B-Pod Studios And now, I'm just trying to spell it out for the list. Felger and Mask. S-T-O-O-O-P-I-D. T-E-P-I-D. P-O-B, boom. Isn't that, Bob? Felger and Mask. Q-U-U-I-T-Q-Q. Okay, thank you. No, spell up for me, too. I'm an idiot. 985 the Sports Hub

You're Belgar and MAG. Q U. U. IT quit. Okay, thank you. No, spell up for me too.

I'm an idiot. 985, the Sports Hub. You're reporting that this breakup was actually years in the making. So what ignited that process? How did it begin? Well, I think that it goes back to the fall of 2017, and that's that Tom Brady wanted a contract extension and he wanted

a contract extension from the New England Patriots that would guarantee that he played until his

mid-40s and achieved his goal. And the Patriots just weren't willing to do that. They wanted to go

year to year, which makes sense. I mean, he is in his 40s, but that was always going to be the

tension. You had a

quarterback who wanted to play in his mid-40s, and you had a head coach whose genius was always

knowing when it was the right time to move on from a player. He kept Brady, you know, until age 42,

Bill Belichick did, longer than many expected, certainly longer than many close to Tom Brady

So there's Seth Wickersham, WESPN. W.NBC.

Jesus. Seth Wickersham, ES.E. W. NBC. Jesus.

Seth Wickersham, ESPN,

finally collecting.

It took a year or two longer than he thought,

but finally collecting on his terrific story in January of 2018,

detailing the palace intrigue, i.e.

the palace coup,

and we know it's palace coup, but we call it the Q because of one of our callers. Matthew and Framingham called the Palace Q. So all the emailers say it's the, it's coup. I know it's cool. Can you correct Felger and tell him it's coup? So it's great. We still have all these new listeners who don't get the inside joke, but it's So we call it the palace queue. So that comes home to Roos two years later, I think. Was it the palace queue? Was it the personality conflict or was it simply the contract? Because what, Wickersham? That was Wickersham just yesterday. Say it came down to the contract. So what about all the other stuff? And how do we square those two away, which leads to Mazas Rodenheiser take to lead off this hour. Yep, Huck takes brought to by Rodenizer Home Services. Go to Rodenheiser.com to learn more. So when I was reading the Wickersham thing, here is what sort of popped in my head. This all happened after they won the fifth Super Bowl, that after they beat Atlanta, that all of a sudden, all,

all doubt was removed.

They were the greatest dynasty ever.
