Play from 1:31[1:31]" I welcome the -- regardless. If it's Thursday weird -- stadium. Italy and there are my golf there for a while -- I don't let that call them you. Anyway. An important. Adam and."

Play from 1:50[1:50]" We got a big -- today a few years ago. Big big you know we knew coming out not verified yet -- but on Litsch. Maybe -- with the Patriots according to hate football talk. I -- Pro football -- like it but I -- I don't -- in any trouble it's pro football pro football talk but Mike Florio is reporting according to will be John. Signed with the Patriots and even -- vote for -- he didn't deny it was here he taught that you hadn't been built but he's not yet a Patriot until he is. Until that might come on -- haven't so okay that the yanks not to -- file that one in the category of what Britain because I think I'm with you I didn't think they should actually well I don't -- there injury -- Unless Rodney Harris and can't play. Am I I don't really get -- that's why it is so similar. I think maybe. Lead a little better clothes line. I don't care that rod and has beat them running our way better -- John I think overall narrative every aspect yeah putts and Tank Williams went on -- are you don't think that that's. I was logical move. And and to bring in someone who might have that the quarterback was more than they need right I don't I really don't get I won't do it again and older organized I'm what I Iowa. -- second ball looks every bit as majestic as the first. -- they canceled. Now it gets old. John Lynch and they -- brutal. I another guy that you are neck and neck with I think yeah not really age old. Exhibit thirty I don't know. I don't either at the similarities with what they were talking about -- take points. I don't need him a guy who wrote sideline -- stay physical press like he's been a hard nosed player for a lot of years I personally have always thought you know red. That he was overrated. On but even in his heyday when he was a good productive player Pro Bowl player. You know on merit not on reputation. He was kind of known as a physical guy. Who who you know -- cerebral player a good leader inducted all those kinds of things but I -- sure that guy that you want. In a package is playing a linebacker role to be too tight ends and -- in running back -- by the way they were getting used to say that. What I thought -- Williams -- accommodation of of size but he. You know you had spoke with the lynch he I think right now for second down the or he's Aaron and tight. But to have -- them on the field in time I think -- out of Italy. That what to what we thought they wanted to do would yell at -- want to get younger and faster in this now no wait I doubt it -- money contract -- it I'm sure about the financial wrist is fine now not yet Greta let that at her a pat I don't know why I don't -- and I could be other contributing more."

Play from 5:00[5:00]" A lot of that. But what if it takes a roster spot that would have gone in one directly who can play corner and safety and -- Warner injured yet and special teams in the corner issues. Continue to haunt you into September October. That night you very well armed quarterback which I'll -- happening but I think you have more options if meriwether and -- on an -- I agree more I think lynch is a very limited player at -- but it is highly heart -- line or it will maybe that's true to life. He just seems like -- literally will -- get rid of positions up -- That I that -- that there I don't heroism -- you know -- alignment and why -- he why does he want to come -- but -- left Denver -- he want to -- two national player well yeah and and that he was going to grow in Denver I don't want it. I mean Saturday but I don't understand it a BR do you. I don't think it's a bad timing but all the things that people talking about for him potentially to meet don't make a lot. Of the -- and thinking first and foremost. And I don't have a -- skill and in Denver at -- they wanted him to be a first down. They wanted to be an early down player and again -- like he got -- and they have Rodney for that and injury concern with Rodney. Like I think Fred I think you might have brought that up initially. Knowing that we don't know he was in an -- started camp late he's been in they aren't without merit and he'll be with the injured players on. Whatever they were in the bubble. And I mean running like running had a pretty full so it's not like this is on the -- he's like on crutches right now but it might not be -- might not be short he's going to be able to hold up -- like after the that's on our ability to speculate on. But you have to -- that we don't regardless I don't think it's a bad signing because a good solid football player they bring in. Probably. You know on on the cheap money. And you know if that doesn't work out not ventured nothing you know it's it's not -- Arnold or -- risk there. You know even you know at the stuff that that you guys probably audience and I I I like in an epic etiquette camp like bill talked about again today. But if it if they even would act for a guy like that I would beat the it would get him back if you if you needed him in. I don't agree that bit I'm not a at that they made -- diving -- don't eat a lot of the yeah that's the people talked."

