Play from 3:23[3:23]" Now. An event and Eleanor. Just rain on my parade no I'm just I'm wondering who are not the other day -- like Olowokandi hard today Erik LB if you go to rookie of the will be lucky -- I think you might end up with low on third base and lowdown. Load them. That I was going to be an unbelievable. When does that opening again it's a temper. Sometimes -- that number the hole well. Now exit the it's not believe there's a lot of work they'll be there -- side there I told you two months when you ought to be open -- very. Via you know going to be open -- today you Reebok. Reebok is opening today more importantly it is the previous scene menu I did not. You know what I'll be tasting it tonight when accompanied Predators to the WB's in pregame show live from I heard there -- the beef hamburgers and -- and enjoy that again. No I'm just -- on road I don't know how to get their balls it's like on the roof of CBS you know going to need to know how to do well. And they're having actually -- don't do I don't you and I'm okay. Frequently it's corporate should -- it's going to be better than I guess I don't want to get -- doubled and don't you know who you are record you can go anywhere we wanted you know early don't don't you have -- New Orleans now. Oh. They don't do so. We don't you haven't they don't have pre show the big. Department Ito is that gave -- who. Asia it was you know why one there. Oh what 130 yes. While this a lot of reasons that the big show but -- plays along better than me but it at 130. Andre Tippett. -- inducted into the Hall of Fame will be here. Live in the studio -- Eric the double have all right and Eric taken -- yeah so a -- 130 carry it -- Gary you line that up for a and not Gary's wondering if this would be the one time only chance listeners would have to by Andre -- launch they would this would be the only match is saying to your friends I -- Andre -- launched the opposite you know -- half a world away. In good. Yeah on the little kid and his team hall Olympic and now talked about him he's -- much when he when he pitted for a it loose relate. To those ticket. So. All that was a good week at Robert Kraft presented for him in that he accepted the duck it and work. I couldn't tell mine -- I don't I don't want -- talk to him a little bit yesterday and he said that it was just an amazing week and yet he thought other than the adoption that night. I guess the night before they like the jacket presentation yet. That he thought was like the highlight for you would rate."

Play from 6:26[6:26]" And I said yeah that was really what you -- really -- island envoy Erik was -- was there alive it was it was a phenomenal experience that Friday night thing I didn't know that -- done that I was kind of wondered when they actually get the jackets 'cause on Saturday when you walk out there already have have them right. So I didn't know it was useless elect a backstage -- when they just do it but. Now they had to speak to do on Friday night it was. A catered affair right you're a little bit. Black tie women's world dressed out but while you're tuxedo well now but some people did and some people just weren't you know suits and whenever everyone's dressed nicely you have yeah. I did anything printed -- time to get out of."

Play from 7:04[7:04]" Usually we wait for calls but this one coming all the way from down under in Australia Andrew is calling an -- hi Dylan. We're doing great thanks for the call me. What I didn't really right now. Oh why are you talking to are you drunk and that well drunk dialing the -- well don't. Work -- a booty call. -- Eric's -- serve up there you. Tournament. I've always wanted to come to Australia it is on my -- my bucket. You gotta be honest it you know okay. So what's up com."

Play from 7:49[7:49]" Just think just quickly. The rookie who looked relative to whether okay. Doing their local steals nadir reached. They got things are looking relative -- of pages picked them."

