[36:30] ..." England's coach can only super regional lifestyle and entertainment center -- the New England Patriots and New England Revolution is now go home knowing when most of us. Exciting entertainment shopping destination featuring circuits. -- mystery shops all but one huge"...

[1:01:59] ..." o'clock aren't. The NFL network. And it's the Washington Redskins began the New York Giants expect him to implement it now and honestly I was that it matters and so hard and play that kicks off tonight"...

[1:25:24] ..." Tatum O'Neal I believe was the did you -- ceremonial race Tatum Bell and probably thirty Johnson's bags well it was in for a visit tumble. And a mistake Calvin Johnson has you know continue"...

[0:03]" This is PFW in progress. You know. Now about how she's looking over here now. But right now -- right now there's -- resonated -- pessimistic -- the Yankees guessing that they either way she slept through and I'm saying man. BMW in progress with breakers. Now value -- and the -- final ask you want to ask -- I -- Paul -- The Scotch on the rocks. Please any Scots would do as a blend of course. Single malt and live it's -- that it brings us maybe than guys blend."

[0:38]" And daddy and daddy -- it has -- yeah in this morning -- and you gonna say it's sox' world you know even the -- of the party. And all the parties of them aren't they all stop and spent at night all innocent girl. Looking around the room to see if there's somebody else is important -- and it's like I'm supposed to be all happy he's wearing a backpack and the hard you know. -- nasty -- sanctions that would mean that is surrounded -- bunch of runs in. I'm one of those. Eric -- you know. We're now anyway."

[1:11]" You want to talk to a man I don't want to be the guy in the PG thirteen and it would really -- Nixon. Good timely hit or move you know the -- the national weather or not you like him and she was coming from you're abandoning your best -- her good."

[1:28]" F and G Mike -- and money you know Alex you're a big when it I'm going to ask -- simple question pointless and who's the big winner. Mike he might winner might even win and you never know who else might dump why the FW in progress as part of the Patriots football network."

[1:49]" My big boy you're brought -- Not bad and I think that there's about stopping it."

[1:56]" All right we're all grown up."

[1:58]" Here -- grown up shoves and words you grown -- Out with PFW progress. And world except Paul to practice all of that practice and he'll be back and we bring -- practice report right well you'd want to talk. He's a lot to live up to be an illusion go to -- Era. With with that and you're you're reports were I -- the."

[2:27]" Anyway. -- here PFW progress. Paula that practice might correct the -- heart. Eric the lake -- Reno. Breaking news analog -- writers and Gary in the Booth. Breaking news a -- Really I hope it's not Brady's foot. That's a separate issue his dad says he was not made aware that it is broken that's -- in the papers yet senior Brady talked to believe they're ready to go -- go. Bill Belichick said he's ready to go in his conference call with the Kansas City surprisingly. For Australia -- I mean unless he's not ready to go when he's thrown a smokescreen."

[3:01]" He really lies on the record that much. But in new faces and -- and Craig not Craig Hodges Reggie Reggie Reggie Hodges until about the three pointer guys from the Bulls Reggie Hodges punter. Look like he's on the practice squad looks like ice and every locker was removed there's been no release as of yet. But managers based on our time locker room. Well actually that Posey got character. Didn't seem to have a locker either. But he was on the active roster. Right but he into metal locker yep because Stephen bought was all them locker room it was from -- days ago okay more when it really blame a guy you well know when you claim a guy off waivers he must spend too. Business days on your active roster. So. Posey act got here what they say he got on Tuesday it. Wednesday so he was here two days so they could release that they wanted to. After claiming him from the Jets though it possible he's gone and -- is back but I certainly -- spot putting on pads and heading up practice and I certainly saw Hodges in the locker room putting on -- practice. He's a rookie my guess is he's on the practice squad is Chris Hanson was still in the locker room. But it looks like these are the moves that -- and talk about all week more moves as the week it would have to make a move on the practice court."

