Let's Drive. Hey, Boomer. Hey, good morning, guys, and good morning, Courtney, and thank God, Greg and we're in here this morning. I can only, I can't even imagine what they're going to be like to deal with. They were complaining last night upon landing, so we got that coming in. Greg was already complaining the pressure on his ears, the pressure on his ears, crying. The cabin depressurized too quickly for Greg, I guess. Well, you know what that is? That's NARPian behavior, and NARPian behavior. NARP stands for a non-athletic regular person. Hey, boomer, I caught your national show over the weekend, which we air here on WVEI, and you were defending the Patriots on your show against Valenti. Does Valenti represent America? Does America still hate this team in this franchise? I don't think they hate them. I just don't think that there are a lot of people that believe in them, just simply because of the strength of schedule, what happened to all these coaches after they had played this, you know, this schedule that they had this year, how many were fired. And then when you look at what happened in the playoffs and all the different scenarios

that the teams that they were playing against, you know, how to go through, whether it

be a backup quarterback, missing tackles, you know, a wide receiver for Houston out.

So I think there's a lot of people out there making excuses for the Patriots.

But I've been doing this for a long time in Boston.

And this radio program that I

started way back when in 2001 was with a Patriot team that nobody gave a chance of the Super Bowl

against the Rams. And I'll never forget picking the Patriots to beat the Rams going into that

Super Bowl. And nothing surprises me when it comes to this franchise. It's one of the best

run franchises in all of professional sports in this country. The fact that they're back in the

Super Bowl this quickly is nothing short of amazing. And the one thing I said when this playoff

started in Courtney, you'll remember this, I said, if you want to, you know, argue against strength of schedule and you want to stand tall about what you accomplished this year, go out and validate it. And I think they have validated it by making it to the Super Bowl. Boomer, everybody here's talking about Drake May's shoulder and what's going on there. When it comes to you and watching what they did against the Broncos, did you see an injury happen there? And how can a quarterback overcome an injury like that going into the Super Bowl? I thought he heard himself when he was running with the ball and he fell awkwardly on his right shoulder. So it might have been a mild separation or something like that. I don't think it's anything worse than that or he wouldn't have finished the game in Denver. I don't really take that second half too seriously, just given the fact of the weather.

And the way that Josh Allen, Josh McDaniels was calling plays in the second half,

he went back to the running game.

It was 80% run, if not higher than that.

And that's who they are, and that was their identity.

I mean, like, their offense has not been great throughout these playoffs. They're only averaging 18 points per game. I think it's one of the lowest points per games for a, you know, team going into the Super Bowl through the playoffs since I don't remember one. It's been a long time. So, you know, they have to be better on offense. There's no question about that. They need

bigger plays in the passing game. The problem is they're going to be playing against the number

one scoring defense in the Seattle Seahawks. Now, they have played the second and third in the,

I believe, in the Broncos and also the Texans. So they're used to playing against good defenses
