Thanks for choosing Felger and Maz to entertain. There's no reason to touch you in the afternoon. I think you're cheeks for a little loose. 985, the Sports Hub. Tom, do you believe this is a championship team? You've been in the Super Bowl three of the last four years, and you've won two of them. Do you believe this team can rise to that level or is there not enough here?

I mean, absolutely. I mean, we're, there's a lot of good teams. And the best teams now start to take the leap forward. And, you know, we have to go do it. It's one thing to say it is what we can do is what we should be. And it's another go do it, which is I've always been of the belief, well done is better than well said. So we've got a great opportunity. We're at first place in our division. And what will become of this season will be determined by how we play and prepare moving forward. Some teams this time of year lose a lot of discipline. They lose commitment. They lose effort. They lose willingness. You know, our team has always been one that's kind of ascended. And I hope that's what this team's all about.

Okay, that was Brady with his buddy Jim Gray. Last Thursday, actually, I thought that was a good cut,

though. All right. As promised, right back to your phones with Greg Bedard here in our town for Attire Studios. Aaron in Northborough, what do you got?

Well, first of all, I appreciate coming in off the Brady quote because the effort that people lose midseason, he lost before the season even began. But anyway, Baderd, last night's game, Patriots do not have any speed. We are old and we are slow. And I think

that everybody is on crack if you think they're going to make it pass the Chiefs again,

if they make it to a championship round, either against the Steelers or the Chiefs, I don't see

it happening. And can I just say that I got way too excited last night about Hecker. What a hunter.

He is amazing. Aaron, I was just saying this in the break. And Aaron, call any time. That is a

great phone, sir. Thank you for that phone. Do you remember when... Can we turn that down?

When the Rams came here in golf's rookie year a couple of years ago, Belichick talked about Hecker for like 15 minutes.

We all kind of laughed at the time.

He called him a weapon. Now I get it. That guy's ridiculous. It's a weapon. But his other points, do the Pats not have the speed to keep up with those kind of teams, Greg? Can I answer? Yes. No. I mean, yes, let me answer while you're hemming and hauling.

The answer is on a track like last night with weather like last night, no.

No. I mean, yes, let me answer while you're hemming and hauling. The answer is on a track like last night with weather like last night, no. No. If the Patriots played one of those teams in a dome or on a perfect Southern California night, they'd be in deep trouble. Well, playing one of those teams in the middle of January, 12 degrees, maybe raining sideways. Yeah. Yeah, there could be some weather neutralization going on there. Well, what about the Super Bowl? So that's what I'm saying. Okay. So, well, I don't know if they're equipped to do it like they have been in the past. I don't know if they're equipped to put up 40. But in general, I was going to say your speed question? No. But can they find a way to hang in the game and then Brady's the difference at the end of the game? Yes, just like they did in the Super Bowl. Yeah, they don't have the speed of those teams. They don't. Not on offense, not in the secondary. Nowhere. They don't. Could they muck it up? Probably. So then, Greg, you said there's no way to defend it, though. Like, how do they do it?

How would they hang in?

A lot of zone, a lot of tackling.

You have to tackle well. You have to. You have to be fast. You have to cover. You have to, you know, at least, you know, threaten routes and disrupt them that way. and you have to tackle extraordinarily well,

which the Patriots did not do in the Super Bowl.

Billy in Rhode Island, Billy, what do you got for us today?

How you doing, No, Felga? tackle extraordinarily well, which the Patriots did not do in the Super Bowl. Billy in Rhode Island.

Billy, what do you got for us today?