[4:12]" They had eight as of yesterday to -- the very. Right out and got -- offered him he murdered at least that both. Right. But we will most likely get a -- after practice at some point and we were right I'm sure. -- he's not that hard. But nothing really affecting -- nothing anybody really cares now. CJ Jones. On that he would be if the punt return game but the although will -- colonial -- of reps on Sunday I think in. Defensively. We -- specialty. I think defensively -- argument and -- punt returns. They are going to college as I think he opponents are on the non non deep and yet. Yeah. Dug -- to put him on but I also don't think they'll colonial as any great. I mean I think there's a chance he plays per month and cut or -- two weeks I mean I don't you don't think he's an upgrade for Fernando Bryant."

[5:07]" I don't think he's outlets that are worth. I don't think there's any different from an upper right I think -- last former first round pick who's never been as good as he was I mean was supposed to be. The one thing I would say in Bryant favors at least he's basically been a starter won every -- whether it was Jacksonville Detroit. Deltha O'Neal lost jobs in in. Jagr Denver and is often in Cincinnati so reclamation. Right to gamble on both guys in -- of New York but that's why it could work out the same way you give -- Atlanta and send them. Packing I I doubt I would a year. It's it's going to be all or virtually all -- taking the wraps off and I ending his chance will -- is getting reps. I think they've gone with the youth movement got two guys like that seem to be around the ball and training camp when healthy and I think they're going to let him have their lumps and and he would they have. And -- got meriwether and Harrison side by side at the and don't -- and as the starter yeah everybody likes to forget him but he as the starter Brandon Meriweather has quietly and people pitches through Brandon Meriweather has never started a game at safety I think -- well his only career start was the Super Bowl as a nickel back from them they can yet he ever started a regular season games -- you say that because of injury -- because -- QB and her plans to -- it really over Sanders I think I think James Sanders is the most disrespect the player on the team that that the case. You -- you -- I don't expect to kind of guard goes unnoticed that that I think get a terrible pretty well -- run over one point have a lot of -- statistical plate wreck but he also playing I don't know there's. Lake -- he's supposed to be on a and in the box tackler that kind of guy he's been forced to play. Deep all because I don't they play -- in and right and left but. Oftentimes are you running Harrison at the line of doing things in James Sanders 25 yards downfield well that's not fingers and the better player. You'd rather have Harris and I but my point is due to Sanders. Is better suited to get on scrimmage he's the heir apparent Aaronson and when that roller residency -- and the next category in over the plane -- I actually don't think. Based on what I've seen I think meriwether and Anders could be decent combination playing together maybe in -- weather beaten -- Yeah I think he is that the more athletic guy you know he plays in the slot for them. Took reps at cornerback so clearly his pass coverage skills are supposed to be better than he -- he's in there is no respect. Right."

