[1:38]" W -- progress soon fine man band big -- Home planet kind of government grants them afternoon."

[1:56]" Thursday January 11."

[2:00]" All wrapped up it's awful sure they're wolf -- called -- you know. Directed at people who go to your name had radio off on Saturday though. Hopefully they -- that. Here they'll see you from a group I'd feared in a little they might."

[2:26]" All right I got so that covered through last week with a big profits you know -- welcome to another extended it -- him. Especially -- It's expected it to agitated a look at were not going longer than two the hope that that would still on air. It's it's still a miracle. The FW it progress extended as the patriots keep waiting there this playoff season the other the other."

[2:55]" They've wind is history of big waves for this team in the era of the patriots. In doubt wouldn't talk about that talk about the colts game coming up and a huge day go on down there I mean. This is immediate -- times -- in matches because they have more pizza. I mean -- it just it just trotting up player after player. To the podium in you'll be able to hear all those press conferences in their entirety patriots dot carved throughout the day Chris Ferreira web master. -- stuff up there for you to listen to download whatever you want to do so it's huge huge."

[3:32]" It's chippy I noticed that should be excited for after that after that -- win on on Sunday and and you come. Wednesday's a lot of excitement around stadium. You know I know that when you've been there before you tend to kind of take things for granted by two wins away from another super bull now. Talk about what's that he's right that feel -- well absolutely but when we have had. Richard Seymour day program might rebel Tom Brady at the podium today. And I have the -- Mark Tedy Bruschi Troy brown -- Ty Warren usually talking with the AC every week it's just. This is his usual till Friday agree couple people from each team down at the headquarters wherever the championship is that -- that this year. Now I guess what they're doing is going to happen at the podium on Friday and then going to be tell televised live on NFL network so. There's no need as well as could rubble we always we have everything all the time every day special agents icon -- huge. -- you know I was ballots today any any words with them that we want to talk about -- the good -- very good we know in mid season form you know look obviously he wasn't having any of this defensive right it's for a for Indianapolis sees this a good -- that's according to build ballots -- Nothing's changed they've played well date you know forced turnovers -- you know he made special -- and we saw that ourselves right here in the game in November. Bob Sanders not a one man -- man Bob Sanders a very good football player all right. But he's no one man that's not it's not album pop standards and he also it is preemptive strike in his opening comments on. This hasn't you know co -- in our divisions still seems like went twice he has lot of history but none of that matters. You know we're -- the -- goes on but we're talking about this Sunday all the matters -- who plays well mr. So our -- was his his Normal self -- you know yet did you think India I thought he was his Normal self. Especially -- understanding that there's a little bit of a national audience he's not. I think if this game was mid season might have been a little cranky -- but he sort of answer a couple of questions on Adams sort of being you know qaeda. -- things but stayed focused to all the matters is how we play Sunday not -- history not the players all get answers some questions about a little bit -- You know all the respect in the world -- bright you know problem lightning a lot of victories in I think -- his mid season he shoots that down just -- cut them off and he didn't do that he gave a short but. And now that was also quick trip down memory lane which -- to have one of the plan colts radio one of them out of town guys who like -- so I don't know what was by. He was talking to add Matra -- yesterday about -- wanted to really you know his anecdotes of boat working for the -- and 75 a little closet he was it was -- yet talked about with which the walking now buttons across the street only practiced at the high school cross country -- a middle school team -- great football team would do it. But he said you know he could never repaid him riveting you -- in all of football in that room he said than anywhere -- Never pay him for the appointment as we can so that's cool let out with the guys coming out just -- on ago. With the guys coming out to the podium where that lets people available -- yet that's abuse on unions really although PFW made out okay that would lead. -- in detox who Larry Izzo Tom talked to Roosevelt Colvin. Large contingents around Ellis -- Artrell Hawkins -- Banta-Cain. The offensive line still seems like there I don't like I was talking to a couple people sort of one on ones -- who has light. I didn't see an island and it's and talk to anybody coming up a great game and -- the kind of -- blowing the I'm vocal go to guy gang bang type thing -- that whatever. That room but that's who referred -- in the locker when about 50 guys don't talk to one aero wise but -- actual -- yes it's nothing dirty it's. I call -- its wares on the show all the time but he you know is talking one on one that I yet the offensive line is that it's not -- after the game you know clearly that was coming -- their best game of the year. And then there -- remaining on the quiet front but in the performance record of them. There's a lot of excitement though it says a lot of enthusiasm around here bill made several mentions of we're very excited to be in this game this every team's goal at the start of the season. One of four teams left it would very excited to be here and he made comment about the colts and patriots both haven't won the wild card game ball gone on the road and divisional round to win bowl team deserve to be. Now I I had to bow out of our show last a -- I'm sick probably people can tell. But I was watching got four amazingly I. You look I usually hit and there's nothing better in the -- Fred durst and you guys were just that all over the patriots the patriots in this game really don't think that's anyway they lose you what let me rephrase that is that there's a 2% chance that they lose. And that's just that they're so emotionally drained from the game. On Sunday in bill actually admitted that's that's that's a concern. Today which I was a little surprised that he was asked about it. He said he he already addressed the team about it and it is something to be concerned about. He thinks by you know it's Wednesday now let's in the past that's over with another one of those that they get a different time he might have snapped that but he seemed like he was playing along a little bit today. I mean I could see an answer to that being you know all all offseason to rest I mean that's what you play forward you know cool new -- be in this behavior and now there's no reason -- be during. So with -- there was one example and not playing on I want to get the exact quote that he said but he was asked about. The post game antics oh really -- still they're still talking about that. While the the first line of they've. I thought since I gotta tell -- that the guy last question and no stone -- like yes trying to round about -- to the topic without asking well now assess it was the question was there any procedures that you want your team to call after the game and this is the beginning middle and end of the quote we try to handle those situations the same as we always -- So not playing along I would manager more than that with the way the guy asked the -- utterly esoteric quality day events like the guys to take their pads off that I used to like -- to shower with some clean clothes on get on the bus I mean it was a stupid question. Beyond."