Play from 8:01[8:01]" Good question very good quite a while -- I will say look better than the tenth pick. No I'm being serious because I came with certain expectations. Knowing that he had to be. Big strong that I mean when you take and the top ten he needs to be the total package and I thinking it is -- I point I think he's equivalent to -- burning -- and struggling in New York Gerard -- is looking good in New England so he's worth the call later deal meeting. What are now is alone on -- but about not yet but. Not yet well I'd say that he clearly. Showing the potential. But not I would say Cecilia right and I went with aptitude of the deal for fifth. Would be a well I mean the compared to -- if -- anywhere near Devin Hester and he's a look at that was not. Third round I would replace an attribute it it would be Theo yeah he's anywhere near Devin Hester. Right. If he's a good return it can be anywhere near. Well I don't either but I mean that's you know he's already talking about it -- asked about that but. I would say compared to Bethel Johnson who essentially never did anything on -- a couple big plays but his greatest contributions were -- You know he was -- a second round while. And -- compare. Either Bethel Johnson was a terrible bust. Or deal. Matthew Slater I mean. But it becomes an impact player of the fifth round I think by nature that's very yeah -- plan on the -- deal -- his fifth round in a great game cope -- deal -- it I think any guy that becomes a long term contributor to your team out of the fifth round on any starting their impact level is the I'll tell you how we've become a steal he becomes. The next Larry is aware he's like. Every year Pro Bowl special right -- I'm out of this deal but it's it's all about your comparisons because if you compare to a guy drafted in the six round team name Tom Brady that he's nowhere and Aristide. -- Tom Brady was a steal bread and Allan Matthew Slater can never do anything to compared operator might surprise you can't you can't edit yeah expectations of depression I had no right meditations -- area pleased with. Pretty much every. Terrence Wheatley I think he's been rock solid maybe Shawn -- been alone except Paul on my face as he said but Terrence Wheatley is pain. I think excellent it entered camp Jonathan Wilhite. Clearer not to Tupelo we lead but still on the football athletic and fortunately record better than what we heard about -- with the program O'Connell and it was kind of a raw. You know. Rock these -- you can he has athleticism has the talent like it is really though and Andrew's been injured -- the only came back expectations -- these."

Play from 10:41[10:41]" I've that there around it's not broke on clearly you know how much -- I was arguing you know -- you know where he has been on these greens yet. Konerko is trade option -- see him back. I think I don't think he's I don't know yet and I turnaround now."

Play from 10:59[10:59]" Well not to draft him in the third I Whoopi -- answer -- here very yeah. There's very little that would stunned me with with ballots at it he's proven over the years do anything and everything to help the team but I would be classified -- If Evan O'Connell not. Tom wait a member of the Patriots know whether it be on injured reserve but the practice squad. Or on the active roster somehow I'd be stunned if they traded them -- similar you know. Cut ties with him I would be I've really done for a third round. Then cutting ties him. I already -- I. Leave as soon and -- question what I'm okay and I think it you know engulf America's -- wasn't room in the attack -- and they info -- it's technically into bigger and I think he's right up top for good question wondering with the draft -- it they don't win it because that's -- thing does -- mean in other -- you know and -- appeared. -- represent -- based on the preliminary."