[7:34]" I'll will be here until 2 o'clock today is Thursday and it is the beginning of the season tonight we have the Redskins and Giants playing the Washington Redskins yeah so -- I had payments has had a Super Bowl in their coach Jim zorn on improvements right you get the head coaching job right to -- Forget he was supposed to get anything get it don't get -- the -- coordinator everybody else. They couldn't get anybody else take the job so they once he was thirty in the building employed they re interviewed him for the head coaching job gave it to let Torre it's going to be anyway to -- on -- it's going to be so. We've got that game tonight which means today is our first day of doing their -- which will do what I can our pol -- back. Last year I won that -- Half. I only did little validity whatsoever. He's. So -- will will be doing that today. Yes and the game starts at seven tonight very very hard time. Web radio -- back on the email address web radio -- win last year I don't think I -- and accurate 7482. With the phone number. To -- the Thursday games seven every week. Yeah well -- that number if you want to buy it today. Yeah we're just went our and our listeners really -- and -- interest because we've been getting nobody else is we actually beginning a lot of emails from people. That that we're only going to be three days a week starting next week -- rocketed to the schedule active. As we know Patriots Monday Friday from EEI gonna be streamed live on page dot com radio agreement in Friday. We pay PFW progress will only be Tuesday Wednesday Thursday. So we've got a lot of emails people -- you know -- better than EI great you know and although he mails to -- dot com we would appreciate it. But the food where you -- but. We're our letters that you we get a lot once a week now now you want to go to forties the week I mean that does not without its give and take care. Got him McLemore he wants and he only does our alleged -- and -- appetite sacrifice our lunch hour for you the truth so was sitting here. The only one we'll -- is Eric because on the only on the takes initiative to -- once and that. True we're -- another thing and I'll play their eyes Marca on a you know. Real men don't make the -- That's okay at that went out that at a doughnut through for a that's not -- that. It. Brown bagging your lunch that's not a -- as somebody make it board. Now -- homophobia is reached new heights real real men do whatever the hell they wanted to that's right there. You want to be an artist you're not. An outer rhythm and I don't primary wanted just don't -- look if you are so proud. Birdies on your side. Yeah he's never on my side I'm on my side -- decided what cricket -- and I jump ship and start making fun of him. So are -- so well we've we've got that to take care so let's talk about the schedule. Next week. Regular season schedule Patriots Monday starting at 6 AM going all day Brady. 8 AM. That they started at. But they don't -- but they talk politics and -- until 8 o'clock and Embree emblem. Well last week they had radio at 6:15 in the morning and they replace him -- o'clock -- I love these truly in progress arguments about like actually -- that anyway okay so. Patriots Monday at 8 o'clock Brady lives. Belichick alive at the 5 o'clock hour you -- players throughout the day. It's really not that bad and you know it's it's good that you get to hear that because a lot of news does not bad I don't think I'm just great I'm talking to the people who end of the emails that we don't want to hear that because. Player -- date. The player interviews on page -- they often do. -- that being newsworthy stories how do you how many times -- they quoted because yeah you don't get limited access to Brady and he says something with Dennis and Callahan that they -- and get reporters and every -- let's -- around the -- live historically dot com radio. They if Belichick and he he's more open I think with that crew that he is with the general meeting clearly so it's really worth listening to on Monday that your gut. I Tuesday Wednesday Thursday from twelve to two for two before you got rook and Eric -- not a -- Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and accurate but. Not called checkmate -- now. I don't I don't I've met from the fans for an but you have the oh from two to four different -- now aren't. I now what day Thursdays. From four to five. You gonna have Brian Lowe. Fan you load -- yet he's going to be hosting a show on Thursday and fortify. Called the the data loaded down with Brian Lowe. And then we're looking at a show with Brian -- and Andre Tippett. And around management noon. I think basically about you know have alumni get talking about gay also talking about what's going on today. But it kind of centered around the hall a picture plays and you know -- collagen in today's topic how great the whole thing in. So so tomorrow's topic how greater is the -- thing that's going to be on Tuesday from fortified. And Gary doesn't notice but we might have a special show beyond that that was the work. Outing who. Okay now. Other news the PFW TV she'll have to let people know about this we were going to be on Comcast this year. Somehow that deal is out the table I have no idea what happened offer on the table. Off that they might be out the window out the window off the table it's gone there's no this no PFW don't contest we are. Back on New England cable news -- it. So that'll be film that Tuesday's in airing on Tuesday -- eleven. Just as it did last year beyond our control as well beyond architectural -- made well above market right. But let me know some of our listeners were excited because. Comcast is more widely available. Anywhere on the satellite satellite they they were thinking -- he has unfortunately they won't. I'm sure well I'm going to effort getting a tape of the show that we can upload it to -- come at the very Lee we should effort to do that. Like that sounds so. But that is. Not I mean we're happy to be a -- but we were looking forward to doing -- show with Albert -- that would have been. On that pretty good there have been a lot of that would flamed -- so we have no idea questioned by what happened with that as well. And I out of."

