we're going to be here live for the next ninety minutes to take your phone calls but it should also be noted that on this date back in one thousand nine hundred four we recorded our very first show was a long time ago when it was about three hundred ninety five shows ago as well but here we are still going and interesting lee enough if you look back at that first recording in one thousand nine hundred four which actually the tape no longer exists i've seen to misplaced it somewhere but the interesting thing is that it occurred only four days preview and also works as our anniversary program as we said here we are on the actual date that we recorded that first show and we're going to be here live tonight for the next ninety minutes because this is the eighth time of our twenty four super bowl specials that the  doing and patriots are playing in the game can you believe that every three years on average the patriots are playing in this game and that is that is pretty amazing just far as i'm concerned i never would have thought that when we first started doing the shows but they were going to be for the next ninety minutes our expanded patriots in the super bowl show and we're taking your phone calls at six one seven four eight four two four four three get that number six one seven four eight four two four four three if you are one of those people who likes to tweet the hash tag to use tonight would be t o s t two five twenty five course the date of our show and before i continue along any further i would also love to mention that all these years we have been here want to give a great mention to the fine folks at the belmont media center who have always given support as a volunteer producer that i've been for lo these many years and it's always been a fun experience down here and if you yourself have a creative mind you would like to be get interested in your own type of production the place to come is the b m c nine lexington street here in belmont and come on down volunteer get involved they would love to have you anyway let's move on with the program here and get a live t v it just never know what they're what they're going to throw at me before the show but here we are i cannot believe it's the eighth time in twenty four super bowl previews are patriots are playing in the big game just amazing how you mcclellan has been here for all of those because you know the first time the patriots were playing was twenty years ago this week in a super bowl that we were that was the first time actually it was one of your first shows in studio with us and also the only time i know i know one of things you've enjoyed about these super bowl shows is the picking the scores of the games and that was it was twenty years ago that the only time we ever had some correctly yeah well it's always good to be here judas love love being here you know it's just you know here we are again pat yes we are going to the super bowl i mean this is becoming old hat you know being in new england and you know whether you're a sports fan of any of the sports you know it's just you know it's just nothing more you can love you know and also let's say a big hello to one of our dear friends who is making his fortieth all time appearance on the sho involved so we don't find your belmont quite as often i'm glad you were able to take some time out to be with us on this a special so time to talk sports absolutely and i am so i could be here on super bowl weekend you know it's a great time we always had a great time coming down with you robert kraft you know bought the you know bought the team and then built a brand new stadium which of course is there today and look at all the success that's come from this it is you know it's like you said how this is old hat but it just it's old hat and yet you know i feel like i feel like i say this every every year that you know we just you should sit back for a moment appreciate just how great this is the dynasty the patriots now on the verge of winning their their fifth super bowl and as it is reaching the super bowl for the ninth time in franchise history which is more than any other team in the n f l i mean that that right there is amazing because when we started doing the show they had they had one super bowl appearance especially in the short period of time they've done it you're going to figure it's not like we're talking the whole you know the france i would talk in you know because they were an a f l team there for a while so in the short period of time it's all been most of it's been craft time that they've actually done this so what he's been able to build with the salary cap era you know with free agency and everything else that goes  on to be able to keep this train rolling year after year after year was just it's just a phenomenal thing that he's been able to do it and to haue his point to sustain this for as long as is the patriots app not so much the fact that we've they've done it in such a short period of time but to be consistently in the picture every single year it's six straight years getting to the conference championship game it means that little time record that that era when we were getting good for ball well now look at you look back at those team ugo they're nothing compared to what it is now nothing it's amazing to see where where the patriots have come from to to see what kraft has done to see what bella check is done let's let's let's put this into perspective knowing a lot of people from traveling around the country now that i talk to they all say yeah we're not worried about facing the patriots worried about facing ballot check said after they say they hate the patriots oh absolutely oh yeah yeah that's the other joy i get is whenever i'm doing any kind of demonstration for know you're a patriots fan and like yes i am