You have Bob Doyle and got in -- wolf. Three people. A little about everybody has turned the radio I have a lot to talk about on the that is actually football related. What does that mean. Football topic that we need to cover is catchers the topic football early I don't know I don't know what they're -- but we can bring that up in. The USA today article that you want to talk about that I think and I mean if they haven't ready yet again I mean it's. It's they saying the Patriots are now the dangles and they need to you know reassessed their approach -- acquiring players written written by a form PFW members. Larry Weisman for PFW it and he suited -- I know him. -- you know we have a really nice guy is very columnist for the it to him in the -- and evidently in the front -- the crowd has indeed.

Like that it that would satellite USC and what's weekly uh oh I don't know. They'll Larry was one of our February as a columnist Larry Larry is very nice guy and he never never walks by definitely at -- around the mountain top."

Play from 6:42[6:42]" Good guy good okay. Opt double talk about that. Nick -- if you want to talk about my night night with Bill Belichick and countries that don't doubt that frantic my interest not just you. Why -- there you and nine I to do both that was a big my job. Now how exactly did you introduce. I we got. Abdallah secular topic I had I don't act -- a written introduction for both of all real and always stick out like I did. And and and -- And it was it was extra point dinner people that have the extra points credit card the pitchers credit card how many points people want to get like five million dollars worth -- yeah. Money or could you tell that the people that were there were from money while the thing about it people a lot of people that was there or. Done it every year they spent five million dollars every of them like that it's up but. It must they must love it because they come back every here. Have you done it every I've done it twice you know -- gets -- at the meet him one on one get a picture with him get things graft. Then the E that he gets -- in. Quest in any question that they want yeah I checked AM on -- and not come -- was read about it there was one guy who really really. Enjoyed them. And he went out to you talk to you a little -- to a lot of people enjoyed -- you -- bill enjoy your introduction did he say thanks -- handed appreciated. He -- It was a real good watching yeah. Like any dividends on the road I don't know now. But one of the things that I don't know -- the person who you wrote you read on the Internet but what are the things we're talking about what you know The Herald in the globe and all the you know I outlet and he you know in other -- the point now where I want the rates go by have to come the -- football weekly yet. That's right I I credit the I until I said that's why they don't that we certainly try hard I have we you know we are they try harder to be that is out all right down the middle. I am and not naive enough to think that we don't have you know little things like that either way of course but that is. Well question article to give his balance the look -- again and I like how we deal for a homer -- mr. negative and I'm ranked on the middle for the -- fall back on the fact that I have might -- superimposed on page where you -- you'll Oakland -- It was -- well don't tell me I'm not a lot of love around the -- for two bullet. Oh really yeah because it'll cut but the -- you know little bitten. One guy that you know Vilma out of it happened at my favorite player until Brady came along yeah. I'll let that nobody else. He was atop a lot of or -- anti violence that don't know how I like I mean but I think that look at the room where we can never ever forget -- would. -- that the for the organization -- the general concern with fans because all of a sudden he's gone from. A punch line to now he's angry when we read and -- PFW that we don't think he's a pro football hall of Famer and we have people emailing in his. 45 -- 44000 passing yards -- pro football hall of -- no -- has -- and a -- sack -- for the last five years -- he retired -- to -- Patriot -- look at the numbers -- a pro football hall of -- but he -- he had -- solid -- with those numbers he would definitely -- I'm not -- his numbers -- better what do -- you know -- his numbers -- compare favorably -- guys that are -- not a hall of -- in my -- why -- I think I -- as -- anybody to -- I don't think that -- England -- hall of -- Lock stock and barrel one you know but it went over the four years is not saying he should be the first one. I'll let -- arrived I don't know who it's from I don't. That's -- stand to gender. Somebody from Atlanta that I'm sure that's what that person was looking for somebody. -- haven't named Kamal we have many Gary he's busy punching flow back there a string you up. All right we'll have to figure out --"