Play from 7:30[7:30]" Don't get at least meet the they are. Not saying I loved John hey William and you want your favorite player I compatriot. -- that he. You know does that replace hank Williams because hank Williams. Eighteen John -- I'm not saying that I think that. The role that Williams was going to play much different than what -- is going to bring to the table here this -- not. In that way -- replacement for equally."

Play from 7:58[7:58]" It's funny because I feel the same way about this move as they did about Tank Williams playing that a Jerod Mayo. I kind of liked the -- Brandon meriwether and James Sanders -- any and all opportunities that might comment safety. Because I think that the younger players who they're good enough or the future rather than. Stop -- John Lynch. Role player I don't know I -- penalty lean towards the the young guys even on into the -- and -- that's it would be well I mean they they trying to go back and forth between. Younger -- adding veteran guys. Got got that night and yet that would make it. You have all the young players. On these five. But particularly plays from guys that otherwise industry. Is somebody who doesn't know that only has really a couple of the other -- He comes from a Tampa two team that's what his career was built. Into into the scheme that I'm aware I'm not worried I'm just saying I don't think it's an obvious night."

Play from 8:58[8:58]" I hope we obviously -- jump right into the hot topic today. The signing. Which had a point that out right artificial I think a great player. With the puck in the in a Broncos and it's OID when someone of his catcher. Comes on your team though I think we should be excited about it. But I think we have to and it. You know something that it will be interesting to get to see how the guys. On the team web radio a page dot com email or web radio at pictures dot com probably five what three them 482. Phone number practiced today at 230. And we should also note that tomorrow's practice -- going to be closed the public now opens. The public at noon at practice. Will the different timing it will be the last open practice. With a team that year to the public. Noon tomorrow is the last time and while you hear walker -- it took -- lot of great eight."

Play from 10:01[10:01]" Money by something have a burger at red robbing goat or the Reebok through tomorrow capital Milan tomorrow peak it over the windows of the upcoming tour it's going to be one helluva play. The -- Mark. They kind of -- Ordinary alerted that there -- open up if -- adamant you know I don't I'm glad. I've open helps grow food at the theater. Okay -- the only in the year. I'm going -- number -- are you. Like. Oh. That's tomorrow at -- last public Pratt wore the Patriots. The product and you like Peter Frampton I was I liked him -- you know -- I don't know I liked it and I can't believe you know Williams and I'm not and I mean I thought is. A a ridiculous mix of everybody from every generation and -- alive even if it was not I thought he was dead beyond the odds. And after that. The."

Play from 11:09[11:09]" Times and I bring up something like whether via TV show. Not an actor or musician I'm I'm -- that was. Or 1980 that you never heard 95%. I always your that's why have prize heard a -- of edged up. Never -- I've seen them the -- but not with regularity like you -- a scene from my love Lucy and in half a second it would -- the results and it sounds so well I don't watch it now but I every probably may can -- that most people have. I don't. Most people your age probably out. Most people my age my age. And the little kid in the Aaron's -- to gender. What. All that they've seen. -- but I know owning a lot out but I mean those on other shows or like classic TV reference shows not 'cause I actually like episode four and that's exactly how effective you what knowledge I don't know play either but run home run that's that but that. Generally like -- analogy to explain to violent Lucie is that you that's like. Peter Frampton that -- Alex Peter Frampton. Constantly. And out Expedia. On TV I'm really surprised whether you have the eighties. Yeah prize laureate how -- All. It struck me as kind of but you guys like had -- painted with this singular broad brush his I don't I felt like Carriker here complex. Opening in all of one Pittsburgh that went in hot -- came -- orange -- is Mexican day here to let -- this -- chance of that happening later. Chris with a CIA and breaks if I'm a I don't get the signing are the pats not happy with editors -- whether or do they feel Rodney has. Running hasn't been out there. Is editor has been limited god and and related when he was out there yesterday was not taking -- I don't know what is deal is if he's not fully healthy York. In on on open who wasn't their talk about the potential signing before Rodney started -- time camp. Was sort of -- rule morality. Does that editorially so I think that's why you're doing -- any time any. Veteran of note becomes free we've we assume that this -- actually I they had interest rightfully got to dance. And apple Michael -- like me oh really today. They'll like -- once the season any interest. McCardell. He's -- ten years I'll go get him because I liked him one day on the auction draft right now and do that player that I agree with bill on that round. You definitely at laurel opportunities by this particular one -- I'm not exactly opening I -- it has to be related to -- Otherwise I just don't you know it was a in Almonte might -- little on football and Al today -- the -- Compared to junior. And Tony junior Al was every bit the athlete. That he's always been. When he came he could still run he could I find that -- it was their ability. And I don't think. Were talking what the issues with John Lynch the -- not to it used to that line now one. So let's start there another way to get a player but an accident as he clearly out you claiming -- but he also not athlete that that -- Scott and I don't think it's just lay out in terms of physical fitness and let it is in his one of the great guys -- generation. I mean he there's a godly like Richie audience and Goodell -- and a leader bet."

