And it's Friday here at Gillette stadium. Where you are getting ready for a free weekend and by the weekend you guys going to be watching football all take the lead off."

Play from 1:44[1:44]" I've been wait privately for the but it -- work out after work -- to go home take a shower I -- my left hand that would put a mom what -- as a comic novel but again until Monday aboard that it so you'll be watching the full slate of games available. -- that would really got on TV -- another -- versus giants Dallas game is on its I don't know -- I'll definitely watch Saturday of the game's worth watching. You all right the awful now and he knows when it's on me and I won't want oh games on night that'll be that I had a ball I and I won't give back in one called on India you won't watch any games Italy all of I'm not going to watch too bad teams plan now. You don't watch it anyway. One which one -- game in particular -- data does it gave mine I don't want to watch it no matter what. If I'm not interest. That's just my interest didn't understand the question what if I'm not interest and I managed to watch buffalo Miami football fans watched him. And as a model for the night watching game damaged our right web radio -- you watch every Monday night game. I I start every month ago. Idea yet I don't have any interest in the money and acumen don't want that I -- I'm not the issue right about football. Were down at the -- the issue he's not a football. But speaking of football. Football or -- what. With that soccer the reps all yet they've earned the right to lose him Ellis cup -- a big out out of the red. Great game last night because livable bicycle how many thought I like how many members of the shows -- I Ito. Flippant throw watched 30 seconds of the game and I saw the Kendall three out of five -- that -- is -- I have -- what the hole I bet that you watched every minute it was great I was."

Play from 3:40[3:40]" Liberate the 12 different talks that he gets and it took bicycle Carrick"

Play from 3:51[3:51]" 700 and I thought I saw an idea -- ball was a couple careless and become Maciej I didn't. It was great and I -- the great athletic but the -- for -- the problem with -- an -- that was -- that's the first -- I've -- that's a great play by the -- entertaining -- athletic. And then I hear the announcers say and they really could allow that goal by saying it was a dangerous play. You tell me the most entertaining have ever seen could've -- been disallowed on some level -- should have been. The only Connecticut guys ahead if they have a rule that says that you could pick in the -- you to disallowed -- could -- hit with a clean eagle but anyway great game by the red homer read it only right that they will be out playing in the on November 18 in watching it either what time is any city or Houston. I'm out -- to go head to head with -- why why actually. -- in between while the other game well you need two weeks have built up it's like super. That's my point exactly why why why -- out -- the -- next -- Juan -- last championship game now that was the Eastern Conference final. Great -- So you really hear about it greatness that and I try to -- people -- talking about the first five minutes of the -- up for -- that he's kind of logo on it really doesn't like -- when you talk about I don't I don't I think not being I had honestly guys -- it. -- I didn't play I don't very athletic men not a soccer stand by it's like down lately soccer soccer and I play it do you like that after it pretty amazed with the -- rock revolution's. I leave Tuesday that -- for it. All the at come together and that doesn't put the ribs and went almost. In there that it's professional. Albeit arena team would you do now oh my god why not. Because the reds average more people in the Bruins. -- you don't want you to -- arena -- I -- actually checked those numbers to you by the -- I I watched -- the when they scanned the crowd -- less than those night practices -- that -- created -- at the other -- game their after the -- of the R -- and I don't remote Michael at least -- can -- they're the best -- they don't pretend it -- football it's different sport it's a different game. And they're the best at that gate while the reds aren't even the best anyway I'll read that -- that we shot 83 but I'm -- to -- the -- let's rephrase the question -- the -- Yeah yeah. What that's priceless we really -- cameras and because that. Why the fun is watching. Oh oh yeah. You don't -- well it was -- had no not into the crap -- fun of exactly if they rented -- in -- stadium for game -- which you make -- help the team let me tell you Fred -- including 100% for the reds win it all I remember being very disappointed last year when they scored that goal in overtime which is not a whole problem with the sport -- scored goals in overtime and the game on you know while. Oh I hope that they finally going in the problem was soccer -- any more than an hour and it does every regular how many how many times is like for third in a row that they've won like for a five -- last like seven years. I heard somebody in the head or what I eat during the telecast that want to you have until we have to write it dynasty like say the greatest evil I was the -- by what I out -- 90s. Either and you know the -- only you know are the -- they when they went 14 straight division title. One World Series are no one cares let's get the football even though the patriots are playing this weekend and -- we have no game to talk about -- that's so well let's be there every other patriots employees off. -- player you're gone Leinart is gone he's gone out lie and I guess takes a year ago the rest of them there. So as one intern little busy -- work -- rated only a designer at a good clip this morning get those out there into the."