Play from 12:02[12:02]" Second round passed. Around but the preliminary indications of the first two I think right now I I don't think it's deals you know. Playing games for everybody expected Edmonton -- You know you better the tenth pick in the draft. Contributing. On deep right it all back in April and we all have -- that applied. Looks like that's going to be. On Tuesday we had mark Palo from WB -- here. Opted to say hello he's very upset. Because PFW progress misspelled the name at. Dispel the cappella. Oh once again somebody comes on the -- and day. And now he's the star and he's worried about people well travel with deal though the time mark with a Z 22 -- at the -- right -- I -- But anyway he's upset in came from England of course will make that changed. Part of being attacked him from Wales. The Wales and England it's not okay that's a distinct -- almost joked that he. I'll like that of other housekeeping I top quarter I expressed my concern over him get a couple of very interesting email that I should probably get to right off the top yes. Todd nova goes CE says to me thanks for the concern in the basement is cold. And I think we have got to mould problems so it might be making me -- the pipe bomb project is going well. Not well in the hat ideas really helping that's what the paper balls so that this is probably solve. I think that I think it's started to get to know Eric project. I've been really wearing on me in -- and achieve Eric is the pac man Jones the Patriots beat the bad he'd. In is destroying the organization from the inside. Correct it sounds like a great addition to the PFW team that quality and he still doing the great job they've always done. Now that football will be back tonight once Eric -- to checkmate everything will be right the world it is. Beat you -- on site. That on my mom doesn't have your name on Saturday you follow that up with the the enhancement like home would go read right now I records -- know a man of the masses he loves the women on the Spanish channel especially if they have big -- Quite pods and caddies and top shelf this and that he does perfect push -- and diet wise that I. Curt Schilling and dorm across the heat St. Thomas and almost all states is live embrace the hate you away it's his motto. Rape pillage and -- picky with Lotto started a team paper with his bare hands he did let's hope the hall opens that we doesn't blow was lit. Bass pro St. elmo's the man eats a lot after the Patriots -- had a dream so that's why I. When he was done help -- again moves too we all know the Kraft thought he was that you. I. Don't -- he he love toys ask him about the tennis racquet winning it's a boy. -- ago. Frank hi ho in -- dealers' names. Don't -- doesn't -- during games kidnapping kickers wives Klecko and Welker he's hoping it does all of the favorite until Felger. I have a great deal of video he did -- a -- a -- but we all love -- career. It's not nova Scotia PS just joke -- like most of my emails and PP yes hater that note. But oh well. I have another -- Gary printed that you got to be taught in nova -- get that says don't and Eric to erupt and into the cheerleader chit chat he'll fit right they think that's great idea. How about that are about no use to help them fill some of the video yet you know on. I think I think you could you know be good addition to that. It's sort of like -- You know I didn't moderator -- like that -- from Patriots dot com. I'd -- that is exactly the -- information on. The other -- it's totally -- restaurant that the cheerleader chit -- is really -- for young girls aspiring to beat you lead right now and it sure Jeffrey Laurie Brzezinski and it's really not meant for which is -- downloads as nice that you give me five minutes -- on the show they are now at a billion -- a record means strippers put together will have that you jet taken. I web Brady let Patriot Act covers email at five weight by what 37482. In a phone number. Guys we should probably get right into it. Far. To that yet. Conditional fourth round pick I think it's steal for the Jets why not do it what's going to happen to petty did what it is due to the eighth seed in the Patriots. I'll open it up."

