The Cork Soakers started off their latest show with some talk of the International Date Line before Mini-Gary and Andy got into it over Mini-Gary’s new “Jew-fro,” leading Fred to get on Andy for his fledgling attempt at growing a beard. Lunch arrives, courtesy of Chris Simonelli, then shortly thereafter from Vinny. Fred mentions that he notices Tom holding court with the ladies around his cubicle, using his soft voice, but Tom counters that none of the girls thinks he’s attractive and they’re just gossiping over American Idol and such – however, he shows that his ring “comes off pretty easily.”

Tom then went after a PatsFans.com thread that polls posters on whether they would trade Welker for Chad Johnson; Paul and Tom both read the thread. John from LA, a longtime PatsFans poster weighed in, with a few pointed comments towards PatsFans before moving onto other Pats business. On the heels of John’s call, Dan in Delaware calls in to lament over the Super Bowl loss. We then go live to Brett Favre’s press conference to announce his retirement as the sobbing quarterback is at the podium.

Tom gives his scouting report on the top quarterbacks in the draft after talking about Brady Quinn who supposedly asking for a trade to the Packers. Speaking of quarterbacks, Andy brings up rumors of a video of Brady and Gisele making out in a wine cellar like 15-year olds, prompting a discussion on how Tom hasn’t kissed his wife in a year and on how Andy just wants to “get to the finish line” with his wife. Paul thinks they’d never get away with that on real radio, but Andy thinks they’d be so rich it wouldn’t be funny. Fred changes the subject to the incompetence of the Raiders and Al Davis before the break.

After the break, Matt from Oregon calls in from a stairwell and backs up Erik’s performance last show despite numerous e-mails calling it the worst in history. Matt then offers Andy a slab of elk on his next trip back east, and they go into a discussion on Seymour’s disappointing 2007 season. E-mail time, and Casale goes into some more draft scouting reports. This is followed by an e-mailer calling for Sanders and Hobbs extensions, which Tom scoffs at – “you could find 30 guys in the NFL to do what Ellis Hobbs does.” More draft talk hosted by Tom Casale, with talk on combine numbers and Fred’s nose tackle prospect Jason Shirley. After another break, it’s more draft discussion, then for the second straight week, talk of Erik’s prep school squash play. The show then ends with tampering to Spygate comparisons, which Fred buys into but Paul downplays, before Tom and Erik go at it over the number of push-ups they can do.
