Oh, right, of course, because I should know who that is.

I don't care what you think.

I'll tell you some of the rub me right.

I'm going to filter and mass on 98-5 for Sports Hub.

Curran, I know we're talking a lot about the type of receiver physically that the Patriots would want, but how much will Mike Rable prioritize the attitude and what they, the intangibles, so to speak, about receiving? I think it's critical. I think it's critical because whoever you bring in, you're going to be saying, okay, we're paying you half again as much as any other player on the roster, at the very least, maybe twice as much. So are you going to bring a work ethic? Are you going to, I'm going to protect the football team, as Rabel said. If I'm going to protect the football team, I'm not bringing in my highest paid guy by two times everybody else and having him sit there and not be engaged and wondering why I'm not getting the ball. He has to be a leader, Phil. So I think it is primary. What are your sense? Yeah, I agree with you. I feel like culture is really going to matter in terms of how they're trying to build it up with their acquisitions and with players that they may be parting from in the very near future. And so you look at somebody like Debo Samuel

Samuel getting traded for a fifth round pick. And we here may be wondering, well, why weren't the Patriots in on this? They got all sorts of money. Like, it's a fifth round pick. Like, maybe they could have even given away a fourth and it'd be worthwhile. And I'm not saying Debo Samuel's a bad guy or a bad teammate, but he is somebody who has a reputation of coming into camp out of shape consistently and having to work his way back into shape. And so again, in terms of the culture and the kind of example you want to set for the rest of your locker room, do you want to bring that guy in and say, oh, yeah, we just made him one of the highest paid players on the team. But he is probably going to set up the first couple weeks of training camp because he needs to get back in shape and shed a few pounds. It's like that to me, that's not a fit. And so I do think it's really going to matter this offseason for that.

All right. because he needs to get back in shape and shed a few pounds. Like that, to me, that's not a fit.

And so I do think it's really going to matter this offseason for that.

All right.

Okay, final hour, Felgram now.

We'll get to your calls.

Just this thing again.

It's just having trouble squaring something away.

And one is the amount of reports locally, nationally in fantasy world.

Even the fantasy reporters are weighing in that the Patriots are going to be super

aggressive.
