| 0:03.8 | Stop! You're making me laugh so hard. What you're doing is so funny. |
| 0:07.8 | Toucher and rich. |
| 0:08.6 | You're on a roll. I am bussing a gut. |
| 0:10.6 | 985, the sports hub. |
| 0:15.0 | I don't know. It's just a thing with me. |
| 0:18.0 | If I say something that I like, it's... 98ety and five. Sports up, we're a toucher and Rich. And I like what I see, baby. Adam Jones is in for Rich. Now, Mike Giardy from NBC Sports, Boston. He has tweeted something out regarding the Patriots. Yes. He's going to join us at 820, by the way. Yes. In short, just to summarize it, he says that Bill Belichick is not alienated but upset his planet players. |
| 0:43.6 | Tom Brady and Rob Grunkowski, he's agitated both of them. |
| 0:47.8 | They feel as though they're sacrificing a lot and not being treated very well. |
| 0:52.7 | And this kind of goes along the lines of what we were talking about yesterday. Belichick has finally begun to rub his players the wrong way. Brady has kind of struck out on his own and is kind of rebelling against the Belichick way. And because Belichick's been able to walk all over Brady for most of his career, that kept everybody else in line. If he can do it to this guy, he sure as hell can do it to me.

| 1:35.0 | The players like Brady and Grom, quote-unquote, don't feel appreciated for the sacrifices they make. |
| 1:41.3 | He also doubled back and said, source still believes Gronk will play and will be armed with a raise when all is said and done. |
| 1:48.7 | So he also added that as well. |
| 1:50.1 | He doesn't think Gronk is going anywhere, but he's not happy and he wants more money. |
| 1:54.9 | Yeah. |
| 1:55.2 | We discussed this after the show yesterday. |
| 1:57.5 | I think that every day that goes by without Rod Runkowski announcing everything |
| 2:01.4 | is more likely that he's going to come and play again this year. |
| 2:07.2 | I mean, this all points back to, you know, you have a shelf life, |
| 2:11.4 | and Bill Belichick's has been longer than most. |
| 2:14.9 | You know, he's been dominant in his field for, you know, 15, 16 years. |
