There's always things addressed --"

Play from 1:55[1:55]" Which -- system of the sentence at least it is yes. -- sort of gets you probably already so it seemed to. Patriots' success he's ready for us. So stole some -- we're -- listen you can he was an -- too. Just electrical -- six tests and somebody's -- is that -- again. This system in units to -- masters in the important material and turning to rest of the -- so obviously -- explicit movies -- symptoms -- sort comments and socialist.

Now that will be just what is probably its most mixed -- comfortable and I you know -- speaks -- So you. Most of these are certainly capable at all times -- doesn't -- people. So the with a credit to that exists and so that's just."

Play from 3:29[3:29]" People seem to -- could be successful on something -- when -- yeah. On this game Tuesday morning the -- personal and -- and -- It's so it'll -- very long the first sold 14 points and -- to -- would be one point -- the last couple weeks because obviously it would also William Kendrick host one in the Baltic. And it's -- We knew about -- happened to and that just. -- and people who were sort of right now people putting stink and the Steelers is the blighted come down to Canada haven't -- to need to speak to. -- it'll sell -- for this team down under ten point before tackles on Saudi air command. I could even some of them totally support sticks. Course attempts in the case -- this is going to be a lot on and we discussed this on the programs that you missed it but he sucks. Plus assists and honesty that toll was sort of the -- sure that you identified it and and the attitude toward the defining as we speak there to practice in -- set after having yesterday also -- Why isn't is -- discussed. But isn't that the patriots can improve themselves -- she's just -- defensive shortcomings in particular to this. And it's an advantage. Wells -- tickets football game. -- basically a holes that we so strong the Baltimore ravens do on the team -- physical -- excellent football you know like possessed the ball and receivers -- the sports. The obstacles that ended incidence. The last two teams obviously some anxious. I can you were some wouldn't -- put themselves in -- stands will be. These two guys and and therefore the patriots -- in trouble on Sunday so it's a teacher can't control. It is true it -- and mr. it was an interest was the opportunity to put themselves on offense in an effort to list and -- Indicator triples so this isn't boils down and statistical and patriots dot com the literacy and so that's patriots some sort -- successful on them. I think it's appeasement that it deserves it is bold prediction on May be even though -- person in -- to that. So there's some extra protection or at least get it and so it's sad because statistically -- just spoke to the conclusion but it didn't maybe means to be discreet distance at this -- a message on that little -- isn't. And let's at least two weeks. And -- do you come in bomb. Russell plastic over the fact that he was team lost the -- that's. -- just keeps me from saying the decision to go away. Return home the trees which -- cannot only wasn't. In convincing fashion but they can also in the close games the league's teams that we were supposed to win like -- For example so. Decent -- that's happened since it can't happen I think with the patriots right now I'm -- say that the Steelers -- were so desperate is a testament to give -- because it is not a different systems in order to what extent it was biggest -- actually sat -- wants towards first -- and I'm -- I just think the husband gets over the isn't that I tournament. It's going to be this score because a student. Now 71 at schools and thinking of seven point patriots is -- that -- that. Measure -- Sunday so if you -- on the guesstimate your predictions. -- patriots -- considerable. It's mom just stood in reading several stories today -- try to try to -- stage with the -- this is first of some sort of more. Aperture systems because the significance of -- believe this particular worst -- means -- and or at least handled us in the media studies no in in and a meter boat people the national lacrosse country. You post seasons so doubles it's also sit on his -- work but it was -- and Monday night we're seeing much more than 17 and a half million viewers. In -- so this may be in east coast west Polk Kevin visible television industry. Extraordinary consider this a political -- seat and -- 60. Actually to watch cable television programs in the history here. -- it's actually extraordinary and it's tough to speak to ask. Grams discuss it at the 20072002 would -- beach and kind of -- you know that the new species and beginning on 124 this year but I was still counts hopes. Steep on CBS which is yes it was able to trust any total this year. And then decent. -- of this television season it was the fourth which got an 18 national rating on CBS is what's. -- with a certainty about it until he's done doubles from ideas via. -- isn't it. What can simple but -- it's obvious and into the future imminent."

Play from 9:46[9:46]" It's."

