thousand and eighteen we're going to hear live for the next sixty minutes as we've been many times taking your phone calls at six one seven four eight four two four four three really haven't been taking your phone calls all these many years because feels like it's been years since we've had a phone call but that's ok anyway we the right side of the grass is pretty important at my age it isn't you're not you're not that old i know i make fun of you for being old but you know you're not you're not that old it's not the age it's the mileage till that ok yes that you're right it to having a good night yeah out of the certainly plenty to talk about but we're going to actually start with some local news here in belmont because i know people watching us a belmont love to hear about the local high school sports and of course jeremy missouri brings you a lot of coverage  of sports t v i've been helping him out on the football games this fall and lo and behold belmont football one of the big stories right now marauders are to win over the first time in at least ten years it's been quite a while since they've gotten off to this kind of a start and  i think they're out there right on the edge of the top twenty five in the boston herald poll which is a very impressive they won it's also this this year is the two thousand and thirteen marotta revenge tour because last year they started the season losing at milton and flyers from the basic conference or chi joe so scoring a touchdown there and then here is what the coach q mentioned is the first special teams touchdown scored by the marauders in his five years coaching at belmont it's been only five years since we've seen one of these that senior manual clark going eighty yards for the touchdown is the first career touchdown is well known whose but guess what the emanuel clark show was just warming up because forty six seconds later the quarterback back to pass and there's a clock with the interception takes it in twenty eight yards and marauders actually came back we're ahead than they fell behind again at halftime and there is the winning score as it would turn out the only points of the second half were joseph running in the end of up the day well for the season were tied joseph has averaged six and a half yards a carry on for two hundred twenty eight yards and three rushing touchdowns and killing o'connell another senior and a coke captain has also run for over two hundred yards and also averaging about six yards a carry so i think that this was i think this is killing o'connell with a fourth down stop which actually set up a last chance for framingham to win the game and we're actually going to see the last defensive play because in each of these two games the broader scored the first touchdown they fell behind at half time and then came back took the lead and then had to play defense make a last stand on fourth down inside the goal your goal to go situations which was the fourth and goal here for framingham i feel like i'm doing play by play again i was actually out in framingham last last week to let the callers just please i know we probably should of but well so here's the last chance and you can see it's broken up on the fourth down attempt and that was number twenty three emmanuel clark again he really ended it was fitting that he made the last play and as he said rodgers won that twenty seven twenty four to win start a lot of fun and you know as i said they've got two great running back who are both averaging over six sharks a carry they've already both run for over two hundred yards in the first two games lot they haven't done much carrying the ball but they've been blocking very well for for o'connell and joseph to seniors rodgers also one of the other reasons are two and start the year plus three in the turnover ratio they've had five takeaways three of them on they just lost their first game of the year they have won their first four all by shot out there their goal is tomas griffin he was actually a boston globe player of the week this week so congrats to him girls soccer a three one in one with their longtime head coach paul graham in his twenty sixth season i remember paul graham almost in his first season because he and i actually kind of started around here about the same time he started coaching girls soccer and they've been very successful for many years and you know actually we've had coach graham in here a couple state champion radio watertown i don't i think they just they should just call it the watertown championship everyone else is playing for second that that that that program is just that is a jump raising on they can keep filling that year after year after year i mean this is never a dry spell i think i'm going to be part of that broadcast it looks like so will be away games i would hope get you home games fully hopefully but v h s sports t v is where you want to check that out that's channels eight twenty eight if you're watching in belmont so you can also of course check any of the games out on demand jeremy missouri does a great job so big shout out to jeremy he added that those football highlights and he's that he's the one striking out all these games so good for him and doing some bonus road coverage from football  damn well yeah absolutely could as well and then the other part of it is you're talking about friday night lights so you've got a kickoff usually around like six six thirty seven o'clock on a friday you've got to you've got to go through you're going out on the road so your ultimately for most of these games got to get on some coverage we will move on now from belmont football to of course our new england patriots and there's a whole lot going on in