0:00.0	Welcome to the Peter King Podcast. It's sort of a surreal week, a surreal time in our country with everything
0:17.6	going on with the coronavirus and I want to be really really respectful to the fact that there's so many things that are so much
0:26.7	more important than football in the United States and around the world right now
0:30.9	but I hope to provide whatever 40 or 45 minutes where if you
0:37.0	choose and I understand if you don't but if you choose you can have a little bit of
0:41.8	an escape from the 24-7 is it possible to have 25-7
0:49.6	news about the coronavirus. Anyway, I just hope that I can give you a little bit of

2:19.2	social media said goodbye to the New England Patriots and we talked about
2:24.5	Brady and we talked about free agency as well so a lot of good information coming
2:30.8	your way in the next few minutes from Matt Barrows and Scott Pioli.
2:36.4	But I want to start with a quick Tom Brady story at the top of the podcast this week it just seems appropriate.
2:46.1	In the year 2005 I was working for Sports Illustrated and I remember it was a Sunday morning and I was on my way to cover
