the whole red zone. Not the fence thing is it easy for built you know keep you guys ground when he has something like that to throw at you when Chad brown. And Jeff Francis every week bill's going to keep -- a nice big serving of humble pie no matter what's going on so. Now it's obvious they're going to rally around something that needs to be fixed and they're still saying they left points on the the field on offense and they can't get off at important times and defense though. But in it wasn't all that interesting in the locker room period probably honestly I was -- I was particularly. Non interest in locker room just that wasn't. There's not a whole lot going on obviously right now plus the players the way they come ago. Can make it difficult and then on Wednesday when so many media members. And you know I mean for example Sammy Morris has now become like next to Brady the most go to guy in the -- there are people. Waiting behind his chair to talk to see anymore it's and then. When he came out of the of the bathroom went to his -- there must have been. 40 people around him sorry he's he's done a great job he's been better than I expected. Let's see anymore is now like the face of this team in the go to guy in terms of quotes. I'm just that's that's ridiculous. And the other issue is no one thinks there's a new energy or by on this team but I always gets back to want to touch -- that a little bit but wanted to things that was that was kind of funny it was -- cash. Yeah -- a nice I'm -- talking about vital Mike Preston was here who. You know some of our listeners might -- does occasionally see his name in in patriots football weekly. He's a European correspondent basically doesn't you don't sound cool if that obviously -- European correspondent that's -- European news desk picked so. Whenever we have some sort of you know story that relates to NFL Europe or you know anything of that nature. He did he generally does it he was taught them a job cracked a funny he had shared on today and he says -- our IP -- it and but he was talking to catcher about Canada and stuff like that and he really -- I -- but can all of a sudden he looked around and it was 15 people surrounding a decent I just figured this was. You know wanted to note they interview unhappy they get an offensive lineman and he's -- quiet offensive -- at that oh that's shows you. When there really aren't a lot of different places to go in -- so many media members and from Ontario. Yes -- sabres center Edmonton Wayne Gretzky Branford Ontario I believe for a few rumors out -- ball rumors out of Canada. Patriots Broncos will play next year in Edmonton was right so I think -- help Albert yes that is that stinks."

Play from 9:31[9:31]" Are we go to Denver anyway that's one of her -- we have to make. So now we're going out and -- Well let's talk about this about as a regular as he does talk about -- in football -- quickly vote Laron Landry 12 tackles if the giants last week. Album but the -- balls over rated industrialists let's talk about this and football throughout Bosnia for the fans couple weeks it's it's tough I've been asked the chargers who had to do it a couple years ago to come to the east coast that. We already have four west coast trips now we're thrown in a trip to -- Alberta. That's tough for any football team to do and it's hard ferocity we don't do enough that we go out eat wings and -- iron. You know in -- they'll be coming off a 60 you know season maybe don't care. Minority -- they'll -- as the go to. So lectured at the throw -- season I gotta go all over the world that I don't know I mean it's clear while. And it I think that's just -- rumors are involved Nebraska to Tibet was especially next year. Would you added all those trips that he Marty estimate then I'll make them go to Alberta -- Canada I think that's a bad decision my guesses it's a rumor that never comes to fruition. China one or China I don't know when you guys -- China. You guys don't want to talk about the news -- to media patriots signed quarterback hit once banned the practice squad released tomorrow Williams. They had news the placed tight end Jason raider why would know -- in your punch me in the face on practice squad reserve injured list. So Antoine -- back with the team. Anything with no. Except you walk through the raw locker room with a when those caps on his head his ankles taped and a towel that barely covered his junk and I at Indy was noticing no not really it was all noticed pointed out to me. And it went -- a funny line I can -- on the but while -- anything else now -- what bill was it had some interesting stuff on the Bengals that I didn't read in the preview that what you wrote the preview meet you but well. -- the if they they rotate offensive lineman I've never seen a team that rotated -- in my -- a guy like -- I was I I know Levi Jones has been injured and he said -- he said just much like a lot of teams do defensive line he said Wallace will ask -- I might ask him tomorrow about it but I was going to ask -- at triple -- because injury and -- being answered as saying -- because injury. But I mean everybody always talks about continuity on the line Brandon if they're rotating I didn't and that's why -- are well I look I read all hobson's article done it. But aunt passed one pearl issue early in the year he's done but not like eight guys Montgomery where he could find Nightline. But I think he's donated a cop out with seven. He had multiple positions rotating people back or four I think early in the year."

