Play from 1:44[1:44]" once though. I don't know what don't we don't shows on christmas and new year's night Jose Padilla remained in -- go up.

Play from 2:18[2:18]" but I can blow as walking down they all -- the with a diet Jibril -- and Jim Rome so he has. He's a doing interviews today so will be on the Jim Rome show afloat they -- You know I think it would be -- with the wrong here but he has the interest or eat corresponded for the -- world feel of -- different players that he Maroney Jackson him in the locker room today a little kid held -- not yet but. It -- an extent it's no Eastwood or spot for the Jibril shall we are viewed Janet Jackson oh -- parolees and it must turn it down because. That's good at home. Now to get even more respect return them to even see myself so. How many nothing except five -- your business would there's no one cent lunch feel for there's still time we got about an hour 57 left in the show pure power that -- that all you guys see -- said. I like that."

Play from 3:19[3:19]" That was fights I talked to Laurence Maroney unity lunch and he was -- he was talking about. I'm going to ask them -- you know it's been like it was raining Moscow he had made a comment that. Can't believe that he's in the locker room with guys like geez it now and Randy in my that he watched play. And -- more like been teammates with many months he's a great guys very funny and he gets you know not like you guys aching and he guys are always and that you know he's a bad guy in and that is -- want to talk which for the ball. That hasn't really been the case here. Now with monster -- also compare to to Corey Dillon. Cool music you know I -- when they don't talk -- eat it or they talked period that they don't talk nice -- and he just touch him on a bad day you know -- mean they're bad guy but maybe it was up and going on whatever you know but you guys it was -- real time. -- which I have. After this and that maybe I just got -- a bad three year."

Play from 4:13[4:13]" Today it ended and why only differently I was or it was a bad guys -- I like that was my point was you know maybe -- on of that three years and Mark Corey. That he really. Apparently Cory Jones coming back everybody -- you know -- I told me he's not a bad guy and I need to on the road do you look like I feel I -- at -- but -- people don't -- a guy. -- just you know everybody has friends you could be the worst human beings are going to have a couple people that would depend you. I I I don't I don't I don't -- like the guy that tall though obviously he's been with his writing coach. In in that that's a really good -- now I know it's all because he's a really good wood has growth and chills up would rule is all the replace you know that's -- good guys but but Toms right the bottom line is he treated people -- There's a lot of other with that you -- were -- play here furcal and I mean I would ornery as could be okay too. The media and that you are you know what that made him a bad guys for a I don't care what you had the media it's it's nothing to him. -- colon beat his -- but but but the death and you know now not that we don't. Not back after he was. He was mean to people that tried to talk to him -- Now maybe I was a nice guy it was teammate Fred. Maybe there was another side again I don't know what I expected he's merely that you don't know why -- like that guy that could have -- him often don't -- you know -- I I don't I don't think otherwise he was a very nice guy. -- with you know though. Patriot is that what the bad guys are tenure. That was a bad guy to think about it. They schools that are eagle the point is -- really don't you know I get to know they're called off the field you don't know these guys. Not about so but I also Dick and he's a -- and from 45 minutes in the locker I see him that would get -- we get -- impression but when I'm -- new phrase -- come from. Just because you in other side of a guy does that make him a good person. What you think it does a little bit more snapshot that 45 and I have to hit it he. Perhaps I appreciate it if you're good person that you should be but you -- And about the locker room guy that they're great -- You know they come out the gregarious and then trouble I don't think it was a bad guy. Yeah like when he about it I wouldn't -- all -- my point is. What they do in the lock you also can't. What -- I just judging from the little snapshot that you get out at a tackle that one little more than the locker of why you ignoring is my point -- guy who is going out doing things wrong it's great in the locker room in violent media all the time but he goes out and break the law does name's Ron I can ignore the action -- And I in the locker room mate back that I can't ignore the little matchup that you get in how we treat everybody in daily -- well because. That's certain that again like you do if you don't at all you know is that guy in the locker room you don't idols are totally don't know talk about but I don't know anybody I'm. I'm asking I agree with -- well I don't post a great -- ago. I'd deal him off the it was a colossal just did everybody went were never -- good guy that you think Corey -- as a good -- I've been holed I don't know him. I've been told that. What the media -- is not and I had -- Terrel -- and everybody -- kind of -- I just I just based -- on my interaction with people and I consider -- manager if he treats -- like -- a team three people around me like -- guy like -- you have nothing to -- I'm not that -- but I'm not commenting on -- like -- children no no -- that people I can only comment -- so there is that we really is what what -- it -- I don't know -- comment -- what are you. You're getting a smile what do we have yet to give them a dirty I'm annoyed look if you is Bucs fall finish it -- with a complete and total joke by the -- made with Mark he actually got. Luckily immediate laughed about it it was kind of funny. Laurie that would anybody I didn't mean to cannot honestly thought that was a funny and and on we don't know anybody in you can't make a comment on on people based on interaction I you know. -- in the media. Give them that I don't. Who the guys I think we're still look at a guy that I might add that I aboard -- these guys coming out with a -- web site the role blocked. Because they don't want to rely on the media telling people who they are what kind of guy they -- because. Cuba but all I would. Or maybe it is actually they're trying to bring back the other way in Italy any."