and for a long long time there's been many years of pain and heartbreak and i'm also a sox fan so another another team of pain and heartbreak and now recently not maybe doing that big up and down thing these days again but true but they still won three more world series than any of us ever expected to see in our lifetimes oh absolutely i mean let's face it we all were buying into that curse after a while just watching them be able to come so so close and not make it well and just look at the other part of it to take it just to a broader range from there with all the red sox the three red sox world championships the stanley cup when there were celtics to something one one celtics and then the four patriots championships nobody wants to come to boston tonight and play nine titles in fifteen years nobody wants to come to washington play people beca  consistently always there i mean it's i mean the kids growing up today they don't know what it's like to have a bad boston team and once the last time the patriots had a losing record he tell me bellatrix first year two thousand when him here and he  and that was mainly because he just didn't get a chance to totally clean house even air it into a team from pete carroll that was kind of on the decline at that point anyway with some aging players and he was trying to integrate some of his own players that he had picked up along the way and so yeah it was kind of a whole transition team than sixteen years ago yet five in eleven that year and since then yeah it's been nothing but success and winning records and yeah playoff appearances championship games conference championships super bowls i mean this is unprecedented i mean bla check in brady going back to the super bowl for the seventh time no head coach has ever done that no quarterbacks ever done that but five in two will sound better than four and three that isn't true that oh yes special a big thing five in two is going to some better than four and three well because shukno has won four super bowls as you know especially i would think this year given you know how the year began for mr brady i would say you know he won't admit it you know but you could you know when we were watching the other post gave after you know they picked up the you know the lamar hunt trophy winning the it's a chip chip how we saw you know bob kraft make kind of a sort of an indirect remark about you know then even brady himself when he was asked the question about with this be extra special for you to dodge the question you know you have to dodge the question i mean he can't come out right out and say it the coach on the player which just confirms everything that we all knew is that he is probably if not the smartest player of all time the smartest player of all time because he knows what to say when to say it who to santa without i don't know if it'll be the end of the story for a lot of the fans around here but yeah it will be for me you yeah you know i agree in there i think that will be a sense of closure certainly that they were able to overcome you tried to stick it to us and we still ended up with this trophy in you had to give it to us so actually do have a presentation there because i could come up with a vehicle you know they and they always you know it gets announced like a few minutes after the game because everybody wants to know who it is right then the show the vehicle course i know the last one the brady won two years ago we gave that to malcolm butler who of course minutes we're going to be joined and we've got some special phone guests some guests lined up on the phone tonight as part of our patriots tradition we will talk to some fans in the other city of any over the years we've been able to to do these special patriots super bowl previews  fans from atlanta so we're going to get a couple of different there to fans yes yes they do amazingly enough actually these people i spoke to before hand one of the things they said was pretty amazing you know i was actually surprised i mean they said there is a a pro following down there i mean i know the first first person i was talking to mentioned something about well you know it's you know georgia football first but you know the university of georgia but the falcons are coming around i guess there were you know it's still compared to the fever around here for our proteins it doesn't compare but we'll get into that it won't be fair weather fans yeah you know but they are and in fact right now we're actually going to talk to our first guest who is on the phone with us and you probably if these guys yet but i guess we'll throw it out here for everybody you know we're talking about patriots and their legacy and what it means to be able to you know get to a you know to win a super bowl potentially you know these two see if they are to win and in a couple of weeks you know two super bowls in the last three years five total did these last two help they gave a little bit or take some of the sting out of the two thousand and seven almost but not quite nineteen and no streak i mean what do you what what are your thoughts on that  a little unique state to all that in so i do think that people will still remember the good and you know from what you know the first eighteen games and the first fifty something minutes of the nineteenth game but you know i think that will kind of backups backup command and we still come out of a three and was it was almost as if to say you can throw whatever you want to at us in the take away whoever you want but we're still going to come out on top and i think that's the legacy this year's team will bowl show that it is really a team effort i think you're right to be interested to see what you get a call volley a question back over to your side of the court i'm writing a column tomorrow that's