WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>It's nice side with Dan Rays Radio.

2
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:10.279
<v Speaker 2>All right, well, guy Manilla used to do a program

3
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.039
<v Speaker 2>called calling All Sports. This is not calling all sports.

4
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.399
<v Speaker 2>But we are going to talk football. We're gonna talk Patriots,

5
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 2>are gonna talk specifically the dismissal today of Patriots head

6
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:25.480
<v Speaker 2>coach Gerard Mayo. I must tell you that I was

7
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>very disappointed today when I saw that. I know that

8
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>all of the smart people, the people in the stands

9
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:32.920
<v Speaker 2>are yelling and screaming fire Mayo and all of that,

10
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's really interesting. This guy was given one

11
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.679
<v Speaker 2>year of a team that was the shell of what

12
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.079
<v Speaker 2>it used to be when it had Brady and Edelman,

13
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Edelman and Gronkowski and all of those great players, the

14
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 2>mccordy's and all those guys were gone, gone, and he

15
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 2>inherited this team that Belichick had had a bad season

16
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:08.480
<v Speaker 2>last year four and thirteen, and they had another bad season,

17
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:15.680
<v Speaker 2>but but they they had a quarterback who took a

18
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.359
<v Speaker 2>year to develop, Drake may and they maybe now have

19
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>two quarterbacks with Joe Milton, and I just I'd like

20
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.439
<v Speaker 2>to throw it open. I have some comments which might

21
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:33.480
<v Speaker 2>cause some concerns on my upset. Some of you but

22
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.799
<v Speaker 2>let's let's have at it. Okay, Bob Kraft, who's been

23
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 2>running this team for a long time. I watched him

24
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 2>tonight on Channel five newscast and they u some excerpts.

25
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 2>I missed his news conference today at one o'clock and

26
00:01:53.120 --> 00:02:01.879
<v Speaker 2>the Craft, to his credit, manned up and basically said

27
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 2>that he did not take any joy in getting rid

28
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 2>of Gerrod Mayo. So let's first of all, hear from

29
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.199
<v Speaker 2>Bob Kraft. We have not heard from Mayo yet. We

30
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.800
<v Speaker 2>heard from Mayo after the game yesterday, and it looked

31
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>to me when I watched the post game on TV

32
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight with Steve, with our pal Steve Burton and

33
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Christian Fourier and Scott Zolac, it looked to me as

34
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 2>if he knew, he knew that his time was up,

35
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 2>and he did not want to engage. And I don't

36
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>know when we'll hear from Mayo. I'm sure he is

37
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>going to keep quiet, keep a little profile for at

38
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 2>least a few days, but at some point someone will

39
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 2>get and probably Steve Burton, who is well connected with

40
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>of all the sports reporters in town, the most well

41
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.479
<v Speaker 2>connected sports reporter I think, and certainly the one with

42
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>the longest tenure going going back to his to his

43
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.919
<v Speaker 2>dad who played for the Patriots, or the great Ron Burton. Anyway,

44
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 2>Bob Kraft today, let's hear a little bit from Bob

45
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Kraft talking about this, this decision that Craft said he

46
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.479
<v Speaker 2>went back and forth on. This is cut thirty three.

47
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Bob Kraft today on the firing, the dismissal of Roid Mayo.

48
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't like losing. I don't like losing the way

49
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:31.840
<v Speaker 3>we lost, and just things we're not developing the way

50
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 3>we would have liked, and it was time to move on.

51
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Kind of cold, but that's okay. He Craft, to some

52
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 2>extent took responsibility for Jirod Mayo's four and thirteen record,

53
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>basically say saying in effect that that Craft had put

54
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Mayo kind of in a no win situation. Cut number

55
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>thirty four up.

56
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 3>It was very hard because the personal relationship I feel

57
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 3>for Girod and and the human being he is, and

58
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 3>I felt guilty I put him in that position.

59
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 4>But we're moving on.

60
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:24.600
<v Speaker 2>We're moving on. That's what That's what they always say.

61
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 2>We're going in a different direction.

62
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:27.240
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

63
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 2>He You know, Bob Craft loves to fashion himself, which

64
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 2>is true. That first and foremost before owning the team,

65
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.079
<v Speaker 2>he was a fan of the team, and he had

66
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>season tickets in the old Foxborough Stadium, Schaefer Stadium, Sullivan Stadium,

67
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 2>with so many different incarnations. And I'm sure that Bob

68
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Kraft went to Patriots games at Fenway Park and Harvard Stadium,

69
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 2>and bu Field, Dickerson Field, and Alumni Stadium in Boston College.

70
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Those are all the different places the Patriots had played

71
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:10.160
<v Speaker 2>over the years. And remember there was one point when

72
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Craft had thought about moving the team to Hartford, Connecticut.

73
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.839
<v Speaker 2>That was little bit of I think he admitted later

74
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 2>on was a bluff, but he emphasized that he's a

75
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:24.959
<v Speaker 2>fan and he somehow wants to get a coach that

76
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.079
<v Speaker 2>will get the Patriots back to the playoffs and championships.

77
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:33.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to tell you that in the National Football League,

78
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 2>which prides itself on parody, you've heard the phrase on

79
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.199
<v Speaker 2>any given Sunday. I mean, yesterday, Kansas City was blown

80
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>out in their game seventeen. Obviously they sat all of

81
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:50.519
<v Speaker 2>their regulars. Kansas City will be I assume playing against

82
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Buffalo for the AFC Championship game at some point for

83
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.560
<v Speaker 2>the right to go to the super Bowl. But Craft

84
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:02.040
<v Speaker 2>again talking about getting back, it's not that easy, and

85
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>he should know that it's going to take a while.

86
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>It'll take it'll take a few years because when a

87
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>team like the Patriots, which were at the top of

88
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 2>their game for twenty years, once all those players aged

89
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.800
<v Speaker 2>aged out and coach Belichick went away, they got to

90
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.000
<v Speaker 2>retool the entire organization. And any Patriot fan who thinks

91
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.120
<v Speaker 2>they're going to be back in the super Bowl in

92
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>the next couple of years, I think you're dreaming. I

93
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.240
<v Speaker 2>think you're dreaming. But this is Bob Kraft cut thirty

94
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.279
<v Speaker 2>five are up in the end.

95
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:43.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm a fan of this team first, and now I

96
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 4>have to go out and find a coach who can

97
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:53.120
<v Speaker 4>guess get us back to the playoffs and hopefully championships.