Play from 14:57[14:57]" What he's like a weaker and -- Squeeze every last ounce of life on that body. I John Lynch at Houston over chief planner I mean I personally never thought it was going to. Credentials. As a highly real all he was either going to a lot of highlight -- making -- it -- collection they are hitting bone crunching. It's clearly people out -- area I little a little bit nose for the ball. It to pay the -- points on you know football's important to understand the game good against the run. You know the cliche that. Your coach -- So while we're going to it would it would floor that for the next two -- as well as other Patriot news. -- what did you feel on one. Do we discuss some of the things but -- another. And."

Play from 15:49[15:49]" Oh they Jamaal odd day is an odd odd day on Friday a day Jimoh cornerback. At nine -- NFL games and -- 69. Added as a depth move Pete McMahon was asked to no longer ten practice -- no longer with a that happened that I definitely always gonna have 43 he was out on the field yesterday. He didn't look great but it was are they out there actually looked -- it was Jeff showed -- a couple. He's begins -- he's been out there a couple days now feel better in the system. And then he became goat to spokesman be easily once played with John Lynch though. And he -- guys they have like forty record and every -- you play in. The mother just did bit Tom Brady met with the media today -- on a variety of subjects one of which. Was that he plane to play this week which kind of obvious but. That definitively how much. You know even us anymore is going to play -- I asked him it sounds like a lot of those guys we did in week one we're going to need a week in Tampa. He also and he's very happy with a contract I don't know why that contract has become an over the last week -- I -- very odd. -- well in the luckily rotted. Well you know it started two days ago and RF mister Kraft about. And he was on the record and -- the contract people take -- contract I really don't now I don't know why it's become an issue you know."

Play from 17:15[17:15]" Gotta get back cap number off the kids are going to -- who I mean dirty -- in the front of our problem ought to try to trouble. They don't and why you know Tom Brady. Is happy. God forbid Tom Brady happy. You know I'd be happy with that contract at that I don't necessarily -- I think he could be making more money. Absolute lock up a little -- I think it's a Travis what do you make now but right to make it out like. Yeah any get paid too much it was unhappy Brady does get paid enough it happened but we try to paint and out that he's on it row. Like he's you know of this. Eight years below market value deal I don't think that underpaid he Taylor. Was -- needed to Matt Ryan and all. Now I know that I didn't pay by the media Ramirez tied into Manny and how he's not happy. You know it's one of those things I don't think he's that underpaid you know. If not this guy that make more money that shouldn't no question like it what do you make more money yet -- not wonder Oilers next -- come. But I making eight million dollar I think we're -- you very much like let's go in that. Of the money that -- crashed the LA like that he'll collect every penny. A lot to ask a lot of these guys it was a RP paid more and they they. -- live out their contract it will but they rarely well you know Brady will collect every penny that on that piece of paper and afterward -- What's that. He has the audience -- to -- contract okay."

Play from 18:54[18:54]" Now I don't feel good. I don't know. But. Yeah yeah I do I do I love being here love being part of the team. Great situation. Got a great coach a great coaches. Great -- minutes replace that great media and you know better and it's that."