going to be post tomorrow and i can let you guys know about it would be interesting to get your opinion  what is more impressive the two thousand each season where they were able to you know they lost brady the first you know the first quarter of the first game of the season and they still managed to go eleven and five or this season you did not have with brady going down initially but i think you we've overcome a lot more in a lot deeper obstacles this year especially go in third man deep with the quarterback early in the season with gronk being out the majority of the season like after that first quarter is like we just figured the season was lost we lost brady it's all over and then they turn around and still even though they did make the playoffs still committed eleven and five i mean and i don't think anyone ever thought that was going to happen that year we were i mean some of the pieces fell but they came back so they always were able to still pull it together where is that yeah you were pulling it together it was castle and nothing and and they still had a phenomenal season yeah you know it's funny chris i'm leaning a little bit in how he's direction on this one because i i kind of think that a weak team right you had tassel you know right i mean it was cassel or bust and what belichick was able to do i also think when you look back at that zero seven team i mean obviously you know towards the end of that season his course specially in the super bowl all of a sudden a lot of those veteran players started looking kind of old and i think going into a wait you know again they're there another season older now i think when you factor all that in and the fact that belichick was able still you know with that whole law fence in place you know with tassel down making the throws and everything to be able to win eleven games basically the only loss the playoffs not a tie breaker i mean otherwise they would have won the division they maybe this year is the fact that at the beginning of your obviously you know brady you know you got to rappel you got reset but you also had a defense that was kind of struggling and they were trying to find their place in what is bill belichick do trades one of the best players you ship him out of town and all of a sudden you know you pick up a few other guys here and there and now the defense starts to come together and they're playing their best football right now and obviously you know in the end they're in the super bowl so yeah maybe there's there's something to be sent about what's been done this year to it it's a it's a really good know a few books including the blueprint which talks about how the patriots beat the system to create the last great n f l super power i'm going to use that the title they are the blueprint do you think with the atlanta falcons having you know their front office me and by the only couple of former patriots you know management guys is it possible here that the they that arthur blank is trying to create the blueprint can't always have it work the same way i mean perfect family didn't work when mcdaniels went to denver and really didn't have a lot of success when he went to kansas city so you might have ideas of trying to do it but again i think the best thing that the patriots have always done is they look at the talent that they have and they try to make a game plan around that talent not try to go in and force the their ideas on the tail and make them produce what they want and i think it works the same way with management they get to go in with an idea of what they want to do but they get a look at the pieces around them and then see what they can get best out of each one of those pieces so you try to use a little of it but you also have these little common sense because you have to make it work use that and show there is a certain element of luck in timing that i think that we saw some of that in what seattle was able to do and the fact that they were able to draft a quarterback in relatively low when they had you could be sent to pieces in place man a good locker room that was you know that a solid infrastructure need a coach to click with a lot of the key elements on their roster and then they were able to build him in relatively short order a very competitive team that that's still competitive you know they still have that championship window in try and apply it to your own situation it's difficult to try and say look we're going to replicate we're going to try to replicate every single thing that they did because sometimes not all of those elements are transferable o you know but you're right chris but you know as we look we look ahead to this upcoming game and this match up and you know one of the things that of course it certainly came to fruition in the a f c championship game you know i just would how he was talking about here you know the patriots always you know have a different game plan for each opponent you know they and obviously they also work with the talent they have to to make everything fit correctly but one of the things we saw the reason why the patriots seemed to make it look relatively easy against the steelers is the because for the twelfth time in the you know the brady bell a check here of the steelers decided to run the exact same type of often the exact pretty fence that they ran in brady just said oh thank you very much and and chris hogan was left open on every play you know but you know the interesting thing is  here the other strategy the patriots have of course you know in the end to help neutralize pittsburgh is you know they basically took the and tony brown away or they minimized him i mean he had seventy seven yards of receptions but malcolm brown and other guys did a pretty good job covering him they didn't let you know antonio brown get one