98
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, it would appear that the odds on favorite is

99
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Mike Frabel, who might be a great coach for the Patriots.

100
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Patriots Hall of famer, who has coaching experience at Tennessee

101
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:11.639
<v Speaker 2>spent this year, I believe, as a consultant with the

102
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Browns and interviewed with the Jets last week. If they're

103
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.759
<v Speaker 2>going to make a move Unvaibel, if he's the guy.

104
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.519
<v Speaker 2>They need to let him know of their interest. Last

105
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 2>SoundBite from Bob Craft on the difficulty of firing Girod Mayo. Again,

106
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.839
<v Speaker 2>I suspect that there was a personal relationship. I'm sure

107
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:39.920
<v Speaker 2>you read Dean Shaughnessy's piece about the relationship. Not a

108
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.720
<v Speaker 2>father son relationship, but a pretty good relationship between the

109
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.560
<v Speaker 2>former player and the owner of the team, which was

110
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 2>I guess in many ways crafted pardon the pun, there

111
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 2>on a trip that they took to Israel several years ago.

112
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.600
<v Speaker 2>This is cutt number thirty six on the difficulty of

113
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 2>firing Gerrod Mayo.

114
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 3>Was one of the more difficult things I've had to

115
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:08.759
<v Speaker 3>do in my life because I had such affection for him,

116
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 3>and I believe in him, and I really do believe

117
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.720
<v Speaker 3>he will go on and as he gets more experience,

118
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:20.480
<v Speaker 3>it will be successful.

119
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Wellly slipped there is. I had so much affection for him,

120
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I would have hoped you would have been present tense

121
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:32.399
<v Speaker 2>have much much affection for him. Okay, I want to

122
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>talk about the Patriots fans. Look, if you're a fan

123
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.639
<v Speaker 2>of a team, you can say whatever you want. But

124
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:45.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that a lot of football fans feel almost

125
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:51.159
<v Speaker 2>too invested and you know, to be screaming for Mayo's

126
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 2>head because the team is losing. Did they not realize

127
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.559
<v Speaker 2>that every game in the NFL and every game in

128
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.200
<v Speaker 2>professional sports team and a losing team, And maybe they've

129
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:08.120
<v Speaker 2>gotten spoiled by twenty great years and six champions you know,

130
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.960
<v Speaker 2>six Super Bowl championships. If you're a Patriots fan, I'd

131
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.000
<v Speaker 2>love to know what you think. And if you want

132
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.559
<v Speaker 2>to give me a name out of the blue of

133
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.399
<v Speaker 2>someone who you think would be a great coach, that's

134
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>fine too. Again, this is not calling all sports, and

135
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:25.240
<v Speaker 2>we normally don't talk a lot about sports hero at nightside,

136
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.360
<v Speaker 2>although I love sports, and I did go to one

137
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Patriots game this year, game that they played against the Dolphins,

138
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:36.720
<v Speaker 2>and they lost, and both teams looked horrible that day.

139
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 2>But just let's open up the phone lines, see what

140
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.159
<v Speaker 2>you want to say. What do you think? Does it

141
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 2>really make a big difference in your life one who

142
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.759
<v Speaker 2>the coach of the Patriots is and does it make

143
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:54.919
<v Speaker 2>a big difference in your life as to whether or

144
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.960
<v Speaker 2>not the Patriots are in the playoffs or for that matter,

145
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.080
<v Speaker 2>whether they go to the Super I've had the good

146
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.600
<v Speaker 2>fortune of going to two Patriot Super Bowls one in

147
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Houston and one in Indianapolis. One Day one when they

148
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:11.159
<v Speaker 2>beat the Rams, and one day lost when they lost

149
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.679
<v Speaker 2>to the Giants in Indianapolis. But I'm not a season

150
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 2>ticket holder. I ye know, I loved I love to

151
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.799
<v Speaker 2>watch the games on TV. You may know more about

152
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 2>him than I do, so I'd love to hear from you.

153
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.799
<v Speaker 2>Six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one

154
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.039
<v Speaker 2>seven nine three one ten thirty. And if you are,

155
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, a casual fan, what did girod Mayo get

156
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:37.320
<v Speaker 2>a fair shake? I don't think he did. And I

157
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.960
<v Speaker 2>wish that Bob Kraft had stood up and said, look,

158
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.960
<v Speaker 2>he's my guy. I picked him a year ago and

159
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to stick with him. And it's going to

160
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.320
<v Speaker 2>be a couple of tough years here, but we'll build

161
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.320
<v Speaker 2>this team back. That's what I wish had happened. But

162
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I suspect most of you would disagree with that, So

163
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:54.720
<v Speaker 2>feel free to bring it on. We could have a

164
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.799
<v Speaker 2>fun conversation. Six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty

<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios. I'm WBZ News Radio.

171
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.240
<v Speaker 2>All right. Not often do we deep dive into sports.

172
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Let me go to Rachel in Quincy. See what Rachel

173
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:26.840
<v Speaker 2>thinks about the way in which Gerard Mayo's one year

174
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:29.480
<v Speaker 2>as head coach of other Patriots came to an end. Hi, Rachel,

175
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:29.919
<v Speaker 2>how are you?

176
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:32.679
<v Speaker 5>I'm doing okay?

177
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:34.320
<v Speaker 6>Thanks San? How are you?

178
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:40.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing fine? So what'd you think about the dismissal?

179
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's no other firing of Girard Mayo. I'm

180
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:44.279
<v Speaker 2>not happy about it.

181
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:52.440
<v Speaker 5>No, I am not either, And so I don't know

182
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.279
<v Speaker 5>if I'm calling what is being called as devil advocate

183
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:02.200
<v Speaker 5>or whatever. But the whole thing is, so we get

184
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:07.440
<v Speaker 5>these amazing football players.

185
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:11.960
<v Speaker 6>That come in and yes, you're welcome into the Patriot life,

186
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.480
<v Speaker 6>but part of that life is just not on the field.

187
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.840
<v Speaker 7>It is a whole.

188
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.360
<v Speaker 5>There's so many kids that look up to you, and

189
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:27.399
<v Speaker 5>we've had issues. We know yep, you get pulled over

190
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 5>drinking and driving, You do this, you do that.

191
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:32.159
<v Speaker 7>That's part of.

192
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:38.799
<v Speaker 5>What I don't Belichick did do Instill is like, this

193
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.840
<v Speaker 5>is what you're gonna do and you're not gonna do this,

194
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.600
<v Speaker 5>You're not gonna do that, You're not gonna do Just

195
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:47.480
<v Speaker 5>do your job.

