Here we go, here we go.

This is Felger and Mass.

Yeah, Rex Ryan here. I hate guests. Yep, yep, yep, yeah. There's no reason to touch him. Keep it in your pants. Why would you do? Felger and Mass. 985. The Sports Hub. The dark night, the sports buzzard, the sports vulture himself has come down from 7 o'clock to grace us from 2 to 6. This is such a great day for us, such a great day.

The national treasure is here. buzzard. The sports vulture himself has come down from 7 o'clock to grace us from 2 to 6.

This is such a great day for us. Such a great day. The national treasure is here. Adam Jones filling in for Tony Mazrides. Hi, Jones. Hi. No, no revs game tonight. So they let me off the leash into the afternoon show. Which is a loss for everyone around, all the way around. Jim Murray's back in the update studios. We got Stuart and

Billy Lanny behind the glass. We're coming to you from our

town from our town. everyone around, all the way around. Jim Murray's back in the update studios.

We got Stuart and Billy Lanny behind the glass. We're coming to you from our town fair tire studios in Brighton. Want to talk some football, Jones? Because I know you have some pent-up takes for us. I do have some pent-up takes. Where do you want to start? Okay, well, I just want to start with you putting your email chain this morning. You think this week as DefCon 1 for the Patriots? No, no, no, no, no. If they lose, Felger, if they lose,

I'm not projecting that they will. But if they lose to this crappy Saints team, then yes, it would be DefCon 1. So then it's a DefCon 1 kind of game. Yeah, if they don't win it, yes. Well, that makes it a DefCon 1 kind of game. Well, they better win. This is DefConwan. Why do you say that? Well, did you watch New Orleans on Monday night?

A little bit.

What'd you think?

Poor. Very poor. But you think that's the way that works in that league? I think to a week like that? I think with the Patriots on some level it works that way. Yeah. I think when a team looks bad and when the Patriots, especially when they play, not quite the way we expected them to play,

I expect the Patriots to come out and blow their doors off. I don't think New Orleans is going to be good. New Orleans has to come back home. They have a short week. They only have six days to get ready for the game. Patriots have 10 days to get ready for this game. Brady's calling people out. I'm sure Bill's calling people out. so I expect them to answer the bell, but...

This game doesn't have you worried, though.

No, not really.

When Bill is going... people out. I'm sure Bill's calling people out. So I expect them to answer the bell, but...

This game doesn't have you worried, though. No, not really. When Bill is going on and on about their punter, I think that tends to be a bad sign for the other team. Like, didn't he do that with the Rams last year? He did. Johnny Hecker is a weapon? He's a weapon of a punter. That was the best Bill could come up with when When he's coming up with Thomas Morstead, whatever the hell his name is, the punter for New Orleans, the jugs machine, as Bill put him, then yeah, I'm not too worried about the saints. And one of the best things you can say about him is they have a good punter, I don't think Bill's all that worried. So some might say, like your co-host at night, that you're just saying that to set up the criticism after the fact that that is a way to say, well, look, I thought they were going to blow doors. I had them big in this game. The fact that they struggled, you know, so that's really, so that's the. That's the Jones trap is what that is. Jones trap, sure.

You think I need them to, you think I need them to just barely win a game to rip into them, Felger? I don't need that. And that also what you called Murray the other day, the long play? Yeah. Like, you know, Maz is saying they're going to go 19 and 0, so when they go 14 and 2, it's like you can rip them like because they underachieved.

Brilliant.

So that's a sport, that's taking the long play in terms of a sports take.

Now a cynic might say that's a sport that that's taken the long play in terms of a sports take.

Now a cynic might say that you're doing that right here.
