WEEI. You're waking up with the Greg Hill Show on

WEEI. And streaming everywhere on the Odyssey app.

Well, it's a Patriots Monday here on the Greg Hill show.

And the midday show, we believe, is Meggo and Lions today show.

That is correct.

So they'll be joined by Hunter Henry or Christian Ellis on this Patriots Monday.

And it is finally time. I'm sorry that I'm late on this to get Monday. And it is finally time.

I'm sorry that I'm late on this to get to.

They said it.

It's time for Larry Bird's not walking through that door fence.

Would not say that I'm Mona Lisa Pito of a football world.

They want you to cook the dinner.

At least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries.

Set it.

Wake up to Delmandino and have me phasing. Maybe I'll grill him in the eyes. They said it. I'm just going to say it. Where would you like to start today, Sean? Well, Courtney, let's begin with your New England Patriots after the game. Stefan Diggs caught up with Mike Garifolo of NFL Network. and Mike was asking him about Drake May.

Here was Stefan Diggs.

You talk about Drake. I just heard some MVP chance. What do you say about him? Did you know what you had in this quarterback when you came here? No, I did not. He surprised all of us. I knew he was going to be good, but no, I didn't know he was going to be this good. I'm just super proud of him. He approached this game in the right way, man, and I look forward to seeing more of him. If you had an MVP vote, Drake May. Yeah, I mean, you love to see it. And I think a lot of people are feeling that way. It's interesting as a Boston, New England fan to hear broadcasts because I feel like a lot of times broadcasts are bias against us, whether it's the Celtics, Bruins, Patriots. I thought you was a Steelers fan though. I do love the Steelers. I watched the end of that one. Tough loss for them yesterday. Yikes. What are we doing throwing a Marquez-Valdes scantling three times instead of Pat Friermuth, who got you basically all the way down the field. And then how many times he's going to throw swing passes? Yeah. Just unbelievable. Rogers looked that last series. He looked bad. Yeah, it was all over the place. He made that throw down the seam to Friamuth, and I'm like, oh, vintage Rogers, here we go, they're going to win. And then it was just a nightmare inside the 10. Yeah. But I just feel like every broadcast I listen to, whether it's our game or not, the praise for Drake May is there. Oh, yeah. Like loud and proud. The only person that I hear criticize him is Cam Newton. Well, I saw on Twitter, I think it was Dan Wetzel did an article about like the Patriots are not only good but they're likable for like the first time

ever do you feel that way like during the tom brady era it was we we seemed like the villains

a lot of the time everybody hated us because all we did was win but this year with with

Vrable and Drake May it seems as though we are far more likable than uh in the past because

I think people like Vrable's personality versus Bill, right? So Bill's personality was come off, you know, come across as like, this guy's a major a-hole where I think people look at Vrable and go, wow, he's like one of us. You know what I mean? Even if you're not a Patriots fan, you'd be like, oh, I would love to have a coach like that. He seems like the guys really respect them.

Fans love him. So I think you get that. And then with Drake May, I think people just like the fact that he's humble. You always talk about a Courtney. He doesn't give you any type of bulletin board material. If you ask about MVP, talks about how the other players are a huge part of that. So I think, you know, people like him because of that. The same way they, that's how Brady started off early in his career. And then it was just winning, winning, winning. They got tired of that. I don't know if Shyam caught it after the game yesterday, but I certainly did. when Drake was asked what was really clicking, why he was so successful yesterday. First thing he said,