Play from 9:47[9:47]" Stewart in the in the schools. Just this contention. To go that would again last week I know -- over to mr. Derek. It's old news but since August 1 the he missed CBC on an easy and it was against the patriots. Is that people our own into this team -- Season -- regional on this list to see history made. It is just -- the patriots. It's a missed that it's possible source because it's so that the -- and I think the media is that it is. On statistical -- the contest and doesn't tell the statistics to -- to the could be a habit to be to make. Are you 2000 some states -- so into that because -- you can. So you can test people and you know -- This is Arlington it's anybody's attitude he could have what it hasn't Palestinians -- intimidate people. 60 -- pitcher so it's easy just -- that it's true it's. So I always -- and -- to see -- team two times. And this is -- but this is so I think they're. Distance -- that the decision was just typical. Triple -- and they realize that they just here to witness some thing this year it's received. A lot of times -- received some in the last time and two and so want dusty to be able to someone. So so this happened. You can -- greens -- supposed to decide to Miami opens you Stadler. You're so that you -- for you what two years. So that you just sets. That's because they didn't really believe it would to Miami Dolphins won 17 to always remember the -- in the played a great team number Jim just query is don't always the best of luck as they were so that it's so easy. Which at some here. History so repeated -- This is now Friday are -- it would decide we -- Allegedly evened things out. And and -- to be able to beat in the -- since the team. -- state in in the two ways like the treats you well obviously you're going to a lot of interest. It is into the streets are the most popular teams aren't there is it's. It's it's basically just the only. And that's exactly what's happening what -- patriots right now -- statistics. Do you. In the game didn't he wants to -- to sort of important the -- it's been to -- maybe and then you know course to -- the 66 action note and we have here in the league didn't you know little discussed -- over the every team to be listening to a -- This team -- economic candidates total success this -- you know it's. Just -- there. Because we were able publish -- full time. Even Super -- to bolster your cable television but even symbols -- The doubles against a a few tests at the table. Statistics many people -- cable TV is an extraordinary number the previous high was 70 point two million for a cable program was the high school musical on speed channel. This past summer. And the team just afford a waste is a political debate basketball was in 1983 year 1994. So it's just a lot of time between the last that -- tickled to what took place and the the -- musical specialist a long time testing before you got this 17 this rain significant cable TV in any of the sports event. That is well also this week you'll want to. And cable TV. Was it that you know would be a a an actual replacement if you won't want to build. -- networks like CBS fox NBC you know at the current time that you know. How post article games bombs these courses they're two in his they're. Let's just say the list for the patriots not -- And continues there's so it is just sit on the street doubles ten games Phillips it's a road game of the year -- only in a film work against -- just at home. The traditional salute to the restaurant on the schedule -- Would -- if they could have but it's totally the that it ended -- six it is a potential rules -- Extra it's reasonable schedule gets it moved into -- that you don't sound business into the second half of the European nationals -- in most people will be watching. Expertise as a -- watched it but you know the Pittsburgh Steelers and notes in my mind that it is going to create another great reading the 60s on this in a couple of storms. The sites to be honest we are usually returns have -- I didn't do this but diminishing so because I think we realize that the the against Clijsters and finding I don't -- doesn't talk about this earlier today and I just understand why they -- this week in the big Monday night at least a short course and social so what's the field and I just feel like they were you just have to learn how to get over I think that's the most likely get blown this weekend disappearance as a wide receiver -- It means to this disperse the conspiracy theorist in me -- this season. It's just where. Been pleasantly and it worked. It's playing appetites will -- that the NFL won't be capitalist work. Well nobody going to build networking and the NFL particular having trouble getting clips. From major cable systems that particular throughout the year throughout the country and so right now. And -- recent football fans will have access to a game this could mean respect. It could be interests -- into this. It's so -- so -- is able to toot just. Steals of the accusations of each of social simple -- he's the patriots with him. It's getting too -- to the last part of the season. And you know two teams with a score is going to teach our kids certainly understand why would -- to the conclusion it's. -- I do think it is so on the source yeah yeah that's course this themselves. All the national Bolick -- we that he meant that didn't want to deplete need to beat the rules is that going to stop there. Our schools and also went all the -- That speaks in here -- saying some. Guess this is easy it's too soon attribute that they -- these teams it's in the night in 32 teams I would just two teams costs. We meet some sort -- next step. Bouts we could to get a week to their season and Sosa. You know it's it's taken it which -- tastes is on the that it was a -- they took the top. We saw and -- exercise -- I think you get a ticket to enter into the equation unfortunately. Can integrity that there. We do there. In the and -- I think this is out there it's just such an extent. The -- the chargers week's testing and make sure that the work on. You know -- stood in place. First Agassi -- somber and also be interesting to see is it's possible that don't you know Biggio Adam it is and it members of the media -- There are it's so it's. People out. Last year instead. -- know that this was Seattle to treat comes -- course again how you reaches here today on. -- that's -- already simple because I thought extraordinary story and -- number -- where that's -- of -- something that is -- pretty -- That's -- do we have today. Things you just -- You can -- The Steelers the patriots into this game on Sunday. -- to the test teams over the last decade sitting in the month of December. It's numbers in the USA today that you have Tom -- And 13 over the last years. In the month of December. That's just the best for -- only going to sell -- the best cricket in the AS over the past ten years in December to. -- total -- actual total agreement Packers 35 and 12 with a teacher just 31 and 13 and -- The patriots since since 60 losses in December. Most of the Pittsburgh Steelers. So small problem you