Play from 1:24[1:24]" No one has to our house -- us. This is your game now I don't know. Seniors."

Play from 1:42[1:42]" Okay PFW progress is that. That Rudy you know thirty the one of the five people -- that he that we attack happened here I hate that I dislike the movie I don't wanna guy. I'm telling wives whose idol of explaining I don't like it."

Play from 1:57[1:57]" Guy who plays ruled yet I hardly ever like anything on last night I just don't like them and like ordering him by I just did one that I just hated it I didn't get I didn't get the a team. The guys and -- so he and around mama I'm a team they threw all men. He got to act and a berth and they double B about. And inspiring story didn't inspire me. I'm -- my dog with a minority I know a lot of people love that will be it -- register with the present and apparently he's awake after the realizing Rudy. Is a bit of a pain in the butt. -- the Notre Dame and right that's what I like apples and maybe not I don't I don't I had a friend that goes dirty deed but that's like half of the movie. That guy won't just only people -- I found it would only not occurring so. Nowadays he like he what does he do we go back -- and it is that nobody goes back to campus and he's a janitor at Notre Dame all -- yeah he's still litter. The guy well I think I won't leave I thought he gave like. Motivational speeches and always waited six dollars and I'll -- was a good."

Play from 3:04[3:04]" Story and that you know everybody told -- couldn't do it -- Now if you take over early and did it -- And the other part of it I I don't thanked him I don't know all the I don't know it was Janet about -- I just don't think that. Maybe his priorities are aware -- supposed to be an even you know in the movie to kind of backed Tom's point. You -- on the -- pretty well. The fact that his parents didn't believe that he was actually don't -- name me is an atrocity the number one. And then they come in act actually -- him and Ned Beatty who you know like the only -- I don't. Comes comes out of that tunnel and says this fight is you know those the finer sight these eyes have ever seen or something you know does that affect. You're at a football game. You to walk down the tunnel to go to a football game and that's the highlight of your life. Well need to do a little something disturbing about that. You know guys -- as it sounds like a lot of football fans who were passionate about this nothing like when you go down the tunnel your first game you know I remember when I went. And the for a -- for a page you came around for a Red Sox game is memorable but I was like happen. Well you know. I don't think that one you know just I seen a football field at the age of you know fifty. It's a life changing experience evidently it was for him on the lines of you know his days in West Virginia you don't think yes I do --"

Play from 4:34[4:34]" Okay at. But PFW progress now if Tom could style is a hole that we have Eric L beatle Paul Perillo -- drive -- and -- how how can you know and on his case department in the third person. I -- back I don't know like guys it has -- it was on the I -- just last -- when I first I just gonna is gonna pick everything -- that -- is that with -- I'm not I'm not a good holes well I didn't think that I wasn't I've never claimed to -- I have trouble reading emails that we -- them in your -- here bright -- Christians not here I know the real reason why not -- I got an announcement to make -- a few minutes and I know -- isn't here so. We'll get to that figured -- that -- may be a WBI and the fact that he forgot that today and Tuesday after opting to Ottawa Thursday. Right this eyes are real reason I yet he he had to run home don't go -- that I could say it on the show so I'll and a column. Also -- the -- now and and off I miss a beat you Eric. I don't know what it. I know going I have no idea what stuff all I know while I was in his office. So we that it -- capital for. So it's 585437482. That -- on her computer and know what radio Patriots dot com we have a 105 email in box that would guarantee we don't sleep although you on the web radio. Yeah web radio and now we have a hundred it. More importantly to all things were believe I'm with Gary -- to how the job as usual worried about drafting in football team. A word about them allowing an NC -- and intimately speak Canada -- you know it takes a lot to offend me but when you chills in the heart -- over mine -- her. That really hurt I thought we had -- the -- to gambling -- I thought we were kind of alike in many ways you know -- you -- and then he -- loses -- not only to is -- is the commissioner of the -- Hartley -- and -- that will be -- with Clippers is the commissioner -- football -- out and I don't know -- I've really -- no I don't prepared I didn't -- shall not PFW progress dot com has really -- its power they have one week. I didn't I didn't I'd explain why prince erupting. I'm telling you what's going are there three weeks openly people wanted to play. There that probably in the league that many Gary league that he Gary has one person in his league right now I know remaining Gary you many Derek. Let my league's bubble built up in the -- halfway filled up strippers as the commissioner you get the tickets for comfort -- about it and strippers -- I'll take in the -- now he's the commissioner at her you know. I thought we had them there but that's all right. I guess he's got Kelly girl now it and need me. While -- and yep PFW progress dot -- I really am the only person on the planet that doesn't like in football. If filled up three leagues and like -- day -- about the late in with the Internet with strippers. You this isn't going to. I don't our computer that right it's as I did not in the I told James either league games put -- in the -- troopers. In the -- I'm the guy -- an -- the preview -- that 3COM. Yeah that's going on PFW progress dot com ladies and -- the Internet would -- these ordinary football anything. While -- much -- lost interest in him."