the news geez where do we want to start so we want to start with the the newest acquisition or do we want to actually start about the book that  apparently excerpts of a new book bill bell a check are out and there's the book in o'connor he is the author of said book and apparently i think and a lot of the rise to book yes we should point out this is an unauthorized there's been a few biographies written about bill bell a check in the past with his authorization this would be an unauthorized one so yeah that's kind of a kind of interesting what do you guys i mean i don't know if there's been th years you know sometimes you just rub each other the wrong way yeah but you know the amazing thing is i mean you talk about you know you and cath you've been married for over thirty years and congratulations to that i mean that as much thirty years really wonderful yerkes three wonderful years larry bird thirty three larry bird wonderful years there but so but you know my point is not a lot of marriages last that long as we know and in a sports marriage i mean those are even infinitely shorter typically in the fact that the only time that it's been publicly but i'm sure it's been going on for us i mean sure it's going on and on for several years i mean no two people can be together that long that close and that scrutiny of the press and that much pressure to win a not have issues you know i mean i'm sure there was issues about you know brady feel that bella check screwed him out of another super bowl by not playing but look because bella check was manic but look i mean things like that i mean it's the little things like that that you don't hear about but i mean some of it's static moments because there's more people that have been there and gone away from it and they tend to maybe talk a little bit right you know well that well that's the thing is that's why bilchik never want to talk about anything right i mean this is why because there's a lot going on there's you know a lot of crap going on that you know can not divide a team but distract them for two three games instead of going three and we go one and two and you know sort of host and the times on the show but it is the thirtieth anniversary of the movie cocktail the one of the famous lines you know that movie is everything ends badly or else it wouldn't end and that's pretty much that's definitely true and when it comes to sports because nothing really ends gracefully but he's basing this lasted this long it really has but yeah i mean i you know there's just so there's a lot of what you're right i mean you know all of the stuff that some of the excerpts from the book that got released today i mean you know part of it goes all the way back to days at wesleyan university in connecticut where you know he's talking about you know how he was helping his is lacrosse team mates doctor the you know you know it's kind of goes to this whole bella check will look for whatever and sheet here and go to the you know help push that envelope as far as he can push it which you know kind of ties into the holes and you know maybe to a lesser degree the fleet but you know anything that no one else is doing and you know that's the thing he was doing with the with the you know i guess with the lacrosse you know the actual you know for those  what you can stretch out but then if someone if you were challenged by an official you could quickly like just tie it back up and they'd never you know these are the kinds of excerpts that are in the book it's no different than a hockey player there's at least where i have a half an inch  average person like oh yeah you know why but anybody who really watches a certain sport in this case football you already know what happens and it happens in every sport yeah i mean all the time you know it's not i mean if you've heard about that with the cross for a long time with and you know again it's error cutting corners you know it's just some of it isn't at the time until it's brought out to someone's attention then they make a new rule you know like all the rules they make everyone the patriots do something and they have to make a rule because it's not against the rules you know the way they were covering the backs the formations that they've run you know it's just ok well now that that doesn't seem like it should be right so let's make a rule making it illegal all see they cheated that was illegal it wasn't at the illegal to use steroids not at that point no you know so you know they do you call that cheating or do you call that finding an edge you know do you adapt and overcome you know did edelman to get spun you need to get suspended and we still don't know what he did but it wasn't on the list so why was that illegal and how about i think actually the substance he got tested for positive was on that list which is why they spend a lot of originally they could they weren't even sure what it was but they knew  these new substances because they just like aids just whatever they get the agreement so then like well well he had it so that's why they got him and yeah i mean they did you know that i mean you know just looking at some other excerpt here which i know you know i don't want to get too far into this because i know like the the folks who run you know they're on sports radio twenty hours a week doing shows just love the stuff they eat it up and they will believe make you believe that everything you know bla check is pure evil but anyway so it says  a number this is i guess a quote from the book a number of patriot coaches the pellet check system elevated brady not the other way around the general feeling among staff members said one assistant was of the patriots way would make