[14:21]" Or go to the phone calls we should also mention the general change of schedule moving forward for regular season -- dealing with Bill Belichick media availability. Bill -- will be now be doing a Tuesday conference call. Generally there was nothing on Tuesday so pictures that -- have the conference call but there won't be a bill Belgian press conference anymore on Thursday there will simply be player availability -- a little bit change in the week different people that tune into his. Right so let's go over that again for those people who like to listen or watch the belts a Glavin pitch dot com or download the press conferences give the full. Weekly in season press conference -- for -- Monday. Monday in general is that Belichick press conference and player availability sometimes sometimes no player availability kind of more more times not right kind of more than he was here -- yeah hopefully Tuesday it will now -- a conference call that I think is tentatively scheduled to -- new moon and -- during our show we won't carry -- but will monitor that call bring -- any news it'll be available Patriots dot com. Then Wednesday's will be still sort of the big media day yeah where you have the opposing player conference calls you have a -- press open locker room. My guess is you can still have Tom Brady on Wednesday's even on this week it was a little little bit altered. Thursday then will just be player availability here at Gillette Stadium you get your update and quotes out of the locker room. Then Friday. Is going to be Bill Belichick it looks like it's going to be alternating coordinators between Josh mcdaniels who's going to be this week's Dean Pees. And then you'll have obviously player availability walked and then the normal posting stuff -- the conference. So we'll have you covered everything that's available but it will just be tweaked a little terms of the schedule."

[16:05]" Oh Josh has go -- you guys didn't consult anyone was ever bought you lunch -- trimming down your schedule be cut back and we -- we're at a news today you take back one day at PFW progress and we take away launches on most days they've given today. Also I was going to buy a POW private teacher. But made a thirty dollar donation to the Obama campaign and all law. Alou thing you. Your line not one of our spirits on -- on run well and if you you know. Front office at Patriots dot com should be -- you -- that -- it was a it and we don't make any decisions Swedish open door toll right in this of having a player credit card by once you know having two shows that simultaneously. Come emanating from two days to Bradley and you know and let's be on as much as I'd like what we have to say. One player -- fans like Europe and they'll actually he's obviously I mean every team I've gotten is that they don't like now in my mind our show if you gave us the availability of those players."

[17:07]" Would be tremendous we'd be way better than the EI could put out but when given. -- people. Oh we know what Wes Welker on here Matt Cassel and it's funny stuff it. They get Logan he's going. -- into the ground game rooms and -- I just right and Daunte Culpepper has retired in -- 82 to his fantasy football league that is all -- I bet my life I had an off that that's -- the Culpepper rapidly I in the you know -- take help directly email and ask PFW last week asking -- chance with the team and he watched you pre season games but we could use or. Tackled from behind we -- need it right the see that lineup straw that broke the Camel's back. You lose stroke that -- yeah he's that if any art doesn't again evident morons -- call a career and a for the record -- morning on. On my crappy team that league what I get -- by autumn and whose era. Halfway through Q. He's had a good team. You -- casual players right Roydell Williams. He's on the heart foundation but I don't think he's definitely regarded at Richmond dynasty met in somebody else by them. Already lost. Oh oh by the way rainy month. Oh yet. -- he on the phone or is that just the Mets that knows the -- Chris from the brought it is catching up today. Our favorite listener not some loser -- and pressed about the going to and the contribution shouldn't -- as we want to -- yeah rock as important to tell it Chris at all from the Bronx what the Columbia and Yale I don't know what he's doing listening to the show we have a lot of hired an agent listeners don't need to pretend that there'll also. Bought my job yes you both are mean. Yes we can we not blow the -- shall not are bringing up sort topic. Are right and the other thing Greg a favor by -- iron I hate Obama and I don't want my name associated with a contribution it was you hate him yes. Hate him per second -- agent I. January we're going to blame -- Bliley they've pipelines and that's great though pipeline that rated show. I don't hate the man but I don't want my name associated of them create demand -- pollution like pitiful that he liked you he says pompous as any individual were away -- and he's a lot like you we pulpit and has never done. Is could it be reds and that's where you'll be. On that developed John. I don't need to ban on -- by that automatic to lose a half watch for the show. I guarantee you okay it's a pretty impressive win for McCain about that it won't in the club won't even be close. Okay chance anyway this is going to get process. This isn't politics people didn't tune in through well through you yours your views are my user would go right. Three -- Barack Obama. The web radio at pictures dot com well we have we get get ready for the -- coming out and a half point favorite they were all the beginning of the week that -- that at all. I don't believe so with the Brady news and a little high -- I try to use some of our coworkers -- players who are super fans as a barometer for quote unquote super fans Patriot nation. -- Computer monkey very area area Cabrera Erik I think that she have a legitimate shot to win this game press isn't -- strong case. I ego is struggling Larry Johnson coming out against -- deepened it -- a better rushing for 200 yards. Well -- respiratory yards that it -- when I don't think they'll probability of that happening is slim to none I mean that they haven't had. -- quarterback. Do well against them but I don't I don't see I mean they are starting line -- what it used to be I'd like -- that was this rank you know ten rookies isolate one matchup on the offensive line Branden Albert. First -- Guard at the University of Virginia played I believe like who snaps left tackle spot. Because he has great the -- Bob I'll -- utley is an NFL left tackle who's gonna start the Kansas City she this Sunday in all likelihood. Start up. Which which -- is an left tackle left tackle tackle Richard Seymour and dale -- that -- if they don't have an old field day with Brandon Albert. Then you're in for a terribly long season in and jump off the bridge but my guess is Richard and what's going to kill him. A deal I'm going to run by him and Brodie Croyle is going to get broken in half. He was a guard was drafted away higher -- ridiculous. And and I think if you start to really break this matchup down beyond even one team's old one team's young one -- be good wanting isn't. I think it's just matchup with the Patriots could -- I mean it's pretty clear that gets his mail this season in just about that that well. It's a youth movement I mean they're trying barbecue next year -- right right if they tried to pull a minor. Barry on Herschel walker type trade all the picks or Jared Allen didn't -- in the mountain out of."