196
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.679
<v Speaker 6>And understand that there is young kids looking up to

197
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:57.120
<v Speaker 6>you to be educated, not going out playing.

198
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.159
<v Speaker 5>And I don't know, you know, the whole thing about me,

199
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:03.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

200
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:05.120
<v Speaker 8>It's tough.

201
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:06.960
<v Speaker 6>It's tough love.

202
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:10.159
<v Speaker 5>It's like, yep, you're doing this and you're doing that,

203
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:12.720
<v Speaker 5>and this is what you're going to do.

204
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:14.600
<v Speaker 4>Well.

205
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:16.519
<v Speaker 2>The Patriots did have a couple of guys who were

206
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 2>in into trouble this year with their behavior off the field.

207
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.559
<v Speaker 2>No need for us to dwell on that, but clearly,

208
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.240
<v Speaker 2>if you're playing for the New England Patriots, at least

209
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.440
<v Speaker 2>when Belichick was there, there might have been some of

210
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.000
<v Speaker 2>that occasionally, but I think there was a little bit

211
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.279
<v Speaker 2>more of it this year and it impacted. It impacted

212
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.399
<v Speaker 2>the team because at least one player was suspended for

213
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.240
<v Speaker 2>several weeks and I think he's he's done for the year.

214
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.320
<v Speaker 2>There was another player who was stopped at Logan Airport,

215
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:55.759
<v Speaker 2>had a gun in his possession trying to get an airplane.

216
00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 2>And you know a lot of these guys, they're spent.

217
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.159
<v Speaker 2>They treated a special in a special way from the

218
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.399
<v Speaker 2>time they're they're ten and twelve years old, because people say, oh,

219
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:08.559
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be a good athlete, so you know

220
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:13.639
<v Speaker 2>they've that's that's a part of that may be part

221
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.519
<v Speaker 2>of the problem, but that isn't what what sank mail.

222
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.840
<v Speaker 2>I think what sank Mayo was the fans were pretty upset,

223
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.399
<v Speaker 2>and and I look at the fans and it's like, look,

224
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, you're none of you are owners, you're you're

225
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:28.879
<v Speaker 2>you pay your tickets to go to the game. I

226
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.039
<v Speaker 2>just think it's a little unfair to uh to to

227
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:35.320
<v Speaker 2>try to get someone fired in their first year. I mean,

228
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:36.960
<v Speaker 2>there are a lot of people who are yelling and

229
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:37.879
<v Speaker 2>screaming for that.

230
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:45.600
<v Speaker 8>At Gillette Stadium, So so you know what my thing is, right,

231
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:50.720
<v Speaker 8>but screaming in whatever, no, no, come on, come on.

232
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:54.559
<v Speaker 5>It has to do with the players. They're the ones

233
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:56.159
<v Speaker 5>that are supposed to do their job.

234
00:14:58.200 --> 00:14:59.440
<v Speaker 8>They're the ones they do it.

235
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're doing They're doing their job against other equally

236
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:11.000
<v Speaker 2>talented and sometimes more talented players. So yeah, what can

237
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 2>I say? Uh hill uh so, but you know, you

238
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:16.799
<v Speaker 2>agree with me, you think that he should have been

239
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.879
<v Speaker 2>given a little bit of a longer, longer time than

240
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:21.120
<v Speaker 2>the job to prove himself.

241
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:26.159
<v Speaker 5>I do, because from what I'm just seeing, he was

242
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:29.480
<v Speaker 5>defensive coach. I mean, you know the offense.

243
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:34.600
<v Speaker 7>My thing is he was Rachel, Rachel, Rachel.

244
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:37.559
<v Speaker 2>He's got a defensive coordinator, he's got an offensive coordinator.

245
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.519
<v Speaker 2>He's the head coach. So yeah, he is one of

246
00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:43.519
<v Speaker 2>those positions where the buck stops there. Rachel. I thank

247
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:44.879
<v Speaker 2>you if you call him. Want to try to get

248
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:46.440
<v Speaker 2>one more in here before we got to go to

249
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:46.840
<v Speaker 2>the break?

250
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.080
<v Speaker 8>Okay, okay, Sean, take care.

251
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:52.279
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for getting this go on, Rachel. I appreciate it.

252
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Matter of fact, I don't want to short change Tom

253
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.480
<v Speaker 2>and Lynn. So Tom, you stay right there, get you

254
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:58.639
<v Speaker 2>right up after the news if you'd like to join

255
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:01.559
<v Speaker 2>the conversation. Six point seven two five four to ten thirty.

256
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Also six one, seven, nine ten thirty. Did Gerrod Mayo?

257
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Did he kind of get a short straw here? I

258
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.200
<v Speaker 2>think he did. Now, I know some of the Patriot

259
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:19.399
<v Speaker 2>fans out there, if you're listening, if you're a regular

260
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>sports talk show, you want to jump on and tell

261
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.799
<v Speaker 2>me what a knucklehead I am. That's fine, but I

262
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.639
<v Speaker 2>think the guy deserved more than a year to basically

263
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:32.200
<v Speaker 2>put his own brand on the team. He inherited a team.

264
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Other people were involved in the in the drafting of

265
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:43.480
<v Speaker 2>the players, and frankly, the Patriots have They had some injuries,

266
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:48.240
<v Speaker 2>they had some players who ran into legal trouble this year. Now,

267
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:50.840
<v Speaker 2>if you want to, I guess blame him for that.