Play from 8:17[8:17]" was very bad today rate been thrown back on the football team wasn't that I like him you know like he's on the practice what we're going to -- don't have the man crush on him you do in these opening was little that you were open I was right. The -- about us being right there was a belt that nailed it on the plane you -- that he couldn't play this week he's the -- the prep squad right on the money I -- a line in might -- my -- during that he was adequately besides the practice squad later in the week Wally and he was doing and I had a culprit Dallas Clark. The secret weapon. Our -- what else we have to talk about today."

Play from 8:55[8:55]" I don't a lot of people wondering what the world might be for Troy brown. After -- three week period when they have to make it is the first you have to wonder is even activated before it is roll all I -- to be happy to be ready inactive -- you read the story teller that he the PP story that had the quote from bill and about Troy brown. About how it was limited yes I was a curious quote I did two and I wanted to ask you beat that you think that he was and he's limit he was limited. And strict sense of physically he Q do things that because of his injury. Or limited because of the rules of the NFL as much a guy on UPD not a Ayatollah do that's what I took that okay. Well now I don't media's and the any limitations on the team actually returned right he's fine but but I think -- was and let it by rule that. He can't tell practice with a virtually yet it was here it was a strange wording but I assumed it was he meant by UP rules all I could do was run with trainers and do some drills -- okay that's how I alto but -- want to build on by the rules article wonder in the back of my mind is. Is it -- a physical limits. And they would win games that we didn't hold people close -- said. He was little point received via UP in the first but I think you'd be even worse if he was put on 53 man roster and in listed among the -- That's kind of like lap they. Just let me at home that you don't -- all and -- definitely legitimate add if you don't get any -- any of those guys I don't know how you can justify. Putting him over. Over now I was reading the page -- you guys have written it might have been Paul in what your Paul's story. There was the quote from about you freaking kidding kidding me. We just talked about it for five minutes of -- reading -- they show later you'll get the answer. Reading between the lines would even ballots that they he has alzheimers or something. You get serious right now are you just playing at a batter an all time lost -- I think he's laughing trying to deflect that he's crazier I was -- our leading emails but he has no ability what -- to at least know what the conversely if you heard. While easily and email 28 I don't even priorities private or what was attic and looked for a red union in and figure we're talking about it and what was. We we don't we're trying to figure out exactly area wording we agreed but we think he was reference thing. Up to this point he was limited by UP rule and that he's not allowed to do certain things. And that no none of things that is going to be any kind of significant role Detroit and west. The rash of injuries means he'll start. Based on the way we predicted everything else that the classic. Wes -- just gets -- to a backup role Troy brown NFL lead is completely. I who well up there he's in -- the top two -- you know which Otto he what he wants and it wasn't really -- week last week that he only had five and bush on it I don't oakmont -- out of his way out via. About the look at that -- try to be well I expect -- carry that because we have a lot of receptions now. Suddenly we keep track of receptions and not you know running back too -- to attract the guy who has the most carries with -- about most yards. Like no matter what it's only negatives to it I think it is discuss I want that yard oh right good enough yet. That's why all the rest of it happening -- what do you think about Belichick giving basically the whole week."

Play from 12:54[12:54]" I liked -- trying to. You know that they've had a lot of veteran team what do they need a match is physical or mental -- all the stuff going on around the team. Let a clear there you know get him back here focused on buffalo one we talked about legitimately what they can get better one of them tackling in. In rockingham out there all week just tackling yet another title actually gap is some time off regularly Rusch would help and it gives the coach's time to legitimately do the self scouting they don't have to worry about meetings players anything they -- the team where they're predictable he where they're not he -- get better. My ball ball that a veteran team collectively if it was to witness. I would say that I don't like it but bell Lane Kiffin is -- I don't know I might think with a younger team that hadn't really."

Play from 13:40[13:40]" Being much success. I think it could be dangerous Pena to leave -- on devices -- and these guys know what it takes it to prepare themselves in stay in shape for you know 45 days -- usually going to be -- practice on Wednesday I believe it's like one -- different than they normally -- open I don't really think there's a huge difference to what -- now -- back on Monday or Wednesday Monday Monday. Okay but that one day -- little bit because ultimate goal if you lose it wherever. That extra day travel yet want to go home for a it's. Richard was going to be running and the beach somewhere on that I want to have a better answer each you wrote it did you. I don't want anyone -- on the beach and I got the quote sheet that the PR people want to add that honestly it's good night. I don't want people on the beach that's -- I think -- kind of joking it I think I'm probably going to -- out all Allen might be I put that I don't doubt Iran for a while running on the -- want to Rondell track when he's in rocky that we work outs in the and one of the most -- executive in a -- that -- yeah. With rocky rocky three with rocky and Apollo who don't -- us in the call Joe -- all right well unlock it. It's a bad it is followed by the -- which doesn't help others. Our web radio if you let our traffic email address the phone number five -- 5437482 -- you want to call up. In the patriots Monday Monday -- there -- By not -- game that will be -- Monday at a regular a -- about what they did elected. I'll get of emails out because it's vulgar comedy now though he's not coming. You know."

