[0:03]" Wanna go on live. That they've won -- case is patriots playbook back. I'm -- Sunday's game. Right from the very start of the 2007 season. -- we race and nothing but the best inside -- political absolutely nothing but the back. Absolute finest in production facilities and everything going on -- Gary. I was so that it happened back when you for another edition and another season the patriots playbook. Right era patriots dot com radio my name is John wrote in his we're talking about with Brendan Andy and mom all this but it was into the -- this is seven season pictured what what normally we can take our -- Hiatus our offseason immediately upon the conclusion of the patriots season in -- feel W guys continue with one day a week. And bring it in everything around here because hey they work here in the stadium they produce. You know favorite football weekly southern position to do that but we're happy that we can add a little bit more during the season. And traditionally we've always started right after the first game."
[1:48]" And seeing is the first game is in the books. The patriots had a rather resounding 38 to 14 win over the jets on Sunday we're here with season seven. A patriots playbook compatriots dot com radio and like the other guys we're here. With you Tuesdays to Fridays we're alive version of the show from Tuesday through Thursday and then we replay the best of on Fridays 40 and of course of Friday is also part of patriots Friday on 89 he has been a Boston a year a lot of that programming during the this time frame. Accidentally as well on Fridays but nevertheless we're here during the middle of the week. And we're here to get you not only taking care of and sort of wrap things up a nice neat little bowl from the previous weekend's game. Whether it be a Saturday or Sunday or Monday that's what we're usually here -- on Tuesday's but. We also rose -- take our first look at the next week's game on Tuesday. And then of course we spend predominately Wednesday and Thursday shows doing nothing. But previewing and looking forward to the next game on the schedule we do also spend some time on this program for those of you that our first time listeners you've never heard this program before. Or maybe you've kind of heard it on and off over the course the last six seasons again this is your number seven that was at this program is a part of patriots dot com radio. But dumb we'll spend some time looking at other games in other issues in other news items from around the NFL. Especially those particular instances games. News out of what have you that affect or indirectly affect the patriots. Now and I don't Thursday's. We will be joined this year once again for the fourth fifth year -- Russell Baxter who's the in a -- research coordinator for ESP and little and he'll join us on Thursdays. And if you've listened to our program all in years past. This guy is with this -- if he's really kind of era watched. That shows stump the Schwab money as -- how we Schwab you know the guy that knows everything. Russell knows everything about the NFL he is the human computer when it comes to the National Football League around ESPN and espn.com he has been radio and in everything that is ESPN related to the National Football League. Out of there Bristol, Connecticut headquarters in all runs the Russell and he takes. 30 to 40 minutes of his time on -- to give us his inside not only in the patriots in the upcoming game. But also we take a quick look around the league we preview the match ups what every week is coming through and he will take your emails as well. So that's coming up on Thursday's Wednesday's primarily will spend our time looking at the opposition. We'll talk to members of the media will also listen to some of the interviews that we have not only from the patriots locker room -- the conference calls that are conducted with the members of the patriots media with the opposing team players and coaches are involved. And we will play that for you on Wednesday shows and the one thing that I really like about this particular program in this format and doing this for you here on on them up from two to 4 PM eastern time. Is that we can do more long form of programming we can place things in -- in parity we don't play just snippets or soundbites all the we have plenty of that to. But we can play it and you can hear the questions from the media themselves and you get the full context of what's being said so you have the understanding for yourself and you. Can make the decisions as to what is appropriate what's not what's a good question what's not you know you become their for a more educated fan. And follower. A pro football and of course the New England Patriots I like to think that you know if you. Listen to this program from two to 4 PM eastern time on weekdays you get a little bit smarter. With the same -- that you a bit more brain dead I haven't quite figured that part out but. At any rate that's part of what we do Tuesday's like is that we will recap a little bit more. On what happened the previous week you talk about some of the leave the between the lines issues and of course we've gotten a couple of those that we will get to your. And a bit is artifacts from the -- win over the jets on on Sunday. But we'll also start taking a look at at the at the charges of because of the enormity of the game week two of the season and he got two teams going at each other who are in the -- he's in his last year in the chargers thought that they should've won the game felt like it won the game the patriots beat them and there's some you know bad blood ill will want to have even though the coordinators and head coach are gone for the chargers you know it's still largely personnel -- the same team and whatever we've got all week to build it up and we will do that in fact -- later on you can always email me what is on your mind. Whether it has to do with the jets