hundred eighty touchdowns so you know the patriots always say get you know the philosophies always go after the one that they can beat you ok with it late i guess that julio jones except i'm reading a report earlier today on football outsiders dot com that listed the fact that the atlanta falcons played their worst football this year when julio jones had some of his best games and it was mainly the secondary guys like muhammad sunu in the end some of the other receivers who did not perform as well new in well you know you also look at the fact that the both of their back present a threat and packages out of the backfield and so you kind of have to i don't want to go back to the old cliche of pick your poison but i think it certainly applies here i think one of the things that is important coming into this game   in italy appears to have some dependable third and fourth options in passing i wonder how that's going to manifest itself on sunday i think could be inclination is to say look cleo jones was a guy we have to do our due diligence when it comes to showing him down we need to double it we need to make sure that he's not able to hit those home run balls like you've done over the course of the season so many so many times but then again you know you look at the passing game you say ok do you know do we want to do that the expense of give up some yardage to some of the i you know obviously you know you know this this information about mack i mean obviously map patricia on the defensive coaches know about it as well and they're bay may try to test that early and and maybe see if they can attack that that whole of the office the rapaport reported off the n f l network web site that i guess tells but it's got some bone chips in his ankle possibly i mean that might explain i think the reduced performance we've seen out of him what do you think i mean what do you think about just for you know for league rules and he would not have practice today because of the concussion you've been important obviously important part of what they want to do on special teams the only guy who i think and i think the only guy who's going to try and win you know parts in the olympics in the super bowl in the same  of things to change between now and then i mean they they pick them up when no one else would i mean he's played a little bit you think you think they have any idea to have floyd make any kind of contribution in this game i think that michael troy has been a really good teammate in the short time that he's been here but i think it's going to take some more time for him to gain entry into convert the circle of trust and put that as politely as i can performance in the divisional playoff we kind of wrap up our segment with you here chris one of the traditions on our show is we always ask everyone who is either here on the set or part of our crew or who called in to give us a predicted score of the game and in make opposing teams have to go the distance have to go you know seventy eighty ninety yards i mean ryan allen has the potential every big day next because again the patriots play very good complementary football in that a lot of that starts with the special teams ability to claim the other teams deep in their own and zone to give them a long field as opposed to short field and so i think right now is going to play a big role in that next sunday and i think he's going to he's not going to be m v p obviously but i think he's going to be one of those hoping here i'll let the cat out of the bag a little bit we're glad they have making your first appearance here via the phone but we do want to get you in studio soon because you are currently in the process of writing a book about a franchise that is near and dear to my heart having grown maybe martin we have our mark show you can you know we can hopefully we talk about a patriots super bowl win too we'll continue to bask in that but you can talk a little bit about your book and just like what was your reason for deciding to want to write a book about the whalers i mean because they've been gone so long and are kind of irrelevant to most people's minds well i can tell you it's really kind of just started it but the one of the fascinating things is that every time i bring up the whalers even in boston no matter where i am people always chris listen have a great time down in houston bring us back one for the foam or is one more is robert kraft was saying we back and yeah definitely and thank you very much for joining us tonight to go talk through it all right thanks very much again that was globe the washington post dot com s i dot com i mean any of those places would probably love to hire him back so i'm sure he will be unemployed for too long anyway quick go around here what it all go back to the first question  asked chris do you think these two that the two super bowl wins here the more recent ones do they help kind of take the sting out of zero seven a little bit because you know what you remember how it was after that loss of that super bowl when i just fully never saw they have a losing that game any of the super bowl and one that you know went nineteen a no i think it would have meant more then the string that they have because that's something that probably will never be duplicated again you know i mean other teams have four super bowl teams they are going on to you know all of the super bowl appearances all of the a b c championship appearances all you know if we go five well it in fifty years only two other people have done four so that comes on t v after my head and i don't care how many world series and one that still thinks and i yeah it does it does but that team didn't go on to win any or participate in any other world series whereas this team and these players you know this group of course this