Play from 15:38[15:38]" whole lot of good may have asked these questions before the -- what they I was going to mention it is for patriot fans might find an interest and I heard ESPN teasing. On NFL the prize what he'll before countdown. That it's the going to go in doubt that the secret of Marion Barber punishing running style now economic might be the Walter Payton drill that I -- Minnesota in maybe they have the old -- the coach job talking about it morally talked about it before him he might be a part of that story of injury that -- that. But it might not be -- they would laws but I just thought that might yet."

Play from 16:12[16:12]" Do you have a problem with people dealing. Call -- spread it. Well I'm actually interest thing that bothered me over the years now more so than ever. That you know like initial I know people know -- gonna -- and but they won't mention this -- ever melt because you know they don't want to. You know give us any type of -- bright -- we don't need him I in the number okay."

Play from 16:41[16:41]" I agree with the -- I try I try really hard fight to open up -- way to a that I in ought not heard only a a giving example that would talking about -- Donovan McNabb any on Mike and Mike in the morning. And it and whether or not this could be it for him in Philadelphia. And milk hyper came on and I -- it really good point to an -- as as the fact who knows what's really going to happen but if he doesn't have a great second half. And he leaves Philadelphia -- make a lot of sense for Donovan McNabb you know going to brad -- often that he played in for a lot of years with the eagles. A team that really. Screaming for any kind of stability at quarterback has a decent -- and has a great young running back you don't want to waste. Maybe that's where HR resurrect his career I would never discard that you don't want. Odom makes a lot and I mean I I heard that made him think of it so you know why would you credit him if you -- show thing and -- Well I don't want to happen if your GM -- coach would you give would you want him. I would take him at reasonable money and I kind of contract it has now if you look at the quarterback -- wood to about -- at overrated blah blah blah blah. But you look at the quarterback in the NFL like -- about the vikings that's that'll -- You haven't -- huge upgrade now you become legitimate playoff team Adrian Peterson. And it could be spend oh yeah I would doubt what you mean he's not Trent Dilfer right and right somebody's coat tails all those wins at the very least he's -- 11012 quarter yeah. I mean errors more than half of the teams in the league don't have as good starting quarterback is Ian and I and I do think there's an element of and that's a that's a bit overrated and hasn't played well at least isn't that something that -- can't writing got -- feel now that they've. He -- he needs to get out of Philadelphia he can't handle that he's shown that he -- there's never been a major issue that he handled well not whether it's the racism when talking about quarterback whether it's Terrel Owens whether it. Drafting another quarterback he's never handled the single that well -- I was gonna say you know why it is you can see you know you'd you'd talk a that's. -- maybe he's a mama's boy and that's fine look at you know. I don't happy that that he's got a strong Stanley in -- nothing wrong with that in in especially in this day and age. But you -- you figure out why guys like that his his mother -- half the battle and I'm not. Correct I mean what -- Jeff Garcia comes in and has it in his mother's riding on the block at the still Donovan team --"

Play from 19:10[19:10]" Oh yeah shut the only way only and chunky soup. But getting back to what I was saying before about. People like record one of the things that brought the the mine was to the other day I was reading one of the blogs on the on on the Internet in image -- Shula in imagine him because diapers the depends now real. It was wrote -- maybe RE -- stole from audio lately is that we added a couple -- the oh and then the next day it appears that. While you know that's me pretty pretty blatant as well another example is the good versus evil. The -- I was Gregg easterbrook write it. Then next week and everybody everywhere but then everybody made fun of right. Anybody -- it Providence journal wrote it with no reference at Gregg easterbrook. Fox sports dot com wrote it and had a photo that was almost identical with the halo over dungy in the warns out of -- checked no reference I mean. They just flat out stole an idea well. I think. Some ideas are like kind of in the public domain I think people would come up with that without having I'd already easterbrook I don't like -- I don't but."

Play from 20:21[20:21]" He was the first to do it he deserves some reference some credits I think that were plagiarism and you know actually. Taken someone's words mainly the words error by his umbrella. You stolen and I -- from somebody you know but I've seen that with this show in particular you know you know people who are listening well like the -- the comedians. Who -- around the mean yeah. There's I don't look -- other people baker did not think it was it and take our ideas -- will lead to about half that you don't know -- members I gave what we did a show that we are the same show on the and -- hours later we're driving."

Play from 20:59[20:59]" You wrote about that the Minnesota you know method of teaching the running back you wrote that one year ago. You know when my -- By that I. I was gonna say he's an -- like that they are most probably the highlight was it that well I didn't like right. Or anything like that you know you didn't make it out the you know someone could have gotten that information on their own to."