game -- the previous week's game. Or -- do something a question with the upcoming game or asked to do it an issue surrounding now with the patriots but around somebody else in the National Football League whether it's the pats the upcoming opponent previous opponent or maybe it's another. You know. You know hot news topic. Conversations -- I mean honestly I wish that I had the opportunity. -- speak with you among the go in the -- Michael big story was breaking down because it was an issue that went beyond. Just the -- in the nose and just the issue plain games. And obviously you have your own opinion that I'm not going to really built back in that at this time but that's the kind of thing will tackle when that stuff hand happens during the course the season. Will tackle here inside the playbook. Because I do believe that anything happens all of a national newsworthiness. It's certainly indirectly affects the patriots because the patriots being in the NF mean let's face it affects all -- fans is. Members of the media you know team employees whatever. It affects us. So we will be dealing with those topics here on the program and yes there will be plenty of interviews I guess it will have members of the visiting team's media. On occasion wall some visit in interview -- members of the patriots media who you read it either online or you know home in the newspapers or hardcover what have you we'll get them -- the program will get their thoughts and you'll have an opportunity not only this and then emails well you can call in just like a regular talk radio program. On your local radio station wherever you may be listening and you can call and talk to these folks as well. You'll have that opportunity but mostly what I want to do in the show. Is that want to hear from you now there have been some of you I'm sure have been dedicated listeners who have been. With patriots dot com radio since its inception who have been with patriots playbook in this particular program since its inception in 2001 in course having patriots dot com radio only began a year -- before that so but we came in 2001 in this is our seventh year in you know and a lot of you have emailed me. During the season every year. And I am really looking for -- and re connecting with the in. Finding out not only how your summers went well what your what's on your football mind at this stage in what can I help you with what can I answer what can I give you an opinion on how can I you know how can I help you enjoy the sport -- I helped you become all of a more informed or entertain what have you that's what it's all about we're all. Yes we are all football fans here. I'm they -- the patriots an -- member of the media. I'm a do my journalistic do and played down the middle as best as possible I don't want to Sunday when -- a game. But here in this particular forum. I am a team employee but I will call it as I see. Now we'll give you some thoughts on the whole spike gate thing that's going on but the bats in a couple of moments and I'm sure that you still have your own thoughts as well I'm -- that the POW guys between today and in -- with the patriots Monday yesterday -- from the WEEI guys in Boston that in -- plenty of that opinion has already been shared. You may however not a had a chance. To get your two cents worth in on -- you may not have heard. Whatever is transpiring and so you might want to be kept up today because you may not have paid attention your computer. Quite possible you were away from the computer even though we show continues to stream because you like listen to a -- you working. Quite frankly that's the overwhelming number of relentless. Like great feedback in the last few years from those of you who simple -- this program while you're at work and it helps pass the day. Great happy to have you welcome to the program glad you're part of it make sure you fire off an email every now and then. You know whenever there's a little -- actually office. And let me know what's going on -- question is in if I personally can't answered I'll find somebody that will -- that's one thing that will promise you -- program. On so we -- media members you'll hear from players you'll you'll hear. You know from fellow we mailers will take your phone calls -- the program will jump into it. And which ought to have two hours of your football both on and off of the field throughout the 2007 season in -- so we look forward to the playoffs in 2008 as well. Either they will realize based on what we saw on the field this last Sunday that -- that they become I'm not going out of out on the limb here. I think you know the patriots know down the hallway the PFW guys know heck even Gary knows. We're going to get ready for the playoffs it's a little ludicrous to really talk about it at this stage of the game I understand it but this is team that. Will be in the playoffs it is not in this season is a catastrophic failure. Tolerance to. Catastrophic failure. Now we don't know what will happen over the course of the next 15 weeks god forbid somebody -- you know -- knock on wood I'm doing that right now. Reverse double whammy get rid of the -- I'm very superstitious when it comes -- is very very superstitions I think most sports fans are I have to sit just the way if there's a good play that I don't move. I just don't move. You know in my hand propped up against my face you know arm leaning on the counter a much here at home if there's good play that happens when that happens and I don't boo until -- too bad play -- I changed positions. You something that it mean you have a superstition you follow -- good thing that we gotta get out of pleased to open up we we will talk about all kinds of crazy things -- on the program. Both with the patriots and just in general football -- cents. Web radio at patriots dot com that the email address it's the same email address as it always has been. Here on patriots Montgomery.