super bowl quarterbacks out of all thirty two starters but it says if you gave have played great the patriots system yet when they go somewhere else they don't so what does that mean the fact that brady can go down first game of the year against kansas city and they get cassel in there and they still would eleven games all right and they had to just change everything but it was coaching it was systems young players make it make it and some plays a better in the system than others but i don't find anything wrong with that they're probably right there's probably a lot of guys if you put them in the right system with the ri well when he was here when the real world nothing just goes on and on and on so is it the coaching is that the place is that the system i think what whoever said that was trying to  make it the coaching staff or says the player like to validate their existence because if it's the player then the take well if you're the quarterbacks coach or you're the consequent it's like well mostly good if i have him it makes you look bad so i think that just saying it like not even like i might have said that just out of whatever large or small or medium ego i have like i'm important like it's like i'm trying to build me up is to me that's what it was because what i really think that person was trying to say was we have a great system here and if somebody is really good they'll shine the accel it but that's not that's not what they said and that's not what anybody's going to do it and but i think that's what he meant was like we were as if other teams they could have been he could have been saying the opposite to for other teams meaning hey there's a lot of teams out there that just don't prepare like we do don't have a system like we do good like we do so a guy like brady could go to it a crappy chicago team or chicago never have a good quarterback never in my brady had gone to chicago what would he be so i think that that's what they were trying to say but it came out as like you know like i will keep it in my head was they need us they need me our system and all that came out in the way we've done it i've done it this works bone this is what it is we you need before you need brady before you need the quarterback because i guess he can talk if you want to talk systems i guess you could say coaches too because how many coaches as they see off the defense but it will again you can't you can't make chicken soup out of chicken feathers if you want to play is what system you have and but you know he's got to get a gag not going to fall to him on people he didn't he was given you know when w plus there's like you start with ninety five and you're going to go through the rubble of ninety five it's hard some basketball that is fifteen you really really only suit twelve and you only play nine like ok we can figure out like in the that and didn't do anything in cleveland so hard because you got a cycle out you know the players you know it happens all the time on defense if you want to three four and someone that runs a four three new take over  to me the grace example was in buffalo when schwartz was there they ran a four three in the great defense rex ryan comes in and says well i'm going to run my defense right which is what he's going to do and he runs a three four and they were horrible for the first two years ryan was  why would you do that you had a great defense and i did changing addresses and other teams a lot of teams make a mistake and they might have done the patricia patricia might be a good coach he might not but he probably won't be good in in detroit but if you are a good coach you're going to go in play the defense that the team that you have you're going to make adjustments who runs this is what you have and that's what makes a good coach as opposed to hard it's difficult to do you do see the laminated sheets that they have and those are just the plays they going to use in that game it's generally you know what i hear today it's three phonebooks the patriots offense of plays or three that yeah i mean you even here you know again you referenced felt michael felger earlier i mean i hear him reference it every week how the rest of the league is so bad like you know he says after belichick was the next good coach of the league he can't think of one and there are some but nothing nobody on the level of bell in the gap between belichick and all the other coaches seems to be growing in this field in every sport if not ninety five it's one hundred percent of the time new g m comes in they get rid of all their coaching staff and they bring in a new but what happens sometimes is the g m gets fired the coach stays they keep him on for a year or two and it's like well that ain't working out so the g m new tires him brings in the new coach now the g m is up for a new contract right but he's only got his his coach for two years so they sign him to four more years and then they realize after three years that he's really not that good so then he gets a second real coach that he wants and that one two g m s three coaches and now this guy obviously probably can't pick and the the n f l g m jennifer loners are there already all the all the owners of all sports are generally rich but the in the n f l it's there even the rich or the richest of the rich they've been making money hand over for fifteen twenty years and they won't they don't want to pay to coaches that want so they don't fire so it's always this like it's not confusion but this modeled coaching which again is g m s coach and you know and in detroit's an example this is the second coach they've had and the first coach they hired was did the sock puppet the album yet it didn't speak