268
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:54.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's fair. But I think he was

269
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:56.879
<v Speaker 2>a victim of a bunch of circumstances and I wish

270
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.960
<v Speaker 2>the Patriots had given him another season in my opinion,

271
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:02.559
<v Speaker 2>but you could agree or disagree. You have the numbers

272
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:04.720
<v Speaker 2>back on Nightside right after this. The best line is

273
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.519
<v Speaker 2>six one, seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty that I'll

274
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:12.279
<v Speaker 2>get you through a red away, thank you ed. According

275
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.920
<v Speaker 2>to NIH. To a recent NIH study, by age sixty five,

276
00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:20.480
<v Speaker 2>many Americans have lost at least six permanent teeth that

277
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:23.720
<v Speaker 2>can lead to chewing, digestion, and self esteem problems. Dental

278
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:26.680
<v Speaker 2>implants have become the gold standard for treating missing and

279
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.480
<v Speaker 2>compromised teeth, and I'm delighted to endorse new arch by

280

291
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:12.559
<v Speaker 2>never had a dental implant with doctor Sal or anyone else,

292
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:15.400
<v Speaker 2>but if I needed one, he's the doctor I'm going

293

<v Speaker 2>to because I sat in the chair that you would

294
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.599
<v Speaker 2>sit in and he explained the process to me, and you,

295
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.960
<v Speaker 2>like I would get a clear picture of every step

300
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:42.519
<v Speaker 2>eight eight eight one twelve ninety. Remember New arch is

301
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:45.119
<v Speaker 2>New England's choice to chew and smile with confidence and

302
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.079
<v Speaker 2>no by the way. When you're there, make sure that

303
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 2>you give a look at what is called I guess

304
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:54.160
<v Speaker 2>the before and after wall. He has pictures of people

305
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:57.200
<v Speaker 2>who he has treated so successfully they now literally have

306
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.119
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood smiles. And when you look at the before, make

307
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:05.599
<v Speaker 2>sure you realize what a magician this, this doctor is.

308
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Seal is unbelievable. He took people who had literally

309
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:14.240
<v Speaker 2>some of the worst sets of teeth that I could imagine,

310
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:17.680
<v Speaker 2>and turn them into they look like Hollywood stars. It's

311
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:20.119
<v Speaker 2>a simple. It's as simple as that. If you need

312
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:24.160
<v Speaker 2>a dental implant, check him out. It's in It's doctor

313
00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:28.480
<v Speaker 2>sell by New Arch. He is in Ashland. This parking

314
00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:32.400
<v Speaker 2>easy parking, and he's just a wonderful human being and

315
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:35.559
<v Speaker 2>he understands that. Look, you know you're a little bit

316
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:38.559
<v Speaker 2>of apprehensive about it. Fine, go and talk to him.

317
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:40.720
<v Speaker 2>He'll put your mind. He'll put your mind that ease

318
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:44.160
<v Speaker 2>and put you at ease again. The number is simply

319
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.480
<v Speaker 2>five zero eight eight eight one, twelve ninety. You won't

320
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:49.519
<v Speaker 2>regret making the call.

321
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:56.599
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray Boston's news radio.

322
00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:59.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, so we're talking about the dismissal, the firing,

323
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.680
<v Speaker 2>whatever word you want to use of Gerard Mayo. I

324
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:06.400
<v Speaker 2>think it was unfair. I think that an NFL coach

325
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:10.920
<v Speaker 2>needs more than a year to put his his mark

326
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:13.640
<v Speaker 2>on a team. Uh, you can agree or disagree. Let

327
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.880
<v Speaker 2>me go next to Thomas in Win. Hey, Tom, welcome

328
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:18.160
<v Speaker 2>next on Nightside. How are you, sir?

329
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:20.400
<v Speaker 9>I'm cold?

330
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:21.039
<v Speaker 10>Is it cold enough?

331
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:21.759
<v Speaker 11>Flora Reward?

332
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:24.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, I'll tell you I was out there today

333
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:29.599
<v Speaker 2>and uh, you know it's January. So if you thought

334
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:30.880
<v Speaker 2>it was a cold day for us, it was a

335
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:32.319
<v Speaker 2>pretty cold day for Gerard Mayo.

336
00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:35.680
<v Speaker 10>To go right ahead, I'm with you. I agree.

337
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:40.599
<v Speaker 9>I liked Mayo. Yeah, he he That's not right. He

338
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:44.759
<v Speaker 9>deserved better, you know. So as I said, I like Mayo.

339
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, here's the thing. Here's the thing that's

340
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:49.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of funny. There was one other head coach that

341
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:51.400
<v Speaker 2>we know of that was fired today. Maybe there's more.

342
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.680
<v Speaker 2>They call it in the NFL Black Monday, the Monday

343
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:56.559
<v Speaker 2>after the regular season. So Doug Peterson was the coach

344
00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:59.640
<v Speaker 2>of Jacksonville. He was the guy who was coaching the

345
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Eagle when the Eagles upset the Patriots in Minneapolis several

346
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.440
<v Speaker 2>years ago. So Gerard Mayos fired the same day as

347
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:09.640
<v Speaker 2>a super Bowl winning coach. Even winning the Super Bowl

348
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:13.319
<v Speaker 2>doesn't buy you a whole lot of time. So it's

349
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:16.599
<v Speaker 2>a tough business. I've got to tell you. And I

350
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:20.640
<v Speaker 2>I look call me a softie. Give the guy a

351
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:22.599
<v Speaker 2>couple of years. If he conjured the team around a

352
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:23.759
<v Speaker 2>couple of years, that's fine.

353
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:27.680
<v Speaker 10>But one year, okay, all right?

354
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:30.640
<v Speaker 9>Well, as I say I liked Mayo, I also have

355
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.400
<v Speaker 9>to sit and I liked Craft. He paid one hundred

356
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.400
<v Speaker 9>and two hundred million dollars to the team, cried pomos

357
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:38.720
<v Speaker 9>all the way. Then he was going to move the

358
00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:42.000
<v Speaker 9>team to Hartford or Providence of Portland.

359
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it was hard for Hartford. He was he was

360
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:46.319
<v Speaker 2>down there talking with the governor and everybody was afraid,

361
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:48.319
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna lose the Patriots. You're absolutely right.

362
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:52.200
<v Speaker 9>I always thought Montpelia Patriots had a nice sprink to it.

363
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:54.960
<v Speaker 2>But so that's still part of New England.

364
00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:00.240
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, well, don't know what success twenty years.

365
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.839
<v Speaker 2>They look even the great, the great, you know, the

366
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:06.279
<v Speaker 2>great Steeler teams they had to run for you know,

367
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:10.200
<v Speaker 2>seven eight, nine years. None of them won six super

368
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Bowls with the in in such a rapid fashion as

369
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:16.319
<v Speaker 2>the Patriots. The forty nine ers were great with Joe

370
00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Montana and then they had Steve Young. But all those

371
00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:23.640
<v Speaker 2>all those teams wear out guys, Guys get hurt, guys retire,

372
00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:28.480
<v Speaker 2>people are drafted and it just doesn't work. How long?

373
00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:30.039
<v Speaker 2>What did they think the Patriots are going to go

374
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:32.640
<v Speaker 2>for thirty forty years as the best team in the NFL.

375
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:35.240
<v Speaker 2>You can't stay on top. They had this thing with

376
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:38.480
<v Speaker 2>the draft, which we know the worst teams with the

377
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.160
<v Speaker 2>worst record get to pick the best players the next year.