And he now that we've sort of set the table and re acquaint yourself with you -- main."
[13:30]" Oh by the way we podcasting gig in the you're Gary. We're podcasting to -- like that. So if you miss a show on Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday. You can always downloaded for later play back -- your ipodder in -- how about that is that not great is -- technology wonderful. So you don't have to miss a single addition.

And will kind of do what is known business -- we could we want journalism -- pay attention we want you -- you know follow along why well because we think we give you good product here. -- mean you've got a lot of choices to make when your serve in the way right you come here because your fan or follower of the patriots and with the NFL. And large I mean we do get a lot of opposing team fans listening why because we're the only team that offers this kind of daily live programming. Where they only wants. -- things on the website but it's press conferences or some video thing clips or what have you. But they don't do live radio programming like the patriots do and we do your patriots dot com radio that's what we call it. Patriots dot -- only to in the gives that we do get a lot of opposing fans as well and I welcome. Opposing viewpoints on this program I do I want to hear from chargers fans. I want to hear from jets fans and when you come up on the schedule on your team comes up and get ready to play the patriots. I want to hear from you to any steeler fans listening you all suck no you don't you know so. There's loves to -- that indictment that was from an email I read a few years ago we are ready for the Steelers. I say we in a collective -- I don't -- that that ended for me back in junior high school with. Basketball is my sport of choice and you know or because I was one of the shall I say -- late matures. Did you relate okay are right there I senate that's just the way it is I was fight beaten up when guys were already 62 in the locker."
[15:32]" That's very -- happened. It's taken me all these years to come to grips of that too so. Arm but we digress and we do that often here in the program on let's get back to the issue over the camera and whether or not I I have to admit I'm I'm I'm kind of at a loss. For really I'm I'm really kind of at a loss for a."
[16:02]" No one -- kind of filed this and I won't tell you it's only because when -- first all the story yesterday that probably Chris Morton's and broken espn.com. In courses subsequently been handed out in and followed up by not only members of the media here in Boston from -- Mike -- the globe and I believe who from the herald was on top of that. Oh yes John to mossy he had an article in this morning's herald -- that you know -- continue to follow it as well today active in my first impression was in and police. If your first impression was anything different I'd really like to hear from here but but first impression was what who cares 38 to 14 was a significant but thrashing. So how could that have possibly made a difference in a close game you might. Find it somewhat plausible but if you know anything about football. If you know anything about what goes on down on the sidelines and the conversation that happened -- coaches and upstairs in the box and downstairs in the choreography that it takes an end in the struggle that it takes you know people talk it over people. If you have ever experienced professionals sidelined. In a football sense but you will know is I'd do that it is just damn near impossible. To turn around something like is being portrayed here a signal from a jets' coach being filmed. In turn it around in order to be able use it in a very short amount of time against the team that you're shooting. -- this is not an excuse I'm -- the patriots didn't do something. But I just find it. I just find it I just I think I'm a little incredulous about -- personal I just don't see how they could decipher."
[17:52]" And turn it around and use it. On Sunday in turn it around that quickly I think that's just damn near impossible. If you know anything about what goes on the sidelines and who is on headsets. I -- just. -- there's 85 guys talking to watch is like the big show on steroids you know on the everybody talks it wants."