[22:16]" That he was. You know. And an eight hour you know going into the end of the season it in the kind of showed little bit okay like Chris saying. You know they have a shot but I first game of the -- he already had so many new faces on the road. No way behind my agent Larry Johnson. Hasn't been good and a year and a half. He's had a putting president -- is pre season was not good he had he averaged like three point happier now -- tell the pre season and how it puts young stars net but. To just expected to all the sudden come out rushed for 200 yards against the first game what. I am giving -- defensive front line credit that they're not going to be horrendous quickly if they get pushed around like a bunch are rookies and and -- starters in. Guys who have been around the league and various places then as I that you have more problems that you could even Matsui agree that it -- outside -- new look or deepened the Patriots it's a pretty good I think the Patriots are lucky. Lie actually -- I think this isn't a fifth pre season game. My outlet that had a video has against the Larry Johnson is a pretty good back with -- healthy it's a good look he would drive -- you can do it again or our parents aren't bad -- I think it's a good game for them to come -- out that it that it motivated individual this sort of -- of the -- prove anything against Kansas City -- If you'll let the will that prove you think but -- speed of forty suited the seventh does that prove anything not -- now while somewhat I mean. They couldn't get out of the wrong way in the -- right but we're only Kansas -- going to be the dog of the AFC. Wanna I wanna be one of one bottom five teams probably put right. Oh really -- we kind of have to either and do really well against this team if they don't cover should do well I would be a little bit worried and I -- and don't cover as you speak. What you just said -- sixteen have missed -- did today and I just because office has clicked yet. We haven't seen off two words. -- greatly. And speaking of him we did mention is that that he's good to go. He had no knowledge of -- broken anything. He was an all that -- was actually nothing started by Chris -- in a few weeks ago well then let's yesterday aren't EI on Monday. You know. They -- had the whole theory about the the circle for did you read that by the way. What are you -- circle of four on the Patriots he claims that this -- source telling him that with any. Player injury only four people ever know exactly what it is Belichick. That the doctor the trainer in the player. Now he felt that as many trainers and many doctors on this team but while that wouldn't even if Brady had a broken foot only four people in the world would know what the exact injury is probably true aren't they. Other trainers know but. Other players product and -- red personally technicality. Exactly what the injury the exact nature. Well if you're if you're trainer you're reading Tom Brady don't you need to know what the injury is that you can treat it correctly yes sort of but I know yet duty -- how real those sort because if Jim -- me as an assistant trainer and as. I need you to do a deep massage -- that for ten minutes then do ultra sound for fifteen and ice -- telling him to do that. Jim -- of -- goes to a dead and that those three things out. I don't know that the injury I just know exactly what I was told to do by -- error here I possibly -- that's possible let's -- that's completely plausible that that circle fourth thing could be accurate with an of of another assistant trainer. It's 'cause usually think I'm -- what the advantage of Bill Belichick not answering every question ever put -- four. They like to keep things tight and certainly with the injury I buy it I think it's very -- the first time ever and and ties it not true it probably was accurate okay so that a win in the past -- He reports have made apparel of the globe and they've been accurate how the heck does that happen on the doctor. The doctor but not it's not a player telling is batter it's not a player telling is. I'm a Fraley could happen but I. Don't like what are all that. Goes out yet if anyone of the four talks that it's a bigger than -- crooked and it is certainly an inability to right -- hello -- they're keeping it to a circle or they're not I telling every team does but I think I don't think like this I think it's kind of our daughter. You know or clandestine whatever you want to win this game it's it's kind of impossible for a player. Not to share information about his own injury what what other guys on the team exactly is it impossible for people yeah more people who know physically at the part where he does the epic nature of the injury. What that -- basically --"