Play from 8:22[8:22]" Not my nature of topics that baker interest in that it would own net on a and -- brad. Yeah interesting admission I mean not been overly surprising because. If you run no -- teams and you weren't doing steroids then I think they'd probably cut to immediately so he was he was on the radio with him after class we did Patrick radio show -- openly admitted that he took steroids you know to heal quicker and he had used actually the work week. You know we took them you know take to heal faster and get over the bumps and bruises whatnot but an open admission that. He did in fact used performance enhancing drugs but. There's many many of those Pittsburgh Steelers have been accused and proven to have -- name. I don't pick as much an area and I think very very surprising admission Terrell match -- very high profile guy healthy quarterback right fourth Super Bowl title."

Play from 9:21[9:21]" is their any link between their -- and brain damage. Because sounds like Terry has a little bit his quote was we did Barrett get away the -- in the speed appealing. My use of steroids from a doctor with the beat up injury and thought nothing of it. -- it was dismayed at the healing process that was it it was and get bigger and stronger and faster so I mean Terry was never the -- ball to beat him -- like Hollywood Henderson -- a guy could spell cat bottom of the NBA. Organized arming and Terry Terry had some problems back then through and always had to -- not stupid I -- problems like in his personal life didn't. Was -- taking medications for things that are you know I always depression what what was it I did have."

Play from 10:06[10:06]" Personally -- don't really -- a lot of -- but. I know that on. Toms right in the in the seventies or early in every start of -- rain for the -- as he wasn't really here. Locked in number one quarterback and Tokyo him -- of personal issue yeah. Some players all -- not it was he was -- Beattie the first of those. Black quarterback that you know was going to revolutionize the position in and do things that have never been done but he. That's -- couldn't be personal demons. But Bradshaw had a really work to fight his way. At that spot and he constantly Tom alluded who dealt with his intelligence is being issues. Louisiana kid you know had you know obviously you know that the the other accent now by you -- And that kinda. Labeled him as being you know not smart enough to play that position and in the NFL and I'm miserable on that did pretty well and winning. When -- who rules with you now I'm curious though that this interview came out. A week ago he did the interview week ago why it has been why hasn't ask about our -- pro football talk Taylor. They talk about that Florio you know he's done at the mainstream media has gone down to it. I don't know I mean and -- as to why it's cute story yeah I think so cute. Me not like you -- it's not a surprise because most people now but that I want to know what I was out and admit it like it you know it on the OJ trial came down here if what state you know. That the Jerry actually had brains and and he was found guilty it would have been prize right Torre sure you know."

Play from 11:49[11:49]" Yeah and it's not like you know it's not like this is Rocky liar coming out -- you know -- As a mother second or third string guy on on that -- that -- like you said this is the Hall of Fame QB who -- in the fourth Super Bowl titles. Coming out and saying yeah I did it we did it. You know implying that there are your teammates of his who did it through I'd to I'm when I saw that line that it was last week on. Dan Patrick radio chart I just completed this the first time I was hearing about it."

Play from 12:18[12:18]" It it. The Dan Patrick radio people didn't do very good job of get out there because went on like that happen. Yeah to be patient -- a transcript of that and sent it out talk our media although Terry Bradshaw on the -- greatest right today. Admitted to you know whatever. Right you know that have been a wire story that afternoon and they should've been word out page it would actually -- exactly yeah that's should have been -- breaking sports wire story I would I would. Tom black got out of like he has -- and we have been like it and get back. Him."