they were nine and seven for two or three years and they  here your guys thoughts so far on the first two games particularly maybe the most recent one every time the patriots lose a game like this you know most of the local media runners ready to pounce even the national media will say all of the side of the sending blah blah blah i mean is this just another one of those losses where there's nothing to really worry about because long term they're going to be fine i mean you know what we should i mean how you and i watched the game it was kind of i mean jacksonville looks like they're for real their defenses good they almost obviously beat the patriots last year in the a f c championship game and down there playing in like you know record setting heat at least for the brady bill a check here is like nine what over one hundred with the heat index you know between that in the lack of receivers and you know that great jaguar defense i mean well i mean they did they did it last year too so i mean they should become it any surprise they are a good team but what concerns me and i know we talked about the first game against the texans they had a pass rush that i've never seen before with the patriots i mean they w guess you know i think before the season if you said to shawn watson blake bortles who's the more mobile quarterback who's more likely to stay in the pocket you probably would have said but with the shot of watson coming back to reconstructive knee surgery he's the one to kind of stayed in the pocket and allowed the patriots to just i think it was a lot easier for them to get pressure on watson because they knew he wasn't up right out like mobile quarterbacks did actually bortles and it up to quite a bit of running which surprised me and i think that you know made the patriots pass rush look a little well let's just say that thirty second they can't be good if they're thought to be thirty second ok so was it their offensive line or was it i rush i'll go with their poor offensive line we're going to if the things keep peyton out the way they do right here i mean his role being beat for a touchdown by the same receiver that ball that was a little more wasn't a one he had no difference in the super bowl yeah well there you go i mean although you know again part of the reason i think the patriots thought about them but was expendable or we fell a check it was that he's he likes eric rolls the body ready to step into that why that second starting quarterback slide why well that's your that's your question right i mean he is not your right in a game like this he got exposed and you don't think of jacksonville passing off and says this like you know up to the last three games he's played to get exposed super bowl in this game yep and else yeah and houston really had one great receiver that they double teamed the whole time full or didn't play you know there was no other receiver that we don't worry about if they don't have athletes on defensive linebackers can't get to the sideline and that's what's been happening a lot the last year and so far this year you throw tied you can throw to anybody on the outside in the linebackers won't get to them quickly because they're slow yes so let's talk about the elephant in the room you want to talk about the you want to talk about the latest acquisition here yes ok so to help the off chance and my first thought when i see this photo of five years ago of josh gordon is i think he's going to wear a different uniform number here reminds me i have to go work out  about this before we saw the celtics do it with bird mchale and parish and then they ended up in the tank for so long because they stayed with it because they didn't want that they didn't want the fiends to keep madden the owner to get mad there and then they tanked and i'm not assuming i'm telling you it's going to take it took them almost five years to get to rob lowe to the point where they felt comfortable where he could be so if they got someone in this year's draft oh yeah he didn't make the team he said on the practice squad and oddly enough josh gordon's new number understand all the hate meaning in his career in baltimore or in the up in indianapolis no none of them do i know because the owners are someone smart enough to say i know he wants to play but he just can't play at the level they have  thousand and seven year i think he got hurt didn't play very much and he went back and i think near the end of the year they had him field a couple of punts just to say he was part of the team that was you know obviously that was the you know sixteen zero regular season but it's here belichick wanted to cut him loose kraft and since the brown made an exception to the coach's one year too early rather than one year too late roll and bell a check relented of the one thousand regular season of postseason games the patients played that season brownfields the action in eighteen ok so he was in there for one game probably thinking about a field of one point then or something but  k so there you go i mean and you know what which way brown and the effect of that of sticking with him not is noticeable specially during the season when they didn't lose to the super bowl you know the effect here is will is a lot greater because you're talking about again like stafford if he played in the seventy's would have been horrible like stafford's ok now and he doesn't get touched in you know it's a passing league it's easy to pass i think it's just easier to pass if you look at every if you went on sunday when you guys watching the game just pull out just pull out all the the teams and tell me when they come in the next time we're together and say the word of the bad