They were frightened.

I want Mass. What is this? Listen, I'll grant your Felger's crazy. Here we go. Man, I got to lay off the peyote. It was horrendous. Felger and Mass. 985, the Sports Hub. Bye! Okay, so we're going to start with some football 6177790. 985. Greg was listening to our program yesterday, as he does every day, from 2 to 6 p.m. here on 985 the sports or maybe

maybe, 7-790-985. Greg was listening to our program yesterday, as he does every day, from 2 to 6 p.m. here on 98-5, the sports. Or maybe it was a simulcast across New England and the country on CSN, but he had an issue with me, I think. So, Greg, why don't you just bring the issue to the table, please? Oh, well, Jimmy, you got any sound of what he was saying yesterday? Or not?

0:59.0

Did you ask me to pull it? Anyways, you know, Felger... That's a no. You were expecting Jimmy just to come up with... This is how it works. This is how it works on this program. When you'd like a piece of audio played, you put it in the email chain. Please pull this piece of sound. And you tell me specifically what it is. So I can be prepared for it as opposed to blindly assuming, because I don't have a hundred things to do in my day, that I can just produce it instantly.

1:02.7

On the air, yes.

1:04.0

That's the first you've asked.

1:05.8

Interesting.

1:06.9

Email chain goes out about seven in the morning, Greg.

1:09.3

Let me restate my opinion just to set it up. The more I think of it, the more I disagree with you and others that the Patriots are waiting to let this year play out before they make a determination on Brady v. Garoppel. You have said that the Patriots are waiting to see if they can acquire more data on Brady, and the more I think of it, the more I think that is just flat wrong. They have all the data they need.

1:27.8

In fact, their minds are already made up.

1:29.6

That's my take.

1:30.2

Mike, he's 40 years old.

1:41.6

You know, how do you know what he's going to look like at the end of the season? I have a very good idea, as do they. How? He's going to be really good, and they're going to go really far. take it to the bank.

1:43.6

You don't know that 100%?

1:47.8

Right, but I'm telling you what I think's going to happen and what they think is going to happen. Right, what you think, yes. You don't think that he's going to be really good and they're going to go really far? Yes, I think yes on both. I think yes on both, but you don't think there's a chance that the Patriots could be really good. Brady could be really good, but Bill could see something at the end of this season at age 40 where he starts to think, well, not start to think,

2:07.3

he's been thinking about it. Okay, I see the end's coming. I see it coming. No, because it's not

2:12.7

just him. It's him in the organization. It's him and the crafts. What if Brady gets hurt?

2:16.9

Brady is not going to, it doesn't matter. What if Brady gets hurt, Jimmy gets in, and Jimmy gets hurt? Let me give you a wild card. If he suffers some sort of weird back injury or neck injury that I, you know, just totally off the board, some sort of weird injury like that. But aside from that, if they have made up their mind to go with Brady, and I think they may have, it doesn't matter if he tears an ACL or sprains and Achilles tendon, he would come back. That's what I'm trying to tell you. And his performance is not going to fall off that far. It's just not. Well, it doesn't need to fall off that far for Bill to say. For Bill and Robert. How many guys have we seen here that we're like, well, whether it's Jamie Collins or Logan Mankins or Richard Seymour? Here's what I'm telling you. If his play drops 20%, which is a lot, and I don't expect that to happen, maybe it's... 10%. Maybe 10. But if it drops 20 to 25%, it won't be enough. So you think they've made up their minds, and that's it? Yep. Okay. Wait, it won't be enough for what? So that means nothing can change their minds? There's only one exception. So let me give you, let me so we don't talk in circles. You know, you're going to hear two things from me, if I can spit this out.

3:25.7

If it were me, I'd go with Garoppolo, and I would lean towards Garoppel, and that's, you know, what a Schaefter has said, and I trust Schaeffern, so that's me. That's what I think, and that's what I believe. But I'm not going to say that that's what the team believes. there's only three scenarios and there's really only two.

3:40.8

There's really only two scenarios and the third

3:43.1

is a two percent chance here's scenario one brady retires and they go with gharapolo