Play from 12:18[12:18]" I think there was -- there was a couple of I think the right side was that. Definitely tackle. But -- it was I -- because guys are injured -- at the -- injured Lee by I don't need to totally misrepresents -- that -- along that stat that's why I -- that gives him more I didn't even think you've been in terms of the way you're talking but I guess the use this as a good way compared to Atlanta line because I thought of him more like the weight as. Well and it's not newsworthy in anyway I was they actually have. -- just seven guys 67 guys that are healthy and their rotating all the time I think that's interest and again I see why they had nine yards on 17 carries that's I was trying to find a way to phrase the question particularly asked the running question with a because any won't Chancery got to ask about it really looks like Rudy. Really -- I thought he was good now it looks like crap -- It looks like Rudy except for the fact that -- personally what my mind I was second half of the game are you DI looks like argue -- why he looks like he looks like he should be playing on the football field. -- wouldn't that -- mean he was not even part of -- I mean he was -- And the second half of the game and a 17 carries in nine yards right now he was ineffective early in the game and he got hurt in place I don't really see how that characterized as a looking like -- unless you want to take it. As we were -- good game yeah let's bet you wonder why take it literal and say. Billed as a thank very much Rudi Johnson -- you know it looked like -- Sammy 17 carries for nine yards that's -- possibility I mean obviously I don't think that's been talked."

Play from 13:42[13:42]" For the saints fans out their listening Nam eat the team just got better Jason Davis Alpert -- week after that goes down as one of the worst signings probably ever heard and I think -- has been blown out of falcons cut on my tickets -- well they feel like this is the coach -- just cut above all you're talking we're talking yesterday about the -- the Internet the new website yes we should get to that and our fans have -- we actually have to look emails. From Larry he said Tom is right too many bells and whistles not better just -- cannot listen PFW progress and read anything on the site. Cannot fast more Peta PFW progress not as good as it was now that Larry said that about that -- the TV show great and set up PFW DV. -- though he likes that TV show and he does not like the site and we also have a email here from. -- that I do not like -- interface at all it is harder to access all the media the works -- patriots today. That is series of fine now that you mention it asked PFW -- I haven't seen it. Since the Interfax interface changed I don't even know where to look at nick at Las Vegas so -- according threads really upset about this because what stuff Faulkner says."

Play from 14:56[14:56]" People aren't aren't really even looking at the website and then you know -- obviously not figuring out what they're looking oral or why. First of all specifics he he's looking for people that have problems but a couple that we've had one of that -- progress that says that you can't fast Bordeaux rewind give them some progress. You're absolutely chance it's right there I hit it was Mickey Mouse on in. Well you know bullets or wherever you one where'd you want to go whatever part of the show you want to know was what about the other aspect the asked VFW so that that guy."

Play from 15:29[15:29]" That you also -- listen and read other stories at the same time. Oh you don't like is a price comes up right on the screens he'd have to open up another browser he'd just open up another browser. You know how doesn't pop up anymore just aren't out yet screen. That's like one little porn sites that we have a -- it just goes right on the screen so sometimes indeed what I try to go some results stops the will be -- yeah auction I can't stand them."