[18:18]" There you go it's hard to do now I would by the fact that maybe just maybe. If this is this this alleged occurrence happened again we don't know yet for certain. What if this did happen I would buy that they would. If they did this that it would have been for something on down the line say the next matchup for the jets that I could find a heck of a lot more plausible. If it wasn't the Brian they've all it was a former patriots coach employee. Who blew the whistle on the pats -- naturally he would have some knowledge of that -- happened in the past between him and Eric Mangini maybe this is just their way of kind of you know. Look at their nose back up their former employers this is all part of gamesmanship and I also find the fact that the patriots actually did do this. Why they would want to why would it be that open about it. I am like you know if they're gaining anything beneficial from a why would they do it. I heard a great analogy of what this whole thing is like earlier today. In the analogy was this whole story this whole situation is like when you take your wife to the beach. And what do you do when you take your wife to the beach you know. Probably you know it doesn't mean you can't look. At the other pretty girls in bikinis opened on the beach or whatever it is that way in which probably look at him through shades. Right sneak a peak every now -- I think will realize that that's allowable. But you know if you."
[19:46]" camera. And you're taking photos and say -- telephoto or you know can you claim the lens formula like shoot videotape that fox well you know that's just right disrespectful it will probably get you in the -- with your wife anyway right. And that's how I look at this whole story I really believe that's a great analogy for the entire story we all look. We all. Catcher glance we all might look the other direction there's nothing in the rule books of the national -- this as you can and cannot look at the xsilence and watch the coaches do what they do. Unless you've worked for team you don't have any idea what goes hand signals mean. And I don't know if you know there's -- those hand signals change from week to week. So unless someone spilled the beans from the inside of an organization you don't really know what those hand signals me. You don't I don't you don't Gary doesn't -- of W doesn't the players don't know. Former coaches don't know they might give you an educated guess you might get lucky. And guess right chances are you won't."
[20:55]" This is not an excuse. I am not making up for the patriots if they cheated and I think that's a little bit of a harsh word. I know that there are a lot of fans a lot of teams around -- the NFL now we're thinking you know what the patriots need to get their comeuppance here you know why don't. Strip -- of draft picks let's nailed a little ball. Bastards went too much. You know -- will be the evil team now. You know in the eyes of it we have already been you know the bad guys we will be and we are going to be in you know we're becoming that now. -- and give WS -- into their program I have an hour ago you know with one of the callers that the call on the show you are you okay with that as the patriots hardly keep winning as long as they do everything. It within their power to keep the competitive team on the field are you okay with that -- parents that. And that's my question to you want to take that a step further."
[21:52]" If whatever is alleged to have happened happened worst case scenario if that happened as a patriots fan. Are you okay -- as long as they keep winning."
[22:06]" Web radio at patriots dot com is the email address 5 wait 5437482 is a telephone -- you're calling you talk about them. We'll get into them that's that's one of the questions now the latest on this. Comes from Mike recent Boston Globe. And they briefly talked about this during PO WK she just logging in and tuning in the program mr. Kraft patriots chairman CEO commented on these allegations that someone always illegally spying on the jets' sideline to -- their signals the quote is there's an investigation going on now perhaps an adjudication of it and I think it would be inappropriate at this time to make any comment. The question was asked about craft having pride in his players and for the question finished -- and said this. I think what happened Sunday and a lot of fans are excited about this upcoming season. I know our family organization is very excited when you're indeed successful in anything a lot of people. Like to try to take you down and do different things we understand there. We have a lot of people who worked very hard that you heard some of the players speak about it. Yeah in particular I will tell you that you've probably seen or even heard the quote from Ellis Hobbs. It's an -- much you and a pair prison when Ellis said over the last couple days. We were way too damn harder on your sheet we don't do any cheating I don't know what you would nobody I know cheats and that paraphrasing is what almost constantly yesterday. And I tend to agree that those guys are way too busy."
[23:40]" With taking care of their mission man on man mission. To worry about who's stealing signals from somebody else now if you know anything about the history of the NFL. You know that the jets -- the jets fans always wind or some of the biggest whiners. That exist in professional sports much less the National Football League. I don't know why they wind but they do David -- their New York nature I don't know. I'm not from New York don't want to be from New York like going to New York visiting but -- like working in New York from time to time but jets fans' point. They really do as a maybe this just one. You've got beat 38 to 14. Man out the socket it's time to move on you've got another shot at the pats bring it later this season and -- thought that's really. The extent of it. Now the patriots did do something. Illegal especially if they did something illegal that they've been warned about in the past. Which is alleged as well that yes the -- should be punished I will not skirt that issue."