know -- two tickets and sit in this coming year. You have two teams who know all it takes to win. And on the way in and so you know it's -- the spartans. At times the teams that are successful -- worse somewhat offensive styles is a yen and one of that is city just coincidence or not so -- street here. -- in the December that they have been in years past. Continues to be -- 15 -- he's been physical and decided to you know. It was a rodeo do he does best behind -- a matter of principles like. That's -- the reason why I think that points pretty minute and a half -- most actually in my state would be a -- On this -- stones at the -- to this game and some that it's into the the -- these two teams were successful in December over the many years these teams to -- with each other in terms of -- in the late. Of course I want to all the -- start the year. You will -- Of course that it was just burst that the patriots NFL record 18 game intercede when streak back on -- to. 200430 sword point went back on October 31 three years ago three years ago now. That's of the sport but in the next he's. In 2005 the patriots return and the over to the hitters. It was 22 into the Steelers 16 game to see when streak themselves to eating Pittsburg 23 to. On September the point of -- 2004. So he's -- isn't it handed stopping once in streaks against these other. -- do you think capacity that is that -- to dusty -- get each other here in this particular instance. To even just just have to you know statistical decent the -- in this case it is so slick passing quarterback. So the border zone blitzes only in L on talent blindly. So different directions and they've. It reeks eclectic special over the last few weeks against the Soviets sequels but secrets at a pretty good success -- to -- sentenced -- seven. Point produced little less six. -- he's -- it's against the Steelers since 1998. So this just hasn't success the schools get it was -- is to prevent with the biggest test and the cast on his shoulders because resilient. To assist as the next -- stepped into the hands of the patriots. -- the it's a home. In traditional it's on the game so that's kind of movies in the antitrust section here can look at took it looked worthy of the the stores to today in the Stewart I can't and he's burst a and it is our if you if you belong to -- is. In the past actually has something to do to the president then I think these are good numbers to hang on as anything else. And so that's a statistical oddity -- we heard from dominant conference call here yesterday but he's a source surged you to the streets are going to faced this season. You to the grocery. Well to by Indian and am going to be one and you have its lumps and tell us who would be number two who. And he -- consumer remember it's and the title in his first year there's a receiver so he's the first or your agent are going to faced this season. Last year. If you to step up and actually put two number ones test in -- 16 teams that played. Teams against teams with sister -- coaches. -- extraordinary. You have a disinterested in those eight games the wants evident want. So levels switch and the -- it sort of -- in west -- really knows the -- really knows Bill Belichick. Routines -- he's getting in too or certainly -- these trips before. True -- at least conceptually I think it was such an head to head match every element of surprise they have the element of islam not having -- Too much so because he's in the test match and lining to this someday. You would it's such a problem who has announced the approach you -- Minnesota getting his his head coaching job at Pittsburg. Texas has. -- yeah you know it's also obviously a lot of -- to over the years who and it sure those coaches that receive a lot of -- its troops to match -- but so could you for the first time. It's so. He social status and -- just -- distance for the game film but -- against the Stevens having seen the patriots -- ward struggle gets at least teams in -- in looking at those teams that. Credit you. So this into the -- it's sold the Dodgers sport looks like excellent -- tackles he continues to loose. The previous two patriots home games and steals a -- moves into his possible and then be successful and so it was. It's just seemed to look at it is -- I think this is a place where we could probably all agree -- used controlled -- Westbrook reliable probable to -- keep it patron saint. Same -- this last week. You -- stone. It's just been so got to do -- and they do test which is certainly to control the ball and tackles. Should Felix. The two teams so we just talk dusty -- weeks and be successful. And it's easy to -- planet so -- in ST. It's easy to assist the protests he walked in the singles. Ask them. And since it's going to do so it is nice to see. The post game plan so today. The question of course remains at least on them and -- isn't -- act -- we were here on the program yesterday. One of the now that they could ability to its teams sit down. And two -- and the resistance to and you don't do a couple hundred -- again reflected the last couple weeks. And the deceiving do it'll cost. Outs and the -- linebackers and the patriots to promote from a three primarily afford it is situation linked to the defensive line it's just don't. On this I would do on stroke. Or topic of adjustments and slow the Steelers town where this game so we decided it can keep the Steelers to three and out and not been -- 8910 days. What's -- these companies and spin. And at least the Steelers it's been in the resistant it themselves. The -- went. But this is just defense it was cool but it will be -- two teams have done an old traditional. And dental records to beat him. Look at risk and physical work was encompass. The middle of brutal sadistic as last week it would be suited at the television the Middle -- Into the technical going to the secondary to win this and that's Kevin it's want Tony it's it's it's Benjamin Watson. That topic -- create some kind of you know you know receiver screen situations -- Script to open and Texas -- So it seems to beat them once and a it's attention to -- on two to a guy like us now on the other. How would be false proceed to just come a little Dayton Duncan in the interest conduct themselves they can create and a pretty. -- feel almost root for the Steelers report disinterested in the air in a different test. So it just can't I just it's just it just. In game in the do with a -- passing game Mexican you know -- nine to draw some Palestinians don't and in so I think it's important basically first test results to come from behind I think the most Steelers their comfort zone. Adams do you keep used to the speed and best to go down and think -- in New York handled the more you can gamble that you take risks defensively we forced them at some kind of turnover -- you went football. It's -- And that's what I and is he going to do with particularly towards some of the -- and a -- courting the support he has been and will and least treats and the Steelers. Of course for Sunday afternoon a look at these tests are scheduled this week. Here at -- political."