[27:04]" We apostle eyes and think that's impossible I'd well. Anyway that's all there is a historical or Tapia if he's -- to -- our little more than other healthy dose. Of stupid. Who's on the circuit -- even -- dumb idiotic. Useless pointless. I disagree. I'm getting -- down with a friend. How about getting security their one of rice letting -- I was -- is right here it's against the woman and you're right you're okay. All right all right -- Chris Perez made that weren't getting I'll read it right falls back Al with -- threat on the high I think it's -- a line. I -- one of the practice. Practice this crap about practice Bill Belichick promised. It's. More roster moves to come and he did not. Why is where we kinda if we were right Aaron -- we sort of foreshadow this that -- it is okay -- them there -- two moves made one minor in nature on the practice squad that Tyson to re tied and was like go. Reggie Hodges a punter out of Ball State was signed in his place he was out there and a wearing number two Noah. That's big in the Internet circles -- number guys -- for that he was out there -- Another what I would consider minor move on the active roster in all tight and you don't win. Involved tight and even bought his back replacing the previous number 82. Tim yes oh yes that vehicle I won at the -- and we don't you know they can release is or or they just. They just signed him I've claimed him off waivers and he lasted three days okay so that was BS at the last two that was it it relatives and there was another -- major -- Friday night and earn a living by inability that they'll be. I said did you build diligent promise they'll be roster moves and he did not want they but I like what let him astray when you said one minor -- this one really minor move was on the practice and in our own minor an agent well that's why -- But that actually that big an accurate and -- Arizona -- attendance -- Same guys basically that haven't been around as of late Kevin -- serving and he's not allowed to practice. Joined by Dan Conley Benjamin Watson Sam -- and beat Stephen Smith. That's the group that basically has -- been out there one interesting game which I'm sure. Has sort of next explanation Stephen Gostkowski was not out there and practice which I was a little odd but we could not find him in our allotted. Media has. -- state -- also -- I don't know a whole lot about him Reggie -- and -- a lot -- the -- I watch what I say about him every -- everybody. Is worried you know I -- a -- last -- with an injury -- I assume that's -- I -- to show last night and it looked like he would -- that injury label and now -- you -- and I was like. When when exactly if you -- an injury and when he picked it hurt him -- that's always been -- knock on Benjamin Watson and he you know it hasn't been able to be terrible and the field of the one that. Well I thought this as an aside -- commentary by Wes Welker was out there Wes Welker was out there finished in in uniform. -- yeah I should -- orange shorts today without a doubt the under Shell short -- we don't they haven't got room in the back rooms. So now why -- why wouldn't -- must along a short of the preparation and looking already was out there moving around as he has been very real."