Play from 21:23[21:23]" I guess I I had guys via my gases that someone in Dallas are up when he yet talked a barber growl as happy if if if that is needed it at all though I -- think and its largest actual you know they talk about it right. Anyone who knows Minnesota football probably. -- about it all along that you don't know that I not make it that it's like I don't we won't read stories about the patriots and make a big deal out of them story that we've known about like two years -- getting around that -- that we make fun of people doing it by. When you know you people -- already I'm well aware of the story right -- 543748 to someone who knows that number."

Play from 22:04[22:04]" David queens day I don't want."

Play from 22:11[22:11]" ideas older like like good versus evil boats like versus donkeys and they like from like ideas."

Play from 22:18[22:18]" I got up after I think it is I just I -- wondering I kinda agree with the Indy because if I was going to do commentary about it and I agree easterbrook what about at first I changed my commentary I say. Marty did this right in I had a lot especially for us like we're weekly and and unfortunately. We get right -- awful ideas -- Because we had an important he's right all like every writer in America right right evil and I know probably like a TV network deals and it's just like flashing in the background as an idea you know ESP and hyping the teams that they just -- But -- deal and write a thousand word column on it when you just read ready Gregg easterbrook I think the but yeah I mean it is sort of generic theme good versus evil right knowing that he broke ground to -- you know coming up with that team. All right Dave what --"

Play from 23:13[23:13]" To not feel but without you have any of some thought well this week and they had good recruit -- that we -- well"

Play from 23:21[23:21]" others many great games this week it's kinda just the generic kinda games. Any players usually look at it yet he could watch color -- in Ohio State linebacker next Thursday night or get hitters always on prime time audience -- be a good time to watch he's the sense of back. The safety played safety now I think but he was a quarter that's a guy glove was really good. Did you know that use you is he playing a US he has armed but will probably Boston College in Maryland and enough that you want a lot there."

Play from 23:57[23:57]" They -- about certain particular that you have a few."

Play from 24:01[24:01]" I think it would be is intriguing or because -- write this guy I've from all accounts. People are -- one of the top inside the but the climate Kamal in the last ten years now that's the case telecheck obvious -- that too. And I think he beat probably drooling to take -- But I have to agree with these guys at that position where your two got into that right now a white hate him but I think it would be it for him. --"

Play from 24:27[24:27]" I have a good and -- simple."

Play from 24:29[24:29]" Are you here at any other -- the other issue we haven't touched on the areas. It wouldn't even work out in terms of money because if -- taking him 21. Maybe say okay I'll take this guy he's cheaper than what will forks don't want to resign him but it has taken -- three. He's going to get ridiculous money so you might as well -- and the guy that you know to play your system and do what you want I just think that that's a position you can afford to have two but don't choosing pellets at colon. Ocean guys you know like a personal quality in my media outlets like you can substantiate giving Ty Warren and Richard Seymour big money visionaries you need them both on the field and time now what you're planning on revamping UT fans -- and going full time four man front. You're not going to have to assume willful on the field in time albeit it in a lot actors not that good and we don't have -- will go forth three we don't even if not impossible I mean we'd all look at -- the middle half. --"

Play from 25:26[25:26]" Ops and an interest in me email -- I recently heard Tom. Mention not if that he could not repeat that on the patriots team plane as players were interacting with each other back got me thinking what other restrictions replaced and you. I reporting the real lowdown. For example if you guys are happily engaged in number two within the confines of Gillette stadium and over here to a more pats players while we're leaving them selves in to increase -- revival of the game plan for the next game or play saying that telecheck. Is an 88. Would you be able to reveal the classified in votes you're now you're at a local mall and you recognize pat street -- wife and he's dropped that the conversation regard the past player using steroids. They suspension would you admit. The patriots nation your knowledge of the nugget before the -- was announced by the NFL. Finally if you per week. Witness a -- player at a team function uttering threats to kill Mike Felder which you -- duty out -- or report the threat to the police."

Play from 26:29[26:29]" Ultimately we. If we get on the team plane that's private stuff -- that we we -- at them all thing would be. Predict that follows a public as things are it has nothing to do with the fact that we worked for the French. You know if you overhear something in the in the bathroom in your regularly we know what -- bathroom right at that can't happen shortest war yet I don't hear that you play I don't play a lot of different area where all this stuff is including spike. Obvious that hypothetical situation would happen you -- just a regular reporter you -- in the bathroom he can't write what you could follow up what I would follow up on certainly now if you heard nothing and now in a mall. That not enough to write a story talk about on the radio again my friends that you'd you'd may be used as your parents right try to follow up on it but. The the rule on that I've always had here threaten the one that you kind of told that they went back to viewed. Anything that you kind of find now because you work here in -- have found out I'll you know otherwise it is off limits in other words. If because I work here I happened he might -- able. On crutches in the players' parking lot walked into the facility. But -- in globe they're not allowed here at that particular time in it would never seen that and I can't right and that's basically our rule."