378
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:46.039
<v Speaker 2>And that's the league maintains its balanced, you know, on

379
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:49.160
<v Speaker 2>any given Sunday that's been I just think the Patriots

380
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:51.599
<v Speaker 2>fans sometimes can be a little unrealistic. And I think

381
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:54.599
<v Speaker 2>the people who were up there yelling for Gerrod Mayo

382
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.680
<v Speaker 2>to fire Mayo, you know, next year, they'll they'll be

383
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.440
<v Speaker 2>six and eleven. Maybe they'll be a little bit better,

384
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:02.960
<v Speaker 2>but they're not going to the playoffs anytime soon. In

385
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:03.480
<v Speaker 2>my opinion.

386
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.759
<v Speaker 9>No, it's gonna take it's gonna take a more coach

387
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:09.559
<v Speaker 9>or no coach. It's gonna take two or three seasons

388
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:12.440
<v Speaker 9>to turn this around. So what I think is going

389
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:15.599
<v Speaker 9>to happen, I think you're gonna see put the team

390
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:21.000
<v Speaker 9>sale because this is just for them anymore. Maybe, And

391
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:27.680
<v Speaker 9>if Bob Craft sounds like Biden, you know, please.

392
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Don't go that far. That's unfair to Bob Craft. Tom Olyginning,

393
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Tom, appreciate you call. Yeah, Happy new Year, Tom,

394
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep rolling. You're gonna go to Marianne and Bridgewater.

395
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Nice to see some ladies calling in on this one him. Marianne,

396
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:43.400
<v Speaker 2>how are you?

397
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:44.799
<v Speaker 8>I think?

398
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:47.480
<v Speaker 7>Thanks Stan, Happy new Year anyway.

399
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Happy New Year to you as well.

400
00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:50.920
<v Speaker 12>Thanks.

401
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:57.160
<v Speaker 7>You know, Mayo did deserve a second year. But I

402
00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:04.799
<v Speaker 7>don't blame anyone but Mayo by winning yesterday. I'm going

403
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:10.240
<v Speaker 7>to tell you, in all honesty, in hindsight, if that

404
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker 7>was Belichick out there, he would have played his second

405
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:19.519
<v Speaker 7>and third string guys, not caring about a win because

406
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:21.920
<v Speaker 7>he would have had the first draft pick.

407
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Was that, Well, yeah, here's the deal. I think at

408
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:31.480
<v Speaker 2>that point in Belichick's career, I think he knew that

409
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:34.720
<v Speaker 2>his time, his days were numbered with the Patriots. I

410
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:37.759
<v Speaker 2>think Mayo, I think, I don't know, what do you do?

411
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:38.519
<v Speaker 2>You do? You go out there?

412
00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:43.240
<v Speaker 7>Oh my gosh, damn, think about it. He played his

413
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:48.559
<v Speaker 7>first string. Do you think Buffalo really wanted the Patriots?

414
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:53.799
<v Speaker 7>To have first pick. Absolutely, not today. Second string players

415
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:54.480
<v Speaker 7>out there.

416
00:24:54.920 --> 00:24:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, they had a third string quarterback out out in

417
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:02.359
<v Speaker 2>the fourth quarter. Who I think he was two for

418
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:04.680
<v Speaker 2>nine or something like that. I gotta be honest with you.

419
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I could have played and I could have been two

420
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:07.519
<v Speaker 2>for nine passing.

421
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:11.559
<v Speaker 7>I mean sure it was so All I'm saying is,

422
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:16.839
<v Speaker 7>you know I am I a huge Patriot fan. I'm sorry. No,

423
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:20.240
<v Speaker 7>I'm a hockey person. The bruins of my people, and

424
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:24.799
<v Speaker 7>I'm Red Sox Patriots. You know, I follow and I

425
00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:27.559
<v Speaker 7>follow the coaches, and I did like the who check

426
00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:30.839
<v Speaker 7>and Drew Bledsoe lived in Bridgewater and he was a

427
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:35.000
<v Speaker 7>great guy to the neighborhood kids. Yeah, that's what I.

428
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:36.920
<v Speaker 12>Started following the Patriots.

429
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:39.839
<v Speaker 2>It's too bad that that Bledsoe ran into mo Lewis

430
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:43.480
<v Speaker 2>or mo Lewis ran into Bledsoe on the sidelines against

431
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:44.119
<v Speaker 2>the Jets.

432
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:48.160
<v Speaker 7>Scared, he got scared, and once you're scared, he was done.

433
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:50.119
<v Speaker 7>But look at no, he was hurt.

434
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:52.920
<v Speaker 2>No, no, whoa, whoa whoa No, you know, Bledsoe was hurt.

435
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:56.839
<v Speaker 2>And Brady came came along at the right time.

436
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:01.839
<v Speaker 7>And you know, I know what I'm trying to say,

437
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:05.839
<v Speaker 7>is Mayo should have had a second year. I think

438
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:10.920
<v Speaker 7>what sealed his fate was the fact that you blew

439
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:17.440
<v Speaker 7>first pick, you know, and honestly, you know, I just

440
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:18.759
<v Speaker 7>felt bad for Mayo.

441
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:20.799
<v Speaker 2>But so you think they would have kept You think

442
00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 2>they would have kept him if he had if he

443
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:25.000
<v Speaker 2>had lost yesterday?

444
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:28.720
<v Speaker 7>Oh, absolutely was first pick. I think they might have

445
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.240
<v Speaker 7>that was grew up on a coaching pot by not

446
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:36.519
<v Speaker 7>letting like, honestly, that's what I think. But I'm only

447
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:37.240
<v Speaker 7>a female.

448
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:43.079
<v Speaker 2>So he took He took may out after one series, okay,

449
00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:45.960
<v Speaker 2>which was nothing more. You know, you get sacked and punted,

450
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:49.440
<v Speaker 2>and he put Joe Milton in and Milton played great.

451
00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:52.599
<v Speaker 2>What's he going to do? Call this kid over Milton

452
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:54.480
<v Speaker 2>who's playing in this first game and say, hey man,

453
00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:56.440
<v Speaker 2>you got to bag this? What are you doing? What

454
00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:57.359
<v Speaker 2>are you doing?