Play from 15:55[15:55]" Hopefully anyway that is it is I noticed I don't I thought he was going to make -- joke going because there in the slow parts of the movie over Dakota with the but he's melted all the sudden the -- no experience. While India apart -- was and of the asked if W's right on the left side is obviously all the links to news stories. And the top as a rotating no story and and every Tuesday asked if -- was going to be one of those rotating stories it's not your game and one little you can look at the little boxes with a squares this is why -- people haven't really. Take any time to look around and and I'm things it's exchanged their things that there aspects of the website that are different. I personally -- beyond -- I've not really liked a lot of changes but. The stuff that we're getting complaints about is really ballot I'm really valid because there aren't there and asked via W. Was right up yesterday and he did it. It was one of the -- stories little boxes below the main photo want to vote is always going to be rotating in and asked if W want to Tuesday so. Direct those to -- and tell me specifically what about the website you don't like in. Well Steve we get or currently likes that you could email it to those like -- out you know in fact the fans and there one point four million people that look at the site. And about eight people that wrote in and dated like -- That tells me it's as more people that like -- out there. And no people like me you don't like him either way you don't writing this you like it but people like me don't email either way. I've hated things and I you know what I should -- you tell somebody you know what I do -- off the -- Michael gets them to -- out what -- now and I think he's I think he's a very small percentage title people I don't I like if you thought I hit -- with myself -- any real complaint I agree with -- I think I'll just stop reading stop using I agree with you and that obviously now. -- that's my point because one point four million people on the maybe could've been one point eight. Well it's still a huge jump ball -- world number spores. Because of that connection does that levels. Larry goes to everything the TV show that the way -- looks aren't everything in the first Craig from South Carolina a couple of great cut the crap we'd only to lose it doesn't want to write he was right on EI right now we do not need him if he wants he wants to be able about it. Let him go off on as well we don't opium. This is just like that you only feet situation we've always been that was that for years now but -- right now is he thinks Vijay just rip you. Should you stop coming on the show lot you know what you guys obvious have had enough mean I'm not conventional -- Don't go to substitute me and Andy for that. And on any given day I heard her."

Play from 18:44[18:44]" That's that's a week last week after exam by Michael he's still around actually oh. -- I don't know if it now -- that we also. I'm talking about it's not a regular talk yet -- through their Lotta people glad that Craig decided not to call the unity war actually someone email that once and I'll buy you -- feast obstacle we stop we. We have a where's that guy who's got a great -- call violently charitable work Greg's going to and we don't want Friday we also talked about the -- yeah yesterday in nick comes -- he says. How do you think they'll attempt fell about the Troy brown Antoine Harris lateral wells that was the time in the."

Play from 19:39[19:39]" It's -- it's a touch that happens if someone fumbled on that plate it would not be a formal it would not be a change of possession. That's intelligent talked about that it went after that plus it it goes back to one of his little core rules that he liked to say is most important thing is when you start the play with the ball is that you and the play with the ball. They just didn't start that play with the ball they were on defense trying to block. So that's a it's a totally different thing. -- on Dave plus the other thing we talked about yesterday how we talked about bears and ravens need big place. That patriots team needed big plays it needed those types of plays or would not have won a Super -- this patriots team it's big play is -- snapped the ball and throw where you want it to Randy moss -- west what you believe they could do that ought to -- 16 times without that player to -- executed probably don't -- and that team needed those types -- they were the ravens they -- that they don't need a special place in the he's got to say so that we have a phone call what is. You know as watch in the show last night when they do now now I just. I mean it's making peace in."

Play from 20:41[20:41]" Late in -- You're the new Fred I mean everything they do with lake this is a couple of column like axiom it. And -- you're right we have spread scared to death but both that'll watch or shall we -- what's going on here read the drive in the ship all these years now he's getting nervous there's too many passengers on the ship and he has jumped right out the ship ease the -- like brad anything. That happens is okay I feel like Borg just like I say their goal of 14 into a -- with these Super Bowl easy. Paul he wants to get out of the ship. But he's not quite sure yet he's put -- god has pulled out like me right in any heavy that's somethin' to over the top of all -- so Paul wants on the ship what it's not quite his style -- I have the patriots already at three you know better than the 85 -- yes. And up for the record we have."

Play from 22:09[22:09]" I'll homer I'm I'm biased I hate. I hate when people say that you know you always think good things because you biased -- that yeah I don't know if you listen attain the emails I think we got a phone call that actually said that it's nice cedar. You know Pollack nice -- you've joined the homers that's just an -- and I was highest now radio but that's. That's the one thing that I take intellectuals know you as anything but patriots dot com corporal but that's because -- 80s. Well -- you backtrack and again every time that we talked about this and we realize how much more of a fan I am and Fred. That that whole theory gets blown out of -- mora in the five spot by speak it a more a fan of -- there's no free lunch on the way Craig from south."