Play from 9:21[9:21]" Not accurate but I would tell you that they probably nine years with the team if he plays a year in on all different I don't know 500000 different guys maybe we've we've dealt with in a locker I would say 95% of the guys I've had my little 45 minutes snapshot up overwhelmingly positive 95 of the guys I've dealt with in patriots uniforms I I could count on one -- lot of problems at -- Matlock furcal happens they want to. You have problems with him I didn't know that. That's the whole thing was about I -- people I didn't know you'd fit in particular member of the hall asked com you know that's -- that's -- But in 95% of the guys that I don't outlook fantastic I don't know any of those guys are good people when they go home right now not -- not not on the ball. There's like four people in the world but I duel in the he's a good person. And offense I don't know you guys like."

Play from 10:18[10:18]" For the -- that you don't get a -- I -- I don't relatively -- on what does that mean how many people do you -- no in this whole world that's true -- neighbor he closes -- bro I know he's -- in a -- you know the only time we don't know. Yeah after tomorrow. He'll probably -- about it or anywhere you know some of them just goal like. You know they just don't like. The media or whatever don't know that you know they can do not command a lot of players that don't show their face or make it very clear. I'm not a jerk but I'm not talking easily be alone there's a lot of guys the guys that don't really talk to the media I don't I don't -- confrontational that's true. But anyway that didn't have to go in the direction and I hear that frustration with the people speak. You know what would make -- change the subject. Once I liken -- now. Anyway web radio it pages dot com email it to say I wonder what will likely this is actually important you all you brought up Mercury Morris players very aware of it bam Childress an Eddie Jackson talking to each other did you see it yet. You cannot talk making fun of Mercury -- of the players are very much they might even have it playing because well you know it seemed like I don't know what you're talking about Mercury Morris running back from -- Idea long time ago but. -- he was not yet the attitude team -- with golfing and he -- whole spiel. About my block he that would if they do all we would talk all we wait for my bride I'd go all. The bad about the patriots go into the -- let me know when an airplane for a championship game in the moving truck has moved up next door to meet. And it putting stuff in the house don't tell me that it might sound let me know when they're on my block. Getting ready to write in other words -- ten more games to win one. Okay you can talk -- He's completely got into trouble Wally and the patriots clearly I almost got the feeling that it's playing on it he'd be continuously in the training room cause it was like Eddie Jackson in the training room came -- infielders yelled did you think you saw him back and forth so. Either way the players are aware I can still afford to play golf like but he was in. Two weeks ago but with a note that he rebounded mean health wise -- my body wise. It but he. He had some series notre OJ and I seem on the golf course I mean well actually didn't go to -- he's now all these guys I mean if -- that famous you can get in a golf -- until but he but he didn't go to jail really glad Mercury Morris he did I am glad it turned around to. Around doing well I don't know who turned around you a lot of assumptions about the golf course it -- too OJ killed two people he's on the golf course nobody. You want to use OJ as the example just unbelievable put -- tickets that it's you. Oh oh he's just randomly lately he's finally. Just -- you know I -- agree that it the year but it takes it to the people all -- people. Just people. -- draft spent you know the first year of his career you know working and playing with them. People so why would why would he be objective. Why wouldn't. Because his whole heat wrap that even play with a meeting with a team like our team me. I think that privately. Well was her out or more what I have it -- telling the army I -- my. My sources be okay could keep eating Turkey and which are let's get to the my work me but I've seen -- Scott oh -- a lot of people being bad iron actually just catch you know whatever yeah -- right because it. All the boss I'm sure he had -- lot of -- just data Vietnam ultimately it is -- to rely on. The quilt there and I think now with the new media I think it's good for -- to get up on that though it bothers me that don't ask. And I'll say I have to rely so much anymore I mean -- dead or that you tell me that 18 it's been a bad guys -- have."