455
00:26:57.920 --> 00:26:59.839
<v Speaker 7>That's what I'm saying. What I would have done was

456
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:02.480
<v Speaker 7>I would have put out people that couldn't catch or

457
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:06.400
<v Speaker 7>needed help catching or something. I would have played like,

458
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:09.359
<v Speaker 7>I don't know. I'm thinking of what Belichick did one year,

459
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:12.839
<v Speaker 7>and who more or less put the guys out that

460
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:18.599
<v Speaker 7>hadn't played all year long. You can't blame Mayo behavior

461
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:20.240
<v Speaker 7>of football players, you can't.

462
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:23.519
<v Speaker 2>I think Belichick did that in a game that he

463
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:26.240
<v Speaker 2>was concerned about what team he was going to match

464
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:29.240
<v Speaker 2>up against, and he wanted, I believe that year to

465
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:32.240
<v Speaker 2>play Jacksonville in the first round, which they won and

466
00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:34.480
<v Speaker 2>they eventually lost I think to the Steelers.

467
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:40.200
<v Speaker 7>But okay, there was coaching strategy there.

468
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, some some would call it more than coaching strategy.

469
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:46.720
<v Speaker 2>They'd call it bag of the game, you know. I

470
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:48.119
<v Speaker 2>mean you're not supposed.

471
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:50.799
<v Speaker 7>To No, No, I'm not saying they should have just

472
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:53.559
<v Speaker 7>like given up. What I'm saying is is that think

473
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:56.359
<v Speaker 7>of all them third string guys that really didn't get

474
00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:59.640
<v Speaker 7>any playtime. Look at it's the last game of the season.

475
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:02.359
<v Speaker 7>It's like what you do locally, you know, get the

476
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:05.000
<v Speaker 7>little kids out there and get these guys they're getting

477
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:08.079
<v Speaker 7>paid money for sitting on the sideline. Let them out

478
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:10.240
<v Speaker 7>there and let's see if they can finally catch a

479
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:13.160
<v Speaker 7>ball or something. I'm not saying they should have. I mean, like,

480
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:15.240
<v Speaker 7>you know, not saying they did play.

481
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:17.759
<v Speaker 2>They did play the they did play the second and

482
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:20.960
<v Speaker 2>third stringers yesterday. I mean there were I mean, Milton,

483
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:23.880
<v Speaker 2>I think the Pig Patriots, I don't know how deep

484
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:26.200
<v Speaker 2>they could go. They only got you know whatever it

485
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:28.599
<v Speaker 2>is forty five guys dressed for for a game or

486
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:31.720
<v Speaker 2>fifty whatever the fifty two now, I think, Mary, and

487
00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:35.359
<v Speaker 2>thank you much. I loved your call, your your great callers.

488
00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Thanks so much tonight, Thanks you too. Good night. Let's

489
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:42.799
<v Speaker 2>keep take a break. And we got Maureen and we

490
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:44.680
<v Speaker 2>got Bill coming up, and we got a little bit

491
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:45.880
<v Speaker 2>of room for you. I'll get you in if you

492
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:49.160
<v Speaker 2>want six one, seven, two, five, four, ten, thirty six seven.

493
00:28:50.359 --> 00:28:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Coming right back on Night'side. Talking about Gerrod Mayo's dismissal

494
00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:56.559
<v Speaker 2>as head coach of the Patriots. I think it was unfair.

495
00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:58.599
<v Speaker 2>It's as simple as that. I loved to know, would

496
00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:01.839
<v Speaker 2>you think. And we are going to change topics at

497
00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:04.119
<v Speaker 2>ten o'clock. So if you want to dial now, we'll

498
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:06.599
<v Speaker 2>get you in. If you wait any longer, you won't

499
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:09.519
<v Speaker 2>get in. You can express yourself. This is kind of

500
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing this in memory of Guy Manilla calling all sports.

501
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:14.559
<v Speaker 2>Those of you have been around for a while can

502
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:17.519
<v Speaker 2>remember that program. Coming back on night Side.

503
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

504
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:24.519
<v Speaker 1>to night Side Studios on DOBZ News Radio.

505
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Right by the way again. You know, Christian Barmore, Jabrill Peppers,

506
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:31.240
<v Speaker 2>a couple of the players who got themselves in a

507
00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:33.839
<v Speaker 2>little bit of legal problems this year. That didn't help

508
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Girod Mayo. Let me go next to Bill and hey Bill,

509
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:41.119
<v Speaker 2>how are you? I know this is Bill Winker. Hi Bill,

510
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:41.799
<v Speaker 2>what's going on?

511
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:42.480
<v Speaker 12>Well?

512
00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:44.839
<v Speaker 10>You accuse me of not calling much, and you're right,

513
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:47.720
<v Speaker 10>So I figured I'll put my two SEMs worth in tonight.

514
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'd love to hear what you think.

515
00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:53.359
<v Speaker 10>Well, first of all, I think, like you and Mayo,

516
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:56.960
<v Speaker 10>they should have given them another year. You know, here's

517
00:29:57.160 --> 00:29:59.440
<v Speaker 10>a lesson I learned a long time ago from my

518
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:02.960
<v Speaker 10>father when we were kids and we started to work

519
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:05.440
<v Speaker 10>with my dad, and he said, you've got to surround

520
00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:09.359
<v Speaker 10>yourselves with people that are better than you are. And

521
00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:12.400
<v Speaker 10>that's true today. If Boe and I go out to

522
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:14.759
<v Speaker 10>play at a party or a wedding or an event,

523
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.440
<v Speaker 10>if the two of us go and the people around

524
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:21.880
<v Speaker 10>us aren't as good or better than we are, we

525
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:25.559
<v Speaker 10>just we're not going to succeed. It's not going to

526
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:30.119
<v Speaker 10>be a great product. And poor Gerard Mao did not

527
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:32.759
<v Speaker 10>have a great product. I watched every game this year

528
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:38.039
<v Speaker 10>on TV, and you know, all the announces each game

529
00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:41.839
<v Speaker 10>would always comment on the week team that we had

530
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.279
<v Speaker 10>out there. You know, great quarterback this year, which was

531
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:49.119
<v Speaker 10>a surprise and it was a great surprise, and even

532
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:53.279
<v Speaker 10>Milton surprises yesterday. But one great player doesn't do it.

533
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:56.799
<v Speaker 10>If you had a law froom, you need all great lawyers.