[10:33]" Any got -- you know that kind of response -- With the colts having played on Saturday that he gave them Sunday Monday Tuesday. Like the way he's handling it out there I do like that actually I think noted on the -- Why wouldn't you I mean that's -- I know but -- coaches you can start preparing for both teams and then once one of the teams win you can go all born to the coaching in the game plan but. He's one of the players gain from -- support for Tony dungy this week. To try and take pressure off to try to keep his team lose to try to did not have them think about. Got -- yet another playoff season where we're you know. If we don't win it this year you know what acts."

[11:20]" You think it's important for him it is I don't know -- I feel it is not a lot of pressure on him I think I. -- had this -- I think all the pressure from the patriots really I did a better team and everybody knows. But that's not the -- stumbling into the game remaining stone -- haven't played well but it it's not Arab with a better team is right now idea yet another opportunity for the -- it is but I I think it. Well maybe I -- I think most people I've listened to nationally helping the patriots are better -- minute when but that was the I think I think -- right on the -- and the Patriot -- I think he's been in the -- check the -- I always -- you a -- this we know that's not what I'm saying I think I think that's what Tony -- telling his -- but I always. Yes absolutely but I think that most people think the patriots that way. The most people think that in this -- the situation the patriots always waited. That that velocity it's each one of the cold Apple it was a pity on his white people in the -- gonna win the cold -- I've just added of people make the pages -- when it better. I think people at this time of the year think they're better. We're -- topic going to San -- the time well I think I I think -- are better team I think it it has everything all right -- I think -- just watched the last month of gains for -- and that's -- one he looks -- shouldn't be in the post season and won his -- put it once in a -- the -- used to -- I know a lot of you guys you know just a week -- were -- of the -- with a team. -- an ultimatum was that me. Well but the colts beat them. Kenya where -- people at this -- wasn't what but it but it that's what you Paul don't worry about it right. For -- not wanted -- all worked up by because he's just making stuff and he part about that stuff up I think a lot of people would -- the reagans were the team to beat. In the AFC and the -- of so what does that make the cult's. I thought that one into two entities -- and I thought the patriots my argument was if the patriots could get past the chargers. I thought the ravens were going to win and I thought it was very difficult go back to back on the road to physical teams that win but that's been taken away the colts knocked off that a -- speak for myself well I think I'll speak for most people when I say most people think the patriots are the better. Okay right that pile -- though not by a helluva lot. It got home. The colts have a good chance to win this game and I think as far as their fans state in as far as their over thinks I think. They think that we should win this game and I think the pressure is on the colts'. I agree with a lot of what you and I and pressure on the patriot because everybody thinks is the better team just assumes the patriots are gonna win. And I think that makes you gonna put them work into it to get that assumed result. Well I you know I I still think I agree -- I think they are the better but I don't think it's that much better. It and I think that play at a home. You know home crowd. This is what they've always wanted you know to have AFC championship -- at home no question this this is yet but it didn't play out. I mean all along the talk was well the colts had the pages in the regular season the AFC championship would be an -- on the air turbine maker bottle block. Now I doubt it. Out -- but not really if played out."