Play from 14:44[14:44]" Credibility in my book deal that you won't -- well suddenly -- and getting ugly I have no credibility. I'm not real and it and I think that's accurate. I gotta go -- an -- Crede really isn't just and I like in -- I apologize -- making evidently well. Very controversial joke in the funny joke -- I don't know -- was controversial. -- I started -- how -- well today. Okay any any any thing. That you need for four not really couple well I am now currently don't mind differently but Brown's not -- to recovering at Columbine differently clubhouse talk about linebackers their Eric."

Play from 15:32[15:32]" Q brought up that they're -- as -- audio guy whatever their middle linebacker is -- undrafted. Guy and that there's eight or nine in the league that are starting right now that are undrafted. Why isn't that those guys to the cracks ability to a whole philosophical answer about college and pros linebacker in the and he talked about instinct a lot of both those positions very much rely on in thinks he can't measure that level blah. And then he went into a portion we talked about the fact that a guy who's a pass coverage linebacker in college. Doesn't have a lot of value because you don't really need to be able to do that all the passes -- on the perimeter -- deep down the field they -- you know it is it's a different game. And that kind of triggered in my mind all the reports that they very much liked John -- who was a fast coverage type linebacker. And I'm starting to wonder if bill no longer think you know that whole thing we talk about -- 34 inside linebacker you gotta be out and take on the run. I'm wondering if he just thinks he can get a guy to do that now and he's more worried about the spread offenses in the colts in the different. Passing game -- you can easily underneath the and -- when we go to the combat we need to look at where the best coverage linebackers speed guys. Guys that can play against the pass and then as Tom said -- plug Oscar -- and on first down if he meets a guy up."

Play from 16:48[16:48]" you might actually looked back to win we were all talking with his right elbow or not he baseline dagger in you might look back in the in and day out. You know those Ted Johnson type middle linebackers in a traditional college being. Physical you know middle linebacker -- Michael the way of full grown NFL in general not as if and the guys as you approach it now Patrick Willis is fast. You know he can stop the run he's pretty big and out but he can play the -- he's passed in David Harris is a little more traditional I think. But I think. Mean when he is sort of more taught -- extra linebacker he's one of those athletic big guys who though even sides. That's why we thought that though would like because this -- track but maybe we need to just trying to. How we look at the position in the night we'd -- and then we as it was overly all -- start to talk about it is and I thought I was also adjusting for register here and talk about. You know isn't -- in the question was there any particular reason to -- thing. Why middle linebacker seem to be one of those positions of the cracked I guess -- was eight starting middle linebackers in football right now that on draft I'll. Seems like -- high numbers at any four that's what we think it's an important position and you know if you said -- eight starting guards in football I wouldn't pick anybody would bat an I'd like middle -- in the first round. -- in in -- out of it in -- just -- you know the measurable I'm always there you know -- for a guy who can play. They might be got that helped produce them athletically but they're not. They don't have the instinct match in a match recognition involved in that place a much anticipation screens reversed and like -- talked about it that was adjusting. You know little tidbit in the the Prescott but they also said that at Troy brown looks like Troy brown on the field he's not -- doesn't look too. And we don't joke and when asked -- looked -- that was a funny joke practiced actually it was kind of funny and not it's funny is not a money it sure looks like right Steve Burton chuck -- 20 minute the so all right so you're you're going to now be covering the -- a little bit different. I'm just going to my mentality my it is going to be using patriots -- Maybe why you -- look and I borrow yours but the patriot goggles that would that I -- Indian Thomas had in the past have been more like what he's probably just mentioned like a David Harris a big 250 plus pound guy. That that maybe -- them or -- were is now I don't look at a pass or of 30. That that has the ability. To make tackles but also play in the passing game right and it's hard to find those guys because as -- said in and he just said. They don't have a lot of experience -- when -- take podiums or go to Miami one Williams Jonathan -- yet and yet in in one thing that it not this year I forget which game what they were watching Indy but we are Carolina play and we only back to back plays Beason had. Unbelievable coverage down you Dallas Clark was it was in the in the game. Back to back plays had really good coverage god out deep down field on -- and that was -- geez I guess he had that reputation and he he is fault -- one point pretty well two plays might be heaven or rookie year. -- act out a little philosophical football talk from politics today that I was locker on Thursday."