coach and single singular quarterback let me tell you they're going to look back and go yes that was terrible that really stunk that we lost that one game but darn it look at what else we did i mean you can't morally company anyway we're going to go back to the phones of course part of the tradition of our show when we do the super bowl specials as we mentioned earlier we talked to fans in the other city to get their point of view we are joined on the phone line right now by erin bubs who is a manager at right your own private table which road trip we have we for places like that around here anyway we're talking to erin buds who also not only works at the stats bar just down the road from the georgia dome but he's also a big fan erin thank you for joining us here on time out for sports talk so much pleasure my pleasure yes so now we're i think you know we talked before you guys are just a few blocks down the street from the georgia dome and in fact when the falcons move into their new stadium next boston college we're familiar with the with the falcons quarterback but the atlanta sports fandom has more of a reputation of being a college sports town less of a pro sports town how is the how's the fan these falcons last year were eight and eight i mean they were five hundred team and then all of a sudden this year you know they win thirteen games and make only the second super bowl in franchise history i mean how is it how's the support been for the team this year it is everyone in atlanta right now just got south  we're like i said we're about four blocks from the georgia town we're right next to the georgia aquarium which is the now the second largest aquarium in the world but yet we're right in the heart of downtown and that is one heck of a stadium their building down there  had the opportunity to walk by it a few weeks back man that's a that's a good looking place i'll tell you what it cascades the skyline of atlanta sort of georgia dome was a beast in itself and for it to be football things like twenty five years old the baseball stadium all they built that i mean it came as a result of the ninety six atlanta when you know when they hosted the olympics so again we're talking twenty years ago and already you guys are just going yeah you got disposable stadiums down there around boston we ended it's like we had to keep growing with the culture so that being said i mean we're excited to be the recipient of not only a brand new baseball stadium but a brand new football stadium said they were five hundred last year do you attribute that to coach quinn that he's made that much of a difference because in the past you've had talent you've had met ryan you know there's been pieces in place but this hadn't been able to put you know we have a lot to prove respect wholeheartedly what our new england has accomplished over the years go to south said and done we have a very very very potent options and our defense has really stepped all right one glad to hear that aaron all right well one of the other traditions we do on the show is we ask everyone who called in to give us the exact score of the super bowl if you get it exactly down to the point you could come up here  this show i mean that's the prize we give out unfortunately we not paper your flight up here so you have to do that on your own but we would allow you to host this show and sit right in my chair and do whatever you wanted for an hour but you got some gracious atlanta falcon thirty six yeah patriots twenty four twenty four well it's interesting you bring up the thirty six because you know i was reading atlanta this year when the score over thirty points they given up the he was points on average the season i honestly my biggest worry this year was a gets a green because actors and that being said i look at the magnitude of our schedule versus the patriots within reason obviously is not going to enjoy it when the patriots win but anyway well we're going to have some more fun with these atlanta folks and of course aaron bugs there mention all those different it land radio space stations doing the sports shows it was a five hundred team obviously dan queen came in though we were just talking to one of your fellow falcon fans who thinks dan quinn's made a big difference down there is that really kind of what got started that the fan support i mean you know you're only if either team last year when female dan quinn when he got in office to you know when you're first draft i want three starters and i want to be in the super bowl in three years and dan quinn chippers we responded well how can i get you down or in the new stadium while we close out the dome and he did get three starters in the church and a fourth if you include drying pool or undrafted free agent safety she stepped up unbelievably high tension to shoot it's just great to be in atlanta falcons sports broadcaster in town the scottish in the championship yeah well there you go on the old good old you d f a's i mean the patriots have been making a living on those for the better part of a decade and a half now let me let me ask you this j at least from up here our perspective of atlanta obviously the city sports teams have only won one championship you know we've had you run two different hockey franchises totally out of town and one of the reputations at least again from from here in new england is that you know some atlanta sports fans are kind of front runners a bit you know you could but you couldn't you know when the braves were winning all through the ninety's you had trouble selling out playoff games it's really more of a college sports town the proteins people don't get into it but you're saying that you know how do you kind of dispute that in you know talk about the current popularity of the falcons yeah absolutely you guys