[14:53]" I understand what your point is but I think I would definitely be in line what you're thinking if last year India beaten Pittsburgh in the patriots have beaten Denver. And we will and we went to in the initiative which I would say 1000% of the pressures on the -- Because of the perceived best team in the conference playing at home by they've always -- about never getting their game at home oh here it is right now. Nobody sees the -- has been investment conference matter fact everybody perceives him as being the fourth well -- to the colts think that the patriots are better than. Well -- that's that's a question you have to ask them I don't know I doubt it. Now I'm like bill bottoming out I can't tell you I I tell you what the -- a thing."

[15:34]" I doubt that the colts think that the patriots are better than them right now they may not and I I might add up to I believe they think they should win this game. Well of course that what you want to play it loud you can show I think the pressures of that Paul. The release of the patriots think they're gonna win the game to beat the patriots think they should win but the patriots have. Gotten there before the colts -- half. And I really think of coming at it let's listen as kind of an irrelevant bank because most blacks Latinos who really -- sort of pressures on most well I think. Pressure I think I guess what happens I think perhaps the charges last week with pressure identify -- was -- last yet they okay. And they open -- and I think this week departures on the patriots and they won't well I disagree I think the page that pressures on the -- I think it's both let's face. -- take what you are supposed to winning game quote unquote supposed to. The pressures on you okay why I think more pressures of the colts this week because of the situation in its history I don't think anybody expect expected him to go to the levels I don't think there's a lot of pressure they think with the patriots. But now given what what is left people more expect the patriots go to who well and they do the -- I'm more concerned about what the colts think about themselves than what people. In the -- No that they've got to witness IP address patriots I mean -- going there to win both teams are going -- I'd be interested to hear what our listeners that cool has more pressure on the this day. Patriots articles. I'm guessing our listeners political life because of -- the whole meaning -- getting over the top there but I just think it's such here. Pizarro postseason where he's playing like -- So there's. It's almost like you don't expect them to get over the hump this year so there's no pressure there replacing they can't do this the run defense that the blue. Herman Edwards won the game for them the first week I agree Paul Lewis couldn't play the next week but Steve McNair in the wet ball theory. Everybody thinks they've -- it -- it well you know -- so there's no pressure their what I -- well here they wear out their private don't you think that -- even though he's given -- interviews in -- team win loss blah blah -- he knows that he can't play like that against the patriot I think -- I got an incredible amount of pressure on himself every single -- game he prepares for. Maybe to a detriment of his performance at times. But I don't mean that changes this week because of anything that happened outside of that and I managed to ask your opinion -- it if what they've Manning goes out of three decks -- the patriots ruled -- and you gonna say that clearly that was more pressure on -- And it showed. That was a baby that -- can't take the pressure. That's I don't understand I could tell you what I think I I I I don't think and it has been a very good plan a quarter outlook in life why is he can't take the pressure. Okay that that's why -- patterns to a wide net in turn means there's more pressure on the -- just because the patriots can handle the measurement of chemicals doesn't mean does not want pressure on them last -- share -- point 51 with a watch here. At 1130 had a point 74 with a two year so we had another 11 point two that's excellent. Great big bonus time -- W a I think I think combined that's the best with that -- that we out of point nine something for one I was last week it would. Maybe but I think what Adam could the first what might have been. I think this is -- someone you guys said the sounds like we're basically now consistently over a one we are reluctant to share for that -- show with pretty good on cable that's like us seven and a half point and broadcast TV and cable is that it's it's. More like community cable. I don't know why we just took the -- shots now what's happened. The petrol that's pretty good -- threat yet to get back to -- helps everybody there's two ways I see this on."