Play from 19:20[19:20]" It would don't think that's a tough guy sorting out every time there right now and I want to lightning quick greatly asked hard hitting why can't I date coming up for the rookies I. I'm like an idiot for the record he's looking for Shawn Crable. And so on Crable Brady coming on the other advocates the machine yet I -- But -- some of the things he tack tackle yesterday I talked a little bit about the redshirt quarterback that to remove the redshirt. And then not where many more practice like one of the guys that was. But those. But I do as well but I thought it was thought that they asked that I talked about thirty minutes like it's. A I I -- scramble get today. Email is to agree with you they agreed with me you know for -- the -- It cracked the -- Of the month three weeks three months express here -- thought I. I ran yeah ran McKay. Yeah I can't cut -- over that way elect Barack Obama I was going to Iditarod Obama as far more -- and John McCain did. While the K that might -- to talk politics and -- like okay. At this volcano that that's ready to rock and he's. My trying to keep -- pretty down on our guys are bigger and these are guys on. Some quite over here for -- the architect for the I don't know why why why that -- like open. Look at why does that look like that probably there -- I -- I -- ideally I'd like say they'll you know architects. Coming along beautifully. For your information I -- you with the architect. And I'm not an architect. -- on air -- Patriots boring and I don't but by you know big you know Patriots play in the -- Very impressed by the limit for a kind of walked around yesterday under the ground Marion. Hall -- quite impressed a amazing. Patriot fans that. Like often look like you've -- it is going to go and they. In the going to be -- proud that the agency it really. It would and you need to build a mall the Patriots proud of their team I don't know that -- three totals and at the far wall throughout the course of the hall hatred. -- puzzle though that one -- No not that that's well but he him also is if they are a joke and me and we give era one point Otto again. I'm -- has -- it for the right ugly Brady weren't watching. Yeah not going to happen now. -- that.

Any other news before we get to John and LA and an Indian press conference. I usually I usually I usually I forget -- and LA on the phone but this time I did myself better he's actually that whole -- Look John I you don't."

Play from 22:43[22:43]" Pretty -- I didn't good. Good celebrity get very fabric Avalanche don't know I don't know well a little bit but -- what -- take. Well -- I don't I'm happy it happened there and like I have a Patriot kind of guy -- for not. I think it -- technically that's something most of the time about it and pretty dejected I don't think he's seeing. As. Oh well I'm helping keep the big critic I think what it and the -- back in."

Play from 23:15[23:15]" Is an important yet he now he's not the yeah. Better safety so much I mean Jon baddeley are better it and I have no question -- I don't want to confuse people say you'd think it would have been jobless. Now what they needed -- Tons of great -- Anything -- Not that."

Play from 23:42[23:42]" I think there even people and BLU seven ask PFW yeah and helped bring the corner of get WIU. Says -- That New York and private people -- so that Ted Williams. Part of the reason. That a lot of people work out disappointed. More than you'd think it is that you guys were pretty psyched -- lyrics site up did -- like. Maybe this is finally. Always about a departed I didn't like it Jonathan Vilma finish. Guys like that from all kind of linebacker play inside and and it also played safety but eventually you guys. Backed off of that idea and you are more like now I'd like to -- excited about."

Play from 24:25[24:25]" For us personally I think you'll I was excited about hank Williams but and I such -- I don't during champion and I invite bothered in Indy and the whole thing. At topic showed today why bother. Having these guys not on the field much you can I want them develop and from -- mail. I need to do all the things they were going to ask hank Williams to do -- to -- mile. I was never really excited about. Hank Williams being -- number one. Nine era in night either I just thought it would be nice to have in order of Italy for packages. Not not for an every down at a detailed look at -- does intent that there are ruled it not to put him -- I think -- there with the first to do at this time here you can -- of the and the -- What he could."

Play from 25:18[25:18]" MLB hit an -- like a versatility package that's how. Yeah I picked a lot of public -- the Indy cumulative you held off in the did the look immediately way to go to on. Eric and we got Indonesia."