Play from 20:08[20:08]" Lot of that guys good guys I was just keep going back it was. Not a very there weren't interesting locker room in any real way there's really no difference to me to -- him -- everyday -- seemed -- when he people that are in there ten of which talked and talked Eddie Jackson. The first time okay he seems like a nice little talker. So maybe a decent guy I'll go with him good guy not -- how not to and to have a long career knowing and a"

Play from 20:36[20:36]" nine he'll have a long career if nick -- recommended them bill of them match of the year forever was Troy brown in the locker room today now now. And the players like -- I'm just wondering was there anyone not in the locker room who we expect to play was -- there -- an oxymoron you know you know. -- in. The start of the whole. -- to a guy and continued to walk through the locker room and -- him -- his ankle injury -- month Eric Alexander Mel Mitchell -- either one of those guys in -- and Mel Mitchell Eric Evans who was in the united -- he was -- That's why -- mean that's also often been thrown himself he notices who has stuck it out at a sizable group around him Maroney did as well halves earlier in the the locker room period. Stephen Neal has a Bobble head doll in his locker that from a far looks like Matt light but apparently when you get up close is the dude the -- character of anybody it was I don't Mike were able Matt why Tom Brady Rodney Harris and were all at the -- yeah I Brady. -- Bradley that. But they were all there last night in I was wondering if what if anybody that's pro paraphernalia in the Lockerbie. I didn't but I wasn't maturity but it's that big balloon they were inflating when I was leaving via on -- place we should go to that I did not. What this morning I was I was when -- is 8 to do this morning I went early this time is an open it. Oh but you buy anything now I'm going to -- smart -- that. The save a lot Fishman lefty -- going to be there have to give him the final VHS awfully well -- big mama. -- I tell Hillard I don't like cats by watching that video and he's going to be -- You know. I only questioned how could you be a favorite. It's definitely in quotes accurate -- hazing you know -- You'll lose if you apply I would get you but no I would that surprise me it radio he usually doesn't do a lot of bigger -- any yeah I mean food. That's a pretty could get her that pro shops I'm not surprised at lighten especially liked an outdoorsman why he I would and they can't win there. A lot of alumni with the -- Q it is man guy. Interesting but I went to the -- today and believe if you -- within a hundred miles of Foxboro. -- they generally advertised -- hundred miles now -- one in North Attleboro now. There's owners that wanted to win so I'll Sunday at 1 O'Clock on December 23 week include all the -- I want I want -- up -- I thought nobody was going to be around always at circuit city and Chris mystery -- but I pocketed the wrong spot if I was go to the game that day. I'd make it make it a point to come early go to opponents -- that would differ."