Play from 11:19[11:19]" For the go over -- at stake now what are her that came via PFW progress dot com to gender. Com Gary -- hi Gary has the microphone now he threw his hands up thing I don't know I don't of the -- why the microphone that. Multimillion dollar radio Julio we can't get the -- to talent microphone working. Ridiculous I know you just don't don't be. Ridiculous produced what is where the talent that produced a behind the collapse and they keep you know should be able to. I have a this year I I was just wondering I thought I put it out of a second that they got that typical. What about tasted like -- a talent Michael I think the first sentence lack of her at all I just now we -- a lot more seconds to detail a anyway. Last night thank you from Atlanta they had out after an extra point thing in but I was a lot of fun yet bill was up and you know he was -- in that very open. That's adding anybody ask about in -- bacteria anything really negative like like catcher for example now. Now but that's appropriate to be an excellent. You know I mean all of us after Pascal that was my point the general like across number. -- nobody ask about that and but it was it was a good time he had one funny story that if you want here with -- somebody ask him what was was there some moment. On the island that really do you know you remember really cracking you want. You gotta eat eat that it was 1984 days with a giant teams coach. And -- it was Ali Haji -- was the the kicker in the year before you at a record or made field goals obviously going into that next year he was going to be their kicker. But -- that he would pulled hammy or outdated they wanted to -- him in the last pre game. They didn't have them kicking and they kept the guy that was in camp and cut and yet they kept him around for that last game because they knew they were going to kick. With guys that game in the metal and and get into the game which -- now. You know I have the ball like four left and they're down by two in the eighteen yard line -- they call the timeout. And you know. In got to get ready to kick of course if you get their plane might have been Tampa bay than they call a timeout -- I kicker. Oh you know the ticker run off the field to run sideline part though -- to come over here when it -- And you know -- though you know I don't know I'll go go talk to -- the kicker goes up to -- he goes in coach Odom. You don't -- to kick the field and never kicked in the field. About that. You know he got to think -- the the no other field goal is now. That's why we had to kick all the time because now are like okay great coach got the field and you know kick kick at the ruined. -- afterwards part of what what do you need to know. In -- not just came over to tell me that you know don't worry about it I'll make it you know they thought that was pretty. In was this guy anybody know it'd want to -- and it was -- nobody it was a guy that never never made it. -- yeah at that. Part of that story was at what -- after that and one -- Com but apparently told about -- art it yeah he can he can O'Brien with the -- in them knock them out of the game in. The Pro Bowl that year reason why he went out to lunch with Nam. The schedule was one of the jet in day that the really. Our quarter to you you -- the month tuchman he was on the sideline calling -- high school play. Weaver go wherever we look at a well liked what he was saying go at them she and they weren't even close and it turns out the brewers -- school play. Oh I -- the person who that the watched it and it is Scott. Got got you -- South Carolina ultimately. South Carolina. Not Atlanta. About as great of that as additional. Okay hello from the eight DL that is. It got thank you very much that question here he wanted to and watched while I'm -- I'm very happy to accept his one I don't have an answer -- X Scott thank you -- Atlanta not a South Carolina Atlanta thank you very much. What we need to bring up I like the story I got those kind of things that I would. Like to talk to build experience -- a good story too because a lot of people forget that when intelligent for your head coach in 2002 was old. He was head of pro personnel. Oh -- at one -- four -- with bill. You know he got a call that Kia can come down here he goes out of -- office and he's the tape -- And he's got to review of a guy you know report. And he's look at the tape and looking at the review it and he is to get beat old watch. It goes all right and he looked at the reporting good guy average Jersey good. They get in its report you both word that low -- he won he -- a good. And you know tip. Didn't get the connection for -- remember what he would actually wrote. Of the went back to -- little you know that the report back and go look at the tape again tell me if -- average -- good and of course it dawned on him. Eventually what what he was talking about and that was worth you know. Really way of knowing how I don't you know really commands all out -- If you're going to call the guy good call good coat but he can't he's -- You know and he remembers a story about. Somebody else who wrote in a report you know this guy going to be good team. In Belichick call them down. You know while the team's plea that -- college or no but you know that that I think he will. You know him play that don't put that in your report. I don't wanna I don't want to read you know that's how demanding is of of these guys no projection in the report it -- saw the guy do it. Don't tell me -- can't. The attention to detail in America we all kind of figured as much but. To hear tip tell a story specifically about a report like yeah. Not not overly surprised now if you don't -- on the way to they'll be asked -- you know due to -- Work that way from the bottom and -- at the United at the bottom the below the they haven't even -- about it and that's certainly has lost not only players coaches and yet leaves and everybody starting at the bottom where yeah and I was throwing out guys that he was looking forward to. Working with this year Fernando Bryant -- and Tank Williams. Did mention any rookie you know. Didn't mention ever done in the in the league that's right not so good night good night. -- and which could I've had file while. I -- out how people weren't either or probably them for five table -- though. In that included representative from the patrons at each one of maybe. 282520 people. Like that at it's an interesting event especially for a guy like bill where. There's a limited act you don't have that opportunity that's an -- you don't get bill on on me -- five million dollars to get it. I gotta take a break right now and we'll be right that."

Play from 23:35[23:35]" It worked out well good I was worried that that would. You know you go down -- W not far behind. But again thank you -- or. Any lunch got from Atlanta and if you -- you have area awakening that. All over their considering second of data that is that guys hope you enjoyed like we did it yet with not a whole lot going on other than an occasion deal and go beat aren't negative.

Of course any Tom's would be any one that the patent law that's true that's very who's got that's not true. But what what are -- favorite paid three games of the Bulls.

And I couldn't really enjoyed it off. -- unbelievable rate I would say for me."

Play from 24:55[24:55]" They're three they all come from 2001 and that's a ridiculous and that lends itself to that the first would be the first game after 9/11. I think the -- Drew Brothers and that national anthem was one of the only times I really. Choked up then for national and I thought that was like a historic event that sort of went beyond football. The noble obvious lead because come that was normally I was down on the sideline in the knowledge of the ridiculous nature of the game everything. Terms of drama my wife was at the game you know and she's talking when I get home could even the -- through the air and Bob and then to bowl thirty. For example on the drama of that game and again my wife was at a -- family experience. How many games and have a hard time picking a favorite non who global -- you liked it when when geno peaking at Fenway is a few games in the N that you really enjoyed."

Which first first home playoff win in team history -- fog coming in kind of surreal atmosphere. Patriots come out I'd get a three and out start the game first play from Richmond around midfield truth I was a bond Terry -- down like that who with a one. They score. Three and now. They get the ball the next session it so quick pass to keep -- us about a forty yard touchdown at fourteen out and play don't want absolutely the it was was great. At me was. That was probably the most firing at a at a game. The comeback team you know. Chicago at Chicago game in in -- yeah in non. And champagne yet that was great that was a great 2176 in the third quarter came back. Get that at the meadowlands at -- a medal yet and Jarrett Jack baker one because. It -- it meant a lot more and I was at both of those games to back in 96 that. There was a game in 99 here at Foxboro stadium -- many 127 lead in half and and now Pete Carroll a coach and came they came back in the second half and 13128 that was agree comebacks and I love the game the overtime win in Miami when Troy Brown caught the -- out that he can't you can't. Is that once I was favorite team Burton on the sidelines -- right remedy kick outta Miami had to win the game right blocked one on line. At a lot of insurance and terrible call on the sideline that gave Miami yeah along. Catching I was way out of bounds and the third -- lot of stuff going on and I love the play of game when he broke his finger Buffalo it was a great game yeah. -- lot of good games.