you guys got it nailed down to a t we've had a hundred sixty eight combined professional seasons one championship as you mentioned we have run off the thrashers and i believe it was the flames were the thing in calgary and you know it's it's obviously not a hockey town it doesn't get very cold here the threat hugo everybody goes and gets little can bread so hockey just didn't stick here i don't think there's enough fans but i honestly think if you if a hockey team were to come back here to address the hockey team i think they'd do ok now because like shit there's a train it's a trans you to be there's a lot of people here that aren't from atlanta so but again due to just this team's different business the first time i've ever seen green bay come into town and there's been more red and black in stance in green and yellow in cheese so i've been in this town you know as numbers were great but matt did it over sixteen games so i mean it's kind of i go with that yeah and the other thing is that would work in the right i mean i think ryan has the better numbers over the course of a full season the other thing is they announce the i can say is talk to you gentlemen i'm just excited as a sports broadcaster to be in a town like i said where where our football program is finally pushed in through the super bowl first time since like i said ninety eight so we're buzzing down here and i expect a heck of a disagree completely with dan shaughnessy but i do i do i do disagree with the fact that we are getting on our teams down here and i think it took a little bit from from the falcons when mike vick had the dogfighting incident and  incident i really think that took a lot of the the fans that we were gaining from the michael vick air i think it a lot of those fans went to the wayside because mike vick went out bobby petrino went out the high flying off  brady's first full year as a starting quarterback taking over from drew bledsoe got hurt that he's a and i mean the pages of never won a super bowl to that point when they made that miraculous run that year i mean i know how much fun we were having just you know following it all and then you know obviously you know pulling off one of the greatest upset the super bowl history which since got popped when that happened in reversal the other direction of years later but but still law yeah i mean you can understand you know you're talking about the excitement in the momentum that sort of building down in atlanta and what you're i guess hoping for ultimately is that this is the first of many years of you know somewhat sustained success where you guys are going to be competing for championships you know almost every year which we haven't seen much of in this era outside  of the patriots of the last decade and i right and you know you're actually right and our general manager i think he was under under pressure this year to get a good team a playoff team and a good feet run in the trough as we  i haven't seen a lot of falcons games but while watching the game last sunday watching this dismantled green bay was awsome yeah i mean i i personally i thought they had a pretty good chance to be green bay but the way they did and in such a commanding fast and i didn't quite expect that but yeah the you guys should be proud of the way the team has come on and you know a lot kind of like in trying to think of another year or you those pictures and when the super bowl that your you guys might be like our team in twenty years ago when we went to the super bowl loss to green bay you guys got to host the if the championship game was the number one seed got bumped off the week before that's but that's what happened that's we we you know at the time the three of us here had season tickets to the patriots and we got to go see the a f c championship because you know because denver got knocked off the week before and they would have been hosting and like in this case dallas got knocked off by green bay and they would have hosted you guys instead you get to have one final game at the georgia dome and you know you pack the house and you know it gets loud in there and yeah you get sued you get to have a mother when they're really quick here as we kind of wrap things up one of the traditions on our show is we usually ask everyone who calls in to give us a score of the game now if you get the score correct you would get a chance to come up here and host although it sounds like given that you hold your own shows down the atlanta maybe the incentive for you to want to come up and host one of our shows maybe isn't quite there the way it might be for just some average call or call it from their home but plus we pay for the expenses for you to get up today thank you maybe next time we get a red sox braves world series we give a call you know we could have just broken down got some good al horford talk right there you know yeah well lots of as we wind things down we are here on our our very first show back in one thousand nine hundred four and which was a super bowl preview in itself so this is our twenty fourth super bowl preview and they've just been getting better and better as we said you know we talked about the first one evolve in the patriots which was exactly twenty years ago and the fun in plays for the patriots over the last two seasons pictures are six and zero and as far as i know hopefully he gets through the next ten days of practice with the only uses they were honorary captain because we've already used the proof he for the for this one  in a close one low scoring as well what you guys want to offer your scores here i know i wrote them down but i would let them go ahead you want me to give you joe underscore where you took the pats in a blowout thirty eight seventeen so similar to the houston and the pittsburgh playoff games i