Play from 12:58[12:58]" Strippers were did you get that Javon Walker or from what what light on the one -- from. What is -- email -- started. He had debt was and he was pretty clued in on -- from the beginning wasn't. And they got the dirty yeah they were elected or that it would call again or all the over stuff like White on rice charities."

Play from 13:20[13:20]" Once I had the original admission from Javon Walker about how the whole thing went down which has kind of laughed at by everybody. Because it was -- dragged out into the jet he opened his -- is hotel room door they dragged him out. Put him and he was unconscious not unconscious they dragged amount of product to a car and beg the question if they knocked unconscious I don't know they graduate out."

Play from 13:46[13:46]" That was -- that was on the thirty. The -- document. -- for the football stuff so far well well we. I don't know if you want to talk about the I -- and Jones and I missed -- and that a little a little while. -- I was there for the second half Venus a well you guys wanted to -- it is. Yeah where where you your season is early yet I as he's wanted to US dollar Broadway we have. We have breaking news here."

Play from 14:20[14:20]" July will be my last month that PFW. I am leaving to take the job of -- Vegas and but it was so shook up. That he ran home in here. Really yes it's he he just couldn't he couldn't handle I'm almost as surprised by this -- and the fact that Terry -- enough that he was doing well they as the -- would say they made me an offer I couldn't refuse a huge pay raise. Com now who are these people your -- work -- this is it's a pregame is the name of it. It's it's the sports handicapping -- with a look at it do is beef up. Do like the the general content via Adler there week -- football week all the guys who came from their -- and -- out fix and that guy who came up here to watch the lacrosse games are accused that I that I met with a at the old Ford. Was he actually worked there. And he went back and told boss the guy we have to have blah blah blah so that they made me. Just a great offer excellent. It's a -- that are publicly and web site but. Mike I'm going to be creating new letters and things like that you get a base pay which is more than -- make -- off the bat and plus I'll be -- picks. And the guy who. -- leading seller make 70000 Olympics the pluses based on topic is now in the in the owner believes -- that you should be opening half that easy because he's that people please don't think it's about winning and losing and it's -- about being able right. Like right material in that wasted you don't deputies some of these guy's been around thirty years haven't they haven't picked -- winner in thirty years in the millionaires. It just being able to write -- interact with people. Older that good you know like 23 years we make it close to a hundred Graham. I couldn't turn that turn that down what you are going to email me and look for like CA picked up during the -- oh yah rock and a but I don't care about the -- but if you want and always going to win against Madison DU game right on the I'm Erica well. But I what you -- it was a tough decision -- I'd love it here. It just when you take my salary and how much it cost of around here -- what's the consulate and they'll they got me owner of the place and got me how that is. That a cousin was right and even in July. -- better way better than what I have now 1200 a month campaign to orient for a -- in Foxborough. It is there's no there's no pack of loss they like arsenal though. Like when you paycheck there's no they -- state like no coming back yet. So that it will be able to label like this like -- if it was a little bit. Different like is money why season but this huge difference you know and -- all to be even close to ten -- year. And that -- that doesn't include my ING got it. You know we were you -- built -- job out there get a job at all week at the great school in teacher. And so once all of that started -- are you going to be in. The that you limits are you like and all we're out handers that everyone lives like all the nobody lives in Vegas like I didn't know what they considered that he you know like sometimes it's -- we have like they have like the -- little communities that that's how they build about their they've built like the -- little communities in communities type things so your away from everything we've been too lightly research and I'll wait until I went out there. But I want to read now. And plus I wanted to make it. We're we're giving back the eighteenth you know what I mean like if that's in two yet to be there August 13. -- I just about who we have to make a decision you know like we've we've researched it -- it's going to be hot I you don't I don't need to go out there to how hot it's."

In though you gotta take it at the Super Bowl the weather's going to be like as an a kind of similar yeah react -- in Glendale and yeah thirty than well it.