[19:23]" Holding that the patriots -- one is -- I think they did have an emotional game against the jets I grin across the country emotional game chargers -- they were all lather up I mean they were emotional right. And that if you have a let down you can lose any time against anyone if you let them. The second is Peyton Manning is a born loser much the way Tom -- describes himself. And the -- win the game but he throws or pick the people say you know what they finally won but not because -- he did his best to screw it up he's still a loser and I think that would be the ultimate irony for him to just like. Implode right and I think those are the only two ways because I just think pages of the better football team right now. As much as bill wants to tell -- that's a pretty good defense. You going to tell me they like I'm from allowing a 175 yards a game to all of a sudden there is -- it says snapping his -- mean they've done nothing difference dramatically. Nothing -- changed. I would dispute that from the schematic the apartment I think -- made it pretty significant change that no one really talked about it now. They put rob Morse and at linebacker in place of -- Gilbert gardener. And evidently. And we remember rob -- been around you know for a lot of smart he he he appears boring to represent his -- her right but he's a bigger -- he's been replaced for no I don't -- place the royal planet like auditions where they try to replace him -- just couldn't he's a much bigger guy and I think -- he's probably daughter against the run. I don't think that's going to meet me at battery Philippines against patriots because instead of a team just trying to do one thing the patriots can do. Both things if they choose that immunity it would run the ball and roll the ball against him -- But I I really Andy is nothing in Indy defense is still not a very good you don't just because they played well in the playoffs doesn't mean it's suddenly -- What about the fact that the pay the the colts defense did play well against the patriots when they played them earlier this year relate turned the -- Rated -- and they generally stop molest they were causing turnovers now if that happens again absolutely unique and went right. Now if Tom Brady plays the -- difference in Diego -- can win -- there's no question because Peyton Manning if given those opportunities will find ways to get the bosnians whereas San Diego didn't do that enough."

[21:33]" Just a quick couple emails -- precious Scott comes down on both sides says that the pressure both teams is the same if they win they go to the symbol that was ago hope what's the game starts I doubt. Players feel any pressure. Who -- I didn't watch too close sat on Sunday as that game was winding down let's -- just as his fingers on the other side of the -- really getting tight. Justices colts have a -- more pressure than the patriots this is our fourth AFC championship in six years. We lost that a high profile players no one expected us to do anything meanwhile. And it has 800 relatives that that he has never been with Super Bowl can't beat the path to big spots even -- I hope we simply can't get over the any of the -- a restaurant that's no doubt."

[22:18]" The only question I would ask I think everything -- that is right humanoid I sort of disagree with the premise. The only thing I would ask that as well do you think is a better team -- do you think is going to win the game not do you think the colts are going to choke but -- think is a better team. Because I don't think anybody thought the colts choked when they came here in all three in all 40 about the patriots -- better so what do you think is better. That's my only question --"

[22:39]" Says Eddie the pressure is on the colts they supposedly have the best QB in the league. -- got it all that stuff but the real reason the -- that the the -- because the chip which gave his ballot the colts out not the -- if we win of the RCA -- that I think Napoleon or -- Tom in the face PS look for the -- to walk probably off the field -- not in the locker room."

[23:02]" I I just don't agree that I I think the pressure will be on them in their place. If they were the number one seed that they've earned during the year and they could go into the post season thing you know what we finally get over the hump. Now we have to make good on what we -- by being the number one -- I just feel like when you sort of back into hosting as the fourth seed. I mean that preceded it it it doesn't carry the same pressure not everybody expect calls the nobody knows that's why don't think this judgment -- not a petrochemicals there's a tremendous market trying to patriots I think it's BR it's less what other people think it will what they think of themselves that's why this pressure on any yemenis edit every team has as an insurmountable amount of pressure but."