mean i think once again do think it's going to be a little better than what we saw of the steelers on nonexistent defense plus i also think you know a lana's coaching staff might actually make adjustments during the course of the game to prevent the game from being a blowout what about you dave you want to  i think i don't think this atlanta teams a fluke and i mean they've got the all they've got the office looks capable of keeping up with the patriots off and certainly i think a big differentiating factor becomes the fact you just made made mention of it there's the fact that belichick brady as a team have been to the super bowl so many times to get this you know the falcons players got to be losing their mind right now with excitement these guys can sit there and ring the team in bring him down to reality and say this a leg up in a lot and i think the other thing give him a leg up to i mean it's not just the excitement of the game and go and in that i mean it's the things that we know that they don't the things that we know about get ready for travel you know he had to get tickets  hotels for your wife and children you know media day just on all the things that again not that it's second nature to us but would be in the employ of the it's a twenty three guys that won the super bowl  stuff because they've done it so many times it's like you know here it is no problem just follow that just follow the directions were all set that were at the make the directions they know the directions yeah you know it and that at the end of the day will can be the differentiating factor of anybody that's going to the playoffs you know i mean you get martellus bennett who commented the other day about the fact that i've never been on a team that even considered going to the super bowl let alone get in through the playoffs  multiply that by an entire team and you've got the atlanta falcons whereas this you've got a few key players that are probably going to be excited beyond their their their wildest dreams the rest room like ok we've been there we've done this we know what we're doing it's business time you know yeah these are professional athletes they get paid a ton of money to play a game we expect them to just go out and perform but all of these kids when they were children they played in their backyard playing in the super bowl that was there that was what they were doing in the backyard now they're playing in the super bowl so it's a matter of going through in getting on like how he just said all the t s crossed and the i dotted i think we have the upper hand in that one yeah and i think that'll make a big difference between you know the winning and losing in this point because i mean it's like the first patriots super bowl i'm against the because we get the most oh yeah you know men versus the is the late pretext of that halftime of that game i remember yeah but you know it's just so much it goes on behind the scenes and said the buzz of media day you know we have thousands of reporters standing in front of you asking you questions circumstance and not the game but the fact that there's now thirty minutes in between the two halfs that is huge which everybody says oh it's a great break if you are that's played sports in any kind of organizational level the longer you sit the excitement about being here a free agent after the year a boy i hope that's enough incentive that he'll want to it want to come back next year and i'll keep my fingers crossed that both him and robert could stay healthy so we could finally see those two titans playing together for an extended period of time  just a couple of games right right exactly and then how you brought up the number you brought the twenty three patriots that were on the team two years ago and yes granted those guys have experience but i find it kind of amazing in a way that half the team is turned over in the two years since they work you know they were  you move them around to whatever's going to fit best within that puzzle in he could change forty people on that team but remember they did go ten years without winning the super bowl two they'd only only been one couple in that right time so this you know this kind of back and you know kind of the bookends to the dynasty here everyone's talking about it still you know and then the fact that you know as we were talking about earlier how this defense is just sort of caught fire it is just them playing so well i mean i think you know and  i've been saying all along how as we've been watching games together is that you know the tackling i mean it's just that you know what this defense is doing out there working as much of early the season and maybe last year as well they made their to their just wrap it up tacklers now they will tear you ok throw a seven yard pass we're go stuff i did money it was not with us for two years i think we're going to i know they have been the happy nascar graphic back there and we're going to i think we're going to drag it out just for this occasion but you although i just i was going to give you two minutes in our ninety minute show we're running low  series coming this year with the whole race format is changing from you know the traditional say you know the daytona five hundred five hundred laps consecutively we're broken up into three segments with points awarded within each segment and i've been here and that's kind of a trendy pick out there yeah i've never i would never have picked junior ever before and he's never won a right he's never won i think his life he's gotten to that point in life that his years are numbered usually is anyway i'm a someone someone's got to do it all right i want to thank our hardworking crew thank all of you we will see you next month in the meantime go patriots enjoy the super bowl thanks for watching
