The Sports Hub. Follow us on Twitter at 985, the Sports Hub. A little extra effort could earn you a star. These guys know how to connect with you about Boston Sports. Say that more slowly, because I'm stupid. Helger and Maz on 985. The Sports Hub. Bedard's with the team in West Virginia, Maz. Yep. So we needed a pinch hitter. If you're listening on the radio, you don't know who it is.

If you're watching on TV, The Sports Hub Bedard's with the team in West Virginia, Mazz. Yep.

So we needed a pinch hitter. If you're listening on the radio, you don't know who it is. If you're watching on CSN where we simulcast across New England and the country, you'll soon see that our pinch hitter for today is one Michael Hurley. Hurley. Hurley. What's up, guys? What's your middle name, Hurley? Francis. That's not how that works order-wise, but close.

What is it?

Francis is in the middle.

You said what you're in. Thus proving my special, my disability. You got the important chunks, just the order was, you know, a little bit off. No, no, no. Thus proving what you're working with here. But anyway, Hurley's in our town for a tire studio. What's up, Hurley?

What's going on?

Okay, we're going to talk some football today with you.

All right, and I'm a little crabby, so that's probably good for the purposes of being here. And if this were a podcast, I'd ask you why, but it's not. This is a broadcast, so we don't have time to get into your particular crap. We're going to get right into the topic.

Yeah, we're going to get right into the topic, okay?

So I do think that, and so we're going to talk football for the next two hours here, folks, and more, but at least the next two hours. So if you want to join us, 617-779-0-98-5, I feel like you're a little slow on the uptake here, kid. And if I've missed a story, then, you know, forgive me for what I'm about to say. But Michael Hurley is the king, the undisputed king of the bitchy Patriots response column. I mean, the undisputed king. There could be some nerd from some dark corner of the internet that we've never heard of, writing for a site that no one's ever heard of, that says something about paint manning me better than tom brady and the next day you can bet at cbs there's hurley

what do you mean this guy that kid will have been delivered a verbal choke slam exactly

hurley is the king of it i'd say he's the emperor i i don't know who's better i mean then believe

me there's a lot there's a lot of your ilk out there where 90% of their material is just responding to slights and perceived slights. So I was surprised, Hurley, when I have yet to read a response from you on this Barnwell. What's Barnwell's first name on ESPN? Bill Barnwell. On his column on ESPN.com. Have you written anything on this? No. So Bill Barnwell wrote a column about players in the NFL who may have peaked, and he writes about Tom Brady. Number one is Brady. Number one is Tom Brady in terms of players who may have peaked. Just getting those hits. Put him right up top. Just quickly. I'll read it for you.

And then you can chirp.

Okay.

Barnwell writes that Brady continues to defy the effects of aging.

It's a positive statement, Hurley.

Brady produced the best adjusted net yards per attempt of his career in 2000, since 2007 last season.

So adjusted.