[23:40]" Everybody was that have a history of losing in big spots like this 1. I am not talking about guys that were guys that are have. -- through it I mean these same guys that kept -- was this isn't like a ten years ago 20 years ago the history of recent histories and players have this experience into it that we haven't been able to win these big day all."

[24:04]" Somebody brought up to me in the walker Chris Kennedy peace 8182 76ers known about them. Did drew a comparison I guess they. We're in the against the Celtics at times it couldn't get over I don't know -- I'd let it hurt by the throw went up three wanted it all 81 the sixers won at 31. And so this came back to win the series on them and went on -- title in 82 again in the Eastern Conference files sixers won at 31 on the Celtics. And it and the Celtics came back to one games five and six game seven in Boston. And Philly beat them. And everybody thought it would that was they found a company lost in the finals 831. In Africa the team he used drawing a comparison other sports teams that had to get over the hump. Against arrival obviously the Yankees Red Sox one is one of them to go through them. One who was there more pressure on -- Bruins Canadians that's an example Fred. And in 2004 you -- it was more pressure on the Red Sox the Yankees."

[25:07]" At that time. Well I mean the Yankees was supposed to win. There was insurmountable but -- you'd you'd -- hear -- the -- Had choked it every every level I'm -- actually in the US tropical -- say. The the reason why the Yankees don't feel the pressure even though they use both the -- like the colts who is currently have one in the and I'm saying the Yankees had the pressure on. In that series. The Red Sox had always sure I don't just like a -- internally they felt -- it kind of pressure that the colts -- feeling well you could've fooled me of watching game 67 -- all about it and you get to you and you know attract some didn't feel it. Well by the time he got the game seven war differences while interject comical it was so there won't be doing truck with a game to -- appointment are right web radio -- comets -- good discussion web where radio pages dot com is the email address five wait five with 37482. Is the phone number get a lot of emails coming and people just. Excited about this game should be this is unbelievable what's going on here what we've been witnessing I mean. Mid season did you really think that the patriots could get it together like they have no did you really think that Jabar -- put up to back to back a hundred yard receiving games like --"

[26:29]" Without getting too far ahead of ourselves we started talking yesterday where this would rank in terms of the bills coaching jobs. I put this at the top because I don't think the team is all that talented and people's okay 2001 they weren't all right. The differences in my mind that was something specialties snuck up on people you're the underdog knowing really took you seriously into having -- this one. These -- the -- people hate the bakery is why did you think of dynasty these seasonal lords didn't -- because ballots that would be hands down coaches the Yankees that a great coaching job I don't think he's. I'm Alan if I I agree it's all well but I do want to give them credit is not like pride stable outlook what these wide receivers that I want to give credit to -- the program. True I hate battle we -- he could whether it's the system of the players that you get into it clearly both. And players made plays a mean Reche Caldwell love him hate him whatever. He got open and made -- she had to Stephen got out he made the it -- that doesn't work without the players making the place. It you know I I just think that these are good coaches real coaches -- making any brings up a really good point though -- the -- ballots have been because I think there is I mean I don't think there's any question this team is far superior talent 2001 patriots so if you looked on the surface it. That was a medical problem that he's not only know if -- wanted a more pressure tested but he's right -- if you if you look at if you look at the way that they went out won those games in 2001. Right up to the very end up to vote and the Super Bowl -- took them seriously we remember all the comments that I -- I told you Chile was intended pumped and I told -- has not -- you know right up to the very into the game they still didn't think the patriots who merry go. Nobody does that Owens joined that anymore -- once -- patriots aren't very good when I'm going to put it only took 67 years but now my point is. They've had to beat them which still maybe a little bit. This -- this might be of better coaching job if you really look I even know they're not coming directly office Super Bowl win. People still give them the best because they're still the measuring stick for greatness in the NFL over this period. So I think that's a pressure that that 2001 team never felt at 2001 team just cruised into games. Getting you know with reporters predicting 77 to three losses or whatever they were and you know what they took it and they worked -- and they want but. This year they've gotten other team's best and their position to go on another uncomfortable Tucson, Arizona you're on."
