12/30/08 – Pretty fly for a white guy
The offseason schedule began today, following the Patriots falling short in the hunt for a playoff place, with talk about the potential coaching moves including Scott Pioli, Josh McDaniels, Eric Mangini and Romeo Crenel. Fred then mentioned the former Pats beat reporter Tom Curran who wrote that Brady’s recovery from his knee injury is “well behind schedule” on NBCSports.com. Fred brought up Paul’s continuing media whoring with an invite to appear on Comcast despite his solo appearance on WEEI today.
The guys then brought up the win at Buffalo and the extraordinary weather conditions and how the Patriots’ season was remarkable following all the injuries and how they were only one or two plays away from the playoff. The guys then talked about how the Jets let us down when we needed them to come through and the sacking of Mangini. They also talked about how poorly Brett Favre played and his lack of mobility didn’t help them towards the end of the regular season. Chris with a tian called in with the thought that the season was “interesting”, how he would have taken 11-5 in week two and is looking forward to 09. Fred then made the call that the Patriots would win it all in 09, like someone once said “Book it!”.
Following a break Mike from San Francisco called in and brought up a discussion about life after Tom Brady and how Josh McDaniels was instrumental this year. The guys then talked about the news that the 2010 Pro Bowl would take place a week before the SuperBowl in Miami, and not Hawaii before emailer Tammy in New York called Andy “pretty good looking for a white guy” after seeing him on the PFW TV show on NECN. Brian from Brighton called in to talk about NFL QBs and their apparent penchant for tongue rings, give props to Erik and to express disappointment with Randy Moss.
An email brought up the Patriots 09 draft and what compensatory picks they would get before Andy joined the show. Steven in Oregon then called in and brought up Fred winning the picks competition on the show (but not here on PFWinProgress.com) before the guys talked briefly about the Cowboys. Following a call from Burtoni the guys briefly broke down the season and how disappointing it was that the team played so well in December and wouldn’t be able to carry the form into the post-season.