Play from 16:53[16:53]" Great question does nothing to the -- and now that a limit is it week by Bill Clinton but it does make that a legitimate playoff team in my mind because I thought they were potential wild -- team start with. And with far he's very good in the regular season of late last year and is that good again like that team that uh oh. I think he's going to put him and give them enough wins and eleven wins in the playoffs that's going to beat up on. The Dolphins and the bills in the cheap Britain the other bad teams they like the nickname of betrayed itself the creativity of the top 2 of the morning. You know a conditional -- expecting a third second or. And everybody wins the Jets would certainly you can tell yet you know going to the Super Bowl and -- approximately 80%. I'll give it would have had to drop it fanatic green after it burned. For giving up the guy. Right that's a good and all obviously human human depending on his playing time in the Jets. At a very treat it as well it goes to a second round pick if he gets. Who at 70% that he does -- did you grow while he's there with the the -- the other part of the Orioles are going to point out cutting Pennington at 4 o'clock today and -- ready to ship them out of Cleveland where there -- pre season game. They did it as sort of a favorite but also sort of you know along get away from you name of the game tonight -- and does anyone. -- the Pennington might be available. If he wants to get back up yet I think it would be perfect now my guess is he still means he's in self starter. I am I just -- the writers were privileged to cover him in New York I don't like woodwork here I mean -- it is a nice guy but like that he's got to start mentality. And you don't want that kind of you be signing not back right -- and knowing the -- that's different -- I understand it I just -- of his starting job that would only -- coming to a team player's former -- points a year about it and the average he's not going to play -- would -- be happy now -- but it's an article on it ought to be -- he would be happy he -- signing no right back he can be the back up for a year you might not play you do play you're gonna win you might win a bowl as a back up but. -- next spring we part ways and you go find the perfect job for you gotta be somebody giving him more than lightly when LeBron Edwards in Kansas City is the likely it's an or been an I would. Figure out morning ones. At this stage two weeks into camp. About. How many teams would be willing to scrap the whole plan and go -- it's not -- I would. You know oh. Really really significant shoulder problems -- the already what has -- quarterback around to begin with but. The shoulder really and it take away if -- portion of his ability all the ball downfield at all. How many teams be willing to throw all and I think -- which is. Prior. With me because of that but otherwise well a lot of teams -- and quarterback. I just don't know at this stage how much about what you'd be willing to do to make him be hotly not getting money. The team doctors -- starter he's not a proven starter he's a question mark may -- starter. So probably goes anywhere egos egos and back spot. You know you look at that day but backing up Tavares Jackson it's that backing up -- minority royal I'm going to beat him out by -- You know back at Tom Brady is navigating on the Raiders backup or starter in waiting in back up to a back so -- It comes down to really come -- to Pennington impression of them right now right how does he feel he fit into the NFL right now. What is he willing to settle for he definitely. Starting quarterback right now anybody else. I don't think -- that quote give up the dream. But looking for a job as a starter in August is not the team is looking for -- and I -- he's the perfect you know whether -- wants to believe it or -- he's the perfect -- to come -- settle -- You know -- would give it darted down because he's a -- with -- quarterback. In his weak arm and everything you wrote him off with his weak -- then you're really just lobbed it up as hard as you can -- but he didn't play well here last year very accurate he would welcome will continue the pace right now that would not. And you -- and yet -- tomorrow they played together Marshall. And never. What stated that -- treaty with. Pennington was sixteen -- it would hatred. And -- now I think it's higher than that the schedule I think that ought to cut -- the team. Probably ten. And we because they're very ironic I haven't done it and threw mean the outlawed -- never never -- operated -- that he knows what he's going to say the back of the other extreme winds that were never a little -- I. Don't. Say. For the purpose of that on hard you know. You know. Right I think -- Iran and minimum bought the team -- went 1112. It was good enough that is -- at quarterback to make a lot of it would when my fear with Matt -- right."

Play from 22:22[22:22]" I think -- made a great point they have hit a Marshall and recently win. At -- my charity thing. Or what petty charity the I think what what what other bad ones they were there -- with high praise on -- saying he had which the Jeff -- and end in -- that that's a good point -- Yeah. Point out that might. I'm -- all doll and a to me this ability ridiculous for me that's a big difference that have a tendency that it could be that there is making a playoff I am well -- this July numerically. It. Out now it is always say is anybody can run the."

Play from 23:02[23:02]" On ourselves I checked I haven't -- when I have to think maybe a little bit more Pennington most people I think he's a good game manager. I think he doesn't make a lot of mistakes I think he was on a team that not relying on in the -- the other line forty times a game. Particularly from coming from behind -- it get it down field I think he can be very successfully I try to in this country we think as a starting quarterback in league with a pretty mediocre team is pretty impressed -- that yet that Curtis Martin had a couple good receivers that they had had an offensive line. It was a damper double of Cora at once we want when anyway -- they -- was helped off that how worked it was an easy formula Pennington -- win Pennington and ask you -- the Spurs right deviated from right because they had no. Yeah not that they had no running game and if Pennington had a lot fashion line. Pennington where here and had to be the start time that would put more pressure more on the running game I would and that's guys and that's why not well less pressure than -- Matt -- at the plate -- and you let us know him not so much but I think Chad Pennington you know all pro in the making I think it. Given his game I think it would be well it fits right on such a team absolutely and I -- a lot of greens and street when I was I think I think rated materials and -- and ready to deal. On any. I real idea Dakota -- team like the Jets the Jets -- well I think -- Brady probably going to be close that he wins with that as much better and -- Brady who competed -- as a top. Look at that I was going to take a -- go -- We only -- dug up -- Barbara what he means the Patriots that yet checked."