Play from 23:39[23:39]" An argument then people going to be shopping righty -- saint -- political one of the game might stop and say people going to be Shoppach. Now yes it is going to be more people shopping and it's gonna make for more traffic that's right now -- not. If -- of people at the game you know wanted to go talk about people goal of the -- talking about something totally different and I say that people are going to be that that was the argument yesterday. Yeah and it is going to be people going typically shop -- I don't think you can get more than a hundred beat -- you know a day ago yet I think there will be -- but it won't be astronomical. Because you'd be crazy. Do you go go -- my earlier that it is -- paraphrase right there used and gotten in trouble for the what you. Do you go crazy on an ideal. The game does start at 1 O'Clock it might be moved before -- that's why I could go. What everybody because that fairway -- the odds over four minutes inning go. That that parking lot but a bass pro it's going to be just for retail. And you can park there if you go to the game so we do it like knew that they would call best approach opportunity -- The occasion a quick count how many people in -- right now and for the people and it is a -- and I don't wanna act like people. Going to -- that -- How we -- we have to wait -- want an all by the park in front of the tunnel -- aren't going to PFW technical never Vienna and we'll just always been able to close it right anyone think that not packed with over I was sort of thought well. I'd recommend going about Oakland want more -- what oh what they have everything. Outdoors clothes for outdoor toys I heard a voice if they have a -- I heard a reporter in the locker -- say it. If you want to kill an animal they have the way to do or catch a fish -- hiker cared smokers -- I get on the Alia. Agree so why is it. Enemy to bike and while he's like I got number one Massachusetts it's now going to try to driver. -- normally get that you gotta go to local local quickly as he gets us you know it would now. I don't you have got to have a regular. All right I'm I'm not happy with if he can get -- mention class about an idea total and collided it is one -- union as my father in law when he died -- guns and we want to have a we have a license for your school like -- got him. Once you have like 35 -- I think petered out after that -- in the world one. As I've -- I would I could not get that on out of my head -- my -- That's on -- here all day long. Which one I don't the only the only question is which one shot -- jail well whose dog that's all I would. We have I don't from the applause when northeast you and that's what on the idea of scared I would never even been near wouldn't get out of touch I've never touched again -- with never will really. Definitely for a while. You know they only go off if you pull the trigger right now and -- and and that way you don't. I will never be able to -- and we should have -- You never got you know another side note Matt Damon was awarded the the right people sexiest man alive I think you brought that -- It looked like a guy like I look like that's true yeah but he tried to defend our guy and watch it it looked like he sent people a letter trying to get hurt robbery right. Which I've found interest. Is it weird that kind of by Sandra what. And dazzle is what it was just trying to be -- humble humble. Action -- what -- like 2. There were three lottery you know -- on -- on their list works at all about that. Notes that Stuart -- was two time winner. Hampered pretty much everyone in that ocean's 111213 I think at some point has won awards gosh it'll not him thinking man alive Elliot gold. I do want to make a revelation about Tom the girl league kielty girl that different connotation accord on our listeners he's from -- No problem if she was a child negotiate -- who. Anyway -- written note that I covered covered the top gets Alley. And -- and we've seen this before I happen if you have to have a bad memory is -- like -- know that article and I'll this -- the -- it is PFW and dot tripod dot com last in eight. Had a couple more things. It's okay -- there's -- lot of minorities and hit you can either tomcat Alley now did you put. Oh of course he did you -- that's what I get -- out there I could you -- you know high I can develop a website accurately but I I -- I was thinking myself who's the biggest candidate make him -- and I'll begin with Tom you know expertise and computers will only get out -- the top FBI smart she's not -- like him."

Play from 29:19[29:19]" But that's something and then it was remain a member Rene Atlanta -- email anymore she native went at it -- her away. Do I don't know I don't know how -- the main point is Kelly girls obviously school league. But beyond that help any question about it -- global top Gasol because that was like as it needed years and after she got through the you know lawsuits against news. There's a criminalize every reasonable one he was obviously to be baby pictures -- has also blog and you simply just somebody -- there are some photos up there of -- and one of them he's barely dressed. I was surprised. So he could not. Sure thing right. Apparently at the half a centimeter by a half out of this is considered technical -- as good as I would say if there's all legible do you I was talking a little baby photos of -- there's no pictures and she knows it's a whole lot about you if there's pictures of media there than they've gotten through legal. Well I know only one picture that on the website the one on the front page of the more than one while that I have to look at it because I was aware that the look at the flexing like having -- on his -- is one way -- and giving talk something. Like get a baseball cap body like -- walking to his morning -- yeah experience that I would definitely accurate that out that when he print that out. But the others. You speaking I don't -- the -- gallery is as a whole gallery I've never seen this pitcher before -- like. It's like a form you can fill out what you like I I -- look at this added goal at that point. I think it's what I click on the thing it just went to the front page that I knew that like actions so I didn't I didn't look at -- I don't I'd never in my life -- the -- at all costs went up my mother where we're up my mother's like I have no idea. I've never seen this pitcher I don't know Abdul. Well well there was a little bigger that's pretty much everyday I mean I just I was inaccurate I spoke -- the second class it. I was speaking under present from my memory I do not know with the pitchers problem I don't why it's not -- it you don't Seattle wake up they were back colts you don't like prized I don't like things about these are our secret. It thank you for I would prefer to let let's get a look I don't like how -- look like old video -- over and she knows that I'm Matt Damon lookalike Odom bring it on Gallagher right where some guys and Zito might match you. Admitted it was a girl. I just don't buy your work out -- actually India -- art teacher for -- 60. I -- something else."