Play from 23:06[23:06]" And woody got for us. Well."

Play from 23:10[23:10]" Say it didn't say that data -- usually well. Announced their fines against players bird you know that it and whatnot."

Play from 23:18[23:18]" Admiral they announce it I didn't see if FedEx on number seven -- chair of the does that mean there wasn't one but. The idea well -- and -- FedEx delivery."

Play from 23:27[23:27]" If it's any consolation to those who like myself you know the game wasn't covered down your state of South Carolina. I didn't -- into -- Internet you know pathetic whatever you want college I'm going to get my agent it's one way or the other but. Last night on and that's allies what you are recorded on my EBR. I've watched it in super slow Mo on my 52 inch plasma. And -- it was definitely bought into -- far away. Yeah -- worked on 17. When number 57 for the bills don't Adam detritus all -- down. This is like -- said number Big East avenue ended on well -- slept leg which kinda. Stop -- a walk -- a lot is progression but you know he's a big bullies got momentum. He started -- consider right while he was still in the air and by the time he got to 15 yard line -- well that was open at this sideline. So at least stuck itself allow intentionally he's real good. Technically it wasn't a shot at Sydney herb Kohler company he actually hit him about 45 inches above and so -- you know -- supposedly -- dollars I'd. You know technology -- I don't see how they can't find him."

Play from 24:55[24:55]" Well they can't I mean and I expect that they will I mean whether he was called for penalty was three inches from the year two inches from the whatever. I think they're going to look at it as it's always easy. It's -- the title which I don't agree with I have a -- that's probably the panel that that's a different IQ -- by the rules he's going to be fine. I think had there not been a flag he probably still would have been fine."

Play from 25:19[25:19]" While the well look at that the guy like a look at Adam and it was blocked indoors you know what it's fine you're not in my eyes -- didn't look intentional. You know what I diary -- on the thing probably ten times. You know I mean the guy's not looking at the quarterback -- looking at the sidelines at least spending and it later. You know I mean he's got to have -- on the back -- Ed Norton you know intentionally make a shot on one."

Play from 25:45[25:45]" Do you have a Comcast GDR. Now what cable service do you have and here's -- we need patience did you DVR stick when you try to rewind fast forward"

Play from 25:56[25:56]" every once in awhile it's just the nature of the beast."

Play from 26:00[26:00]" Mind what kind Xerox the ones for car passed up -- sudden it's."

Play from 26:04[26:04]" I don't -- takes away every once in awhile to and that's. But for the most part you know I get a really good picture out of it -- me."

Play from 26:14[26:14]" At all and if -- once again great -- slovak that's good though he's still talking right now. We don't know guys don't have a lot of emails because there are all complaining of that it Mark with a Steve Hampshire wanted to help spread that the new -- website is awful also Tom. Are you from Dallas or you just a fan from covering them -- would have to stay at a time when Williams is awful that he might be worse than Adam Archuleta. Well Roy Williams is awful but ease Atlanta at Atlanta that guys one of the worst football players in the NFL right now. He's a terrible -- football player Adam Archuleta might be the only player in the league it would have returned a blocked field yes attached bottoms up to get caught on the -- by attack and Tom you're just the contrary in right. No way the cowboys I'm I'm rooting against the basically -- history when I was a little kid that ran horrible lot more than. Then again you know jumped on the border early and you stick with it yet now I'm I'm more like Michael -- when it comes in the Yankees them. I hate everything about the cowboy up like three players we have another phone call she ended at Seattle is on the word associated woody out where it's."

Play from 27:28[27:28]" Get Mona -- viewpoint from -- it's good afternoon trio that I I know. And you know that. South Carolina terrible terrible state I try to practice hours -- it's true if you because if that would happen. Brady all pats fans that you -- and forced suspension -- and."