534
00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.480
<v Speaker 10>And if you've got a software company, you need geniuses

535
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:02.240
<v Speaker 10>working there. In a drug company, same so you need

536
00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:05.640
<v Speaker 10>a great team. And Craft did not spend the money

537
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:08.759
<v Speaker 10>pick up some key free agents in weak spots. You

538
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:10.880
<v Speaker 10>need to spend the money. You have to have the

539
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:14.359
<v Speaker 10>best people in the field. One superstar can't do it.

540
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't agree with you more. And I also think what

541
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:20.200
<v Speaker 2>you do with a coach is you establish a baseline.

542
00:31:20.599 --> 00:31:24.400
<v Speaker 2>So he was four and thirteen. Next year, if he

543
00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:26.599
<v Speaker 2>was four and thirteen again, at that point he can say,

544
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:28.759
<v Speaker 2>look that didn't work out. Or if he was three

545
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:35.359
<v Speaker 2>and fifteen or whatever the number would be. If he

546
00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:43.599
<v Speaker 2>was let's say, uh, three and three and fourteen, it's

547
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:47.880
<v Speaker 2>no improvement, then that's fine, fire him. But if next

548
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:50.160
<v Speaker 2>year instead of winning four, they win six or seven,

549
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:52.319
<v Speaker 2>you stick You stick with them again. And then if

550
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:54.160
<v Speaker 2>he ate it now. You're talking now, maybe you're in

551
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:55.960
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs two years from now. I don't know.

552
00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:59.640
<v Speaker 10>I agree with you one hundred percent on that, but uh.

553
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:05.160
<v Speaker 13>Craft needed to support him by encouraging the whole staff,

554
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:08.519
<v Speaker 13>you know, pick up some great players you have to

555
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:11.680
<v Speaker 13>improve and yeah, have a good team on the field.

556
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they had one guy to make the Pro Bowl

557
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:16.519
<v Speaker 2>this year. That's the real question here. You have a

558
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:19.519
<v Speaker 2>roster of fifty three. One guy made the Pro Bowl

559
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.480
<v Speaker 2>and he was a Special Teams rep. I mean that's straight.

560
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:25.880
<v Speaker 2>That's not great. That is that's not great. Bill is

561
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:28.480
<v Speaker 2>always please. They had a bow for me, and uh,

562
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:31.240
<v Speaker 2>we've got to get you on some Friday night as

563
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:31.720
<v Speaker 2>a guest.

564
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:35.000
<v Speaker 10>Okay, yeah, that would be great. We we love your show.

565
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:37.440
<v Speaker 10>I listen every night. It's great.

566
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:40.200
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate it so much. And we love the Winnakers,

567
00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:43.640
<v Speaker 2>that's for sure, Bill Winnaker. Uh, And we'll get you

568
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:47.160
<v Speaker 2>in bow on and sometime on one of these cold

569
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:49.119
<v Speaker 2>winter nights and we're warming up a little bit with

570
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:50.200
<v Speaker 2>some musics.

571
00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:52.920
<v Speaker 10>Buddy sounds good, okay, good, thank.

572
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:54.960
<v Speaker 2>You, So good night. Let's keep rolling. You're gonna go

573
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:57.279
<v Speaker 2>to Maureene and Brockton Maureen, what do you say about

574
00:32:57.319 --> 00:32:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Gerad Mayo?

575
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:01.720
<v Speaker 12>Hi damn, Happy New Year to you and to Rob

576
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:05.759
<v Speaker 12>and to all the Night Side nations. I am very sad.

577
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:06.440
<v Speaker 10>You welcome.

578
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:10.519
<v Speaker 12>I'm very sad. I'm a huge fan of the coach.

579
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:15.839
<v Speaker 12>But my point is is there were a lot of injuries,

580
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:21.279
<v Speaker 12>and you complain that on the coach, you know you can.

581
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:23.839
<v Speaker 12>It's like it's like still the thing like you you know,

582
00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:26.920
<v Speaker 12>you you work with what you have, and he's he

583
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:29.440
<v Speaker 12>was a rookie. He you know, what are you doing

584
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:32.079
<v Speaker 12>comparing him like you know, apples to oranges, you know,

585
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:35.559
<v Speaker 12>him to Belichick. It's like, no, no, I was very

586
00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:36.960
<v Speaker 12>sad when I heard the news.

587
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, the other thing, you had a couple of players

588
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:43.079
<v Speaker 2>who got into some pretty serious bar More not only

589
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:47.000
<v Speaker 2>had some problems, some legal problems with that traffic stop

590
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:49.680
<v Speaker 2>down in Rhode Island, but then he was dealing with

591
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:55.480
<v Speaker 2>some sort of black cloth issues. Jabrill Prat Pepper's He's still,

592
00:33:55.960 --> 00:33:57.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, had that sort of hanging over his head.

593
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:01.720
<v Speaker 2>They reactivated him a few weeks ago. But that's disruptive

594
00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:04.839
<v Speaker 2>in a team, and you know, those those guys sort

595
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:07.799
<v Speaker 2>of let their teammates down and let and let him done.

596
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:10.800
<v Speaker 2>It's bad enough when a player gets into some sort

597
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:14.159
<v Speaker 2>of stupid event, uh in the off season, But when

598
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:19.559
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of the season you find yourself under arrest,

599
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.519
<v Speaker 2>that's that's not good. It's just yeah.

600
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:24.039
<v Speaker 9>No, I was, I was.

601
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:26.519
<v Speaker 12>I was very sad. I watched the game yesterday. I

602
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:29.360
<v Speaker 12>was so thrilled with Joe Milton. What a what a

603
00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 12>wonderful asset he is, and even.

604
00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if Drake May is the real thing, which

605
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:38.119
<v Speaker 2>I think he is, you can't play two quarterbacks. But

606
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:41.559
<v Speaker 2>you can turn around now and and and maybe uh,

607
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Milton is the real deal. You can get some good

608
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:47.559
<v Speaker 2>players at other positions in the trade for Milton or

609
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know, if you want to think

610
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.440
<v Speaker 2>about trade and May. I think May is the franchise quarterback.

611
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.440
<v Speaker 2>That's I think decided by how much money they make

612
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:58.519
<v Speaker 2>and their and their draft status. Milton I think was

613
00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:00.480
<v Speaker 2>a sixth rounder if I'm not miss taken it, and

614
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:03.440
<v Speaker 2>May was obviously a first round pick.

615
00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:05.639
<v Speaker 10>So well, and the whole bit.

616
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:11.119
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, go ahead, no, go ahead, I interrupted you go ahead, Marien.

617
00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:15.559
<v Speaker 12>No, No, I probably interrupted you on I apologize every week.

