Noah says it like they do.

What do you mean?

Well, what do you mean?

Felger and Madge.

I'm just making it up.

Totally making it up.

985, the Sports Hub.

We also let off the show with Michael Bennett. I'm not giving up on him. I'm no fan of Michael Bennett. I really don't like the guy. Just, you know, from where I sit. Like, I don't... I got in trouble with Van Nuoy trying to do this. Like, it's personal. I don't know the guy. I never met the guy. I'm telling you, I don't like... I just... I'm no fan of Michael Bennett from where I sit. I think he's a pain in the ass. And I said it the day you signed him. And I think he's been a pain in the ass. I think that that's all coming to fruition. But I also think there's no market for Michael Bennett. I also think that someone would be stupid to give you anything for him when it looks like he might be releasing them anyway. So I think what you're looking at with Michael Bennett is just a giveaway. And if given the option of giving him away for nothing or just waiting it out and seeing if he turns it around, gets his head screwed on straight, I'd wait for that second thing. I'd wait for that second thing. So I'm not giving up on Michael Bennett. If it's a real football trade and I get something back for him, Fine. Let me know what that is and we'll talk.

But I'm not releasing him for nothing or I'm not just trading them for a seventh round

pick to get rid of the cap space. I'm going to wait it out on Michael Bennett.

So that was a lead off take on that. We gave you some Celtics as well.

We continue with your calls. Here is Paul in Rhode Island. Second chance. Paul, are you

there? Yes, I'm here. Go ahead.

Thank you for taking my call. I just don't think that we can jeopardize the defense and all the experience they have. When these guys come to New England with the turmoil,

and I'm going to say right now, this is the guy that we need to win a Super Bowl. Okay, let me ask you. Thank you, Paul, for the call. Do you agree that we don't even know Bennett's value to the team yet? Yeah, I partly feel that way. Because the competition? I think there's some truth today, yeah. He's a pure pass rusher, and speed is one of his better attributes, so I would like to see him on the field more than Adam Butler when you're going up against Houston and a mobile quarterback in the same thing with Kansas City, even if, you know, Patrick Mahomes is still dealing with an ankle injury. I'd rather have Bennett out there trying to rush the pass than any of these other guys or it's better against the run. Yeah, I also think that there is a veteran element to him that is, look, the guy's been around the block. Okay, he's going to have a hard time getting up for a game against the Redskins in October or September. He is someone you think would rise to the occasion. Elevate when the time comes. Absolutely. Like, honestly, I think we saw some of that from Indyaman Suh last year. Definitely. Right? He played better in the postseason, and I'm not a huge Indyman Su fan, but I felt like he was dialed in and ready to go. I think you could see something similar from Bennett if they put him on the field. Pat and Beverly, your thoughts? Two quick thoughts. with Bennett there, I think you got to make those calls to the NFC, try to trade them.

Like Patricia, I call your buddy up, maybe make a deal for Mendoza. The second thing now is, how isn't Belichick, the master of trading picks, moving picks around, having made a move for an offensive weapon? It's mind-blowing. I don't know what to think on the situation, but you got got to do something. Oh, my God, he's tried a million things. You know any guys he's tried to sign? How many guys he brought in? Antonio Brown, first round pick for the first time as a Patriots coach on Nikiel Harry. I'm going to forget all their names. Maurice Harris, Ellington, all the guys they did actually sign and bring in. Right. Don Trell Inman, the guys they tried to bid on in free agency who turned down, who turned them down, Beasley, Humphreys. He's tried a million things. Are you kidding me? He has. Yeah, look, and either they haven't gotten a guy because they dragged their feet or it hasn't worked. like in the case of Humphreys, they went back to him and offered him more money than Tennessee did,

but it was too late.

So if you're willing to go there eventually, what did you drag your feet for? Go get them. So you can criticize the execution on some of these guys, but don't say that he's just, you know, ignoring the thing. Isaiah in Boston on the seas. Go ahead, Isaiah. Yes, you guys are butchering Grant Williams' name like you do, Antonio Brown, all the time.

Oh, I said Trent, yeah.

But my point is, I feel like the Celtics are contenders.

The one piece that is shaky that they play by committee is at center.