quarterback situations in the l there really aren't any because it's easy to throw in the n f l it's easy to be a good quarterback protected and correctly so on the battle why not keep the greatest quarterback in the history of quarterback and who's going to be quarters for the patriots the reason last year that he didn't make it through the four games that brady was suspended was because when he got sacked he landed right on his throwing shoulder i'm telling you if that was brady he would have three informed him it was into that place at that moment in time brady would have found a way to not land on the shoulder just like you find a way for those two guys to go to brooklyn and stay with the celtics they were yeah didn't work out did it well we didn't but the celtics were done the so because they were smart they got rid of the old guys when they still but when they were still good but after decent what brady  d he could that's that's where the patriots are going to offer him a contract they're not going to franchise and cost him too much money we're talking about well yeah because  their players what i mean but this was going to be the issue this year if they had franchised droplet he would have been getting twenty five million for this year and brady would still be making about fifteen c be perfectly spending forty million dollars on the quarterback position which would leave you a lot left to distribute amongst the rest of the roster i mean that if they wouldn't have kept him that would've been swell yes you're right that is stupid to spend you know to have that much of your cap devoted to one position from everything you hear what it bella check want to do oh yeah belichick wanted i think he wanted to go and braced on that based on in bill we trust you saying that he was making a mistake this time the decision he wanted looking for would you say it was a mistake that the he will but if he does any place to the capabilities that we think he might i mean he's somebody who could help them when they help them win a super bowl and brady gets a super bowl now you know the argument would be made maybe if here in that situation maybe which also means somehow he's going to avoid having a serious injury you know until that time but you know again week to week in the n f l you never know what's going to happen as we all know everyone's you know one big hit away from from their career ending in brady to a great job with the exception of the  whole life is here and like his whole life is here he can make thirty million dollars a year like he's got a contract like he's been doing this for eighteen years like why would he want to eighty million why would well  cap so high that it's not it's not how other teams do it most of them do don't that's why they stick how do they fit all that money to one guy and they can't be anybody else and that's why they're in the bottom third of the league you have a heart as hard as pittsburgh do it right so he's that that's not a good example but they paid him pittsburgh is good every year and you can explain why they get every year yet they pay lots of bird a lot of money k y  we got a new contract he wasn't guys play quarterback you know it is nights like this i wish we had a two hour show because we could keep going but i want to get to the red sox good cuz they have one hundred games for the just the fourth time in franchise history they are right  but instead let's go on to the red sox who again are closing in on the all time franchise record one hundred five wins set in one thousand twelve the reason i bring up this photo is because this year's team is more and more starting when he calls the two thousand and three thanks for the update how it for one yankees and so wait another night to clinch this to use your team reminds me an awful lot of the two thousand and three team because like the two thousand and three team this team can hit the ball well they have some very solid starting pitching but if they have a weakness it is the bullpen grady little stuck with pedro martinez we all know how that season did with aaron bleeping boone is now being a key manager oddly enough but we're going to play a little game right now and i've been asked by director julie to just keep the photos up here while we play a game called who do you trust for your bullpen i mean i ask i want to put up a photo of a guy and  i'm not putting up craig kimber we already know he's the one thing guy but who are the guys who are going to help set up kimbrel come the postseason who do you trust in these playoffs upcoming years contested number one nathan of all the just pitched six shutout innings against the yankees last night has pitched pretty well against the yankees the season can fire the ball like into the high ninety's you like him as maybe a seventh or eighth inning guy to help set up camera would you so you give him a shot yes i would definitely give him a shot semi trust him injury is but we haven't seen him pitch much lately we all know alex cora was definitely confident using him in the early part of the year to pitch the that he pitched well but no so you wouldn't want him to be a part of your important and getting and that's we saw him there in april he pitched really well first couple months the year but then he kind of fell off a cliff yes i would you want him in your plan to get him the only way i would have him in the bullpen is if before the game started he could go be a bouncer at some bar get into a fight ok you know like get into a fight to get the yeah and then then go suit up and get in the bullpen so he's got that that them in vigor and adrenaline going that's the only way i'd want to get out there other than that