618
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:18.559
<v Speaker 12>My family does a zoom family call and I have

619
00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:21.480
<v Speaker 12>a brother in Brighton and both of my brothers and

620
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:24.159
<v Speaker 12>they were like they just wanted the paths to lose

621
00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:26.719
<v Speaker 12>because they wanted that first round. Well, sure, I don't

622
00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:29.039
<v Speaker 12>think that that was in coaches. You know, that was

623
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:31.599
<v Speaker 12>not in coaches eyes, you know, to go out and lose.

624
00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:34.599
<v Speaker 12>And I mean I believe I believe Crap. I saw

625
00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:36.800
<v Speaker 12>a part of the interview, and I don't believe Kraft,

626
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:38.679
<v Speaker 12>you know, said oh, go out and lose the game

627
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:42.000
<v Speaker 12>today because yesterday. So I just I think it's we

628
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:44.719
<v Speaker 12>had a lot of injuries. Yes, we had some people

629
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:47.199
<v Speaker 12>that you know, but again, but aside from that, he

630
00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:50.400
<v Speaker 12>was only his first year. He's he's only one of

631
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:56.039
<v Speaker 12>there were two his age head coaches. I mean, he's

632
00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:58.519
<v Speaker 12>what thirty seven or thirty eight, I think.

633
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Get something like that. But NFL coaches are getting younger

634
00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:06.800
<v Speaker 2>over time, because there's some young coaches have had great success. Maureen,

635
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:08.559
<v Speaker 2>I love you. Cal I'm gonna try to get one

636
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:11.599
<v Speaker 2>more in here if it's okay. Thanks so much being

637
00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:14.360
<v Speaker 2>with being there tonight. Thanks so much, Marine, I appreciate it.

638
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Robert and Wellesley. Robert, you're going to wrap the hour

639
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:17.960
<v Speaker 2>for us. Go right ahead, Robert.

640
00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:25.840
<v Speaker 11>Okay, good evening, Dan, and my superficial quick analysis. My

641
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:30.079
<v Speaker 11>gut feeling is that the coach was a scapegoat, and

642
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:32.239
<v Speaker 11>I do agree with the other callers that and you

643
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:34.840
<v Speaker 11>that you should have been given another another year. It

644
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:36.719
<v Speaker 11>seemed to me like he was making progress.

645
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:41.239
<v Speaker 2>And oh, yes, I think that. Yeah, I mean, I

646
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:43.800
<v Speaker 2>think you need an entire season. And then you say, okay,

647
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:46.199
<v Speaker 2>we were four to thirteen. They could have won a

648
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:48.320
<v Speaker 2>couple of other games. To be honest with you, there

649
00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:50.559
<v Speaker 2>were a couple of other games they were very competitive

650
00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:54.039
<v Speaker 2>in and there was one they lost overtime to Seattle.

651
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:57.519
<v Speaker 2>They could have easily been you know, six and eleven

652
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:01.840
<v Speaker 2>as opposed to four and three team. But that's where

653
00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:04.440
<v Speaker 2>they are, and there's your baseline and go from there

654
00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:06.679
<v Speaker 2>and get better next year. I think they will get

655
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:09.239
<v Speaker 2>better next year. But I just think it was unfair.

656
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:12.679
<v Speaker 2>And again, some of his own players let him down.

657
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure he was upset that that a couple of

658
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:19.039
<v Speaker 2>his guys ended up, you know, out of commission because

659
00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:22.440
<v Speaker 2>of you know, dumb interactions with police officers. I know

660
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.800
<v Speaker 2>that the league now cautions these guys, you know, use

661
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:28.000
<v Speaker 2>your brain. You're making a lot of money. You know,

662
00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:31.320
<v Speaker 2>act appropriately if you if you do get pulled over.

663
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Most times, if you polite to an officer, they're going

664
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:37.639
<v Speaker 2>to give you a bit of a break. Take advantage

665
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:43.159
<v Speaker 2>of your status, you know whatever. I just think I

666
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:46.119
<v Speaker 2>think the guy got a short deal, short shrift, I

667
00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:50.280
<v Speaker 2>should say, And he'll end up. I'm sure as a coach,

668
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:53.840
<v Speaker 2>he's young enough, he'll come back and maybe he'll become

669
00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:56.679
<v Speaker 2>a great coach. And because that's how they decide if

670
00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:58.719
<v Speaker 2>you're a great coach, if you win and lose. But

671
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:00.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know too many coaches is that could take

672
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:03.119
<v Speaker 2>that roster and do much more than four wins. It's

673
00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:05.000
<v Speaker 2>as simple as that, simple as that.

674
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:09.920
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, good, good analysis better than mine and and just

675
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:12.280
<v Speaker 11>my gut failing, as it seemed like there was a

676
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:14.920
<v Speaker 11>little bit of a lack of intestinal fortitude and it

677
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:17.599
<v Speaker 11>was not particularly doesn't seem to me like a particularly

678
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:18.800
<v Speaker 11>great executive decision.

679
00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:22.800
<v Speaker 2>All right, Robert, appreciate you all very much. We'll talk again,

680
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:25.880
<v Speaker 2>talk soon. Thanks thanks as always, Thank thank you, have

681
00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:28.960
<v Speaker 2>a great night. Good night. Six one seven, five, four

682
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:30.880
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty is the number you should write it down.

683
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Six one seven, nine three one ten thirty when we

684
00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:36.480
<v Speaker 2>get back after the ten o'clock news, we are going

685
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:39.599
<v Speaker 2>to change topics. And there's a new study out that

686
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:43.719
<v Speaker 2>suggests that amongst all of the top twenty five most

687
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:49.679
<v Speaker 2>congested American cities, Boston ranks fourth, which is not a

688
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:53.039
<v Speaker 2>place we want to be, uh. And we'll talk about that,

689
00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:55.440
<v Speaker 2>and we'll talk about what's going on in New York

690
00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:58.639
<v Speaker 2>City with the congestion pricing, because at this point, all

691
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:02.960
<v Speaker 2>the network stories I saw the night said Boston, San Francisco,

692
00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:06.159
<v Speaker 2>or Chicago could be next. We talked about this a

693
00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:08.360
<v Speaker 2>little bit on Friday night. I'd like to like to

694
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:11.679
<v Speaker 2>talk about it again tonight because I think it's crazy.

695
00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:13.880
<v Speaker 2>And we'll be back on Nightside right after the ten

696
00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:14.599
<v Speaker 2>o'clock news
